UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

GUSSY MAC (sixth) finished just in front of Rooster (seventh) when making an encouraging debut over 5f at Newmarket and, better drawn than his reopposing rival in stall three, he could confirm that form en route to a first career win. Aussie Stormer shaped with plenty of promise on his first public appearance at Lingfield and should be winning races before too long, while Plum Run appears to be improving and cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Gussy Mac 2nd Rooster 3rd Aussie Stormer

There was lots to like about SNASH's debut sixth at Newmarket, where he overcame being unbalanced and racing green to run a blinder. With that experience now behind him and tackling a more conventional track, he could prove difficult to beat. Holwah, Funky Bear and Archibar are all interesting newcomers from powerful yard's who have their share of juvenile winners and the betting market is likely to prove a good guide to their chances.
Prediction : 1st Snash 2nd Holwah 3rd Funky Bear

Live In The Moment won nicely over 5f here latest and warrants plenty of respect in his bid to follow up, but other last-start scorer TWICE AS LIKELY shades the verdict in receipt of 7lb. She wasn't winning out of turn over 5f at Lingfield and could improve further for stepping back up in distance. Nibras Shadow and Lakeview are other names to note.
Prediction : 1st Twice As Likely 2nd Live In The Moment 3rd Nibras Shadow

HEAVENS OPEN displayed promise in some useful novice races as a juvenile and the daughter of Pivotal has to be given the utmost respect today, despite the 321-day layoff. Rubia Bella was only narrowly denied on her debut at Kempton last May and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others to note are Don't Tell Claire, Silk Lace and Courtesy.
Prediction : 1st Heavens Open 2nd Rubia Bella 3rd Dont Tell Claire

Plenty of these arrive here with claims but none more so than IT MUST BE FAITH, who made an encouraging return to action when third at Kempton 18 days ago. The veteran arguably shows his best form at this track and he is only 2lb above his last winning mark. Qaaraat is not the most prolific of winners but he is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature. One One Seven and Jeans Maite complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st It Must Be Faith 2nd Qaaraat 3rd One One Seven

MR STRUTTER always looked to be doing enough when scoring over the extended mile here off 4lb lower last time and is expected to follow up over this shorter trip. The consistent Seaforth, who was third behind the selection third day and also a C&D winner, is the one expected to put up most resistance. Big runs from Dubai Elegance and Bell Heather would also come as no surprise.
Prediction : 1st Mr Strutter 2nd Seaforth 3rd Dubai Elegance

TANQEEB was beaten by less than a length over 1m at Lingfield when last sighted in March and is expected to improve for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces this afternoon as he bids to gain compensation. Purgatory could be sharper for his comeback spin at Kempton nine days ago and has viable place claims, as do the eased-in-grade Earth And Sky, consistent Golden Force and Makambe, who has been raised 3lb for scoring at Southwell in March.
Prediction : 1st Tanqeeb 2nd Earth And Sky 3rd Makambe

RED SECRET bolted up over 2m at Kempton last week and rates the one to beat now turned out under a penalty. Ed Dunlop's charge is a C&D winner and remains open to further improvement over staying distances. Elhafei has been raised 4lb for scoring over 1m5f at Lingfield last time and could play a supporting role, likewise Gold Arch, who debuts for a stable among the winners recently.
Prediction : 1st Red Secret 2nd Gold Arch 3rd Elhafei
