Wolverhampton preview: Lolly has a Fab chance

David Metcalf | November 30, 2015

Fab Lolly can take advantage of a drop in class to score and overdue success in the 7f handicap on today’s card at Wolverhampton (13.55).

The James Bethell trained mare is on a long losing run, having not scored since landing back-to-back contests at Kempton and Lingfield in February 2014.

However, the five-year-old has posted some solid efforts to make the frame which read very well in the context of this contest.

Feel Fab and make a lot of Lolly

They include a fine 1 3/4 length third to Don’t Be over course and distance back in February in a class 3 affair off a mark of 78.

The winner is an ultra progressive sort who was completing a five-timer and has gone on to score twice since to be rated 99.

That gives the form a rock solid look, and Fab Lolly is now able to race off 4lb lower.

It makes the daughter of Rock Of Gibraltar look dangerously well-treated now dropped down into class 5 company, and the booking of Adam Kirby to do the steering suggests connections mean business.

Karens can Star for punters

In the 1m nursery (14.30), Karens Star is a potential improver on her handicap debut and can go well at a big price.
