UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Kapparis Kid could go well dropping back in trip after his recent Newcastle fourth, but BEAUZON may have his measure. A C&D winner on Monday and carrying a 5lb penalty, the five-year-old has won at this venue six times off marks up to 69, suggesting he can follow up. Doves Of Peace and Q Twenty Boy are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Beauzon 2nd Kapparis Kid 3rd Doves Of Peace

Alfheim is noted making her first start for George Boughey after arriving from Ireland, but she will need to improve after finishing last at Naas in October. Buttercross Flyer showed improvement when third at Newcastle last time out, but HAVANA FORCE is most interesting. Six placed efforts earlier in her career suggest she has ability, and first-time blinkers may see her score.
Prediction : 1st Havana Force 2nd Buttercross Flyer 3rd Alfheim

An interesting race where the comfortable Kempton winner American Gal will attempt to give 7lb or more to all of her rivals, which may be a big ask barring plenty of improvement. Tempted showed better form when fourth at Southwell last month and could be interesting, but so is TRUSTED ADVISOR. The daughter of Ulysses showed signs of inexperience on her C&D debut before keeping on into fifth, and she could be the one they all have to beat if improving for that experience.
Prediction : 1st Trusted Advisor 2nd American Gal 3rd Tempted

Eazy On The Eye has to be respected having got off the mark over C&D three weeks ago, but a 7lb penalty could make her vulnerable. With that in mind, preference is for PRINCESS QAJAR, who was making her debut when filling fourth place that day and could improve past Eazy On The Eye on these terms. Spirit Of Jura and Thamna are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Princess Qajar 2nd Eazy On The Eye 3rd Spirit Of Jura

Cases can be made for most of these, but none more so than STRONG JOHNSON. The veteran returned to winning ways over 5f at Newcastle last week and a 4lb penalty may underestimate him here. Southbank hit the crossbar at Chelmsford last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Four Adaay and Miss Anya are others who could go very well.
Prediction : 1st Strong Johnson 2nd Southbank 3rd Four Adaay

STRAIGHT A has won twice over 7f in recent weeks and the step back up in trip should not be a problem for the three-year-old. As a result, the progressive gelding just edges out More Than A Feelin to be the pick. The latter scored at Kempton a month ago and may have more to offer. Ciotog is another with strong form claims if he can transfer his most recent turf performances to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Straight A 2nd More Than A Feelin 3rd Ciotog

CERULEAN SUMMER beat Port Noir by two lengths in this grade over track and trip earlier in the month and Morgan Cole's 5lb claim largely negates her 6lb penalty. Dylan Cunha's three-year-old might only need to produce a repeat of that performance in order to go in again. Curtiz outran his odds to finish second at Chelmsford last month and should go well off a 2lb higher mark, while Balqaa is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Cerulean Summer 2nd Curtiz 3rd Balqaa

Competing off 3lb below his last winning mark and with his stamina more proven than some, WESTERN STARS is a key player. The Jim Boyle-trained gelding merits respect at this level and, with the in-form Rossa Ryan back in the saddle, there are solid foundation for another big run. Trojan Truth is weighted to go close, although Green Team is undoubtedly well handicapped based on past exploits and also needs serious consideration.
Prediction : 1st Western Stars 2nd Trojan Truth 3rd Green Team

RUNAROUND SIOUX won a similar race at Chelmsford in February and, having missed most of the turf season, appeals off just 2lb higher. Her ability to truly handle Tapeta is still the only slight query in an otherwise solid case for support. Unico has held her form well and has a good chance of at least running into a place. All-weather debutant Rapido Girl is bred to be effective on synthetics and also needs a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Runaround Sioux 2nd Unico 3rd Rapido Girl
