Timeform look at a sprint handicap at Wolverhampton

Timeform examine each runner in a competitive class 4 handicap...

Dorback won over 5f at Southwell in November and good staying-on second over C&D on New Year's Day. Creditable efforts all 3 starts since and likely to continue to perform well.

Island Legend is best when able to dominate and bounced back to form when making all at Kempton (5f) last month. Ridden too aggressively/finished lame over that C&D next time, but may bounce back here.

Six Wives went close to a tenth career win when touched off over C&D in November (Alaskan Bullet behind). Below form all 3 starts at Lingfield since, but back off a winnable mark and one to consider

Tyfos's best effort in 2012 came when close third to Head Space at Newcastle (5f) in June. Not so good in 3 subsequent runs, though, and needs to put his best foot forward after 6 month absence.

Royal Bajan was blinkered for the first time when dotting up at Southwell (5f) in November. Has been well below form all 5 starts on polytrack since, though, and hopes rest on re-fitting of headgear working oracle.

Verinco had a good spell in 2011 but never found his feet in light campaign last year. Possibly needed run on recent C&D return and dangerous to dismiss from reduced mark.

Alaskan Bullet matched the pick of his form for Michael Bell when taking C&D seller in November and career-best effort from out of weights when third in Lingfield handicap (5f) last week. Tops the shortlist.

Rylee Mooch is a front runner who won over C&D back in March and notched a third success of last year in a 5f Lingfield handicap in November. Below par 4 days later and others preferred after 2-month absence.
 
Triple Dream won 3 times in 2012 and has posted solid placed efforts both starts this year. Holds each-way claims again.

Rocket Rob landed a 5f Sandown handicap in September. Below form at Kempton twice since, though likely to get strong pace which suits here, so not dismissed, especially if the market speaks in his favour.

Timeform 1-2-3:

1. Alaskan Bullet
2. Dorback
3. Rocket Rob

Timeform View: The presence of several prominent racers may set this up for the likes of Alaskan Bullet, Dorback and Rocket Rob, with the first named of particular interest after a smashing effort at Lingfield just over a week ago.
