Smoker Bellamy rates below the top three on these figures but is preferred on the strength of a progressive profile and a perceived fitness edge that the bare ratings do not fully capture, making this a race in which the clock may favour our selection over the classier-looking rivals. Ravenswell heads the field on rating and must be respected, while Someone’s Wish and Lawmans Blis both sit narrowly ahead of Smoker Bellamy and will ensure this twelve-furlong Wolverhampton affair is no straightforward task. The confidence here is modest, and punters should be aware this is a close-run call at the lower end of the handicapping ladder. Smoker Bellamy is the selection.
