UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Now that the penny has dropped for STAR OF JUPITER after a comfortable success in a classified contest over C&D recently, the four-year-old is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and a mark of 53 could underestimate him on handicap debut. Not beaten far over 7f at Newcastle last time out, Al Baahy is of interest, while Khangai is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Jupiter 2nd Al Baahy 3rd Khangai

Not beaten far over further here the last twice when travelling well towards the front, HARLINGTON is likely to be suited by a drop in trip having scored over C&D last September. The son of Hunter's Light may be able to dictate and gets the nod ahead of unexposed handicap debutant Fazen, and Olympic Quest, who returns to action after going close over track and trip in October.
Prediction : 1st Harlington 2nd Fazen 3rd Olympic Quest

ARTS OF WAR has yet to live up to her costly price tag, but Roger Varian's charge could be well treated off a mark of 70 on her handicap bow and she may be able to see off the more experienced Runaround Sioux going up in trip a furlong. Placed on two starts here previously, Storm Valley has done very well since those efforts and must be high on the shortlist too.
Prediction : 1st Arts Of War 2nd Runaround Sioux 3rd Storm Valley

HAVANA JOY did herself no favours by running keenly on her racecourse debut at Kempton 20 days ago and did well to finish third under the circumstances. Sure to be wiser and open to any amount of improvement, the daughter of Havana Grey is an attractive proposition. Cemlyn and Star Zia are the clear pick of the remainder, with the latter feared most as she sets the standard on official ratings.
Prediction : 1st Havana Joy 2nd Star Zia 3rd Cemlyn

SISTERS IN THE SKY boasts the most convincing recent profile and, still well treated on his past exploits, has a decent chance of extending his run of good form by posting back-to-back C&D wins within the calendar month. Under Curfew is feared most under a 4lb penalty for his own track and trip success from last week. Fellow course winners Shamardia, who wears first-time cheekpieces, and Thismydream can also figure off competitive ratings.
Prediction : 1st Sisters In The Sky 2nd Under Curfew 3rd Shamardia

It is hard to ignore JUST TYPICAL, who has won two of his last three starts and has thrived on being kept busy since the turn of the year. Ian Williams' four-year-old escapes a penalty for last week's mile success in a restricted riders' race at Newcastle and must have every chance of following up with Ryan Kavanagh retaining the ride. Pessoa is hard to get right, yet is notable with first-time cheekpieces tried. Inexplicable and Plumette are other course winners who at least merit betting checks.
Prediction : 1st Just Typical 2nd Pessoa 3rd Inexplicable

Sense Of Worth appreciated a return to 1m4f when scoring over C&D seven days ago and another bold bid looks likely. However, a 4lb penalty could be enough to thwart the veteran in his follow-up bid and preference is for the rejuvenated INIT TOGETHER. The seven-year-old has proved triumphant on four of his five outings since racing under the Tony Carroll banner in January and there still looks to be more to come. Upepo is also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Init Together 2nd Sense Of Worth 3rd Upepo

Having returned to form when runner-up in a similar contest at Southwell 13 days ago, a breakthrough victory could be on the horizon for MAVERIC'S MAGIC. The introduction of a tongue-tie and hood could eke out some improvement in the Bungle Inthejungle gelding and he won't find many weaker contests. The biggest threat may emerge from Second Collection, who holds leading claims if shaking off a last-placed finish over C&D a fortnight ago, ahead of Battle Point.
Prediction : 1st Maverics Magic 2nd Second Collection 3rd Battle Point
