Marco Botti only has one runner at this Wolverhampton meeting and that is ORPENINDEED who has won at this track before, whilst Fol Liam has won over course and distance and if returning to the best of his ability then Southandwest could also play a part. The pick was not impressive at Newmarket latest but runs off a similar mark to when winning here last October. Although yet to get on the score sheet this year he stands a very real chance of beating the competition here. Southandwest has shown very little lately and is opposed after finishing ten lengths behind the winner at Chepstow recently. A better effort may come here with a furlong less to travel compared to last time. The veteran in the field, Landucci is a possible contender and was a decent enough third when last seen. With a similar effort here he could be prepared to land another place position. Fol Liam won here earlier this year but finished plum last at Warwick earlier this month and we cannot find justification for siding with him on that most recent effort. A tricky race to call but one where we side with Orpenindeed.
