UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

English Spirit won this 12 months ago and is back after a victory here over slightly further last month. That clearly makes him a player once more but if VISIBILITY can get away on level terms, he may have the edge. A tardy start didn't stop him last time as he got up late on at this venue, although he cannot afford the same mistake over this shorter trip. Yeoman, who was just a head behind him on that occasion, and Calanthe also enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Visibility 2nd English Spirit 3rd Yeoman

A small field may play into the hands of the Roger Varian-trained TAWAJJAH, who was second at Windsor when beaten a nose and then at Southwell when left with a bit too much to do. This may be the best chance yet for the Frankel colt to win a race, with the once-raced Plage De Havre an interesting alternative. Sixth but not beaten far at Yarmouth in September 2023 and not seen since, he may get the better of Maguire in a fight for second spot.
Prediction : 1st Tawajjah 2nd Plage De Havre 3rd Maguire

PUGLIA didn't have the best of luck over C&D when denied a clear run after trying to come from off the pace, but she won her previous start at Windsor and clearly has the ability needed. Saxon Raider was second here in a maiden last month before struggling back on turf. He could go well off an opening mark of 67, although Maids Head looks the bigger danger off the same rating after a decent display at Leicester in better company.
Prediction : 1st Puglia 2nd Maids Head 3rd Saxon Raider

BLUEBELLS BOY has been in the form of his life over the last two months and a 6lb rise for his most recent comfortable success at Chelmsford may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. Similar comments apply to C&D winner Diamond Dreamer, who arrives on the back of a pair of victories at Lingfield, while Zu Run may be suited by dropping back in trip, having shown plenty of pace when scoring over 7f here.
Prediction : 1st Bluebells Boy 2nd Diamond Dreamer 3rd Zu Run

A winner twice in July here and runner-up on his most recent outing in August, DILLYDINGDILLYDONG gives every impression that he will suited by going up in distance and he gets that opportunity now. A respectable third over this trip at Southwell last time out, The Resdev Way looks to be a key player, along with the consistent Albert Lasker and Peripeteia.
Prediction : 1st Dillydingdillydong 2nd The Resdev Way 3rd Albert Lasker

Now that the penny has dropped for KITTY FURNIVAL after a clear-cut success in maiden company at Kempton, the daughter of Zarak is likely to have more to come and a mark of 83 could prove lenient on her handicap debut. Successful over C&D last time out, Speriamo may give her the most to think about, although Lordsbridge Blu was narrowly denied a double when beaten a neck over shorter at Newcastle and warrants attention too.
Prediction : 1st Kitty Furnival 2nd Speriamo 3rd Lordsbridge Blu

Mykonos St John and Port Noir have both being going through a renaissance period and should be capable of holding their own in this company, despite each creeping back up the handicap. KALIKAPOUR is another interesting contender on these terms and, given he was rated 90 as recently as May of last year, the son of Lope De Vega looks thrown in off a figure of just 60 and must be worth chancing.
Prediction : 1st Kalikapour 2nd Mykonos St John 3rd Port Noir

A 7f winner off 4lb lower at Lingfield three starts back, American Rose needs taking seriously with her recent form creating hope of more to come. However, a chance is taken on C&D winner A PINT OF BEAR, who is better than the face value of his last two starts suggests. Nudged down 2lb after running too keenly here last month, the six-year-old can redeem himself in this potentially weaker event. Bossy Parker and Gilt Edge are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st A Pint Of Bear 2nd American Rose 3rd Bossy Parker

SPLIT ELEVENS won back-to-back races at the end of summer and, having held his form quite well since then, rates a solid option in his bid to repeat the feat with David Probert retaining the ride after guiding him to victory over C&D last month. A 3lb higher mark demands more of him and creates hope for key rivals such as Reputation and Harbour Vision, who have both won off higher ratings.
Prediction : 1st Split Elevens 2nd Reputation 3rd Harbour Vision
