Four Runners at Wolverhampton

11 March 2025 Mark Usher Racing news

Grecian God, See The Buckthorn, Shades of May and Outreach all go to Wolverhampton this evening; in three Divisions of the seven furlong Classified Stake.

Outreach, the First Division, has, if he reproduces his performance when winning over the c&d two runs back, has a reallty excellent ew chance on these terms and from an excellent draw; the six last time didn't seem to suit as well as we thought it would and his overall pattern of form has a slightly inconsistent look but he has the best chance at the weights this evening and is at least three pounds clear of everything else bar just Kapparis Kid; as long as he does run his race he is overpriced at sixs or thereabouts and there has been money for him overnight.

Grecian God in the Second Division has an even better draw in one although his overall form, whilst giving him an ew chance, isn't quite as clear cut as Outreach's chance and he might have several pounds to find with the favourite and with Hawajes and Star of Atlantis; it is possible he will strip sharper for runnning at Southwell ex three months off and a repitition of when he won over the c&d last August and was third at Kempton in September would see him go close.

The Third Div sees both See The Buckthorn and Shades of May run from two draws, 9 and 10, that could have been better; it is difficult to make a case out for STB unless you go back in his form a long way and he has struggled a bit for consistency, his last run at Southwell being an example even if he didn't like the track as much as here and Kempton; it is hard to predict how close he will get.

But Shades of May, significantly less exposed than the other three, has as good a form chance at the weights as the rest in the Third Division; you can probably forigve him his last run, over six at Chelmsford, where he got well behind early before making a fair bit of late progress and, as long as he is sharper at the stalls and over the first furlong, has an excellent ew form chance.

One response is to tie Outreach, GG and SofM into a ew Lucky 15 with Hasthing in the NH Chase, the last race at Cheltenham; you might recall the impressive performance at Windsor where he overcome all sorts of trouble in running to power home; and although he didn't quite make the frame in a good class race at Ascot (when the Blog beefed him up) he was still a close up fourth; he will be suited by both the trip and the track at Cheltenham and he is considerably overpriced at 14s or better.

Conquest of Power and This Time Maybe both go to Wolverhampton tomorrow evening.
