UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

NELLIE FRENCH was an eyecatcher when staying on from off the pace to grab third over C&D on Friday and, turned out again quickly, she can register a first victory since Newcastle in February. Not far behind her was Ellie Piper (fourth), who is likely to be thereabouts, while Aconcagua Mountain has a 7lb rise to overcome for a taking victory here last month but is a contender once more.
Prediction : 1st Nellie French 2nd Aconcagua Mountain 3rd Ellie Piper

PHERENIKOS is a half-brother to 2000 Guineas winner Coroebus and although he hasn't quite lived up to his breeding just yet, he has shown enough to suggest that he can break the maiden and this looks as good an opportunity as any. A promising third on debut over C&D last month, Self Aclaim is a very dangerous opponent, while similar comments may apply to Tiger Bay, who should relish the step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Pherenikos 2nd Self Aclaim 3rd Tiger Bay

This can go the way of BLUE HERO, who has performed with credit over C&D in recent outings and it could be that in a slightly weaker contest, the four-year-old may be able to regain the winning thread. Alice Kitty arrives with similar claims but is winless since June 2021, whereas Starfighter has tasted success here in the past and is now looking quite well handicapped.
Prediction : 1st Blue Hero 2nd Alice Kitty 3rd Starfighter

GOLDEN CHAIN may still be a maiden after five starts, but recent efforts suggest that she is improving and it could be that going back up in trip will help get her head in front. Percy Jones didn't show much on his recent stable debut but he is a major player based on the pick of his form. Talented bumper performer Estacas is another to consider on his first run for the David Bridgwater stable.
Prediction : 1st Golden Chain 2nd Percy Jones 3rd Estacas

COMPLIANT has the most scope and is taken to brush aside the inconvenience of a 4lb higher mark after a comfortable Newcastle triumph on her handicap bow. William Buick, who is flying high on the all-weather this winter, is likely to find another willing partner in this daughter of Pivotal. This is a quick reappearance for Finery, who posted a good third at Southwell last Tuesday, and she can go well. Cappoquin is also considered on debut for a new yard.
Prediction : 1st Compliant 2nd Finery 3rd Cappoquin

CARACRISTI edges the nomination after a string of near-misses and is fancied to finally get off the mark on the all-weather at the 10th time of asking. Chelsea Annie wasn't that far behind the selection here last week and also merits serious consideration, while Lhebayeb showed improvement at this circuit recently and can also be fancied to be on the premises. Young Winston is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Caracristi 2nd Chelsea Annie 3rd Lhebayeb

Unlike most of his rivals, VITESSE DU SON has held his form and the fact he makes a quick return after Friday's second over C&D is a solid clue towards his current well-being. Racing from the same mark, the five-year-old has a live chance on these terms, especially when taking into consideration that his last win on the all-weather was attained from this rating. Haseef may step forward in first-time blinkers, whereas Stranger Things should be sharper after last month's reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Vitesse Du Son 2nd Haseef 3rd Stranger Things
