UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

BIG NARSTIE, who was nabbed on the line by a lesser-fancied stablemate at Southwell on Tuesday, has a strong chance of atoning and may find dropping back to 7f provides a route back to winning ways. Rebel Redemption has a similar profile in that he was outdone near the finish over C&D on Boxing Day and is taken to at least uphold the form with Say Grace, who was only a half-length away in third on that occasion. Merry Secret also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Big Narstie 2nd Rebel Redemption 3rd Say Grace

Even though most of his rivals have the potential advantage of riders being able to claim weight, NEPTUNE LEGEND appeals most on the back of a respectable third-placed finish in a 0-68 handicap here 10 days ago. That was a deeper race and the relatively quick turnaround could be a good move while the memory of a solid effort is still fresh. Bear To Dream is feared most back over 7f, while Dreamcasing is also worth another try over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Neptune Legend 2nd Bear To Dream 3rd Dreamcasing

Valadero, who kicked off 2023 as favourite for the Brocklesby, has been in steady decline since that second-placed finish, yet the joint top-weight still commands respect upped in trip on his debut for George Boughey. However, this can go to IT'S NOT RISKY, who struck at Southwell 10 days ago and has a live chance of following up off just 2lb higher. Yippee also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Its Not Risky 2nd Valadero 3rd Yippee

A determined winner over further at Newcastle last time, MASTER DANDY should be able to handle the drop in trip on this occasion, as well as overcoming a mandatory penalty. Rebel Path may not have been in action since scoring at Deauville 874 days ago but he is an intriguing recruit to the Stuart Williams stable, while Al Wosol is another to consider on her first start for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Master Dandy 2nd Rebel Path 3rd Al Wosol

GUSTAV GRAVES has been slightly unlucky not to notch another couple of wins over C&D of late and this looks like a perfect opportunity to put that right off a workable mark. Resilience has been knocking on the door recently and must enter calculations, along with the well-handicapped Mokaatil and Thismydream, who won around this time last year at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Gustav Graves 2nd Resilience 3rd Mokaatil

BUNGLE BAY bounced back to form with a strong placed effort at Lingfield last time out and returning to this track is a big plus, having won over C&D last July off 3lb higher. A determined winner over C&D last time out himself, One Last Hug can give him the most to think about. Tathmeen, who has dropped to a handy mark, is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Bungle Bay 2nd One Last Hug 3rd Tathmeen

The veteran JUMIRA BRIDGE isn't quite the force of old, but his second over C&D was another pleasing effort last week and he remains on the same mark. He is more than capable and can record his 11th career success. The main threat is Mc's Wag, who is six years younger and did well to hit the frame over track and trip last month. Smasher goes in first-time cheekpieces and also makes some appeal.
Prediction : 1st Jumira Bridge 2nd Mcs Wag 3rd Smasher

LOUISIANA BAY has hit the crossbar the last twice, including over C&D, and she remains on the same mark. The daughter of Profitable could be rewarded for her consistency by going one better in this contest. Footsy had Virtual Hug (fourth) behind on his penultimate start here and can confirm that form to put it up to the selection, while Lochnaver is more than capable at this level.
Prediction : 1st Louisiana Bay 2nd Footsy 3rd Lochnaver

AEROPLANE MODE has produced two very solid displays off this mark on each of his last two outings, and the son of Gleneagles should have no issues with this step back up in distance. He remains in the same grade and can get his head in front. Carey Street hit the frame over C&D last month and he is definitely not ruled out, while Pink Jazz is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Aeroplane Mode 2nd Carey Street 3rd Pink Jazz
