UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

INCLEMENT WEATHER is worth siding with following good efforts to make the frame in each of her last three starts. The Alex Hales-trained mare is on a worakable mark and, with Poppy Scott being able to claim 7lb, a big run can be expected. The in-from Broughtons Flare is respected on his bid for a four-timer, while Ebury would be dangerous to underestimate.
Prediction : 1st Inclement Weather 2nd Broughtons Flare 3rd Ebury

The lightly-raced STELIOS improved for the step up to a mile at Newcastle 22 days ago and is the most appealing option, given that run was by far his best effort yet. The Angelus Belle finished a length-and-a-half behind the selection that day and may do better, as she was carrying a penalty on that occasion. Willow Baby debuts at a modest level and is another to note in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Stelios 2nd The Angelus Belle 3rd Willow Baby

GREEN MACHINE showed inexperience but still managed to finish a respectable second on his debut at Kempton just before Christmas. This slight step up in trip ought to suit the son of Free Eagle and another big run can be expected. The first-time blinkered Ramensky sets a reasonable standard on the official ratings and is respected accordingly, while Biscoff Joe is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Green Machine 2nd Ramensky 3rd Biscoff Joe

ALLIGATOR ALLEY arrives here on the back of a hat-trick and a 6lb raised mark, following a comfortable success at Southwell last month, looks unlikely to stop him. The reopposing Bedford Flyer can get closer to the selection on this occasion, having finished behind him on his last two starts, and should not be taken lightly. Dubai Station wears a first-time tongue-tie and completes the shortlist on his stable debut.
Prediction : 1st Alligator Alley 2nd Bedford Flyer 3rd Dubai Station

FOLLOW YOUR HEART arrives here following an easy success over C&D on his most recent outing and can follow up off a 6lb raised mark. He does lose Billy Loughnane's 7lb though, so Intervention should not be overlooked following a creditable fourth off this mark over 6f at this track on Tuesday. Buckshaw Village is another who warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Follow Your Heart 2nd Intervention 3rd Buckshaw Village

HOOVES LIKE JAGGER bids to retain his crown having landed the corresponding event from a 1lb higher mark last year, and recent form suggests that he ought to be more than capable of doing so. Crystal Guard has tasted success on two of his last three starts and the son of Lope De Vega demands the utmost respect, along with Hooflepuff, who remains on a competitive mark. Trusty Scout should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Hooves Like Jagger 2nd Crystal Guard 3rd Hooflepuff

Mcqueen and Hot Day have been running to a consistent level in recent starts and both are worthy of consideration, but the vote goes to CITY ESCAPE. Having won over C&D on her penultimate outing, she posted another creditable effort when a finishing a close-up fifth at the same venue 12 days later. Eased 1lb in the handicap for that effort, Mark Loughnane's charge could regain the winning thread, while Zumaaty is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st City Escape 2nd Mcqueen 3rd Hot Day
