UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over C&D on Tuesday, RUBELLITE should have plenty more to come despite shouldering a 5lb penalty, which is offset by Alex Jary's 5lb claim. She can get the better of Irish raider Muhalhel and Come To Pass, who wasn't beaten far over C&D last month. Kemerton and Naadyaa are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Rubellite 2nd Come To Pass 3rd Muhalhel

WADACRE GRACE has gone close to executing tactics from the front over C&D the last twice, and this may be the time that she gets it right with Joe Fanning taking over in the saddle. The unexposed Meleki has improved with each start and must be a big player going back up in trip, while recent C&D winner Min Till must also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Wadacre Grace 2nd Meleki 3rd Min Till

An intriguing maiden where it can pay to side with BINT ALFELLA, who was an encouraging second on her return from a 96-day break over C&D in November. Runner-up on his first two career outings here last month, Influence can give her the most to think about, while Helga Brandt was well fancied but disappointed on her debut at Pontefract and may be capable of better.
Prediction : 1st Bint Alfella 2nd Influence 3rd Helga Brandt

GREAT MAX (fifth) had Master Of Combat (sixth) behind by just over two lengths over C&D in November and he was dropped 2lb for that effort. The son of Wootton Bassett now takes another drop in grade and could prove very hard to beat at this level. Inspiritus is an interesting contender on his handicap debut and could go well off an opening mark of 78, while Afterwards will find this easier than his latest Newcastle assignment.
Prediction : 1st Great Max 2nd Inspiritus 3rd Afterwards

GERROTS was victorious by half a length over an extended 2m here on his latest outing and he now has a 2lb higher mark to contend with. The six-year-old remains in this grade and could be the one to beat again. Black Smoke hit the frame over 1m4f here last month and he is able to compete off the same mark, so could get into contention up in trip. Vienna Girl is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Gerrots 2nd Black Smoke 3rd Vienna Girl

THE CRAFTYMASTER had Baileys Warrior (second) a length behind when scoring over an extended 2m here last month and is only 1lb worse off at the weights. The son of Master Carpenter is less exposed than most of these and could have plenty more to offer, so he can record a double. As for the latter, she has cheekpieces applied for the first time which could see her get closer. Virtual Hug is another to note.
Prediction : 1st The Craftymaster 2nd Baileys Warrior 3rd Virtual Hug

Twice a winner at this level, including one over C&D, THE TRON arrives following a series of creditable efforts in handicaps. The son of Outstrip is expected to mount a serious challenge on these terms and he shades preference over Basholo, to whom similar comments apply with stall one likely to aid her chance. Another to note is Wiley Post.
Prediction : 1st The Tron 2nd Basholo 3rd Wiley Post

A 2lb rise in the handicap might underestimate HARRY THE HAGGLER, who recorded an unlikely success at Kempton last time having been caught much further back than ideal passing the two furlong marker. Stuart Williams' four-year-old ought to be tested by Irish raider Circles and Dion Baker, who looks set to appreciate a drop in trip after weakening over further here last month.
Prediction : 1st Harry The Haggler 2nd Circles 3rd Dion Baker

DAGMAR RUN was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when winning at Chelmsford last time and David Simcock's charge is fancied to repeat the dose off just 1lb higher. South Dakota Sioux continues to run well in defeat and he's unlikely to be far away, along with Vondelpark. Multiple course winner Plumette hasn't been at her best in recent starts, but she cannot be ruled out around here.
Prediction : 1st Dagmar Run 2nd South Dakota Sioux 3rd Vondelpark
