UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

It's been a long time between drinks but it could be worth siding with BAD ATTITUDE. The gelding shaped as if he was coming to hand when finishing fourth over C&D last month and, given that he's set to race off 14lb lower than his last winning mark, Christine Dunnett's gelding is an appealing option for a race of this nature. Sicario has performed with credit since joining his current yard and also merits serious consideration. All About Alice completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bad Attitude 2nd Sicario 3rd All About Alice

THE BIG BOARD has done little wrong in defeat lately and is worth persevering with at this level. The Richard Hannon-trained filly is significantly eased in grade, which goes some way to compensate for her lack of racing experience on a synthetic surface, so she is fancied to make the most of a glaringly good opportunity at the weights. Pure Angel split a pair of useful individuals when she finished third over C&D last month and is noted along with the unexposed Erosion Risk.
Prediction : 1st The Big Board 2nd Pure Angel 3rd Erosion Risk

Both Lionella and Dragonball Prince need a betting check on their respective debuts in a handicap, while Sweet Fortune and My Honey B have each managed to win a race before now and need to be respected accordingly. However, it can pay to side with VENETIAN, who has shown versatility regarding ground preference and he could be hard to beat if he takes the switch to Tapeta in his stride.
Prediction : 1st Venetian 2nd Lionella 3rd Dragonball Prince

IRREGULAR WARFARE bumped into subsequent Horris Hill Stakes winner Knight when finishing second at Yarmouth on his debut, and the son of Saxon Warrior should take all of the beating with further improvement likely. Ben Dikduk has performed to a similar level on both of his starts and is entitled to be in the shake-up along with Back See Daa, who shaped with promise at Ascot on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Irregular Warfare 2nd Ben Dikduk 3rd Back See Daa

Well supported ahead of his debut last month, backers of TAWAFAG left empty handed as the son of Starspangledbanner failed to land a blow. However, that experience ought to stand him in good stead ahead of this assignment and he's berthed nicely in stall four. Red Hat Eagle kept on well from off the pace at Lingfield on his debut, finishing third, and he's seriously considered. Ferensby is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Tawafag 2nd Red Hat Eagle 3rd Ferensby

Unsung Hero is sure to be popular here in pursuit of the hat-trick, but he's now 9lb higher so it might be worth taking a chance on the handicap debutant BARE NECESSITY. Clive Cox's filly hasn't been seen since slightly disappointing at Southwell in January, but, prior to that, she was a comfortable winner of a novice contest here over 6f, so she could be capable of making a winning return. Visibility has been in good form lately and is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Bare Necessity 2nd Unsung Hero 3rd Visibility

Although she's been well behind the winner on each occasion, Andrew Balding's filly ROSE LIGHT has probably achieved the most in her three starts to date and this looks the most winnable race she's contested. Mountain Queen has run in some good races and she should do better in time, so it wouldn't be a huge surprise if Tom Dascombe's filly took a step forward on what she's shown so far. Ehteyat could fare best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Rose Light 2nd Mountain Queen 3rd Ehteyat

LUCKY SAN JORE has looked a horse well ahead of his mark in each of his two C&D victories lately and he's still extremely unexposed, so he's fancied to make light work of a further 5lb rise for the in-form Marco Botti yard. Francesi has been running well in defeat lately, so he's likely to go close once again, while Gatecrasher Girl looks interesting with Danny Tudhope back on board.
Prediction : 1st Lucky San Jore 2nd Francesi 3rd Gatecrasher Girl

ALLEMANDE is making her handicap debut, with her opening mark looking fair on the balance of form. The Ralph Beckett charge has shaped as if this extra distance could unlock some improvement and she gets the vote. Yagan has been running with credit in defeat since winning over this distance in August and he should be on the premises once more, while World Without Love is likely to remain competitive after a 1lb rise for finishing second at Kempton 12 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Allemande 2nd Yagan 3rd World Without Love
