17:25 Wolverhampton Tips — Monday 6th April 2026

For the 17:25 Wolverhampton, our confident selection is **Mount Ruapehu** at EVS. Iain Jardine’s gelding is in truly compelling form, arriving here fresh off a gritty victory last time out, indicating he's well-handicapped and ready to string together back-to-back successes on the all-weather.

Consistency is a major strength; Mount Ruapehu has placed in an impressive three of its last five runs, showcasing remarkable reliability. Crucially, he stands out as the **top-rated horse in the field with an Official Rating of 60**, affording him a significant class edge over his rivals. Jockey Jack Nicholls retains the ride, a partnership that has clearly clicked, giving us further confidence.

With recent winning form, proven consistency, and a superior rating, Mount Ruapehu ticks all the major boxes and looks exceptionally well-placed to deliver another win. He is our clear banker for the race.

For an each-way flutter, consider **Forever Noah**. While perhaps not a win candidate, he’s shown enough glimpses of ability to grab a minor placing at a decent price.
