Rocket Rob and course and distance winner Freepressionist look good here but neither has run a race this year so it is the recent Lingfield winner TRIP SWITCH who makes the selection. The gelding ran with plenty on promise on his debut back in February and followed up last time out with a win. He ran well there and the three-year-old and has not been overly punished by the assessor. Making his Wolverhampton debut here today shouldn't hamper progress as he looks a nice type for sprint handicaps, both on poly-track and on turf. Three-year-old Rocket Rob was a beaten favourite last time out but that was back in November and he hasn¿t raced since. The gelding will be making the most of the run out here as he won on his only previous race here back in June of last year; he has preference for the poly-track and will fare well in this handicap where few others make any appeal. Freepressionist was a course and distance winner back in November of last year, but is another who hasn't raced since last year. The filly looks feasible off a mark of 68 and could make an impact here today but for the winner we can look no further than Trip Switch.
