Newsboy's Expert Picks for Friday's ITV4 Racing at Wolverhampton
Racing enthusiasts are in for a treat this Friday evening as Wolverhampton hosts a nine-race meeting, with the final seven contests broadcast live on ITV4's Friday Night Live. Leading the coverage, Newsboy has unveiled his selections, headlined by a strong tip for Grant Wood to secure a hat-trick victory.
Grant Wood Poised for Triple Success
Grant Wood is the standout pick in the SBK: No Casino Just Sports Handicap at 8.30 pm. Trained by Paul Midgley, this seven-year-old gelding has been in impressive form, notching back-to-back six-furlong wins at Newcastle in his last two outings. Ridden by David Nolan, he carries a 4lb penalty after a convincing two and three-quarter length victory over Ziggy's Condor last Thursday. Newsboy believes he remains well-treated under these conditions and is ripe for landing a third consecutive win.
Other Key Selections on the Wolverhampton Card
In the Friday Night Live With SBK Handicap (Div II) at 6.30 pm, Coloane is fancied to deliver for trainer Roger Fell, a North Yorkshire neighbour of Midgley. Just half an hour earlier, in the Division I of the same race, Youarenotforgiven should not be overlooked, offering value for punters.
Jockey Rossa Ryan has strong claims for a double, starting with City of Poets in the SBK: Dont Settle For Less Handicap at 7.00 pm, a last-time-out course-and-distance scorer. Ryan's mount Metallo, who narrowly missed out at Lingfield last month on his debut for John Butler, is tipped for compensation in the Bet Responsibly With SBK Handicap at 7.30 pm.
The evening kicks off with the SBK: Betting Without The Bull Handicap at 5.30 pm, where Sea of Charm looks set to perform well, while The Dragon King appeals in the concluding SBK Betting Podcast Handicap at 8.30 pm.
Full Friday Selections Across UK Meetings
Newsboy has also provided comprehensive tips for other UK racecourses on Friday. At Musselburgh, highlights include Dearkeithandkaty as the NAP (best bet) and Big Storm Brewing. Newbury features Captain Bellamy as the next best selection, alongside picks like Cornish Storm and Swift Jet. Lingfield Park offers contenders such as St Faz and Profit Street.
For those looking to maximise returns, Newsboy recommends a double bet combining Dearkeithandkaty from Musselburgh and Captain Bellamy from Newbury, adding an extra layer of excitement to the day's racing action.
With ITV4 bringing the thrill of live racing to armchair punters, these expert insights from Newsboy provide a valuable guide for navigating the competitive fields and identifying potential winners across the nation's tracks.
