UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

CICELY kept on strongly to reward her supporters over C&D and created the impression that a 5lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent her from following up. The fitting of cheekpieces certainly wasn't a hindrance that day and with the headgear retained, there could be more to come. City Escape could get closer to the selection than she did in that race, providing she doesn't miss a beat at the start. Pillars Of Earth is another to note on debut for a new yard.
Prediction : 1st Cicely 2nd City Escape 3rd Pillars Of Earth

Bravura is a half-brother to dual Group 1 winner Coronet, as well as Irish Derby and St Leger runner-up Midas Touch, and a rise in trip could help him improve on his Lingfield second. Al Alaali occupied the same position over C&D, but SUPER MO sets the standard. David Simcock's colt got closest to subsequent Criterium de Saint-Cloud hero Dubai Mile at Kempton when last seen in August, and that piece of form is very hard to ignore at this level.
Prediction : 1st Super Mo 2nd Bravura 3rd Al Alaali

Broughtons Flare returns to handicap company after winning a classified stakes over C&D last week, but he may be worth taking on now shouldering a 4lb penalty. NICK VEDDER caught the eye when staying on from the rear to finish second over 7f at Kempton earlier in the month and, with this extra trip likely to suit, compensation could be on the cards. Hot Day hasn't been disgraced of late in 0-55 handicaps and should remain competitive on this slight ease in class.
Prediction : 1st Nick Vedder 2nd Broughtons Flare 3rd Hot Day

Fast Style is respected under a 5lb penalty after getting up to win on his stable debut at Newcastle last week and is open to more improvement for the Mick Appleby yard. Preference, however, is for C&D winner CALONNE, who has arguably looked better than ever since returning from a break in December and may regain the winning thread with promising apprentice Billy Loughnane now on board. Giorgio Vasari has to be commended for his consistency and is likely to be on the premises too.
Prediction : 1st Calonne 2nd Fast Style 3rd Giorgio Vasari

Momaer is unexposed and makes her handicap bow following a determined win in novice territory at Lingfield earlier this month, but THE NAIL GUNNER took a big step forward when upped in trip for his latest outing over this C&D. He remains rated just 1lb above his last winning mark, also at this course over 6f, and gets the nod. Politics has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for his Lingfield triumph but is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Nail Gunner 2nd Momaer 3rd Politics

Denied by a narrow margin on her latest outing over 7f at Kempton, KENSINGTON AGENT has to be fancied off only a 1lb raised mark and she is expected to break her duck on the all-weather, despite a drop in trip. Big Impact recorded a creditable fourth over 5f at Lingfield earlier this month and is feared off a 2lb lower figure, while May Remain completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kensington Agent 2nd Big Impact 3rd May Remain
