Wolverhampton Placepot picks: Richard Birch eyes £100,000 guaranteed pool

There is a £100,000 guaranteed Placepot pool at Wolverhampton, so let’s try to solve the six races.

The best form in the two-year-old novice stakes (5.00) belongs to Harry’s Hero, a comfortable Musselburgh scorer in August. Cavern Club’s placed efforts at Yarmouth and Redcar from two career starts make him of interest too.

Lordsbridge Girl has now qualified for a handicap mark, but William Knight sends his filly to Dunstall Park to contest the novice stakes for three-year-olds and upwards (5.30). Victoria Falls, noted making good late headway at Newcastle recently, could also make a splash in this company.

Street Kid stands out in the 7f handicap (6.00) on the back of two rock-solid runs in defeat this season. He has crept up the weights but should still prove up to the task.

Super Julius is drawn to run his rivals ragged in division one of the 5f handicap (6.30), but the second division (7.00) looks less straightforward.

Fair And Square and Captain Corcoran look the pair best equipped to rise to the challenge from decent draws.

Exquisitely graduates to handicaps off a fair mark of 71 and can take the 5f nursery (7.30) for Karl Burke.
