UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Loveable Rogue dug in to score over 1m1f on the turf course at Lingfield in May and she goes handicapping from a fair opening mark, but a chance is taken on PRINCE RASAM. Michael Bell's gelding has been disappointing since defeating subsequent Derby fourth Deira Mile on his debut last September, but a first-time hood is now employed and that could give him a boost. Others to note include Historic City and Character Testing.
Prediction : 1st Prince Rasam 2nd Loveable Rogue 3rd Historic City

This represents an excellent opportunity for CAPO VATICANO, who ran well under a penalty at Hamilton having won at Chelmsford on her debut in April. The daughter of Calyx is 5lb clear of surprise Bath scorer Accrual on official ratings and she receives 5lb from the gelding. Angel Pass, a 130,000-euro puchase as a yearling, warrants a market check ahead of her racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Capo Vaticano 2nd Accrual 3rd Angel Pass

NIGHT ON EARTH struggled to make an impact in the Dash at Epsom last month, but he was out of the handicap there and the C&D winner competes off a 5lb lower figure now back on an artificial surface. Invincible Speed continues to knock on the door and he might benefit from a drop in trip. Handicap debutant Blazes Boylan and Ready Freddie Go, who sports blinkers for the first time, are two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Night On Earth 2nd Invincible Speed 3rd Blazes Boylan

BOLDLY may still be a maiden after six starts, but he showed more than enough when beaten half a length into second over 1m6f at Thirsk last week to suggest he might be able to get off the mark on this occasion. That may be at the main expense of comfortable Kempton winner Goblet Of Fire, although course specialist Optician is four from four here so has to enter the equation as well.
Prediction : 1st Boldly 2nd Goblet Of Fire 3rd Optician

A taking winner over 7f at Chelmsford in May, MAGIC GEM has tasted success here before too and a 4lb rise for that most recent victory may not be enough to prevent him from landing the double on the drop in trip. Due Date has scored on his last two C&D starts so he must enter calculations, along with Porfin, who is a key player based on the pick of his form.
Prediction : 1st Magic Gem 2nd Due Date 3rd Porfin

COAST has plenty of miles on the clock for one her age, but she bounced back to winning ways with a dominant success from the front on the Lingfield turf and should have more to come, with Mikkel Mortensen taking off a valuable 7lb. Beaten less than a length at Chepstow last week, Street Life can give her the most to think about, while Savannah Smiles scored at the same track recently and rounds out the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Coast 2nd Street Life 3rd Savannah Smiles

VIRTUAL HUG returns to the all-weather for the first time since winning here in April. He's 3lb higher but saves his best for this venue and can go close again. Smokey Malone struck off a 1lb higher mark over this distance at Southwell in January and is not out of it, while Dubai Immo has a shout if staying this far having placed over 1m4f on his last couple of outings. Baileys Warrior and Casa Luna make most appeal of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Virtual Hug 2nd Smokey Malone 3rd Dubai Immo

Candy Warhol is still looking for a first victory but has gone close over track and trip on a few occasions, while Thomas Equinas showed progressive form when winning four times at Chelmsford last year and is not out of this. However, BOSSY PARKER landed a double over C&D earlier in the year and Stella Barclay's charge may prove the one to side with now only 2lb higher than for his latest success. Lingfield winner My Mate Mike is preferred of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bossy Parker 2nd Candy Warhol 3rd Thomas Equinas
