Newfangled is our selection in this Wolverhampton ten-furlong event, and the case rests on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that make him a shade more appealing than his raw figure suggests. He is rated 79, four pounds behind the top-rated Ted Le Saux on 83, so the gap is a modest one that those factors can plausibly bridge. Ted Le Saux is the chief danger on figures, with Hozam on 81 and Roi de Coeur on 78 also firmly in the mix in a tightly packed nine-runner field. This is far from a straightforward race, but Newfangled's upward trajectory makes him the one to side with.
