UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

This is well within compass for VICTORIANO and, having won off 7lb higher at his best, the 2lb rise for his recent Newcastle success almost looks meagre in comparison. Tradesman is feared under a 5lb penalty for a surprise win at Chelmsford eight days ago but his record over 2m leaves something to be desired. Therefore, Mellow Mood could emerge as a bigger threat given her scope to improve over the trip.
Prediction : 1st Victoriano 2nd Mellow Mood 3rd Tradesman

BILLIEGEE was arguably given too much to do when she was a fast-finishing second on debut at Kempton last month, but, with a step up in trip looking likely to suit, she rates as a solid contender in her bid to get off the mark at the second time of asking. Dancing Eyes was a respectable fourth in that race and can feasibly give the selection the most to think about, while Inbetweenus is notable given her dam was a winning miler on the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Billiegee 2nd Dancing Eyes 3rd Inbetweenus

MARIAMNE, who was thought good enough to be pitched at the Queen Mary three starts back, appeals strongly returning at the scene of her only previous success and, having gone close in a tongue-tie applied at Kempton last month, she looks worth another chance with the application retained. Kandy House also posted a better effort last time and commands respect, as does nursery debutant Hedge Fund, whose debut on synthetics displayed promise given his dam was placed on the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Mariamne 2nd Kandy House 3rd Hedge Fund

Liberty Mountain posted one of her better efforts this season when runner-up on the turf at Lingfield last month and must enter calculations now reverting to all-weather. However, DESTINED has slightly more scope for improvement after a fourth-placed finish on her first try over 7f at Haydock in mid-August and shades the vote. Five-time course winner Plumette rarely runs a bad race at this venue and is another to note on the return to Tapeta.
Prediction : 1st Destined 2nd Liberty Mountain 3rd Plumette

GLORY CALL found further improvement when regaining the winning thread on his 7f bow here last month and the Cotai Glory gelding may have more to offer over this distance, so a 3lb rise looks more than fair. The in-form Harry The Haggler expected to pose the the biggest threat after knocking on the door of late and Stuart Williams' three-year-old shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip. Cloud Queen was third at Chelmsford last month and another 1lb drop in the weights will help Ed Dunlop's filly.
Prediction : 1st Glory Call 2nd Harry The Haggler 3rd Cloud Queen

DALBY FOREST was well held in second over 5f at Southwell last time but he has been given a golden chance to go one better by the handicapper. David Simcock's runner has been dropped 3lb for that two-and-a-half-length defeat and he looks primed to mount another bold bid today. C&D winner Munificent is feared most having been raised just 1lb for being beaten by a three-quarters of a length in second over 5f at Yarmouth, while Lancashire Life can also hit the frame.
Prediction : 1st Dalby Forest 2nd Munificent 3rd Lancashire Life

GHOSTLY arrives here seeking a hat-trick and he is fancied to add to his winning sequence today. Stella Barclay's charge has been raised a further 2lb for a nose success over 1m4f at Thirsk but that may not be enough to stop the in-form five-year-old as he continues on an upward trajectory. The consistent Hot Team is likely to run his race again, while Jenny Ren also deserves closer inspection.
Prediction : 1st Ghostly 2nd Hot Team 3rd Jenny Ren
