UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

ASGARD'S CAPTAIN looked like the winner for long stages at Newcastle before being worn down in the final 100 yards, and it may be that a slight drop in distance can see him return to winning ways. The four-year-old scored over shorter here last month and is preferred to the capable Renesmee, as well as Prince Ali, who has finished runner-up on two of his last four starts.
Prediction : 1st Asgards Captain 2nd Renesmee 3rd Prince Ali

Narrowly denied on his last two starts here, HARBOUR VISION sets the standard on form and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to get back to winning ways. The nine-year-old runs off the same mark as his last success and should have too much for course winner Girl From Italy and Breguet Boy, who did it well at Windsor when last seen in October.
Prediction : 1st Harbour Vision 2nd Girl From Italy 3rd Breguet Boy

A promising third at Chelmsford last time out, despite being slowly into the stride, SIOBHANBROGAN should have plenty more to come on her third career outing and the booking of Oisin Murphy can only aid her cause. Narrowly denied over further at Kempton last month, Colour Code must enter calculations on her fist start for new connections, while Midnight Call is an intriguing newcomer for the Charlie Johnston yard.
Prediction : 1st Siobhanbrogan 2nd Colour Code 3rd Midnight Call

SENNOCKIAN has accounted for a couple of his rivals here already in recent weeks and Charlie Johnston's gelding can defy a further 3lb rise in the ratings to secure a hat-trick. Ippotheos was only a neck behind the selection last time, while Love Yours is another threat having finished just a head behind him at Newcastle. Dr Foster makes his handicap bow following a novice win at Kempton in October and he may improve for a subsequent gelding operation.
Prediction : 1st Sennockian 2nd Ippotheos 3rd Dr Foster

DOCTOR VUBY put in a career best when filling second place on his handicap debut over this trip at Chelmsford recently and he could go one better off the same mark. Ziggy's Missile did not build on his promising debut effort in two subsequent starts, but he should not be underestimated in this company, while Lieutenant Rascal appears to be next best.
Prediction : 1st Doctor Vuby 2nd Ziggys Missile 3rd Lieutenant Rascal

GUSTAV GRAVES won over C&D two starts ago and caught the eye when finishing well following a troubled passage here on Friday. With more luck in running, the six-year-old could bounce back to winning ways. That said, Darlo Pride has to be of interest following his success over this track and trip two weeks ago and The Defiant is another with valid form claims.
Prediction : 1st Gustav Graves 2nd Darlo Pride 3rd The Defiant

Now that the penny has dropped for SUBALTERN after a taking success at Chelmsford, Amy Murphy's charge should relish the step up in trip on this occasion and can follow up off 4lb higher. Behind him in that contest was Lunar Rocks (third), who doesn't have much to find and is another who may well be suited by the rise in distance. The unexposed Dibble Dabble is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Subaltern 2nd Lunar Rocks 3rd Dibble Dabble

LAWMAKER defied a long absence on his first run for new connections when scoring with authority at Kempton last month, and a 5lb rise for that success could prove lenient as the four-year-old remains unexposed. Not beaten far in his bid for the hat-trick over C&D last time out, Upepo must have a good chance, along with Sax Appeal, who is surely better than what he has shown at Kempton the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Lawmaker 2nd Upepo 3rd Sax Appeal
