THURSDAY FLAT RACING TIPS

17:00 Wolverhampton

Lovely Mana has switched between the AW and turf, with two prior runs here at Wolves resulting in a convincing victory over the minimum trip and an encouraging third over six furlongs. She was last seen going off at 100/1 in a Group 3 in Ireland but returns to much calmer waters today so looks to have a solid chance.

La Feile is yet to race on an all weather surface but won well on debut at Beverley in July and wasn’t disgraced when fourth at Leicester last time out, her first run over six furlongs. There should be more to come from Richard Fahey’s filly and she rates as the main danger, for all she has to prove her effectiveness on the tapeta.

Despite his advancing years Fieldsman retains plenty of ability at this level, posting three close-up seconds from his last five runs, and the prior course and distance winner gets well with jockey Mollie Phillips so should remain competitive off today’s mark.

Port Noir has posted two wins from three over course and distance but doesn’t have the best of draws and also doesn’t look to have much wiggle room of his current mark, while Frow is another with an excellent record here at Wolves, posting four wins from six at todays’ trip, however is another who could do with being given a little help from the handicapper.

At opposite ends of the weights, Secret Moment and Duty Beyond also look to hold reasonable chances.
