UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

PRINCE ALI has been unlucky to fill the runner-up spot the last twice, including over C&D on his latest outing, for which he was raised 2lb. The five-year-old looks to have the best form on offer and should be tough to beat. The main danger might be Mudlahhim, who has run well over 7f on each of his last three outings and could get in contention off the same rating as when runner-up at Southwell. Of the remainder, Oh Herberts Reign makes the most appeal after his fifth at Newmarket.
Prediction : 1st Prince Ali 2nd Mudlahhim 3rd Oh Herberts Reign

A DUBLIN LAD finished third in what has turned out to be a very hot maiden at Sandown, with the runner-up putting himself into the Leger picture by landing the Melrose, while two other subsequent winners have come out of the race. The son of Ulysses may only need to find normal progression to strike. Fly Zone is the obvious danger after his third at Bath and he sets the standard with a rating of 80. Classic Times is of some interest as she tries a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st A Dublin Lad 2nd Fly Zone 3rd Classic Times

BEENHAM (sixth) had Make It Easy a place behind when failing to justify favouritism at Glorious Goodwood and she is top-rated in this field with a figure of 82. The daughter of Havana Grey has the hood removed after wearing it when second over C&D last week and she is fancied to go one better. Sunday's Brighton victor Lieutenant Rascal could continue to improve after his gelding operation and it would be no surprise to see him right in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Beenham 2nd Make It Easy 3rd Lieutenant Rascal

PRIMETIME ran his best race to date when beaten a neck at Ffos Las recently and holds leading claims off only 2lb higher now reverting to Tapeta. Mimi Kakushi was collared in the dying strides in a Redcar seller and could emerge as the chief threat on her handicap bow. Kaaress has only been nudged up 1lb in the ratings for her triumph over slightly further at this venue last week and she completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Primetime 2nd Mimi Kakushi 3rd Kaaress

Bang On The Bell capitalised on a lower turf mark (62) at Nottingham last month, but he returns to this surface off an 11lb higher rating so will need to improve to complete a double. With that in mind, it could pay side with CINQUE VERDE, who finished a good second over C&D last week. Spanish Angel and Ecclesiastical are also worth a second look now switched to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Cinque Verde 2nd Bang On The Bell 3rd Spanish Angel

Plenty of in-form runners line up, with the tentative selection being UNDER CURFEW. Tony Carroll's charge was a very good second over 6f at Chepstow last time and he is on a dangerous mark if transferring his turf form to the all-weather. Recent Lingfield winner Coast appears primed to offer another bold bid but she may come unstuck trying to defy a 3lb rise in the ratings, while similar comments apply to surprise Haydock scorer Loco Lobo.
Prediction : 1st Under Curfew 2nd Coast 3rd Loco Lobo

GREEK GIANT hasn't been out of the first two in each of his last four starts and he appears likely to go close once again. Ed Dunlop's runner has been raised 1lb for his second at Ripon and that may not be enough to halt his progression. Eloped might be the biggest danger after her second over 1m3f at Southwell, although she still has to prove she truly stays this trip. Ivy Avenue heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Greek Giant 2nd Eloped 3rd Ivy Avenue
