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

There is a £100,000 guaranteed Placepot pool at Wolverhampton, so it’s well worth trying to solve the six puzzles.

Three-year-olds have landed the last two runnings of the apprentice handicap (4.30) and course-and-distance scorer All About Alice could make it a hat-trick.

Kopa Kilana, who boasts scope for improvement, looks worth including too.

The Big Board, placed on her last five starts, has achieved a general level of form which ought to be good enough to land the 5f novice (5.00) for two-year-olds.

Class-dropper Corsican Caper takes the eye in the nursery (5.30). He contested a valuable York event won by the 103-rated Streets Of Gold last time and an opening mark of 71 could prove fair.

Sweet Fortune, a winner over course and distance, could also go well if returning refreshed from a 65-day break.

Irregular Warfare stands out in division one of the 7f maiden (6.00) for Roger Varian, while the William Knight-trained Red Hat Eagle makes similar appeal in division two (6.30).

A first-time visor could work wonders for the well-drawn Starshiba in the 7f handicap (7.00), with Visibility also meriting a second look.
