UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Rocking Reg showed improvement when second over course and distance last time and has the useful assistance of Jim Crowley in the saddle, while Triple Spear has shown some handy form at this track of late, including when beaten by less than a length earlier this week. However, it could be worth siding with James Tate's DRESS CIRCLE, who hails from a decent family and the Showcasing filly has the pedigree to make a winning start.
Prediction : 1st Dress Circle 2nd Rocking Reg 3rd Triple Spear

Badayel was only beaten a head over track and trip when in the hands of Owen Burrows 378 days ago and now makes his first outing for Ivan Furtado looking to pick up from where he left off. Roger Varian's Brenbar could find improvement dropping back in trip, while Motawaafeq brings some useful French form to the table on his first outing for Mick Appleby. However, it may be worth chancing Charles Hills' newcomer MONYA, who cost 425,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to a German 1000 Guineas winner.
Prediction : 1st Monya 2nd Motawaafeq 3rd Badayel

HUMAN NATURE returned to winning ways over this trip at Chelmsford last time out and even a 5lb rise in the ratings for that success may not be enough to stop him from taking this contest as well. Ginger Fox is another recent winner who has to be considered in this contest, while the shortlist is completed by Merricourt, Zafaranah and Reckless Endeavour.
Prediction : 1st Human Nature 2nd Ginger Fox 3rd Zafaranah

PHOENIX STAR returned to winning ways over this trip at Kempton last month and a 2lb rise is unlikely to prevent him from mounting another bold bid. Brockey Rise is proven under these conditions and should be thereabouts if building on a solid effort in classified stakes company here last time. The pick of the remainder may be recent course second Elzaam's Dream, who drops back from 7f.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Star 2nd Brockey Rise 3rd Elzaams Dream

Total Commitment progressed nicely for Roger Charlton and is interesting now debuting for new connections, though with the benefit of a recent run to his name, SOLDIER'S MINUTE shades the vote. He showed up well when third in Listed company at Lingfield and looks a danger to all now back in a handicap. Triple course winner Desert Doctor and hat-trick seeking Reeves are others for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Soldiers Minute 2nd Total Commitment 3rd Reeves

MRS HOO caught the eye when fourth here last month at 20-1 and is fancied to take another step forward under Sean Davis. The three-year-old is fancied to prove better than a mark of 62 given time, and appeals more than Sunshineandbubbles, who won on stable debut for David Evans after a break last week. Kybosh and Fair Power can also make their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Hoo 2nd Sunshineandbubbles 3rd Kybosh

Fancy Footings failed to justify favouritism at Southwell last time but remains in good form, while Home Before Dusk could find this task beyond him with the burden top weight. Storm Ahead has yet to run a bad race here, but hat-trick seeking SEA FOX is fancied to continue on the upwards curve. Raised 3lb for the most recent of his wins, he is brave at the finish and gets on well with Clifford Lee.
Prediction : 1st Sea Fox 2nd Storm Ahead 3rd Fancy Footings

CHENG GONG battled back to finish third at Chelmsford last month when the race threatened to completely get away from him and better is expected this time from Tom Clover's charge. First-time blinkers can help the three-year-old, who has already shown that he has plenty of ability. Ember's Glow struck over C&D 11 days ago and has only been raised 1lb, while Enmeshing, third here latest, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Cheng Gong 2nd Embers Glow 3rd Enmeshing
