Victory is on the cards for Bond at Wolverhamp­ton

RACING: Drop in class gives William Haggas’ inmate every chance

- The FerreT

VICTORY BOND is set for a successful return to action in the Betway Conditions Stakes at Wolverhamp­ton.

With a total prize fund of £19,000 up for grabs, a small but select field of six are set to go to post. Victory Bond is the top-rated on 107.

William Haggas’ inmate mixed it with high-class performers on the grass last summer, most notably finishing fourth in the Group Two York Stakes in July.

He proved just as effective on the allweather towards the end of last year, winning a decent prize at Chelmsford before bumping into the useful Master The World in the Listed Churchill Stakes at Lingfield.

This conditions event represents a drop in class for Victory Bond on his first start since November and he can make the most of the opportunit­y.

National Hunt action also comes from Hereford, where COMRADE CONRAD can open his account in the myracing.com For Free Bets And Tips Juvenile Maiden Hurdle.

He failed to strike in six starts on the level for Roger Charlton and let down his supporters when beaten into fourth as an odds-on favourite on his hurdling bow at Fontwell last month.

However, that effort was certainly not without promise as he got the fifth obstacle all wrong and nearly fell before recovering his composure to be beaten 35 lengths.
