UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Enola Holmes broke her maiden in comfortable fashion over C&D recently and although respected, she has more to do under the penalty. Karl Burke's debuting duo of Wonderbolt and Rajwa make considerable appeal and market support would be noteworthy, but the vote goes to CUPOLA. Clive Cox's filly made a pleasing racecourse bow at Lingfield last month, finishing third, and it would come as no surprise were the Harry Angel filly to step forward today.
Prediction : 1st Cupola 2nd Enola Holmes 3rd Wonderbolt

SUN KEEPER shaped with promise on her first foray into handicap company, finishing third in behind a couple of in-form rivals at Newcastle last month. Eased 1lb for her troubles, the daughter of Havana Grey should appreciate this extra furlong and the application of a first-time tongue-tie is another potential source of improvement. Sarafina Mshairi (third) finished a length behind Top Biller (winner) over C&D last time out but is weighted to reverse the form today. Dance Recital hasn't always looked the easiest of rides, but she moves into handicaps from a potentially workable mark.
Prediction : 1st Sun Keeper 2nd Sarafina Mshairi 3rd Dance Recital

A chance can be taken on ATHERSTONE BEAU, who posted an improved performance when not beaten far into sixth over 5f on her all-weather debut last month. A step up in trip looks certain to suit Roger Fell's filly on that evidence and a 2lb ease in the handicap could be very lenient. Causin A Commotion has been knocking at the door recently and is unlikely to be far away once again, while Rosezan warrants a market check now sent handicapping for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Atherstone Beau 2nd Causin A Commotion 3rd Rosezan

Addosh was beaten five lengths into second when last seen in this sphere at Southwell last month and has been well held in two starts over hurdles since. A return to the Flat could produce a better performance, but it may be best to side with HAWA JUMEIRAH. The four-year-old ran below-par when only fourth over 1m4f here last time but based on his success at this venue prior to that, he could be the one to beat. Balgowan completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hawa Jumeirah 2nd Addosh 3rd Balgowan

MAMDOH hasn't finished out of the top two since the application of cheekpieces two starts ago, when beating Sophosc into third and scoring by a length over C&D. The four-year-old was far from disgraced in second over an extended 2m at Southwell subsequently and could prove difficult to beat back at this venue. Two Plus Two beat Daaris (third) when successful over track and trip on his penultimate start and he can confirm that form to go close.
Prediction : 1st Mamdoh 2nd Two Plus Two 3rd Daaris

City Of God improved on his debut fourth to shed his maiden tag over a mile at Southwell last month and with any amount of improvement to come, he has to be considered on his handicap debut. However, it may pay to side with SWEET FANTASTIC, who stayed on to win well in first-time cheekpieces over this trip at Kempton last time and was only put up 4lb for that triumph. With Liam Wright claiming a handy 5lb this time around, he may prove tough to stop. Master Technician is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Fantastic 2nd City Of God 3rd Master Technician

Having filled the runner-up berth on his last two outings in classified company, compensation could be on the horizon for MATCH ANTHEM. This looks a slightly weaker contest than the four-year-old's latest close-up second over C&D and he shades the verdict over Dandy Lichious. Tristan Davidson's charge arrives on the back of a respectable third at Southwell and a similar performance should see him thereabouts at the finish once more. Scarfo is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Match Anthem 2nd Dandy Lichious 3rd Scarfo

Celebrating Ethel found only a subsequent winner too strong over track and trip 22 days ago and a 1lb nudge up in the ratings looks very fair. However, MR FUSTIC overcame a rough passage when holding on to score at Lingfield earlier this month and, racing off just 2lb higher, the seven-year-old may prove to be the better handicapped of the pair. Charlatan and Mariner can also make their presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Mr Fustic 2nd Celebrating Ethel 3rd Charlatan

HIGH COURT JUDGE had little difficulty in completing a five-timer at Newcastle three days ago and he's hard to oppose on his current upward trajectory. Warren Fentiman is taking a handy 7lb off the five-year-old's back and a 5lb penalty seems unlikely to prevent an eighth career victory. Sense Of Worth arrives on the back of a solid second over an extended 1m1f here, but today's 1m4f distance may stretch his stamina. With that in mind, a bigger threat may emerge from last-time-out C&D winner Starfighter.
Prediction : 1st High Court Judge 2nd Starfighter 3rd Sense Of Worth
