UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

AL SALT's defeat of Tilsit at Newcastle was given a strong boost at the weekend, when that rival sauntered to victory back at the Gosforth Park venue, and William Haggas' colt is unlikely to have any issue in giving 7lb and upwards to all of his rivals. Machios can benefit from a gelding operation after showing some promise when fourth at Salisbury last September, while Prize Fighting, a brother to the yard's former inmate and subsequent Group 3 dirt winner Salute The Soldier, appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Al Salt 2nd Machios 3rd Prize Fighting

FANDABIDOZI was bought for 20,000 euros at the Goffs Sportsmans sale last October and is a brother to the stable's German Group 3 heroine Dessertforlife. As always, Mark Johnston's juveniles have made a bright start and he could be yet another to win on debut. Master Of Brazil ran well on his debut to finish second at Lingfield and is respected with that experience under his belt, while Desert Vision is expected to leave behind her debut effort at Newcastle with the step up in trip likely to suit.
Prediction : 1st Fandabidozi 2nd Master Of Brazil 3rd Desert Vision

C&D winner STREET POET knuckled down well when winning by a neck over the extended 1m1f here in March and is expected to remain competitive following a 3lb rise. Harbour Vision should be putting his best work in the closing stages and could improve on his last effort at Chelmsford now eased in grade. Others to bear in mind are recent Newcastle scorer Bombastic and Gavi Di Gavi, who went close over this trip at Kempton last month.
Prediction : 1st Street Poet 2nd Harbour Vision 3rd Bombastic

PULL HARDER CON picked up minor money over this trip at Chelmsford recently and could improve on that effort off this 2lb lower mark. Marina Grove, who debuts for Julie Camacho, is worth a market check on her handicap bow, while C&D winner Rocketeer is respected now eased in grade and fitted with first-time blinkers. Conker is another handicap debutant to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Pull Harder Con 2nd Marina Grove 3rd Rocketeer

SPUROFTHEMOMENT got off the mark in impressive fashion when winning by six lengths at Lingfield a week ago and a 6lb penalty for that victory may not be enough to stop her from taking this contest as well. Kath's Lustre has proven to be a consistent performer on the all-weather this year and she should be in the mix once again, while Klopp rates the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spurofthemoment 2nd Kaths Lustre 3rd Klopp

ALBA DEL SOLE has an obvious chance of defying her 5lb penalty for winning at Leicester on Tuesday in this moderate contest. Simba Samba lines up off 1lb lower than when placed at Yarmouth last month and he is likely to be in the shake-up, while One One Seven, a dual course winner who ran well off 2lb higher here recently, completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Alba Del Sole 2nd Simba Samba 3rd One One Seven

Everything points to a big run from PRECIOUS PLUM, who is a triple C&D winner and was impressive when scoring on her latest outing at Southwell in March. She's 4lb higher now, but red-hot jockey Hollie Doyle has been booked and a bold bid is expected. Shepherd's Purse also likes it here and can improve on his comeback spin at Beverley last month, while Solar Park is respected with a course record of two wins from three starts.
Prediction : 1st Precious Plum 2nd Shepherds Purse 3rd Solar Park

THAI POWER left his comeback run well behind when scoring readily over this trip at Kempton 10 days ago and, with further improvement on the cards, he is fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty. Galata Bridge showed that he has improved from two to three years, and for wind surgery, when runner-up at Newbury last month and tonight's extra couple of furlongs should suit him. Recent Lingfield second Lismore and the returning El Jefe are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Thai Power 2nd Galata Bridge 3rd Lismore
