Tipstrr pundit Model Man landed three winners at 22/1, 14/1 and 11/1 on Friday, so we have high hopes that his tip can complete another good day in the very last race of the night at Wolverhampton.

If the current betting is a reliable measure, then early market leaders Percy Willis and Shazam are the ones to beat, with the latter looking to have improved since her last all-weather appearances to chalk up two wins and two runner-up spots in six subsequent turf outings.
Those two are likely to hear the hoofbeats of several capable rivals in their vicinity, with Story Horse and Niarbyl Bay sure to be there or thereabouts if they run to form, while David Pipe’s new acquisition Rebel Angel looks an interesting prospect on her return to England after stringing some decent results together across the Channel (31171).
However, the buzz among Tipstrr’s each-way specialists, Model Man included, is that Charlie Johnston’s three-year-old Fox Flame is poised to build on the progress she has made during a busy first year of racing.

Three wins from 13 outings over the last seven months is a tidy return from this promising filly who was successful over this course and distance in April, and also landed back-to-back wins over a similar trip at Southwell and Lingfield during the late summer.
Her subsequent rising mark has seen her take on stronger 0-75 rivals on her two subsequent appearances, and although her performance seems to have dipped as a result, there is hope that she can bounce back on her return to the the scene of her maiden success.
For the first time since her career debut she will be piloted by Oliver Stammers, an underrated jockey who has landed five winners and eight frame finishes from his last 32 rides, and looks well-equipped to get a good run out of Fox Flame here.
