Verdict

Bo MinGinty is proving frustrating so in a really tight handicap we side with TRISKAIDEKAPHOBIA, who is beginning to look well treated, while Trick Or Treat can't be ruled out. Racing at Wolverhampton is the selection's forte having scored four wins over course and distance. He showed a spark of form when not beaten far last time and with a pound removed from his back for that run he looks weighted for a bold bid. Trick Or Treat looks competitive off this mark having run well off it the last twice and although he is yet to win at this venue he does act on this surface and if running up to his best he has claims on a weak contest. Bo MinGinty keeps finding a few too good despite looking weighted to win so is opposed again while Meikle Barfil could go well at double figure odds with winning course and distance form to call on. It's a real tough opener this and Triskaidekaphobia is only our best suggestion.
