UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

It is interesting to see Hugo Palmer keeping faith with Persepone, who hasn't been seen for 134 days and has had a wind operation since he was last on the track, while Herm raced with his choke out here last month when chasing a hat-trick and isn't one to give up on yet. The vote, instead, goes to FORESEE, who has recent form figures of 112 and should appreciate this step back up in distance under 3lb claimer Elisha Whittington now back on Tapeta.
Prediction : 1st Foresee 2nd Herm 3rd Persepone

NEVER A WORD is turned out under a penalty after scoring over 1m6f at Southwell last week but the step up in trip is in his favour and he's performed creditably on Tapeta in the past. Uncle Bernie has winning C&D form in the book and should remain competitive following a 3lb rise for his distance success at Lingfield last month. Call Me Madam was beaten by under a length over 2m at Newcastle last time and could similarly take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Never A Word 2nd Uncle Bernie 3rd Call Me Madam

There isn't much inspiring recent form on offer but ROCKESBURY does at least have match fitness in his favour, having finished fifth over 7f here on Monday. The step up in trip could spark improvement from David Loughnane's five-year-old, for whom the booking of Richard Kingscote appears notable. Orange Suit, Onebaba and Tiercel are fairly treated at the weights and have place possibilities.
Prediction : 1st Rockesbury 2nd Orange Suit 3rd Tiercel

PHUKET POWER got up narrowly to score by a head in a 7f maiden at Kempton last time and is expected to benefit from this step up in distance now moving back into the handicap ranks. A mark of 76 appears exploitable for Tom Dascombe's charge, who shades the vote ahead of Cranberry. The latter failed to justify favouritism in a novice contest at Kempton last time but could resume her progress now handicapping. Consistent C&D winner Locked N' Loaded cannot be left out of calculations either.
Prediction : 1st Phuket Power 2nd Cranberry 3rd Locked N Loaded

WALEYDD has displayed a solid level of form in two outings to date and shaped on his most recent run in a stronger contest at Newcastle as though the step up to 1m4f would play to his strengths. This appears a decent opportunity for Roger Varian's colt to shed his maiden tag before going on to bigger targets in the future. Pyramid Place disappointed when sent off favourite at Kempton early last month but he is another who could improve for going up in distance, while Marcela De Vega and Baltic Wolve are both likely better than showing thus far.
Prediction : 1st Waleydd 2nd Pyramid Place 3rd Marcela De Vega

Irish raider DASH D'OR wasn't beaten far over 5f at Dundalk last week and is well on the radar off the same mark stepping back up in trip. Archie Watson's Alicia Darcy ran much better last weekend than the bare result would suggest and she remains feasibly treated. Course-and-distance winner Klopp and Knockabout Queen, beaten just a neck over track and trip a week ago, are others to keep onside.
Prediction : 1st Dash DOr 2nd Knockabout Queen 3rd Alicia Darcy

KATHERINE PLACE has been in cracking form, winning two of her last four and finishing second on the other two occasions, and this C&D scorer looks like the one they all have to beat. Sing Bertie's latest effort at Chelmsford was encouraging and he is respected off the same rating, with dual track winner Storm Lightning and visored first-time Qaaraat others to note.
Prediction : 1st Katherine Place 2nd Sing Bertie 3rd Storm Lightning
