UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

MAJED confirmed the promise that he had shown on his first two starts when getting off the mark over an extended mile here in November. The second from that contest won next time out, which suggests that an opening mark of 85 may underestimate this son of Magna Grecia. Dunstan has to be interest following his success at Southwell, while Bradman is the clear pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Majed 2nd Dunstan 3rd Bradman

NORDIC GLORY was a close third off this mark over 6f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and reproduction of that performance should be good enough to take this moderate event. Big Dream has shown promise on his last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Blue Collar Lad and Bungle Bay are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Nordic Glory 2nd Big Dream 3rd Blue Collar Lad

Charlatan has to be respected given his recent victories but he faces a much stiffer test now switched back to handicap company. With that in mind, preference is for STRICTLY DREAMING, who was third over a mile at Chelmsford last time and a 1lb lower mark should only help her here. Romanovich edges out Aeroplane Mode to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Strictly Dreaming 2nd Charlatan 3rd Romanovich

LOUGH LEANE looked a very unlikely winner at the two furlong pole at Chelmsford last time, but he came from the clouds to get up by half a length and a 3lb rise looks more than fair. The four-year-old could prove a different proposition now that he's got his head in front. Kemerton was denied just under three lengths into third over an extended 1m1f here last month and can go well, while Van Zant completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lough Leane 2nd Kemerton 3rd Van Zant

TATATEO took a big leap forward after his below-par debut effort at Kempton when seven lengths clear of the third over track and trip last month. James Ferguson's gelding is likely to have any amount of improvement to come and could prove very hard to beat on the back of that second-placed effort.. Naughty Niall, who sets the standard in this contest with a rating of 68 after his second at a huge price over 6f here last time, is worth a second look, while Absolutely Not is worth monitoring in the betting ahead of her debut.
Prediction : 1st Tatateo 2nd Naughty Niall 3rd Absolutely Not

VAGUELY ROYAL did what was required to justify odds-on in this grade over C&D in December and he was put up 3lb for that victory. The Galileo gelding is improving rapidly and he can take this before moving up the class ladder. Zealot has proven to be a revelation for the Michael Appleby yard and it would be no surprise to see him get involved off 3lb higher than his latest success at Chelmsford. Nolton Cross is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Vaguely Royal 2nd Zealot 3rd Nolton Cross

KINGDOM COME has the class to see him through in this company, despite having to concede 9lb and more to his rivals under top-weight. Having just his ninth career start, the selection is 3-3 on the all-weather (all at Kempton) and, assuming he isn't inconvenienced by the surface on his Tapeta debut, the Clive Cox-trained gelding can further enhance that statistic. Doctor Khan Junior, who seeks a four-timer, is fancied to hold off Follow Your Heart and Intervention for second.
Prediction : 1st Kingdom Come 2nd Doctor Khan Junior 3rd Follow Your Heart

DAVID'S DIVA impressed when winning over 1m at Southwell in December, before following up with a cosy success over the same trip at Kempton most recently. Raised just a further 3lb, the Rod Millman-trained filly has little to fear from dropping to this trip, although Harriet's Angel won over the distance at Kempton two starts ago and can at least make this a good test. Circles and Soi Dao complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Davids Diva 2nd Harriets Angel 3rd Circles
