Wolverhampton
Fri 2nd Jan

Formscan  - TONAL needed only to be pushed out in the closing stages to win cosily at Chelmsford last month. That was his third victory in his last four outings and Ian Williams' charge remains of interest, despite a 6lb rise. Ernie's Valentine has been in the mix in a couple of starts on the Polytrack since scoring over C&D and is not out of this. Studious returns to the Tapeta with a shout having won at Newcastle in November.
