UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

NEVER SAID NOTHING wasn't inconvenienced by the drop in trip when second over 1m at Southwell last month and should go well on his return to Tapeta. Jonathan Portman's charge has found just one too good on three of his last four starts and wouldn't be winning out of turn. Goddess Of Fire outran odds of 25-1 when third over C&D only 10 days ago, while Halfacrown caught the eye when second at Chelmsford last month.
Prediction : 1st Never Said Nothing 2nd Goddess Of Fire 3rd Halfacrown

Millicent Fawcett has returned a beaten favourite the last twice and arrives with a point to prove for John Gosden, while Regal Lilly merits a market check ahead of her first start for David Simcock after posting two respectable efforts for Mark Johnston. Love Explodes doesn't look straightforward, so this can go to the once-raced WAR PRINCESS. Third at 33-1 on debut at Windsor in June, Alan King's three-year-old is related to an all-weather winner over this trip.
Prediction : 1st War Princess 2nd Regal Lilly 3rd Millicent Fawcett

Requiems Dream has won her last two on turf for Mark Johnston and warrants consideration on her all-weather debut after a 146-day break, while Colouring has bumped into some respected types recently and could feasibly find a race of this nature before the end of winter. However, AUGUSTUS CAESAR landed a gamble under Adam Kirby on his handicap bow at Lingfield in September, drawing clear with the second, and may well be good enough to defy a 7lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Augustus Caesar 2nd Requiems Dream 3rd Colouring

Irish raider ALOYSIUS LILIUS remains relatively unexposed on the all-weather and lost little in defeat when second at Lingfield 10 days ago. The three-year-old has only gone up 2lb for that performance and it appears notable that Shane Foley is making the trip over for the ride. Bahuta Acha was mugged close home here three days ago and is respected now turned out swiftly off the same mark, while the consistent Steelriver is also expected to be involved in the finish.
Prediction : 1st Aloysius Lilius 2nd Bahuta Acha 3rd Steelriver

DISRUPTOR almost caused a shock when beaten a neck in a first-time visor at Kempton last week and David Evans' three-year-old could be the answer if repeating that effort, off the same mark, in the retained headgear. Gerard O'Leary's raiding pair Newgirlintown and Feisty Katerina demand plenty of respect, especially the former, who was sent off favourite at Lingfield last time. Vipin and Is It Off are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Disruptor 2nd Newgirlintown 3rd Vipin

LOVING GLANCE was a comfortable winner of a C&D novice contest last month and makes plenty of appeal now moving back into handicap company. Hat-trick seeker Mohareb arrives in the very best of form moving back up to 7f, while Boy In The Bar is considered following his Chelmsford win over this trip last month. Irish raider Fastar could be dangerously weighted at the foot of the handicap, while Richard Hannon's recent Lingfield scorer Typhoon Ten has to be respected under a 6lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Loving Glance 2nd Typhoon Ten 3rd Mohareb

C&D winner GREY MIST is unbeaten in five outings in both codes since joining Karen McLintock and could prove difficult to beat if fully tuned up for his first outing in 214 days. Noble Behest followed up his course second over 1m6f with a victory at Chelmsford latest and merits respect, while Battle Of Marathon could similarly enjoy the step up to two miles and is one to note as he returns on the same mark.
Prediction : 1st Grey Mist 2nd Noble Behest 3rd Battle Of Marathon

Sir Hector crossed the line in first before subsequently losing the race in the stewards' room here last week and could feasibly gain compensation off the same mark, but preference is for QAARAAT, who wasn't far away from landing back-to-back victories when second off this figure over C&D last time. Blackcurrent was denied by only a neck at Southwell and commands respect, while Milton Bradley's recent track-and-trip second Englishman also makes plenty of appeal off an unchanged rating.
Prediction : 1st Qaaraat 2nd Sir Hector 3rd Englishman
