UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

INFANTRY OFFICER took a big step forward when winning impressively on his handicap debut over 1m4f here 10 days ago and Michael Bell's gelding is very hard to oppose, despite a 6lb penalty. Perfect Parole could prove to be the main threat following an encouraging effort at Lingfield a few weeks ago. Eva's Eyes is another capable of making the frame.
Prediction : 1st Infantry Officer 2nd Perfect Parole 3rd Evas Eyes

ELTERWATER arrives here on the back of two 1m2f victories at Chelmsford last month and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those triumphs may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick. Caramay is only 1lb above her last winning mark and is likely to be in the mix, while any market support for Salamanca City on her return would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Elterwater 2nd Caramay 3rd Salamanca City

It's A Love Thing has to be respected following two wins earlier in the month, but marginal preference is for MEDIA MOGUL. Ed Walker's gelding was only beaten a head into second at Newcastle last time and the first-time application of cheekpieces may bring about further progression. Upepo scored over C&D a month ago and is another with valid form claims.
Prediction : 1st Media Mogul 2nd Its A Love Thing 3rd Upepo

My Turn Now had a length to spare over SECOND COLLECTION when they clashed over 5f here 10 days ago and should go well again. However, the latter is already a dual C&D winner and, armed with a 5lb pull in the weights, she can turn the form around back over this trip. Tommytwohoots and Ustath also have winning form here and are other each-way alternatives to consider.
Prediction : 1st Second Collection 2nd My Turn Now 3rd Tommytwohoots

MASHAAN seems best when racing on the front end and is handily drawn to launch a bold attempt at following up Monday's win over 7f in a handicap at Lingfield. Dropping back down a furlong isn't a major worry for the Alice Haynes-trained seven-year-old, although the likes of Lion's Dream and Nordic Glory are likely types to capitalise if the shorter trip does catch him out.
Prediction : 1st Mashaan 2nd Lions Dream 3rd Nordic Glory

C&D winner PESSOA has landed races back-to-back before and can repeat the feat after running on to score convincingly over 7f here last week. A 5lb penalty make things tougher for the six-year-old, but his proven liking for this venue is enough of a countering factor in his bid to gain a sixth Wolverhampton success. Port Noir is also effective here and commands respect from a winning mark. Fellow track-and-trip scorer Annalee Lass is another must for the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pessoa 2nd Port Noir 3rd Annalee Lass

L'IMMORTALE has been a revelation since joining the Jack Jones stable and now that he has broken the maiden with a determined success over further at Lingfield on Monday, the five-year-old can follow up under a 5lb penalty. Narrowly denied in his attempt to land a 7f double here, Ravenglass is capable of being in the shake-up, as is Tactical Control, who may improve for going back up in distance slightly.
Prediction : 1st Limmortale 2nd Ravenglass 3rd Tactical Control

PERFECT LIFE showed significant improvement from his first to his second start when scoring at this venue and Marco Botti's colt can go in again under a penalty, with Hollie Doyle back in the saddle. Runner-up on his last two starts, Circus Of Rome looks just the type to improve for going up in trip. Hot Cash is of interest on the drop in grade, having contested a Group 3 at Deauville last summer.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Life 2nd Circus Of Rome 3rd Hot Cash

Impressive when justifying favouritism over this distance at Lingfield, ECCLESIASTICAL has won over C&D before and he sets the standard on recent form, despite a 7lb rise in the weights. A consistent sort without getting his head in front since victory over track and trip last September, Catch Cunningham is on the shortlist along with another C&D winner in the shape of El Bufalo.
Prediction : 1st Ecclesiastical 2nd Catch Cunningham 3rd El Bufalo
