UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

LOVE YOUR WORK landed a double on the turf during the summer and was beaten only a nose at Southwell last time. Darryll Holland's inmate can stamp his authority on this contest and resume winning ways at the chief expense of Drifts Away. The latter missed out on a hat-trick when runner-up at Lingfield but still makes more appeal than Nights Over Egypt, who took full advantage of his chief rival easing up too soon when landing a claimer at Leicester last month.
Prediction : 1st Love Your Work 2nd Drifts Away 3rd Nights Over Egypt

POETIC FORCE found only one too good at Brighton on his latest start and the winner has subsequently gone in again. A prolific winner on the all-weather, Tony Carroll's veteran may prove the one to side with back on this surface. Havana Touch has been threatening a return to winning ways and has solid claims returning to this longer distance, while Prince Ali returned a cosy winner here in September and is not easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Poetic Force 2nd Havana Touch 3rd Prince Ali

Placed on her last three outings, DARK LYRIC returns to this extra furlong with a leading chance. Sean Woods' filly ran well in defeat at Southwell last time and this looks a good opportunity to open her account. Inversion finished third over a mile at Newcastle on her penultimate start and merits consideration on that form, while the more exposed Rawaasi has a bit to find on today's terms as she steps up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Dark Lyric 2nd Inversion 3rd Rawaasi

MASTER ZACK may have finished a neck behind the reopposing Bank On Kent (third) at Chelmsford last time out, but he is 4lb better off now and that represented arguably a career-best effort from the son of Ardad. He can get off the mark on this occasion, with Cuban Lynx looking best placed to chase him home on just his second start for the Mick Appleby team.
Prediction : 1st Master Zack 2nd Bank On Kent 3rd Cuban Lynx

Narrowly denied on his nursery debut at Newcastle last time out, where the winner has gone in again since, CLEVER JACK is likely to have plenty of improvement forthcoming and Billy Loughnane retaining the ride is another plus. A comfortable winner over this distance at Southwell on his penultimate outing, Flaine can give him the most to think about for in-form connections. Aim For The Bull and Tiempo Alegre are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Clever Jack 2nd Flaine 3rd Aim For The Bull

A taking winner over C&D on his most recent outing, YORKSHIRE has already had a decent year and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent Ed Bethell's charge from going in again. A winner here back in March over 6f and a recent scorer at Southwell, Run Boy Run must enter calculations on the rise in grade, while Alzahir is another to note, having done very well since joining new connections. Brewing has yet to rediscover his best form, but he is five from eight on the all-weather, which bodes well.
Prediction : 1st Yorkshire 2nd Run Boy Run 3rd Brewing

LEVEL UP bounced back to form when second over C&D earlier in the month and the five-year-old is hard to oppose off the same mark here. Catch Cunningham has not been disgraced on either start since winning at this venue in September and is likely to be in the mix once again, while any market support for Commander Straker on his return would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Level Up 2nd Catch Cunningham 3rd Commander Straker

Two Auld Pals has to be of interest following his narrow second over 2m here 12 days ago, but marginal preference is for PERCY JONES. Mark Loughnane's gelding return to winning ways at this venue a month ago and a 3lb rise for that success may underestimate him. Others who make the shortlist are Sun Dancer Girl, Eagle's Realm and D Day Arvalenreeva.
Prediction : 1st Percy Jones 2nd Two Auld Pals 3rd Sun Dancer Girl

In a wide-open event the vote goes to HAVE SECRET, who has run well in some valuable handicaps on turf this year and that includes a second off this mark at Redcar last time. Koy Koy won over C&D a week ago and cannot be discounted off just 2lb higher, although this is more demanding. The unexposed pair Westridge and Glen Buck are others with strong from claims, while Lady Of Arabia is next best.
Prediction : 1st Have Secret 2nd Koy Koy 3rd Westridge
