UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

A relatively low draw and the return to further might prove crucial to the chances of TYKE, who left it late to get up over 6f at Southwell last month. The son of Bobby's Kitten, who is now 2-3 on an artificial surface, remains open to further improvement after just six career starts and a subsequent 4lb rise could underestimate him. Surprise Picture hit the woodwork over C&D three weeks ago and is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Abbey's Dream.
Prediction : 1st Tyke 2nd Surprise Picture 3rd Abbeys Dream

Having been narrowly denied at Lingfield on her racecourse debut, QUEEN'S MUSIC didn't appear to be in love with the undulations at Epsom last month, where she hung left when weakening. This should be more suitable, though, and Jack Channon's charge is fancied to strike at the third time of asking. Muhaarar colt Dashing Darcey looks an interesting prospect on his first start and is worth monitoring in the betting, while Keep My Secret is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Queens Music 2nd Dashing Darcey 3rd Keep My Secret

Not the strongest of contests, in which preference is for CHEESE THE ONE. Stella Barclay's filly has improved since being fitted with blinkers, winning over C&D in August before posting two creditable efforts thereafter. The talented Harry Davies is aboard for the first time and she would not need much more to come out on top. Outreach, Reversion and Hannah's Return are the dangers.
Prediction : 1st Cheese The One 2nd Outreach 3rd Reversion

STONEY LANE won over C&D in August and he arrives here just 2lb higher in the ratings despite filling second place on his most recent outing at Newcastle. The eight-year-old gets the vote as a result, although Intoxicata has not been disgraced on her last couple of starts and is an obvious threat. Others to note are Flavius Titus and Available Angel.
Prediction : 1st Stoney Lane 2nd Intoxicata 3rd Flavius Titus

Age Of Time took a step forward when getting off the mark over C&D last month and the son of Dubawi has to be respected. That said, he may struggle to successfully concede 12lb to WINTERFAIR, who caught the eye when fifth on her racecourse bow over 7f at Sandown a month ago. Show Biz Kid is another with valid form claims, while Starshine Legend is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Winterfair 2nd Age Of Time 3rd Show Biz Kid

Bellagio Man arrives on the back of a victory over this trip at Newcastle but a 3lb rise for that head success makes life tougher and preference is for fellow double seeker REGAL ENVOY. He has gone up 6lb for a C&D victory 17 days ago but he made all with plenty to spare that day and a similar effort may suffice. Intervention filled the runner-up berth off this mark at Kempton last week and he's another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Regal Envoy 2nd Bellagio Man 3rd Intervention

Miss Anya and Elliott have been running well in defeat and should have their say again, but they may be playing for places behind LADY BOUQUET. Philip Kirby's filly hacked up over this C&D before finding one too good off her revised mark at Chelmsford 10 days ago, and she should relish a return to this venue. Hollie Doyle returning to the saddle is another positive.
Prediction : 1st Lady Bouquet 2nd Elliott 3rd Miss Anya

STAY SMART was in good heart on turf in the summer and, with winning C&D form in the book, he should go well off top-weight on his return to this venue. Mark Loughnane's gelding just gets the vote ahead of Bankrupt, who has gone up 2lb for a narrow victory over 6f at Kempton and the drop in trip is no concern, while Nordic Glory is another last-time-out winner to consider.
Prediction : 1st Stay Smart 2nd Bankrupt 3rd Nordic Glory

A return to the all-weather sparked a revival for MASTER OF COMBAT, who powered home to score in style from a subsequent winner here three weeks ago, and a 4lb rise may not be enough to halt him. Distinguished Lady has been threatening to score but a bigger threat may be posed by Hale End, who was knocking on the door in the summer and remains feasibly treated.
Prediction : 1st Master Of Combat 2nd Hale End 3rd Distinguished Lady
