UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Victors Dream has weakened late on over further on two of his three starts and he could be of interest over this trip on his handicap debut off a mark of 60, with the eye-catching booking of Neil Callan to ride. However, with a lack of obvious pace in the race, UNLIMITED DATA may be able to slip the field from stall one. A C&D winner in December, an added 3lb may not stop him repeating the feat here. Agostino could surprise a few on his second start after being gelded.
Prediction : 1st Unlimited Data 2nd Victors Dream 3rd Agostino

Animist has to be of interest despite finishing last of three on his first start since October 2021, but he will need to improve if he wants to get to the front where it matters most. RED WALLS was beaten less than two lengths off 2lb higher at Chelmsford on his last start when possibly sent to the front too soon, but a first-time visor could help his focus and that might see him win for the sixth time. Apache Star and You're Cool are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Red Walls 2nd Animist 3rd Apache Star

Owl Island made a winning debut at Chelmsford 12 days ago, when receiving 7lb from Profit Given (second). An 8lb swing in the weights could see Ismail Mohammed's filly close the gap today, but EDEN STORM is taken to come out on top. The son of Starspangledbanner was a comfortable winner over C&D last month, despite showing clear signs of inexperience, and he could double up with improvement likely. Island Luck represents the powerful Qatar Racing juggernaut and is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of his debut.
Prediction : 1st Eden Storm 2nd Profit Given 3rd Owl Island

FLAGMAN sprang a surprise when winning at odds of 28/1 at Kempton earlier this month, but the former Goldolphin-owned son of Kingman failed to back up at Chepstow 13 days later. However, he did beat a subsequent winner two starts ago and, now back on an artificial surface, he could return to form. Mudlahhim finished a good third over C&D last time and he merits respect from an unchanged mark, while Written Broadcast heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Flagman 2nd Mudlahhim 3rd Written Broadcast

Dhariye made it third-time lucky when winning at Southwell in January and an opening mark of 76 doesn't look beyond him on today's handicap debut. It would be no surprise were the Sir Michael Stoute-trained Born Ruler to thrive in handicaps this year and the son of Kingman is another who merits respect here, but the value may lay with QUANTUM LIGHT. Ralph Beckett's filly failed to kick on having shaped with significant promise on her debut last July, but a step up in trip might prove the key to her and she may provide her in-form yard with yet more success.
Prediction : 1st Quantum Light 2nd Dhariye 3rd Born Ruler

Moondial runs off just 2lb higher than her success on Kempton's Polytrack surface last September and can go well back on Tapeta, while H Key Lails, who went close over 7f at Wetherby last week, is another of interest having broken his maiden over C&D in March. However, the vote goes to RED FORT, who arrives on the back of his best effort to date and, with his stamina slightly more proven, he looks a big player off the same mark today.
Prediction : 1st Red Fort 2nd Moondial 3rd H Key Lails

PHILOS has done little wrong in defeat lately and, having shown tenacity during a luckless run at Beverley (short of room early and struck into), a similarly determined effort could result in him gaining compensation for that near-miss. Bailar Contigo rates the main danger having shown improvement here last time, although the step up in trip is a bit of a concern. Optik looks best of the rest in a modest handicap.
Prediction : 1st Philos 2nd Bailar Contigo 3rd Optik
