Monday Wolverhampton top racing tip: Cassiel looking to make the frame
Tipstrr racing expert Richard Hutchinson has been following the form of Mark Weatherer's Cassiel, and thinks he offers decent outsider value on Wolverhampton's all-weather track on Monday evening.
Normally we would expect a three-year-old handicap to be full of unexposed types, but this Class 6 race is an exception.
The market leaders are fully exposed, and whilst they have shown form, they have been limited to placed efforts and look well worth taking on.
Cassiel sits towards the bottom of the betting market, but is one of the least exposed in the field. He ran five times in the summer as a two-year-old and looked backward, green, and modest, only postmarking a high of 25 in his three maidens over five and six furlongs.

It is his next, and most recent start that is most interesting. Stepping up to a mile for the first time, Cassiel dwelt at the start and was stuck in a pocket for much of the race before making late headway three out, staying on well to only go down by three lengths (postmarking 46).
He has been a sluggish out of the stalls, which remains a concern, but his previous form is based upon those slow starts, so just an average break from today's low draw could well be enough to put him in with a big chance today.
