Augustus looks Wolverhampton winner in waiting

James Fanshawe's Augustus Gloop was a ready winner on his third start and can go in again in the Bet £10 Get £40 With BetMGM Handicap at Wolverhampton on Tuesday.

The three-year-old made steady progress in novice events, with an encouraging fifth on his Kempton debut followed by a nose defeat at Lingfield and then an emphatic victory at Newcastle last time.

The runner-up and hot favourite that day, Major Neigh Sayer, has since opened his account at Newmarket and competed at Listed level in France, albeit coming up short in testing conditions.

With all that in mind, Augustus Gloop should be very competitive as he enters the handicap sphere with a starting rating of 82.

George Boughey's youngster has finished in the first three in six of his seven races to date, but has so far failed to get his head in front.

He has filled the runner-up spot on his last three starts in handicaps, earning him a mark of 77, and if he can run up to that rating at Dunstall Park he should really be winning what looks a weak contest.

At Southwell, it is Paul Midgley's Glory Fighter who can prevail in the Midnight A Next Generation Betting App Handicap, run over the minimum trip of 1000m.

A recent third-placed finish over the course and distance represented something of a return to form for a 10-year-old who has won 10 times on turf but is still awaiting his first ever win on the all-weather.

After a 2025 turf campaign that featured two wins, the eight-year-old returned to the all-weather to finish third at Newcastle in October and can build on that now he has been dropped 1lb in the handicap.
