UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

SUMMERONSEVENHILLS relished the step up in distance when opening his account in emphatic style at Chelmsford last month and Richard Hughes' youngster rates as the one to beat here, despite having a 12lb hike to overcome. That reassessment of the selection gives hope to Goddess Of Fire, who has been in the very best of form recently and the course-and-distance winner now goes in search of a hat-trick under a double penalty. Island Storm, Urban Hero and Locked N' Loaded are others who arrive following their first victories and have to be taken seriously in a trappy affair.
Prediction : 1st Summeronsevenhills 2nd Goddess Of Fire 3rd Island Storm

A drop back to 7f could be the key to unlocking a first victory from QATAR QUEEN, who cost 400,000gns as a yearling and is a half-sister to the Group 1-winning Barney Roy. She hasn't disgraced herself in her three outings so far and there should be plenty more to come from James Farnshawe's daughter of Kodiac. Loretta was much improved when third at Newcastle last time and appears ready for a step up in trip, while Nice Fella rates as the pick of the newcomers on display representing Harry Dunlop.
Prediction : 1st Qatar Queen 2nd Loretta 3rd Nice Fella

ELZAAM'S DREAM was touched off by a neck over track and trip last time and is expected to mount another bold bid off this 2lb higher perch. The main danger may be Reasoned, who has landed the silver medal on her last two starts over C&D and wouldn't be winning out of turn. Sepahi pounced late in the day here last month and, from stall 10, she could be putting in her best work at the finish again.
Prediction : 1st Elzaams Dream 2nd Reasoned 3rd Sepahi

WITH CAUTION has taken a step forward on her last couple of starts and was narrowly denied when a nose second at Wolverhampton in October. She only went up 1lb for that effort and could have more to offer having been bought for 25,000 pounds at the Horses in Training Sale to join James Eustace. Big Les disappointed at Newcastle on his latest start but is better judged on his two victories prior to that run, while Kamra could improve from his first outing for Mick Appleby when second at Lingfield 10 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Whisper Aloud 2nd Big Les 3rd Kamra

CANFORD BAY was no match for the winner when second over C&D earlier in the month and the five-year-old could improve for the application of a first-time hood. Green Door went close at Lingfield on his most recent start and remains on the same mark, while Tathmeen has shown enough of late to suggest he is capable of being in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Canford Bay 2nd Green Door 3rd Tathmeen

Mansfield is often up there at this level but isn't easy to win with, while Brockey Rise is capable on a going day but was disappointing over C&D five days ago. Dandilion bounced back to form when second at Lingfield last month, but this can go the way of ROARING RORY. A little below-par last time, the six-year-old generally saves his best for here and could bounce back given that he should have a stronger pace to aim at today.
Prediction : 1st Roaring Rory 2nd Mansfield 3rd Brockey Rise

In an open race the marginal preference is for MURAAQEB, who has been running consistently well in his most recent starts and that includes a win off just 2lb lower in the ratings at Chelmsford in August. The penalised Born To Reason is an obvious threat having won here last week, while Sir Magnum and Tio Esteban are others who merit respect.
Prediction : 1st Muraaqeb 2nd Born To Reason 3rd Tio Esteban

ENMESHING returned to winning ways over 1m4f at this track on Saturday and a 5lb penalty is unlikely to stop him from taking this contest as well, as long as he has fully recovered from those exertions. Doctor Jazz won a seller here on Monday and he could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Butterfield and Cape Agulhas.
Prediction : 1st Enmeshing 2nd Doctor Jazz 3rd Butterfield
