UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

From a handy draw and, with last month's course and distance success being well advertised by three subsequent winners, BLUE COLLAR LAD is hard to ignore despite being on a 7lb higher mark. The consistent Mumcat may be the one to give the selection the most to think about, although Coast is 2lb below her last winning mark and, as a likely pace angle, can also go well with Luke Morris back in the saddle.
Prediction : 1st Blue Collar Lad 2nd Mumcat 3rd Coast

Majestic Heights and Far Above Mary are the only ones with previous experience and, while neither sets the bar very high, both are entitled to be wiser and can make their presence felt. However, this can go to one of the newcomers, with the vote going to HASHTAGNOTIONS, who is a half-brother to the Listed-winning juvenile Shumookhi. Cheerleader and Ashen Glow are others to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Hashtagnotions 2nd Majestic Heights 3rd Far Above Mary

It is difficult to see beyond the hat-trick seeking TAMARIS, who has been found a good opportunity to extend his winning run. Having scored with plenty in hand on his debut for the James Owen yard over an extended 2m here last week, the selection has little to fear stepping back down in trip and must be considered under just a 4lb penalty. Lawmans Blis is up 4lb after his C&D success and commands respect, while the well-handicapped Zillion is dangerous to ignore.
Prediction : 1st Tamaris 2nd Lawmans Blis 3rd Zillion

PER CONTRA struggled in Group 3 company on his final start as a juvenile but his previous form suggests that he could be hard to beat on his handicap bow off a mark of 88. The progressive Dunstan has to be of interest having won four times this year already, although this will require further improvement. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Ville Natale is just the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Per Contra 2nd Dunstan 3rd Ville Natale

NEW IMAGE won well on his debut for these connections over 5f at Southwell last month and the son of Frankel merits the utmost respect on his handicap bow here. The hat-trick seeking Laoisman is another with strong form claims, although the 195-day break has to be a slight concern. Others who make the shortlist are Bora Bora, Habooba and Seven Brothers.
Prediction : 1st New Image 2nd Laoisman 3rd Bora Bora

DAWN OF LIBERATION has performed with credit in defeat on both of his starts for this yard, most recently finding 7f too sharp at Southwell last time and, stepping up in trip and eased 1lb, he has strong claims in a race of this nature. Akkadian Thunder won cosily on his penultimate start and he has standout claims on that form, but punters will need to be in a forgiving mood to side with him after his laboured effort at Newcastle when last seen. Borgi should find this company more manageable than when finishing down the field in a higher grade at Lingfield most recently, but he won over 1m at Southwell the time before and he is respected today off a 2lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st Dawn Of Liberation 2nd Akkadian Thunder 3rd Borgi

ABSOLUTE DREAM had cheekpieces back on when scoring over 7f at Southwell on his penultimate start, and he proved that effort was no flash in the pan when finishing second over 6f at Newcastle most recently. Stepping back up in trip off just 2lb higher than his last winning mark, Richard Fahey's charge looks the one to side with. A Pint Of Bear fared best of those ridden patiently when finishing a creditable second over C&D recently and he is feared most off an unchanged mark. Captain Wentworth also commands attention, provided the application of cheekpieces has the desired effect.
Prediction : 1st Absolute Dream 2nd A Pint Of Bear 3rd Captain Wentworth
