UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

UNCLE DICK has won three of his last four starts and is a solid candidate to expand on the profitable run. A previous course winner, switching to synthetics holds no fears and with Jack Nicholls taking over from Georgina Dobie in the saddle, and able to claim 5lb, he runs off a highly competitive mark. Previous C&D winner Marmara Star is feared most, with Strawberry Jack and Dark Company also considered.
Prediction : 1st Uncle Dick 2nd Marmara Star 3rd Strawberry Jack

PRINCE ALI has held his form and fully deserved last month's course success in an apprentice handicap. Zoe Lewis being back in the saddle more than offsets the 3lb higher mark and, assuming stepping back up in trip doesn't raise any issues, further success is likely. Luna Magic is another with a live chance based on her peak efforts, while the hat-tick seeking City Escape is a previous C&D winner who cannot be ignored on these terms.
Prediction : 1st Prince Ali 2nd Luna Magic 3rd City Escape

EDGE OF BLUE impressed with his attitude when he made a winning debut over C&D last month and looks progressive enough to cope with a penalty at this early stage of his career. A half-brother to French Group 3 winner Devant, he can use this as a stepping stone towards better things. All Is Fair is open to improvement now he has been gelded, while Firing Squad could also be a different proposition with a visor now tried.
Prediction : 1st Edge Of Blue 2nd All Is Fair 3rd Firing Squad

CERVARO DELLA SALA showed plenty of promise on her debut at Kempton when going down fighting, and with normal improvement expected, she can go one better with William Buick taking over in the saddle. Similar comments apply to Imola, who also ran well at Kempton, behind a winner who has gone in again since. Emu War and Tiger Tulip are entitled to be thereabouts, while Keep My Secret looks the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Cervaro Della Sala 2nd Imola 3rd Emu War

MELLOW MOOD has been a model of consistency this season and recent efforts here and at Lingfield suggest that a maiden victory may be just around the corner. Today may be that day with Shariq Mohd taking off a valuable 7lb, and she is narrowly preferred to unexposed handicap debutant King Of The Pride and Peripeteia, a C&D winner who has dropped down to a very handy mark.
Prediction : 1st Mellow Mood 2nd Sexy Rexy 3rd Peripeteia

GENESIUS returned from a short break to run an excellent race when second at Newcastle last time out, and this looks like an ideal opportunity to gain a fifth career victory. That may be at the main expense of the relatively consistent Fulfilled and Study The Stars, who is looking to make it three wins in his last four starts.
Prediction : 1st Genesius 2nd Study The Stars 3rd Fulfilled

TALLULAH MYLA capitalised on a declining mark when landing the spoils over C&D last time out and won with enough in hand to suggest that she can overcome a 4lb rise in the ratings. Cluedo is another to consider on the pick of her efforts and Henry Candy's filly merits respect now dropped into class 5 company. Track-and-trip winner The Defiant may also have a say now returned to this venue.
Prediction : 1st Tallulah Myla 2nd Cluedo 3rd The Defiant

With solid recent form thin on the ground, this looks a suitable opportunity for BERNIE THE BEAR to record a second success in his last three appearances. The Elzaam gelding arrives in good heart and is hard to oppose. Fayasel finished a respectable fourth at Chelmsford on Thursday and shouldn't be far away with a similar performance. Another Dimension is a potential improver with first-time blinkers applied and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bernie The Bear 2nd Fayasel 3rd Another Dimension

MUTANAASEQ has been rolling back the years on turf of late and although the eight-year-old will need to put a below-par effort at Thirsk behind him, he makes plenty of appeal on his return to the all-weather off a lower mark. Liberty Breeze has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in recent appearances and the mare should be in the mix once more, with similar sentiments applicable for Major Gatsby.
Prediction : 1st Mutanaaseq 2nd Liberty Breeze 3rd Major Gatsby
