UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

DOTTED SWISS did best of those coming from the rear when fourth at Lingfield over 5f four days ago and could claim a first success for the in-form Archie Watson team now up in trip. The four-year-old has recorded some solid efforts in defeat in recent weeks and deserves to win one of these. Recent Kempton winner Secret Potion has the plum draw in stall one, while Cappananty Con goes well here and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Dotted Swiss 2nd Secret Potion 3rd Cappananty Con

Ustath has had a few chances to score and failed again here 30 days ago, while Gifted Zebedee has had a wind operation and joined a new stable since last in action at Ripon almost 12 months ago. FINCH HATTON showed some smart form in three starts last season for Robert Cowell and, having been gelded over the winter, is fancied to take a step forward for a yard which often thrives with three-year-old sprinters.
Prediction : 1st Finch Hatton 2nd Ustath 3rd Gifted Zebedee

INTERNATIONAL LAW arrives here having won two of his last three starts, both of which came at this venue, and he appears to be the one to beat. Kadrizzi is not the force of old (was once rated 104) but he is capable of making the frame in a race of this nature. Others to consider are Global Art and Casina Di Notte.
Prediction : 1st International Law 2nd Kadrizzi 3rd Global Art

HERMOCRATES has taken a step forward since going handicapping with a victory on his latest outing over C&D in January. He returns after a 110-day absence and the son of Farhh has the scope for further improvement in this sphere. Colony Queen was a disappointing favourite on her latest start at Newcastle but will be better suited by the drop in distance, while the consistent Dancing Jo is best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hermocrates 2nd Colony Queen 3rd Dancing Jo

CRYSTAL KING got off the mark on his final start of last season and the Frankel four-year-old, who is a half-brother to Crystal Ocean and Hillstar, is worth sticking with back up to 12 furlongs. Sleeping Lion has won nicely on the all-weather in the past and has some smart form to his name, while Dr Richard Kimble reverts to the Flat after a spell hurdling off a 5lb higher mark than when last successful on the level.
Prediction : 1st Crystal King 2nd Sleeping Lion 3rd Dr Richard Kimble

HARRY CALLAHAN struck over 1m3f at Kempton two runs ago before going down by a nose off this mark over 1m6f here last time. The drop to this trip is expected to suit and he wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to gain compensation. Contingency Fee arrives on a hat-trick and could appreciate the return to 1m4f after scoring narrowly over 1m2f at Brighton last time. Any money for Irish raider Jazzy J would also be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Harry Callahan 2nd Contingency Fee 3rd Jazzy J

One Cool Daddy improved between runs last year and is worth a market check ahead of his seasonal return, though preference is for EMIRATES KNIGHT, who represents an in-form stable, ran well when second over track and trip in November and receives plenty of weight from Dean Ivory's colt on these terms. Dubai Philosopher and Muraad are entitled to build on promising debut spins, while any money for Sir Michael Stoute's newcomer Desert Son would be worth heeding.
Prediction : 1st Emirates Knight 2nd One Cool Daddy 3rd Dubai Philosopher
