UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA was a good third over 2m at Chelmsford and this slight step up in trip can work the oracle for Julia Feilden's runner. The four-year-old filly runs off an unchanged mark for that one-length defeat, which can be exploited. Trojan Truth failed to justify favouritism when second over 1m4f at this venue, but the extra yardage might unlock some improvement. The consistent Baileys Warrior isn't easily discounted either.
Prediction : 1st Grand Duchess Olga 2nd Trojan Truth 3rd Baileys Warrior

CORUNDUM was far from disgraced in fourth behind some progressive rivals at Southwell and the drop in grade can work the oracle. Lucy Wadham's runner shaped as if this extra yardage could suit when third over 1m at the same venue on his penultimate start and he makes most appeal. The biggest danger might come in the form of Show Biz Kid, who ran well when beaten less than two lengths in a Nottingham handicap, while significant improvement can be expected from His Finest Hour on his second start.
Prediction : 1st Corundum 2nd Show Biz Kid 3rd His Finest Hour

OUTRACE rediscovered some form off this mark of 60 - 9lb below his last winning figure - when third over the extended 1m1f here and a repeat of that effort would see him thereabouts. Richard Hannon's colt should benefit from the drop in trip, and Tyrese Cameron's 7lb claim looks to be a positive too. Jez Bomb had excuses for his sixth as favourite over 1m2f at Beverley and a return to the track where he scored on his previous start means he commands respect. We'renotreallyhere and Apache Canyon head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Outrace 2nd Jez Bomb 3rd Werenotreallyhere

EVOCATIVE SPARK has gradually come to hand since joining new connections and Monday's effort over track and trip when not beaten far into fourth gave the impression that a victory may be just around the corner. The five-year-old is narrowly preferred to C&D winner Guiteau and Monsieur Patat, who was a determined winner here over 6f on his penultimate outing but has also tasted C&D success. Twilight Dancer has the form to get involved in proceedings as well.
Prediction : 1st Evocative Spark 2nd Monsieur Patat 3rd Guiteau

ROSENZOO has put together an excellent record at this track during 2024 and a 1lb rise for his most recent second over slightly shorter here may not be enough to prevent him from getting his head in front again. A taking winner on her penultimate outing at Windsor, Warren Hill is another leading contender, along with unexposed handicap debutant Monsieur Fudge and Sandown third Drink Dry.
Prediction : 1st Rosenzoo 2nd Warren Hill 3rd Monsieur Fudge

An upwardly-mobile three-year-old in the height of summer, SALAMANCA LAD's progress stalled briefly but his most recent effort at Sandown over further was highly encouraging and a mark of 78 still looks workable. A determined winner over C&D last time out, Visibility can give the selection the most to think about, while Fast Steps is now just 1lb above his last success in July so has to be considered too.
Prediction : 1st Salamanca Lad 2nd Visibility 3rd Fast Steps

ARLECCHINO'S GIFT recorded his fourth success over C&D when scoring with a bit left in the locker last month. The five-year-old can launch another strong challenge, despite a 3lb rise, given today's rivals fail to inspire much confidence. Not Just Yet was narrowly beaten over track and trip in between moderate efforts over 7f and may get involved. Doctor Vuby returns to Tapeta 9lb lower than when runner-up here back in February and has a shout on that form.
Prediction : 1st Arlecchinos Gift 2nd Not Just Yet 3rd Doctor Vuby

SPANISH ANGEL has won five times on Tapeta, with four of those victories coming at this venue. Now 5lb lower than when last successful here back in May, it could be the turn of Ruth Carr's sprinter once again. Zeno spoilt his chance when veering leaving the stalls here last time, although he won at Lingfield before that and is only 2lb higher. Course regular Banana has placed off today's mark on several occasions.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Angel 2nd Zeno 3rd Banana

RENOIR was having only his second outing in a handicap when returning a cosy winner over C&D. He may well prove ahead of the handicapper on that evidence and the unexposed five-year-old is taken to reverse earlier running with Pysanka. The latter won here in September, although he found one too good back at this venue subsequently and Delta Legend makes more appeal off his current mark.
Prediction : 1st Renoir 2nd Delta Legend 3rd Pysanka
