UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Those at the top of the handicap may be the ones to focus on after arriving in good form. There should be races to be won with Present Moment, who raced extremely wide at Lingfield 13 days ago and was subsequently collared on the line. HOLOCENE failed to justify favouritism when last seen finishing second at Nottingham in August, but the winner went on to score again and she gets the verdict with cheekpieces now fitted. Strangerontheshore rates best of the remainder after a string of respectable efforts in defeat.
Prediction : 1st Holocene 2nd Present Moment 3rd Strangerontheshore

SILK BIRD improved from her first start at Thirsk in August with a fine second at Beverley 22 days ago. The winner of that contest has franked the form with a good effort in a conditions race since and Jedd O'Keeffe's filly rates as the one to beat on that evidence. The Andrew Balding-trained Havanazam has a similar profile to the selection and could prove to be the main danger, with improvement a distinct possibility from both Artisand and Lordship after promising efforts on their respective debuts.
Prediction : 1st Silk Bird 2nd Havanazam 3rd Artisand

Al Dasim finished second on nursery debut at Haydock and he is respected with the potential for improvement on this the colt's second start for trainer George Boughey. However, he may prove vulnerable under a penalty, especially with a rival of the calibre of WOOLHAMPTON. She receives 12lb from that rival and Rod Millman's charge gets the vote after posting several creditable efforts, including when placed in a Listed race at Newbury. The lightly-raced Pure Angel rates best of the remainder now dropped in distance.
Prediction : 1st Woolhampton 2nd Al Dasim 3rd Pure Angel

LORY caught the eye when third on her first outing after wind surgery at Thirsk last month and the return to 6f on handicap debut might see Julie Camacho's filly step forward on what she has achieved in the UK. Gidwa didn't receive a clear run on his most recent outing at Lingfield and the son of Ribchester, who had placed on his three starts prior, is capable of returning to form, while The Nail Gunner and Porfin appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lory 2nd Gidwa 3rd The Nail Gunner

COUNTRY PYLE has gone close on her last couple of starts, finishing second at both Lingfield and Kempton over 2m, and the drop back in trip could make the difference required to get back to winning ways. Night Sparkle shed the maiden tag at Haydock last month and she might have more to offer following a 4lb rise. Pretending and Buxted Reel are others who boast solid credentials.
Prediction : 1st Country Pyle 2nd Night Sparkle 3rd Pretending

SHIBUYA SONG finished second on her first attempt over 2m at Ffos Las last time and the manner in which she finished her race off suggests the filly is capable of further progression. Lady Percival appears to be down to a fair mark based on her recent third at Haydock, while the return to this track is likely to see Kitten's Dream in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Shibuya Song 2nd Lady Percival 3rd Kittens Dream
