UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

The application of a hood seemed to work the oracle for STARTLING last time, as she won a shade cosily over this course and distance on her nursery debut. This doesn't look a strong handicap and the daughter of Zoustar is taken to go in again despite a 5lb rise. Pure Liberty finished third behind the selection and can have a say in proceedings once more, while it would be no surprise to see better efforts from both Dubai Magic and Lady Lovebug now handicapping.
Prediction : 1st Startling 2nd Pure Liberty 3rd Dubai Magic

ALL WAYS GLAMOROUS is edging closer to opening his account, having gone agonisingly close when beaten only a neck at Bath, and he gets another chance now debuting on the all-weather. Glowchester is steadily improving and returns to the minimum trip after going close on soft ground over 6f at Catterick, while Mockirr failed to make an impact over 6f at Southwell on his debut, but should settle better today and the application of a tongue-tie may bring about some improvement.
Prediction : 1st All Ways Glamorous 2nd Glowchester 3rd Mockirr

Lingfield winner SHAMARDIA made another bold bid when beaten less than a length at the same track last time, and the Shamardal filly looks worth another chance off her current mark on that evidence. Banana ran into plenty of trouble over 5f here a week ago but has a shout on her placed efforts over today's distance before that, while Araifjan may improve on his second outing after a wind operation having slid down the weights since he was last successful on the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Shamardia 2nd Banana 3rd Araifjan

Master Of Combat is back for more having won a division of this race last year, but he hasn't been at his best lately and his stable could be in better form. War Chant carries a 5lb penalty for winning over C&D last time out and could prove popular, but a chance is taken on TASMANIAN LEGEND. Boasting two wins from four starts over C&D with one off a higher mark last March, he drops in class here after finishing fifth last time out and may take full advantage.
Prediction : 1st Tasmanian Legend 2nd War Chant 3rd Master Of Combat

Six runnings of this have seen five winning three-year-olds, so Buttercross Flyer could go close after finishing a good third last time out. Nights Over Egypt runs with a 5lb penalty after winning by a head over shorter here and he can go well, although KRISTAL KLEAR may prove too good for both of them. Only beaten a head in a better race at Haydock over this trip earlier in the month, a repeat of that performance may be enough for victory here.
Prediction : 1st Kristal Klear 2nd Buttercross Flyer 3rd Nights Over Egypt

SWINGING EDDIE has a good record here with three wins and five places, and after a Catterick win on the turf when last seen in July, he could be set for a winning return to the all-weather for a stable in good form. Lady Wingalong returns from a break and she can go well if she is back to her best, while both Frankie Valliance and Amaysmont will have their supporters, with Kevin Frost's gelding the suggestion for third place.
Prediction : 1st Swinging Eddie 2nd Lady Wingalong 3rd Amaysmont

Having finished a close-up second over track and trip earlier this month, ACES WILD looks ready to regain the winning thread. Adrian Wintle's charge is only 2lb higher in the ratings and he shades the verdict over fellow in-form rival Ecclesiastical. The latter arrives on the back of a solid third at Ayr and, reverting to the all-weather, he's unlikely to be far away racing off an unchanged mark. Gustav Graves is also worth a second look on his return to action.
Prediction : 1st Aces Wild 2nd Ecclesiastical 3rd Gustav Graves

PYSANKA supplemented his creditable reappearance second at Windsor earlier in September with a ready victory over today's C&D nine days ago. A 3lb rise looks on the lenient side for Mark Loughnane's gelding and a double rates a strong possibility. Dubawi Time should appreciate a return to the all-weather and he may leave his distant third at Epsom last time out behind. The three-year-old is feared most, ahead of Arenas Del Tiempo.
Prediction : 1st Pysanka 2nd Dubawi Time 3rd Arenas Del Tiempo

HARBOUR VISION found only a progressive rival too strong when headed in the closing stages over this track and trip recently. Although the veteran hasn't proved the most consistent of late, he could be worth chancing in his current mood, particularly off the same rating. Inspiring Speeches did little wrong when a close-up second at Beverley six days ago and, despite having something to prove on the all-weather, another good account is forecast. Bungle Bay looks best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Harbour Vision 2nd Inspiring Speeches 3rd Bungle Bay
