Newsboy reckons champion jockey Oisin Murphy will come good on a first-time ride at Wolverhampton in the 7.30, and he also believes a Tom Ellis-trained chaser can defy a 10lb penalty at Southwell (2.42)\"Wolverhampton<\/p>\n

WAVE ROCK<\/strong> and Ois\u00edn Murphy should prove a force to be reckoned with in the Supporting Mental Health Awareness Week Handicap (7.30) at Wolverhampton this evening.<\/p>\n

Johnny Butler\u2019s daughter of Fascinating Rock enjoyed a red-letter day with first career success in a course-and-distance handicap in mid-February.<\/p>\n

Wave Rock didn\u2019t reproduce that form over a mile and a quarter at Newcastle next time but was back to form over an additional two furlongs at Dunstall Park last time out, coming home a two-length second to Beaune.<\/p>\n

That effort needs marking up \u2013 Wave Rock and 7lb claimer Donagh Murphy came from the back to split rivals who were ridden more prominently \u2013 and coming back in distance today shouldn\u2019t do any harm.<\/p>\n

Murphy is on board for the first time here and, from an unchanged mark, Wave Rock, who carries the colours of the late Walter Swinburn\u2019s mother Doreen, is primed to go well.<\/p>\n

At Southwell, HUCKLEBERRY STING<\/strong> should follow up an impressive debut over fences at Bangor-on-Dee last month by beating six opponents for the Dog Friendly Raceday Tues 2nd June Handicap Chase (2.42).<\/p>\n

The Tom Ellis-trained seven-year-old travelled strongly en route to a five-length beating of Peckforton Hills and a 10lb rise in the weights may not be enough to stop Jack Andrews\u2019 partner from going in again.<\/p>\n
