In depth

Verdict

Four of these won at Wolverhampton on their latest outings. Buckland Beau beat Walk Like A Giant over today's trip and should be in the mix once again while Hernando Torres scored over a mile and is preferred to winning plater Tatting. But ST PATRICK'S DAY is the least exposed having won a maiden race with a bit to spare and John Jenkins' colt should have more to offer over this longer distance. Cornelious landed the odds in a seller here earlier but was beaten back in handicap company last time.
