Wolverhampton Placepot picks: Robbie Wilders' selections for the £50,000 guaranteed pool

Nobody Knows holds entries in the Irish 2,000 Guineas and Irish Derby, and his team can dream after his impressive debut success at Ayr in the autumn. He should be too good in the novice (4.28) that opens the Placepot at Wolverhampton.

Lahan Kingman, another who is trained by Richard Hughes and holds a Classic entry, shaped well on her debut at Newbury last summer and catches the eye in the next (5.00). 

It is a trappy race, though, so the Andrew Balding-trained Leonie also goes in after a promising introduction over course and distance this month. 

White Umbrella was a good third on her second run for Christopher Kellett in a higher grade a fortnight ago and should appreciate an extra furlong in division one of the 7f handicap (5.30).

Good Karma has finished in the first three in all three course-and-distance starts and is the other pick. 

Lightly raced fillies Amelia's Joy, who sports first-time cheekpieces, and the well-bred Crystal Dagger appeal in the second division (6.00).

Man Is King ran well over a mile and a half last time, but looks happier over shorter distances and is solid in the first classified race (6.30) on the card.  

Marinakis's form ties in with Man Is King's and he gets the vote in the other one (7.00).
