UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

MINHAAJ is on an attractive mark in comparison to his peak form and hinted that he's capable of adding to his tally with a near miss at Newcastle last month. Giving weight away to all bar one of his rivals is far from insurmountable and he is taken to deliver the goods. Breezyandbright has looked sharper for racing in cheekpieces and is also considered along with the reliable Twentysharesofgrey.
Prediction : 1st Minhaaj 2nd Breezyandbright 3rd Twentysharesofgrey

The weaker of the two divisions of this handicap can go to MONSIEUR FANTAISIE, who has held his form since returning from a break and racing for a new yard. Reverting to the all-weather shouldn't be too much of an issue for the gelding and, from a handy draw, he could be hard to peg back. Louis Treize is respected off 3lb lower than his C&D win in March, while Peachey Carnehan is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Monsieur Fantaisie 2nd Louis Treize 3rd Peachey Carnehan

Recent form suggests another big run can be expected from Pockley despite a 5lb rise for winning at Newcastle a fortnight ago, while Kim Wexler and Bethersden Boy can also go well. However, NEVER DARK, who is 10lb lower than his last winning mark, and 7lb better off with Pockley than last time out, looks a more attractive option and is worth chancing on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Never Dark 2nd Pockley 3rd Kim Wexler

A slight drop in class can only help the top-weighted FAIRMAC, who, having been narrowly denied at Chelmsford, is fancied to make amends and go one better. Percy Jones finished first past the post at Brighton in August, beating the selection, but he was subsequently demoted having caused interference. He reappears in a first-time hood and ought to go close once again. Recent C&D scorers Peripeteia and Lady Percival can also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Fairmac 2nd Percy Jones 3rd Peripeteia

BACCARAT BABY sets the standard having filled the runner-up spot on both of her career starts, and the daughter of Gleneagles ought to take all of the beating if running to a similar level. Wiltshire was perhaps unsuited by rain-softened ground when well supported ahead of his debut and he remains of interest despite a wide draw, while Calypso shaped with promise at Southwell last month and he merits a place on the shortlist too.
Prediction : 1st Baccarat Baby 2nd Wiltshire 3rd Calypso

MOHATU made no impression when well supported ahead of his debut at Newcastle, but William Haggas' charge ought to have learned plenty for that experience and he could score at the second time of asking. Overactive is an interesting debutant for the Ralph Beckett team and he can go well along with Good Karma, who could be suited by the switch to a synthetic surface.
Prediction : 1st Mohatu 2nd Overactive 3rd Good Karma

COURT OF SESSION gained his third success on the all-weather when winning at Chelmsford earlier in the month and a 5lb rise is unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Fellow last-time-out winner Excel Power could prove the chief threat on this drop in class if overcoming his wide draw. Spacer has been shaping like this extra distance could help and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Court Of Session 2nd Excel Power 3rd Spacer

With questions marks surrounding the majority of the field, INEXPLICABLE rates the most solid proposition. He returns to the C&D of his last success and is now effectively 1lb lower than that win with Mark Winn now in the plate claiming a valuable 5lb. Vitesse Du Son has been running well of late in similar contests and is likely to be in the mix, while Waltzing Intime warrants closer inspection in the market on her first start for the Kevin Philippart De Foy stable.
Prediction : 1st Inexplicable 2nd Vitesse Du Son 3rd Waltzing Intime

International Law has more on his plate after receiving a 5lb rise in the ratings for his win at Southwell last month, but is unlikely to be far away. Fellow C&D winner JENNY REN makes greater appeal after finishing a close third here 22 days ago, and compensation could await in this contest off the same mark. My Brother Jack has been running well across both codes and is likely to give them plenty to think about.
Prediction : 1st Jenny Ren 2nd International Law 3rd My Brother Jack
