RACING POST VERDICT

Optician heads this eleven-runner Wolverhampton mile-and-a-half contest on the all-weather narrowly ahead of James Choice and Sigliosa, who share the same rating and represent the most pressing dangers, with Pure Moon not far behind and capable of making the frame if Optician encounters any trouble. The selection has scope to dictate matters over this trip on the standard going, and if reproducing his best form he ought to prove too strong for a competitive if modest Class 5 field. Confidence is not high, and punters should be aware that James Choice and Sigliosa could reverse the ratings on the day, while Pure Moon merits respect at this level. Optician is the selection.
