UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Turned out again quickly after being denied as a short-priced favourite at Windsor last week, COCK AND BULL can gain compensation over a C&D he went close over in March. The slight rise in trip is another plus, and he should have too much for Doubletalk, who bounced back to winning ways with a taking performance at Chelmsford. Runner-up over C&D last time out, Chartwell's Lady cannot be ruled out either on just her third start in a handicap.
Prediction : 1st Cock And Bull 2nd Doubletalk 3rd Chartwells Lady

This can go the way of PRO BONO ALEXANDER, who has been in excellent form on the all-weather in Ireland and could still be well treated off a mark of 73 on her British debut. Cluedo must enter calculations after scoring with authority over C&D last October, while Make Clear is another to note following a success on her first start for new connections at Dundalk earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Pro Bono Alexander 2nd Cluedo 3rd Make Clear

A surprise winner on her debut here over 7f, COURT DRIVE looked a filly with plenty of ability and she can prove that was no fluke under a 7lb penalty on this occasion. The drop in trip should not inconvenience either, and it may be Kento that gives her the most to think about with Connor Planas taking off a useful 3lb. Not beaten far at Kempton last time out, Boadicia is entitled to be thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Court Drive 2nd Kento 3rd Boadicia

DIAMOND DREAMER displayed a willing attitude when winning at Lingfield earlier this month. A 3lb higher rating looks workable for Patrick Chamings' charge and a brace could be on the horizon. Jungle Run warrants respect having posted a close-up third over C&D last month and he's entitled to build on that. The five-year-old may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Jack Of Clubs.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Dreamer 2nd Jungle Run 3rd Jack Of Clubs

Having finished fourth in a 0-65 contest over track and trip earlier this month, Big Dream merits respect. The six-year-old is unlikely to be far away, but WHITE UMBRELLA, who finished ahead in second on that occasion, is the one to beat and Christopher Kellett's mare ticks plenty of the right boxes. Nordic Glory and Porfin also warrant a second look.
Prediction : 1st White Umbrella 2nd Big Dream 3rd Nordic Glory

GASTRONOMY justified strong support in the market when opening his account at Newcastle recently. The gelded son of Ulysses scored with enough in hand that day to suggest that a 6lb higher mark won't be enough to prevent him from following up, and he's taken to get the better of fellow last-time-out winner Fox Flame. Charlie Johnston's filly boasts five victories to her name on the all-weather and she isn't taken lightly, with Surrey Belle making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Gastronomy 2nd Fox Flame 3rd Surrey Belle

AL BAAHY would have finished a lot closer to the protagonists but for a troubled passage when finishing down the field over an extended mile here in December. Dropping back to 7f off a 2lb lower mark, he shades preference on his return to action. Dion Baker arrives on the back of an admirable fourth over a mile at Yarmouth most recently and he should appreciate this reduced yardage on his return to an artificial surface. Candy Warhol was an excellent third over a mile at Lingfield last time and is respected.
Prediction : 1st Al Baahy 2nd Dion Baker 3rd Candy Warhol

SOUTH DAKOTA SIOUX was caught further back than ideal after an awkward start when finishing sixth over 6f at Kempton last month. Eased 1lb and stepping up to this trip for the first time, he gets the vote to come home in front. Haalim was last seen finishing a creditable second over 7f here earlier this month and, upped 2lb, he cannot be dismissed with any great confidence. C&D winner Olympic Quest completes the shortlist but will need to bounce back from a below-par effort most recently to take the gold medal.
Prediction : 1st South Dakota Sioux 2nd Haalim 3rd Olympic Quest
