UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Fools Rush In showed a lot more when sporting a first-time visor to occupy the runner-up berth at Southwell last week and should remain competitive off a 1lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to SUPASPECIALAWESOME, who shared the spoils over C&D two starts ago before running too badly to be true next time. Hugo Palmer's four-year-old may put that effort behind him and prove hard to beat. Equion is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Supaspecialawesome 2nd Fools Rush In 3rd Equion

This may prove to be a match between LORDSBRIDGE BLU and Prophet's Path, with slight preference for the former because he might have more to offer on only his third career start. The son of Havana Grey took a step forward from his debut to make the frame over a mile at Chelmsford and could improve again for this step up in distance. Prophet's Path does set the standard with a rating of 79 and went really close over 1m4f at Kempton. Newcomer Arc Zoosve warrants a market check.
Prediction : 1st Lordsbridge Blu 2nd Prophets Path 3rd Arc Zoosve

STAR OF MEHMAS made every yard of the running to beat a subsequent winner at Lingfield and she could have bundles more to come. Richard Hughes' juvenile is well drawn to attack again and might prove hard to peg back. Amestris is the obvious one with a lofty rating of 91 coming into this contest after finishing midfield in the Queen Mary at Royal Ascot three starts ago and she is expected to be involved. Bobbi Rosa is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Mehmas 2nd Amestris 3rd Bobbi Rosa

Now that the penny has dropped for SOLAR BIRICZ after a taking success at Musselburgh last week, there is likely to be plenty more improvement to come from the son of Mehmas, with Tom Kiely-Marshall's 7lb claim another plus. Premium Pass may still be a maiden after six starts, but she has run with plenty of credit the last twice and must enter calculations. Chelmsford third Dawn Awakening rounds out the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Solar Biricz 2nd Premium Pass 3rd Dawn Awakening

It is difficult to look past RAMAAH, who appeared to be on excellent terms with himself when getting off the mark as favourite at Chelmsford last week and a 6lb rise could prove lenient as he goes slightly further up in trip. An encouraging third when keeping on late over 1m4f at Beverley last time out, Three Platoon is on the shortlist, as are Kiss My Face and Virtual Hug.
Prediction : 1st Ramaah 2nd Three Platoon 3rd Virtual Hug

A comfortable winner from the reopposing Liosa on his last start over this C&D in July, for which he is 3lb worse off, ARLECCHINO'S GIFT still looks the one to beat on the back of his most recent effort, when narrowly denied at Lingfield. A capable sort on his day, Cooperation has dropped to a very workable mark, while C&D winner Porfin is another to consider at this level.
Prediction : 1st Arlecchinos Gift 2nd Liosa 3rd Cooperation

Catch Cunningham is an interesting contender back an artificial surface from a reasonably competitive mark, while four-time C&D winner Jojo Rabbit seems to raise his game at this venue and cannot be ruled out. However, in handicapping terms, none appeals more than CALL GLORY, who not only boasts some respectable synthetics form but is a highly attractive proposition off 5lb below his last winning rating with a new headgear combination tried. Match Play also has some each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Call Glory 2nd Catch Cunningham 3rd Jojo Rabbit

With recent winning form being non-existent, it is probably safe to take a lead from the betting. The likes of La Sonnambula and Soveraine both try different headgear applications for the first time and are shortlisted as potential improvers, while Lightning Bay has been placed here off this mark and warrants consideration. However, ASPIRE TO GLORY appeals off 4lb below his last winning rating and shades preference back up in trip, with Christain Howarth's 3lb claim an additional bonus.
Prediction : 1st Aspire To Glory 2nd La Sonnambula 3rd Soveraine
