17:30 Wolverhampton Tips — Tuesday 21st April 2026

The 17:30 at Wolverhampton promises a fascinating contest on the flat, and our attention is firmly drawn to Ivan Furtado’s improving sort, Crown Inn.

This four-year-old gelding has been knocking loudly on the door in recent starts, backed up by its latest form figures of 897-822. Crucially, those back-to-back runner-up finishes demonstrate a horse in rude health and rapidly heading in the right direction. It's a well-established trend on the All-Weather that horses showing such consistent progression often find their winning turn very quickly, particularly when competing off a competitive mark of 53. The EVS price reflects market confidence, and we concur wholeheartedly.

With Kieran O'Neill back in the plate – a jockey who knows the horse well and handles the Wolverhampton circuit adeptly – all signs point to Crown Inn breaking its duck today. Trainer Ivan Furtado often gets his horses spot on at this venue, and we're fully on board for a winning start to the evening. For those seeking an each-way alternative, Corduroy holds solid credentials and could well be in the frame after some consistent efforts.
