UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Toplight has come home in front over course and distance four times off higher ratings and, although not at his best recently, he is hard to ignore off this mark. Gustav Graves pulled hard early on before finishing well when fifth here last month and he is beginning to look well handicapped, but FRISTEL is preferred. Fourth on his first start since June at Lingfield last week, he may do better now with that run under his belt.
Prediction : 1st Fristel 2nd Gustav Graves 3rd Toplight

Dreadpirateroberts won at Ripon with a bit in hand in April but this will be his first start since, and he has been gelded during his absence. He seems likely to go well, but giving 9lb to REPRISED may be a big ask. A beaten favourite at Beverley where she was hampered before running on into second, a clear passage could see her get off the mark now. Fidelius might also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Reprised 2nd Dreadpirateroberts 3rd Fidelius

Galloping On lived up to his name when fourth at Lingfield on his debut, staying on after being outpaced early in the race. If he improves for that experience he could mount a challenge, but DEBORA'S DREAM gets the nod. He arrives with the best form in the book and thoroughly deserves a victory after being beaten by a neck for the third time in five starts at Lingfield. He could win this if he retains that level, with Reine Des Coeurs and Eastern Dream newcomers to watch for future reference.
Prediction : 1st Deboras Dream 2nd Galloping On 3rd Reine Des Coeurs

SOUTH KENSINGTON ran well when switched to the all-weather last time out at Newcastle and this test appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark at the fourth time of asking. The booking of David Probert can only aid her cause, and she is preferred to the likes of Kempton third Xaarine and Delicacy, who looks to have been crying out for this rise in distance.
Prediction : 1st South Kensington 2nd Xaarine 3rd Delicacy

LIBERTY MOUNTAIN did it well when scoring comfortably over C&D last time and, as long as she can handle a wide draw, the double may be on the cards off a 5lb higher mark. Fellow C&D winner Initio is likely to be thereabouts, along with Intervention and Star Zinc, who bounced back to form at Newcastle earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Liberty Mountain 2nd Initio 3rd Star Zinc

MASTER OF COMBAT is in the form of his life at present and there is every reason to suggest that he can bring up the hat-trick following a determined success over C&D last month, for which he has been handed a 5lb rise. Tiger Beetle arrives with similar claims following his own success over C&D recently, and he also narrowly saw off the selection at this track last December. An encouraging second at Newcastle earlier in the month, Barley is one for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Master Of Combat 2nd Tiger Beetle 3rd Barley

LIGHT UP OUR STARS will arrive full of confidence following wins at Southwell (1m) and over an extended 1m here and, with stepping back up in trip unlikely to pose any problems, he is fancied to complete the hat-trick. Bint Al Daar steps back down in class and should make her presence felt, while Another Beautiful may improve for the application of a hood.
Prediction : 1st Light Up Our Stars 2nd Bint Al Daar 3rd Another Beautiful

REVOQUABLE was game in victory over 1m at Newcastle last month and a 3lb rise might not be enough to anchor him if arriving in the same mood. Kenstone was only beaten a neck into third over 7f here last time and he has a definite chance lining up off the same rating, similarly Brave Display, who is on a workable mark at present.
Prediction : 1st Revoquable 2nd Kenstone 3rd Brave Display

A number of these look to hold claims, so CORNISH STORM receives what can only be a tentative vote. He won pretty much as he liked over this trip at Kempton last time and providing he can reproduce that level of performance, he should remain competitive off a 7lb higher mark. Virtual Hug ran to a similar level when successful over 1m6f here latest and he is a must for the shortlist, while Global Tycoon and Bear Claws are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Cornish Storm 2nd Virtual Hug 3rd Global Tycoon
