UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Distant Applause needs a market check on his return from 303 days off the track, likewise Krazy Paving, who has won two of his last three and returns from a 214-day absence. The race-fit MAID MILLIE looks the safe bet, though, as the decision to turn her out quickly after finishing a good fourth here on Monday suggests she's in good form. She definitely has a race of this nature within her grasp off 55.
Prediction : 1st Maid Millie 2nd Krazy Paving 3rd Distant Applause

INTELDREAM gets a handy weight-for-age allowance in this handicap and makes plenty of appeal as the unexposed quantity. He broke his duck here when stepped up to 1m4f in September and on the basis that he needed every yard of the trip that day, it could be that this 1m6f distance unlocks another gear. Soloist debuts for a new stable and is a player on the form of her latest outing in this code, while Clap Your Hands can also be competitive.
Prediction : 1st Inteldream 2nd Soloist 3rd Clap Your Hands

THREE LITTLE BIRDS might not need to improve much on her latest second over C&D to land the spoils. It could be significant that Ben Curtis takes over in the saddle and she's been left on the same mark, so everything points to a big performance. Qaaraat regained the winning thread at Newcastle over this distance and is respected, likewise dual track-and-trip winner Awsaaf and Kodiac Express.
Prediction : 1st Three Little Birds 2nd Qaaraat 3rd Awsaaf

KHALOOSY caught the eye when finishing a clear second on his racecourse debut over 7f at Newcastle last month and his pedigree suggests that he should be suited by this step up in trip. If he does improve this evening then the son of Dubawi will be very hard to beat. King Of Arms also ran well on his debut and should not be underestimated, while Dollar Bid and Summit Reach are the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Khaloosy 2nd King Of Arms 3rd Dollar Bid

Danny Ocean has to be respected having won well at Nottingham last month but an 8lb rise in the ratings will make life tougher for him. With that in mind, preference is for TRIPLE SPEAR, who has improved with every start to date and an opening mark of 67 appears to be workable. Others to consider are Clegane and Nirodha.
Prediction : 1st Triple Spear 2nd Danny Ocean 3rd Clegane

GUANDI almost got off the mark on his first run back from a five-month break and gelding operation when second here over further last week, and he could go one better for Tom Dascombe. The three-year-old drops in trip and class now, and a first-time visor is also expected to aid his cause. Indomeneo finished second behind a stablemate in selling company last month, while Tamleek is better than what he showed at Catterick 25 days ago and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Guandi 2nd Indomeneo 3rd Tamleek

MISTRESS NELLIE, who produced a string of good efforts earlier in the summer, was beaten less than a length over 1m4f at Kempton earlier this month. William Stone's filly now drops in trip in a first-time tongue-tie looking to go one better. Golden Deal has been knocking on the door on her most recent outings and has to be respected. Course-and-distance winners Born To Reason and Cat Royale are regulars on the synthetics and should also be considered.
Prediction : 1st Mistress Nellie 2nd Golden Deal 3rd Born To Reason

Chookie Dunedin battled his way to success over course and distance last month and Keith Dalgleish's four-year-old could make another bold bid off a 2lb higher mark. De Little Engine is another to taste success over track and trip in the past and was a winner at Brighton when last seen in September, while Al Suil Eile can't be ruled out following his win in a Leicester seller. However, preference is for JAVELIN, who was only beaten a neck over this trip at Kempton last time and the course winner can gain compensation off just a 1lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Javelin 2nd Chookie Dunedin 3rd De Little Engine
