UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

This can go the way of SO GRATEFUL, who deservedly got back to winning ways with a determined success over 5f at Newcastle last time out. The booking of Serera Brotherton in a contest of this nature is a big plus, and the seven-year-old is narrowly preferred to The Cola Brasil, an eye-catcher on his first run for new connections when fourth over 7f at Chelmsford. Only once outside the first three in her last four starts over C&D, Banana is entitled to be thereabout as well.
Prediction : 1st So Grateful 2nd The Cola Brasil 3rd Banana

A highly promising second on debut over C&D recently, FRENCH SAND is open to any amount of improvement on the back of that effort and she can go one better for leading connections. A length behind her on that occasion was the well-bred Kinswoman (fourth), who is capable of being in the shake-up, as well as Wild Embers, who ran well first time out at Dundalk in January before joining new connections.
Prediction : 1st French Sand 2nd Kinswoman 3rd Wild Embers

TEA SEA caught the eye when not getting the clearest of runs and keeping on for third over 7f at Kempton last time out, and stepping back up in trip looks like a good move as he aims to land a fourth victory in his last six starts. A promising second for in-form connections at Chelmsford recently, Star Pupil must enter calculations, along with Cosmos Raj, who is 5lb lower than his last success, which came over C&D last year.
Prediction : 1st Tea Sea 2nd Star Pupil 3rd Cosmos Raj

The hat-trick seeking Mr Baloo appeals under a penalty after winning over the extended mile here last week. The son of Kodi Bear won that race cosily and can have another big say if stepping up a furlong in trip doesn't cause an issue. However, there are no such doubts about PERFECTLY TIMED, who scored readily over 1m2f at Newcastle when last seen. If picking up where he left off in September, a 6lb higher mark could be brushed aside. Shahbaz and Son Of Man complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Perfectly Timed 2nd Mr Baloo 3rd Shahbaz

The last-time-out winners FLAINE and Pine Cliffs could be the most profitable pair to focus on, with the former shading preference with her match-fitness proven after scoring comfortably over 1m2f at Lingfield last month. A 5lb higher mark looks fair and another bold showing is highly likely. The latter is less exposed and, having responded well to score in first-time cheekpieces when last seen, he can go well if the retained headgear has a similar impact. Telecommunication and Pink Petunia are others to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Flaine 2nd Pine Cliffs 3rd Telecommunication

DAARIS got back to winning ways under Mason Paetel in an apprentice handicap over this C&D nine days ago and, with the rider now able to claim his full 7lb, the six-year-old must have every chance of following up. Easter Icon beat the selection over the extended 2m here last month but might struggle to uphold the form off 3lb higher over this distance. Moon Over The Sea can also figure.
Prediction : 1st Daaris 2nd Easter Icon 3rd Moon Over The Sea

Having defied market expectation when scoring in a handicap over track and trip four days ago, King of The Dance must enter calculations reverting to classified company. However, a 5lb penalty does demand more and preference is for BIG NARSTIE. The seven-year-old arrives on the back of close-up second over 1m2f at Lingfield and this distance looks ideal. We'renotreallyhere and Ajrad are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Big Narstie 2nd King of The Dance 3rd Werenotreallyhere

COMEDIAN LEADER built on her promising third over C&D when finishing second in handicap company at Lingfield last week. The daughter of Aclaim ticks plenty of the right boxes and may have the last laugh. The biggest threat may emerge from Sir Laurence Graff, who has posted several creditable efforts in defeat of late. Star Of Atlantis and Brinton are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Comedian Leader 2nd Sir Laurence Graff 3rd Star Of Atlantis
