UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

This is a drop in grade for ALJADEL, who struggled in a valuable nursery at Newmarket on her latest start, and the daughter of New Bay can take advantage of this easier test. She may have too much for Professor Tickle and Cuban Harry, who remains open to improvement after four career starts. Krysdanjord and Rukaana are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Aljadel 2nd Professor Tickle 3rd Cuban Harry

Now that the penny has dropped for CHERRY HILL, following a determined success at Kempton last time out, there could be plenty more to come from the daughter of Ulysses off a 5lb higher mark. Checkmeout looks to be a key threat on her handicap debut, while The Bitter Moose is another to consider despite a wide draw. George's Rascal and Hand Jive are also capable of being in the shake-up.
Prediction : 1st Cherry Hill 2nd Checkmeout 3rd The Bitter Moose

THE CALTONIAN arrives here on the back of two recent victories and he is taken to land the hat-trick, despite carrying a 10lb double penalty. Fellow C&D winner Fayasel can give him the most to think about, while upholding the form of his recent win over Guiteau (second). There was only a neck between Major Gatsby (first) and Liberty Breeze (second) when they met over C&D recently and both are likely to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st The Caltonian 2nd Fayasel 3rd Guiteau

Runner-up on her last two starts, Middlesex merits the utmost respect in her bid to go one better, but preference is for TAYALA. Ed Walker's charge has looked outpaced over 6f on each of her three starts and her pedigree would suggest she ought to be more effective over this longer trip. Make A Scene makes enough appeal on paper to warrant a market check ahead of her first start.
Prediction : 1st Tayala 2nd Middlesex 3rd Make A Scene

HE'S A GENTLEMAN was able to capitalise on a good spell of form when winning over C&D earlier this month. The son of Dark Angel must compete from a 2lb higher mark here, but he remains well treated on past exploits and is fancied to repeat the dose. Firm Handshake showed some ability when trained in Ireland and is worth a market check ahead of his stable debut, while recent Southwell scorer Light Up Our Stars is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Hes A Gentleman 2nd Firm Handshake 3rd Light Up Our Stars

The vote goes to BRIGHT, who chased home a couple of decent types over C&D in May. He then finished second to a now 85-rated rival at Ripon, while conceding 5lb, and this looks like a good opportunity to go one better. Moon Flight also brings solid form to the table and is unlikely to be far away, while others to note include Rooska and Kaidu.
Prediction : 1st Bright 2nd Moon Flight 3rd Rooska

An open contest sees ITHRA get the nod after a very decent effort over 6f at Kempton, where she was only beaten three quarters of a length despite finishing fourth. Archie Watson's charge offered a bold bid from the front on that occasion and she looks primed to go close once more off the same mark. Belle Fourche can give the selection most to think about after a good second over 6f at Chelmsford, while similar comments apply to Jax Edge.
Prediction : 1st Ithra 2nd Belle Fourche 3rd Jax Edge

Delvey ran on gamely when denied by a short head over 1m4f here last time and she looks likely to be in the mix once again, but raised 2lb in the ratings, she may be susceptible to some better treated rivals such as CAPTAIN ST LUCIFER. The six-year-old ran his best race for a while when second over the extended 1m1f at this track last time and this extra yardage can help him to defy a 1lb rise. Hill Station is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Captain St Lucifer 2nd Delvey 3rd Hill Station

CITY ESCAPE was only narrowly denied a hat-trick when third over C&D last time and she looks primed to go well once again. Mark Loughnane's charge runs off the same mark and she can get back to winning ways. Prince Ali was nearly two lengths behind the selection on that occasion and, dropped 1lb in the ratings, he could get closer. Huda Star can also have a say on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st City Escape 2nd Prince Ali 3rd Huda Star
