UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

DIAMONDSINTHESAND capitalised on a career-low mark when appearing to win with something in hand over C&D last month and the six-year-old is fancied to defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. The progressive Intoxicata should give another good account of herself and the three-year-old isn't taken lightly. Sir Titan has posted a string of creditable efforts in defeat in recent months and the veteran is unlikely to be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Diamondsinthesand 2nd Intoxicata 3rd Sir Titan

FIRST ENCORE finished a respectable third off a mark of 78 on his handicap bow at Kempton last month and he looks the one to beat on this switch to maiden company. Jackson Street offered a lot more to work with when posting a fifth-placed finish at Newcastle in last month. Karl Burke's colt may give the selection most to think about if finding any further improvement, while Allegorical has the most experience and looks next best.
Prediction : 1st First Encore 2nd Jackson Street 3rd Allegorical

DARLO PRIDE has hit new heights since being fitted with a visor, as evidenced by his recent victories at Chelmsford and Lingfield. A 6lb penalty for last week's success may not be enough to prevent the gelded son of Outstrip from completing a hat-trick. Suanni finished just under two lengths behind the selection on Wednesday and he is feared most racing off the same mark, shortly followed by the in-form Gustav Graves.
Prediction : 1st Darlo Pride 2nd Suanni 3rd Gustav Graves

BLUE HAWAII has adapted well to racing on the Flat and is taken to add to last week's 1m6f success, despite having to carry a 4lb penalty. Placed twice over this trip at Newcastle in November, the drop back in distance isn't expected to cause too many issues for the selection and she is fancied to strike again while the iron is still hot. Duveen and Footsy are still relatively unexposed and both command respect, along with The Craftymaster if he handles the drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Blue Hawaii 2nd Duveen 3rd Footsy

MR TRICK was just denied in a driving finish at Lingfield on Tuesday and, with the quick turnaround suggesting he is thriving on being kept busy, he looks worth siding with off the same mark here. Still unexposed over the trip, the selection has proven form on the all-weather and ticks too many boxes to ignore, despite carrying top-weight. Get Set Jet rates as the biggest danger and is a possible improver with a tongue-tie applied. Neptune Legend and Reformed Character complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mr Trick 2nd Get Set Jet 3rd Neptune Legend

FINN RUSSELL is in the form of his life at present having won his last two starts, including one over this C&D, and he can bring up the hat-trick despite carrying a 6lb penalty for his latest success. Eagle Day arrives on the back of a comfortable victory over this track and trip last month and a 5lb rise may not prevent another bold bid today. Others to note include Flatley, Goldsmith and Measured Moments.
Prediction : 1st Finn Russell 2nd Eagle Day 3rd Measured Moments

An eye-catcher when not getting a clear run and running on late for third on his first start for new connections at Lingfield last month, BEN DIKDUK must hold every chance of breaking the maiden at the 11th time of asking. The son of New Approach is preferred to the consistent Katar and Aclaim To Fame, who has switched yards again since a strong placed effort at Newcastle in October.
Prediction : 1st Ben Dikduk 2nd Katar 3rd Aclaim To Fame

SHABAABY bounced back to form with a solid success over C&D last time out and a 4lb rise may be not be enough to stop him going again, having run off much higher marks in the past. Port Noir returns from a break having won at Chepstow when last seen in June, while Churchill Bay has finished a neck second over this C&D on his last two starts and must be considered. Astrophysics and Revolucion are also entitled to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Shabaaby 2nd Port Noir 3rd Revolucion
