UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

ALKARAAMA cost $600,000 as a foal and shaped like one to follow when third on debut at Doncaster last month for Sir Michael Stoute. The Newmarket handler has a healthy record at this track, and it would be a surprise if his charge wasn't very competitive on Tapeta debut. Ice Cave only beat one home on his first day at school at Chelmsford 26 days ago and will surely prove better than that given time, while Alabama Dreaming continues to improve and shouldn't be far away.
Prediction : 1st Alkaraama 2nd Ice Cave 3rd Alabama Dreaming

HARD SOLUTION has dropped to a tempting mark for his in-form handler and first-time blinkers make him an attractive proposition for this modest contest. The three-year-old has a handy draw in stall one, and can be handed a final opportunity to strike in a race that might not take too much winning. Bluebell Time was short of room at a crucial stage when fourth at Bath and can have that effort upgraded as a result, while Tizwotitiz and Miss Liberty Belle are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Hard Solution 2nd Bluebell Time 3rd Tizwotitiz

Steelriver arrives here in magnificent form and could be prominent in the closing stages despite his advancing years, while Lucky Clover had some good form in the book when last seen and warrants a betting check following a 581-day absence. Richard Hannon's TOMILY was running in conditions races on artificial surfaces last autumn, and although he isn't the force of old, he is still expected to prove too hot to handle for this standard of opposition.
Prediction : 1st Tomily 2nd Steelriver 3rd Lucky Clover

WILLKOMMEN (second) and Hen (third) were unlucky to bump into a nicely treated animal over course and distance three weeks ago, but that line of form looks worth following, and perhaps the pair can both go one better this time. The selection deserves an opening after some close efforts of late and is preferred to the likes of Highway Robbery and handicap debutant Watch And Learn. Global Freedom needs a market check off what could be a fair opening mark.
Prediction : 1st Willkommen 2nd Hen 3rd Watch And Learn

Course-and-distance winner FIELDS OF ATHENRY was disappointing up in trip on his handicap debut at Windsor last month, but could bounce back now returned to a distance he has never finished out of the top three over and off a 2lb lower mark. Havana Ooh Na Na was a comfortable winner over seven furlongs here last month and has a chance of repeating that performance stepping up in trip off an 8lb higher rating, while Mick Easterby's Thirsk winner Joe The Beau is also of real interest.
Prediction : 1st Fields Of Athenry 2nd Havana Ooh Na Na 3rd Joe The Beau

ANTICO LADY has been getting closer and closer to opening her account of late, picking up a silver medal at Southwell earlier this month. She can go one better now off a 1lb lower mark having enjoyed this distance on that latest outing. Jailbreak could have more milage up his sleeve in the handicap ranks and could relish the step up in trip here, while the first-time visored Power Of Life and Geography Teacher, returning to the synthetics, are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Antico Lady 2nd Jailbreak 3rd Geography Teacher

Little Miss Daisy got on the scoresheet over course and distance last time and has to be respected following a 5lb rise. However, that reassessment opens the door for the second on that occasion, ROCKESBURY, to turn the tables and strike off an unchanged mark. Street Poet was beaten less than a length over a mile here earlier this month and could go one better down in trip off a 1lb lower figure, while all-weather regular Sooqaan is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Rockesbury 2nd Street Poet 3rd Little Miss Daisy
