UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

BEARAWAY struck at Lingfield last month and he went agonisingly close over the same C&D when 4lb higher recently. Simon Pearce's gelding has since been hit with a further 3lb hike but, given that he remains in such good form, the son of Kodiac ought to hold every chance of going one place better. Yeoman continues to knock at the door but although he is unlikely to be far away, Partisan Hero might be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Bearaway 2nd Partisan Hero 3rd Yeoman

This is an excellent opportunity for TREASURE FLEET to double his tally, having won over C&D on his debut three weeks ago. The 800,000gns son of Kingman does not appear to have too much in the way of opposition and a penalty shouldn't be enough to stop him. Thermal Energy makes appeal on paper and warrants a market check. Island Hero, who shaped with some promise on his racecourse bow, heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Treasure Fleet 2nd Thermal Energy 3rd Island Hero

Dash Power arrives following back-to-back second-placed efforts and he's entitled to go close once again, but the vote is handed to TWISTALINE. Mick Appleby's mare struggled at handicap level at Southwell a fortnight ago, but she filled the runner-up spot in a similar event there previously and this ease in grade could hold the key. Tenyatta has a chance on these terms and may well get involved on her stable debut.
Prediction : 1st Twistaline 2nd Dash Power 3rd Tenyatta

The runner-up in two similar events before again going close in a handicap most recently, CHERRY KING is the clear form pick and holds obvious claims back in a classified stakes. Lady Ava should also be suited by the terms of the race and is notable on her first run in an event of this nature. However, the less-exposed Melsmay could pose a bigger threat to the selection if building on a respectable third at this level at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Cherry King 2nd Melsmay 3rd Lady Ava

DESTRUCTIVE, a comfortable winner of a maiden over C&D 17 days ago who also ran well in a Listed event for three-year-olds in the UAE last year, could be a blot on the handicap from a rating of 85 after that convincing return. Fast Society has scope to progress this year and is dangerous to underestimate on just his second attempt in handicap company. Invincible Aura and Road To Wembley are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Destructive 2nd Fast Society 3rd Invincible Aura

THIS FARH has posted two improved efforts in novice/maiden company since being gelded and can make the breakthrough with another step forward now he goes handicapping off a workable mark. Lovesick has also shown fair promise, most notably when landing a maiden over C&D on her penultimate start. Having also run well in a novice stakes at Chelmsford most recently, Richard Spencer's filly is a must for the shortlist. Standput and Blue Secret are other appealing options.
Prediction : 1st This Farh 2nd Lovesick 3rd Standput

Now that the penny has dropped for BLUE SEEKER after a comfortable success on his handicap debut over C&D, there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Blue Point and he can follow up off 8lb higher. A highly creditable third on his handicap bow at Kempton, Panama Black is a key player, as is Blue Empress, who has the potential to improve for going up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Blue Seeker 2nd Panama Black 3rd Blue Empress

This can go the way of GALEL, who arrives on the back of a career-best effort when narrowly denied over 7f here. John Butler's filly showed enough pace to suggest that she can handle the drop back in trip and she may have too much for Alafdhal, who has a 4lb penalty to overcome for a success over 5f here last week. Less than a length behind him in that contest was State Of Madness (second), who must enter calculations on the revised terms.
Prediction : 1st Galel 2nd Alafdhal 3rd State Of Madness

INIT TOGETHER has been a revelation since joining the Tony Carroll yard and a further 3lb rise for his most recent success at Lingfield could prove lenient as he looks to land the hat-trick. The seven-year-old scored over C&D on his penultimate start and it may be that stablemate Cryptos Dream gives him the most to think about, having got up to win over C&D herself back in November. City Escape has dropped 7lb below her last winning mark and is capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Init Together 2nd Cryptos Dream 3rd City Escape
