UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

PEACHEY CARNEHAN has been in fine fettle of late, having won here just before Christmas and backing up that effort by placing twice subsequently. The step back up to 7f poses no concerns and the nine-year-old gets the vote to add another victory to his CV. Eye Of The Water has been knocking on the door recently and another solid effort can be expected, while Desert Dream and Split Elevens complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Peachey Carnehan 2nd Eye Of The Water 3rd Desert Dream

SPRING DAY defied a slow start to make a winning debut at Chelmsford in September and the daughter of Bobby's Kitten can be expected to have improved plenty for that initial experience. The step up a furlong in trip appears likely to bring about further progression and she may prove too strong for the opposition. Prospering commands respect based on his all-weather efforts, finishing second on each occasion, and he enters calculations along with Saturnalia, who was runner-up at Lingfield on his racecourse bow last Friday.
Prediction : 1st Spring Day 2nd Prospering 3rd Saturnalia

STORMINGHULL wasn't disgraced when fifth over 5f at Newcastle earlier in the month and the step up to 7f, along with a first-time visor, could make the difference required. Tennessee Dream arrives having won a brace of classified events at this track and at Southwell, but she will need to improve back in handicap company, especially carrying a 6lb penalty. With that in mind, the main danger may come from Rowdown Roza, who has made the frame on her last couple of starts.
Prediction : 1st Storminghull 2nd Rowdown Roza 3rd Tennessee Dream

BEAUZON was able to capitalise on a falling handicap mark when successful at Chelmsford on his latest outing, and a subsequent 2lb rise might not be enough to stop him from following up. Phil McEntee saddles two noteworthy runners in Porfin and Alafdhal, who bids to record a fourth straight victory. Muscika drops in class and it would be folly to underestimate him.
Prediction : 1st Beauzon 2nd Alafdhal 3rd Muscika

OXYGEN THIEF shaped with significant promise on his return from a 253-day absence earlier this month, travelling well before fading into fourth late on. The Chelsea Banham-trained gelding remains open to further improvement having raced just five times to date, and he could go well on these terms. Stablemate Secret Stripper has the ability to feature, along with the dual course-winner Creek Harbour.
Prediction : 1st Oxygen Thief 2nd Secret Stripper 3rd Creek Harbour

INAAM was well backed ahead of his first run in a classified event but John Butler's charge had to settle for minor honours. However, he was returning from a thre-month absence on that occasion and could be tough to beat if taking a step forward. Jumira Bridge has been running to a consistent level in recent starts and he's capable of mounting a serious challenge, along with Big Time Maybe, whose last success came over C&D in August.
Prediction : 1st Inaam 2nd Jumira Bridge 3rd Big Time Maybe

Runner-up on his last three starts, SMART BOYO lost little in defeat over this trip at Southwell earlier this month and he merits the utmost respect in this contest. Jenny Ren has gone up 1lb following a good second at this track over 1m6f a couple of weeks ago and is feared most, while Henry The Fifth is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Smart Boyo 2nd Jenny Ren 3rd Henry The Fifth

Denied by a narrow margin over 1m5f on his most recent run at Chelmsford, it could pay to take a chance on the Tony Carroll-trained HOOVES LIKE JAGGER. His penultimate effort saw him finish well for third over 1m6f at this venue and he would be dangerous to dismiss off 2lb higher. Hashtagmetoo steps back up in trip following a creditable third at Lingfield earlier this month and is respected, along with the class-dropping Starfighter.
Prediction : 1st Hooves Like Jagger 2nd Hashtagmetoo 3rd Starfighter
