Wolverhampton Placepot picks: Richard Birch's suggestions for the £50,000 guaranteed pool

The £50,000 guaranteed pool is on offer for the meeting at Wolverhampton, where Poetic Force can get Placepot players off to a flier in leg one (4.30).

Tony Carroll’s five-time course winner is arguably better at a mile nowadays, but seems sure to be strong at the finish and will be hard to keep out of the first three.

Plumette, another who has five Wolverhampton wins, didn’t enjoy the rub of the green at a crucial time when third to Overnight Oats last time out. The shorter trip will be in her favour in leg two (5.00) and, granted more luck in running, she can add to her tally.

A step up in distance should suit Southwell runner-up Patrol in leg three (5.30). Chelmsford second No Release is also worthy of inclusion.

Waiting For Love, who shaped with plenty of promise on her Chelmsford debut last month when 11-8 favourite, rates banker material in leg four (6.00), with the William Haggas-trained Carbine Harvester, equipped with a first-time tongue tie, and Dubai Magic the selections in leg five (6.30).

Dance Time and Swinging London appeal in leg six (7.00).
