UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

With solid form thin on the ground, this could be a good opportunity for MUSTERION to gain a breakthrough success. John Butler's filly should appreciate the stiffer test compared to the 7f at Kempton last time and she may take some stopping. She's A Mirage returns to this sphere after finishing a respectable fourth in classified stakes company at Ffos Las a fortnight ago. The daughter of Kodiac is feared most, ahead of Louaizeh.
Prediction : 1st Musterion 2nd Shes A Mirage 3rd Louaizeh

There were plenty of positives to be taken from BIBENDUM's debut third over 5f at Yarmouth last month and the Showcasing colt may find enough improvement going up in distance to gain a breakthrough success. Zipster should have learned plenty when finishing fifth on debut at Chelmsford and could emerge as the chief threat to the selection, ahead of Stanley Spencer.
Prediction : 1st Bibendum 2nd Zipster 3rd Stanley Spencer

SNAZZY JAZZY has failed to make a significant impact in competitive handicaps of late, but the eight-year-old rates as the one to beat now pitched into claiming company. Shallow Hal has been operating on the turf recently but shouldn't be underestimated given his previous performances on the all-weather at the turn of the year. Karl Burke's charge shouldn't be far away, with Granny B making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Snazzy Jazzy 2nd Shallow Hal 3rd Granny B

GISELLES IZZY has thrived on being kept busy and she may be able to extend her run of good form by posting another personal best. The Iain Jardine-trained filly was a comfortable winner over 6f on her penultimate start and only went down by a neck when attempting to follow up off this mark last time. The return to 7f creates hope for the likes of Lily In The Jungle and Carlton And Co if stamina becomes an issue for the selection.
Prediction : 1st Giselles Izzy 2nd Lily In The Jungle 3rd Carlton And Co

Irish raider Asgard's Captain improved when dead-heating over 1m at Ripon in June and, were it not for a wide draw, he would have a live chance of following up off just 3lb higher. Nevertheless, GLORY CALL has fared much better with his allotted starting position and looks worth chancing on his first attempt over this trip. The Ollie Pears-trained gelding showed tenacity when winning over 6f here on his penultimate start and a sterner test can prompt further progression. Crown Bridges is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Glory Call 2nd Asgards Captain 3rd Crown Bridges

Stoney Lane is shortlisted after winning over C&D 10 days ago and, while he is respected in a race of this nature, he has struggled with consistency and has never won back-to-back races before now. The same applies to He's Our Star, who is respected but might find this tougher than the similar event he landed at Brighton recently. With that in mind, BERNIE THE BEAR gets the nod given he has improved since fitted with headgear and has posted several respectable efforts over this trip recently.
Prediction : 1st Bernie The Bear 2nd Stoney Lane 3rd Hes Our Star
