Race And Rest - Wolverhampton Holiday Inn Maiden Handicap Stakes

Placed third last time out and again three starts back, Media Legend has experience of today's trip and conditions and rates the one to beat on our figures, though he remains yet to win in his last five starts.

Forest Caper shaped with promise when finishing second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 79 puts him clear of most rivals; the main risk is a 189-day absence leaving his fitness in question.

Showcasing Star has run over today's trip and going, and his speed rating of 82 stands out in this field; drawn in stall 2 carrying 134 lb after 52 days away, the chief concern is that he has been winless in his last six starts.

Third three starts back — and again four starts back — Norman Invasion carries solid recent form into this, and his experience over today's trip and going underlines his claims; the main risk is a 54-day absence leaving him short of peak fitness.

Consistent placegetter in recent starts but winless in her last five, Hamda's Joy faces a stiff task ranked fifth of six on our figures despite the experience over today's trip and going; the 132 lb burden from stall one adds further pressure.
