UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

DEBYDINKS let down favourite-backers at Thirsk, but he attracted market support thanks to an encouraging second at Newcastle and is selected on the basis that he seems much happier on an artificial surface. Holly Blackmore was ahead of him in fourth in that Thirsk contest so has to be considered dangerous, while Ma Famille flopped at Bath but is another who should be seen in a better light back on the all-weather. Throw the returning Alainn Tu into the mix too.
Prediction : 1st Debydinks 2nd Holly Blackmore 3rd Ma Famille

Gold As Glass sprung a bit of a surprise when just getting the better of a filly with previous experience on her Newmarket debut but, as a result, she must concede weight to some promising opponents. Sail On Silverbird offered encouragement when third behind a smart prospect of Charlie Appleby's at Kempton, with Maid In London just behind, and the Godolphin handler could land this race too courtesy of TRANQUIL ROSE, who was collared in the dying strides over a furlong further here. Newcomer Mischievous Madame has to be considered closely as well.
Prediction : 1st Tranquil Rose 2nd Sail On Silverbird 3rd Mischievous Madame

There was a good word for DUBAI DAWN prior to his introduction over C&D and he didn't disappoint, travelling strongly before kicking clear to make a winning start. The runner-up, beaten a length, is now rated 72 and James Tate's colt was only in receipt of 2lb so he should be able to see of the 73-rated Maxzeno, who lacks the benefit of a recent run and has to give the selection 5lb. Kracking is bred for speed and it will be interesting to see what the market makes of him.
Prediction : 1st Dubai Dawn 2nd Maxzeno 3rd Kracking

KENSINGTON AGENT finished a fine third in a 17-runner affair at Bath last Friday and, off the same mark, looks to have been found a good opportunity on this return to the all-weather. Come On Girl was last of fourth when the selection struck at Chelmsford in February, but the six-year-old has since performed with credit and seems the biggest threat. Penguin Island rounded off 2022 with a couple of Chepstow seconds and also warrants consideration if ready to roll.
Prediction : 1st Kensington Agent 2nd Come On Girl 3rd Penguin Island

MARMARA STAR was a ready winner on her handicap bow over C&D in January and George Boughey's filly is likely to take some stopping off only 6lb higher. Peaceful Night was beaten less than a length into the runner-up berth at Nottingham earlier in the month and she too should have more to offer. Cariad may appreciate the return to this stiffer test and could easily put a Lingfield disappointment behind her now eased slightly in class.
Prediction : 1st Marmara Star 2nd Peaceful Night 3rd Cariad

A return to an artificial surface can help WELL PREPARED bounce back from a disappointing run at Bath. He competes off the same mark as when last successful in handicap company, and notched up a classified stakes brace when striking here and at Chelmsford earlier in the year. Captain Pugwash was only narrowly denied at Lingfield and can make his presence felt on his return to handicapping, while Crazy Spin looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Well Prepared 2nd Captain Pugwash 3rd Crazy Spin

CARLOS FELIX made an excellent return to action when keeping on to reward those who took a short price about him over this trip at Southwell, and a 5lb raised mark looks unlikely to hold him back here. He does have to shoulder top weight, though, so Bristol Hill can give him plenty to think about back up in trip following a fair second over 1m3f at the Nottinghamshire venue. Scarborough Castle adds further spice to the mix.
Prediction : 1st Carlos Felix 2nd Bristol Hill 3rd Scarborough Castle
