UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

The return to this distance did the trick for CITY CYCLONE when running out a comfortable winner here last Saturday and it would be no surprise to see him back that performance up, despite a 7lb rise from the handicapper. Heavenly Fire carries a 5lb penalty for Tuesday's success over C&D but she commands plenty of respect along with Voltaic, who has been dropped 2lb for his latest effort.
Prediction : 1st City Cyclone 2nd Heavenly Fire 3rd Voltaic

ONLY ONE BLUE shaped with plenty of encouragement when runner-up at Southwell at the end of last month and the daughter of Blue Point makes plenty of appeal in her attempt to go one better. Wanderlust belied his 40/1 odds when finishing third over C&D on his first start and is capable of being in the mix, while a gelding operation and a switch to the all-weather may bring about improvement from Destructive.
Prediction : 1st Only One Blue 2nd Wanderlust 3rd Destructive

MANARA benefited from a step up in trip when scoring on her nursery debut at Chelmsford in November before following up here under a penalty in more impressive fashion just four days later. The handicapper has duly reacted by giving her a further 11lb rise, which may not be enough to stop her. Patrol got off the mark at Southwell and is expected to be competitive once again, while Fernando and Tiempo Alegre can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Manara 2nd Patrol 3rd Fernando

MASTER OF MY FATE had just over a length to spare from Nogo's Dream (second) when successful at Lingfield just over a week ago, and a 4lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to uphold that form. Secret Mistral bounced back to winning ways with a determined display over C&D and she must enter calculations, along with fellow track-and-trip scorer Catch Cunningham.
Prediction : 1st Master Of My Fate 2nd Nogos Dream 3rd Secret Mistral

A tentative vote goes to SARAFINA MSHAIRI, who has given the impression on her last two starts here over 5f that stepping up in trip is what she needs, having been outpaced before keeping on at the finish. A mark of 58 on her handicap debut looks manageable and the daughter of Cable Bay is preferred to the relatively consistent Roysdelight. Party Bear, for the in-form Karl Burke outfit, Mister Coco Fizz and Roselily are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Sarafina Mshairi 2nd Roysdelight 3rd Party Bear

MAHARAJAS EXPRESS was beaten half a length into second over 5f at this venue earlier in the week and he competes off an unchanged rating. Ian Williams' five-year-old should have no issues with this step back up in trip and he will prove very hard to beat. Rogue Thunder justified favouritism over C&D last time and holds an obvious chance, while Smasher is a player based on his second at Kempton two starts ago.
Prediction : 1st Maharajas Express 2nd Rogue Thunder 3rd Smasher

The hat-trick seeking Jersey Rocs is likely to have his supporters after his success over C&D last month, but it may pay to side with KIT GABRIEL. Seb Spencer's six-year-old made every yard of the running when beating a subsequent winner by two and a quarter lengths over track and trip and he could defy his 6lb rise. Of the remainder, last-time-out course scorer Finn Russell makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Kit Gabriel 2nd Jersey Rocs 3rd Finn Russell
