UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

MAN ON A MISSION finished a close third at Kempton last month and is able to compete off an unchanged rating. With a previous C&D victory on his profile and space to manoeuvre off his current mark, he looks the way to go. Beaumadier failed to fire over this track and trip last time, but he is best judged on his second at Lingfield prior to that display. Buraback looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Man On A Mission 2nd Beaumadier 3rd Buraback

CITY ESCAPE made her way through the field to run out a two-length victor in an apprentice handicap when completing a C&D double on her latest outing. Mark Loughnane's eight-year-old escapes a penalty for that success and looks tough to oppose in her current mood. My Brother Mike got his head back in front over track and trip last month and would be foolish to dismiss off only a 3lb higher rating. Enzos Angel is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st City Escape 2nd My Brother Mike 3rd Enzos Angel

MCINTOSH showed lots of ability when finishing over two lengths clear of a subsequent winner and only finding one too good on his debut at Chelmsford last month. The son of Kingman looks to have been found a suitable assignment and can get off the mark. Ay Gee Ell produced a better effort when taking the silver medal home over 5f at this venue last time and could go well, while any market confidence behind newcomer Recency Bias would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st McIntosh 2nd Ay Gee Ell 3rd Recency Bias

WHENTHEDEALINSDONE still remains fairly treated by the handicapper in his bid for a hat-trick following two victories in recent months, which includes a C&D success last time. The seven-year-old can prove too strong for the veteran Muscika, who has been in fine fettle of late and won at Newcastle in January. Siobhanbrogan is respected along with Diamond Dreamer in an open event.
Prediction : 1st Whenthedealinsdone 2nd Muscika 3rd Siobhanbrogan

MANTON ROAD continues to hold his form strongly as Gay Kelleway's gelding has been kept busy in recent weeks. The son of Mohaather steps back up in distance in his search for a third win on the bounce and it would be no surprise to see him defy a 6lb penalty, especially due to him not getting the clearest of runs last time. Harryella won on nursery debut at Chelmsford in December and commands plenty of respect off a 4lb higher mark, while Hock Eye The Noo completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Manton Road 2nd Harryella 3rd Hock Eye The Noo

LYNWOOD LAD has stepped forward on his last couple of starts and arrives seeking a quick-fire double after his success here over 6f last week. The extra furlong is unlikely to stop him from backing that performance up. Seas Of Elzaam has improved since dropping into classified company and the eight-year-old is capable of being in the mix. Miss Billie can bounce back from a below-par effort at Southwell in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Lynwood Lad 2nd Seas Of Elzaam 3rd Miss Billie

This looks an excellent opportunity for ROGUE THUNDER to return to winning ways, and he could be hard to beat after his near-miss over 6f here last week if coping with the step back up in trip with Billy Loughnane in the saddle once again. Hawajes has disappointed on his last two runs but he would have a chance for Tony Carroll if returning to the form of his win at Southwell at the end of January, while Star of Atlantis is fancied to fare best of the rest in what looks a weak contest.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Thunder 2nd Hawajes 3rd Star Of Atlantis

COCONUT BAY bounced back to form with a bang over this C&D three weeks ago, and she's been found another winnable race to follow up in in if arriving in similar form. Callum Shepherd looks an interesting booking on Wrath Of Hector and he could go well back down in trip after running respectably when finishing fifth over a mile at Chelmsford last time. Shades Of May disappointed on his last start at Chelmsford but he's still lightly raced and could go well from a tricky draw if back on song here.
Prediction : 1st Coconut Bay 2nd Wrath Of Hector 3rd Shades Of May

Kaleidoscope Eyes was narrowly defeated here over 6f three weeks ago and while this return to 7f is sure to suit, preference is for ADVERSARY on his first start in a handicap. Clive Cox's gelding has found things happening a bit quickly for him on his last two starts over 6f, but should relish a return to this longer trip and an opening mark of 60 shouldn't be beyond this son of Pinatubo. Thiscouldbefun has been running well in defeat of late and although she might need a bit of respite from the handicapper, she shouldn't be far away once again.
Prediction : 1st Adversary 2nd Kaleidoscope Eyes 3rd Thiscouldbefun
