UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Despite having to shoulder top-weight in this contest, it could pay to side with WIN WIN POWER, who kept on well to score by two and three-quarter lengths over a mile at Southwell earlier this month. He has to carry a 5lb penalty for that success, but that may not be enough to stop him following up here. Recent Southwell winner Brave Display steps back up in trip following a disappointing run over 7f there last time out and is feared, along with Odd Socks Havana.
Prediction : 1st Win Win Power 2nd Brave Display 3rd Odd Socks Havana

In not the strongest of contests, marginal preference is for DESERT MIRACLE, who kept on when finishing a decent third over 7f at this course last month. He is rated 2lb lower now and can have a big say in proceedings, but Seattle King has been steadily progressive of late and would be dangerous to take out of the equation. Kodebreaker finished behind the latter (third) when fifth on his most recent run but still warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Desert Miracle 2nd Seattle King 3rd Kodebreaker

KING ATHELSTAN made a pleasing switch from handicap company when landing a classified stakes contest over this trip at Southwell last time out and can make his presence felt again, despite carrying 4lb more today. However, the reopposing Cliffs Of Malta finished a length behind the selection off level weights that day and can get closer to him now 4lb better off with the winner, while Miss Sligo (third) should also be considered.
Prediction : 1st King Athelstan 2nd Cliffs Of Malta 3rd Miss Sligo

It looks noteworthy that Irish trainer Mark Fahey sends INCHBAE over for this contest and he is expected to improve upon a lacklustre effort on his stable debut at Dundalk last month. A mark of 55 looks manageable and he is preferred to the likes of comfortable Lingfield winner Abstract and Moon Over The Sea, who did it well on his penultimate start at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Inchbae 2nd Abstract 3rd Moon Over The Sea

Not seen since finishing down the field at Tipperary last May, OPEN MARKET is an intriguing recruit to the Karl Burke stable and going on her debut win at Cork, she could do damage across the pond. A maiden through nine starts, Cuban Grey deserves to get his head in front at some point but it may not be today, while Della looks the pick of the newcomers for a stable that can ready one.
Prediction : 1st Open Market 2nd Cuban Grey 3rd null

The veteran ASTROPHYSICS has quite the record around here, having won his last two attempts starts over C&D (both in February) and he looks to hold every chance of doing so once more. That may be at the main expense of One Hart, who should be suited by dropping back in trip, and Spanish Angel, a winner on his penultimate outing at Newcastle. Gustav Graves returns from a 192-day break, having scored when last seen at Leicester in September, while Araifjan appeals as a solid yardstick.
Prediction : 1st Astrophysics 2nd One Hart 3rd Gustav Graves

DREAMS DELIVERED might have a modest strike-rate, but he's been in much better form since joining the Michael Appleby team. The gelding finished a good second in a similar event at Kempton a week ago and a repeat of that performance might be enough to see him regain the winning thread. Won Love appeared to be stretched by 1m on his latest outing, but the gelded son of Frankel ought to fare better now back down in trip. Written Broadcast heads the remainder ahead of the consistent Fact Or Fable, form whom a wide berth tempers enthusiasm.
Prediction : 1st Dreams Delivered 2nd Won Love 3rd Written Broadcast

In a fairly open event, only a tentative vote can go to POETIC FORCE, who showed a willing attitude to repel the challenge of Million Thanks en route to success at Kempton nine days ago. Aidan Keeley's claim negates the 5lb rise Arcadian Nights received after winning at Lingfield last month and he's likely to mount another stern challenge, while Tiger Beetle is back down to his last winning mark and can't be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Poetic Force 2nd Arcadian Nights 3rd Tiger Beetle
