Wolverhampton Placepot tips: Graeme Rodway's selections for a £50,000 guaranteed pool

The Tote’s £50,000 Placepot guarantee is at Wolverhampton on Monday and the opening 5f apprentice handicap (4.25) is a difficult starter. Give Phoenix Beach and Aces Wild the vote.

The 5f novice (5.00) comes up next and it’s a trappy race. However, there will be three places on offer provided all eight line up and Binadham might have a class edge. Bank on him.

The 6f handicap (5.30) is an open race and Dapperling is fairly treated on her best form. She likes the track and goes in alongside Mesaafi, who was a good third over a furlong further here last month.

Evocative Spark has run well at this track before and could spring a surprise in the 7f handicap (6.00). It’s also worth including A Pint Of Bear, who ran well here last week.

Addosh returns to the Flat after a spell hurdling in the 2m½f handicap (6.30) and is a banker provided eight run, while Port Noir is the pick in division one of the 1m½f handicap (7.00).
