UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Sisterandbrother came from off the pace to score over C&D last weekend but although a 3lb rise should be no barrier to further success, MR NUGGET is preferred. The unexposed four-year-old finished a neck in front of Sisterandbrother when runner-up at Southwell early on in the month and is now 2lb better off. Should David Simcock's charge find further improvement, he ought to go very close. Pysanka is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Mr Nugget 2nd Sisterandbrother 3rd Pysanka

Union Island has been in good form of late, but he has been held from this mark on his last two starts so MOSTLY MOZART is a more appealing option. The son of Nathaniel outran odds of 100/1 to finish third over C&D on his handicap bow, having raced wider than ideal rounding the home turn. He competes from an unchanged mark and there should be more to come. Douglas Dc might not be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Mostly Mozart 2nd Union Island 3rd Douglas Dc

This is an excellent opportunity for STIFLING, who returned from well over a year off the track to finish second at Newcastle. The daughter of Ulysses looks certain to step forward and, with little in the way of opposition, she can break her duck. Fashionelle ran with a certain degree of credit over 1m4f here last month, although a drop in trip might not play to her strengths. Miss Applejack completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Stifling 2nd Fashionelle 3rd Miss Applejack

Cases can be stated for all five entrants. However, it is entirely feasible that dropping back down to 5f can bring the best out of BROOKLYN NINE NINE, who edged out Bedford Flyer over this trip at Southwell on his penultimate start and can uphold the form given he has more scope for progression on the all-weather. Kylian and Equilateral are honours even from a couple of recent encounters and add depth to the race. Michaela's Boy commands respect, but needs more to complete a hat-trick.
Prediction : 1st Brooklyn Nine Nine 2nd Bedford Flyer 3rd Kylian

LESSAY is an interesting contender in here now tried in a first-time visor with top jockey Rossa Ryan taking over in the plate. Giant also appeals based on his peak form and he is dangerous to underestimate given he has run well over track and trip in the past. Thapa VC and Follow Your Heart, who are old foes, warrant betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Lessay 2nd Giant 3rd Thapa VC

The hat-trick seeking and Match Anthem is respected, but dropping back to 6f raises enough concern to consider looking elsewhere, with FANTASY NAVIGATOR a captivating option on just his third start for Darryll Holland. Although not the force of old, this in truth won't take much winning and his effectiveness over the trip is a big positive. Mumcat, a C&D winner last April, also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Fantasy Navigator 2nd Match Anthem 3rd Mumcat

Piperstown comes out best on official ratings and he arrives on the back of a 6f victory at Southwell. However, both of his victories came at that venue and preference is for C&D scorer BERNIE THE BEAR, who was knocking on the door prior to a lacklustre effort at Chelmsford last time. Global Effort also has track-and-trip winning form in the book and he has been running well in defeat of late.
Prediction : 1st Bernie The Bear 2nd Global Effort 3rd Piperstown

HARLEM NIGHTS travelled very well when well backed over 1m2f at Newcastle on his latest outing but he didn't quite see out the trip, eventually finishing third. Jessica Macey's charge makes plenty of appeal off a 1lb lower mark as he drops in distance, although the match-fit Saturnalia is also respected after a good placed effort at Kempton. Likewise Straight A, who is slipping back down to a workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Harlem Nights 2nd Saturnalia 3rd Straight A

After completing a double with a victory over this C&D, Jersey Rocs blew the start when a disappointing favourite off his revised mark but it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. However, CIOTOG was ahead of Charlie Hills' gelding when only beaten a length into fifth that day, despite not getting a clear run, and he gets a tentative nod to record his second track-and-trip success. Kracking has been running well in defeat and should have his say again.
Prediction : 1st Ciotog 2nd Jersey Rocs 3rd Kracking
