UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Rhythm N Hooves has won two of his last three starts at Southwell and is closely matched on his narrow January win with Almaty Star, who has subsequently won over course and distance. That pair will be hard to keep out of the finish, but a chance is taken on SPARTAN ARROW. The latter only faltered in the final furlong when attempting to make all at Newcastle on his return from an absence and first start for Archie Watson's yard. He looks to have retained all his ability and can improve for that pipe-opener.
Prediction : 1st Spartan Arrow 2nd Rhythm N Hooves 3rd Almaty Star

A winner here at the start of the year, AUTUMN ANGEL has gone close over course and distance on her last couple of outings and it could pay to stick with Tony Carroll's sprinter in an open contest. Ramon Di Loria is looking to take advantage of a potentially lenient mark and was beaten only a neck on his latest outing, while Mehmo will be winning again before long based on his recent third at Chelmsford.
Prediction : 1st Autumn Angel 2nd Ramon Di Loria 3rd Mehmo

Charlie Johnston trained the winner of his race 12 months ago and his MARHABA GHAIYYATH stands out in this year's renewal. He boasts the strongest form, having won a maiden over a mile at Lingfield in December, and further progress is expected over this extra distance. Luisa took a step forward when placed here in November and is likely to prove competitive, while Chilli Queen is worthy of a second glance having recently joined Emma Lavelle's yard.
Prediction : 1st Marhaba Ghaiyyath 2nd Luisa 3rd Chilli Queen

PARADOXICAL continued his progression when completing a double over a furlong shorter here 23 days ago. Jennie Candlish's charge boasts two C&D triumphs and a 4lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent him from completing a hat-trick. The biggest danger may emerge from the consistent Init Together, who arrives on the back of two creditable efforts in defeat. The reappearing Jez Bomb may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Paradoxical 2nd Init Together 3rd Jez Bomb

MASQOOL did little wrong when finding only a subsequent winner too strong over track and trip last month. A 2lb nudge up in the ratings for the seven-year-old may prove to be lenient and a 12th career victory could be imminent. Kaaranah returned to form with a close-up second over 1m at Kempton a fortnight ago and, up in distance, he isn't taken lightly. English Spirit and Lechuga Lad are also worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Masqool 2nd Kaaranah 3rd English Spirit

Having found herself with too much to do when finishing a never-nearer fourth over 1m at Chelmsford four days ago, BOUJEE GOLD looks ready to strike. A quick turnaround should pose little issue for Tony Carroll's C&D winner and she edges the vote over Light Up Our Stars. The veteran arrives on the back of respectable second over this track and trip and a similar performance off an unchanged mark seems sure to see him involved. Kessaar Power and Back From Dubai also warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Boujee Gold 2nd Light Up Our Stars 3rd Kessaar Power

Al Baahy is attractively weighted in comparison to his peak form a couple of years ago, while Conquest Of Power won over 6f at Newcastle three starts back and cannot be ruled out running off just 3lb higher now back over arguably his optimum distance. However, this could be well within the reach of BUNGLE BAY, who won over C&D in December and confirmed his well-being with a 6f success under the same rider here last month.
Prediction : 1st Bungle Bay 2nd Al Baahy 3rd Conquest Of Power

Last-time-out C&D winners and old enemies MAMDOH and Black Smoke could be the pair to focus on, with the former readily preferred after readily brushing aside his potential main rival into fifth when they clashed here early last month. The latter proved his resilience with a return to form here 22 days ago and should go well off just 3lb higher. Rubellite and Zooks also scored on their latest starts and they both warrant consideration.
Prediction : 1st Mamdoh 2nd Black Smoke 3rd Rubellite
