UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

CROSSBEAU wasn't disgraced on his return to action when fifth at Beverley last month and the extra couple of furlongs on this occasion appear likely to benefit the son of Dunaden. Steel Helmet scored over C&D on his penultimate start and the nine-year-old is capable of being in the mix, while King Charles and The Resdev Way are others worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Crossbeau 2nd Steel Helmet 3rd King Charles

ZENO has performed with some promise on a couple of occasions, including when fourth here last month, and the use of cheekpieces now making his handicap bow may see him step forward on what he has achieved to date. All Dunn clearly wasn't at his best at Lingfield last time and is worth a chance to return to form. Zebadaay and Struck Gold complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Zeno 2nd All Dunn 3rd Zebadaay

UNLIMITED DATA finished second at Windsor a fortnight ago when attempting to make it a hat-trick of victories, having scored twice over C&D prior, and, now back on the all-weather, the son of Tasleet may prove a tough nut to crack. Cuban Grey went close on his most recent effort at Lingfield and is respected, while South Dakota Sioux and Sugar Hill Babe both have solid credentials.
Prediction : 1st Unlimited Data 2nd Cuban Grey 3rd South Dakota Sioux

There was a good word for KNICKS prior to his introduction at Ripon but after showing good speed, he faded into third as a short-priced favourite. With that run under his belt, though, he should be able to see his race out better and can improve past Mutasawi, who was a couple of lengths in front of him in second. Fifty Grand Slater has kept decent company so far, while Matloob is best judged on his debut fourth at Doncaster rather than his subsequent Leicester failure.
Prediction : 1st Knicks 2nd Mutasawi 3rd Fifty Grand Slater

MARS MAGIC didn't taste competitive action until the September of his three-year-old season, but he immediately made up for lost time when scoring over C&D. He can't be all that straightforward because he has been off since, and has moved from the Charltons to James Ferguson in that time, but he looks quite a bright prospect. Poseidon Prince also has an absence to overcome, but was bought from Godolphin after a second at Yarmouth. There were excuses for Nigiri's Chelmsford no-show and she can't be written off just yet.
Prediction : 1st Mars Magic 2nd Poseidon Prince 3rd Nigiri

GAME SET is a full-brother to a useful handicapper in Razeyna and he could be even better judging by his successful Doncaster debut. Owen Burrows' colt showed a pleasing attitude to fend off a subsequent scorer and he can take the next step up the ladder. Verona Star also defends an unblemished record, although his winning introduction came at Newcastle back in October 2021 and he has to concede weight all round. Sparkling Spirit is interesting on her first appearance for Adrian Keatley.
Prediction : 1st Game Set 2nd Verona Star 3rd Sparkling Spirit

LOCKDOWN LASS ran well off a mark of 47 last time at Chepstow, despite failing to justify favouritism, and that was a very solid display in the context of this race. A live danger comes in the shape of last-time-out victor Magic Gem, who has an absence to overcome but was in good form at the start of last year. Spartakos tries first-time cheekpieces, which makes him of interest too.
Prediction : 1st Lockdown Lass 2nd Magic Gem 3rd Spartakos

Hooflepuff was victorious in April at Wolverhampton when accounting for his rivals by a length in this grade, and he should go well again off only 2lb higher. However, he could be playing second fiddle to KENILWORTH KING, who filled the runner-up spot last time and was only touched off by half a length. The four-year-old competes off the same mark which gives him every chance of going one better. Barney's Angel could improve for a first-time hood and needs to be considered as well.
Prediction : 1st Kenilworth King 2nd Hooflepuff 3rd Barneys Angel
