UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

IT'S TIM is difficult to oppose bidding for a four-timer. He clipped heels entering the home straight at Chelmsford last week, but still left the opposition trailing in his wake and the son of Ulysses can defy a double penalty on that evidence. Lednikov has been in winning form over 1m4f at Southwell this year and looks worth another try over this longer trip, while Alex The Great went close over course and distance in March and could also feature.
Prediction : 1st Its Tim 2nd Lednikov 3rd Alex The Great

BELA SONATA returned the convincing winner at Kempton on her reappearance. She can shrug off a penalty with the prospect of more to come over this extra furlong. Callisto Dream steps up from 6f with a shout, having made a winning debut at Carlisle last autumn. Her pedigree suggests today's trip will be well within her compass, while Mahogany Bay ran well for a long way when third over a mile at Newmarket and she has to be a threat on that form.
Prediction : 1st Bela Sonata 2nd Callisto Dream 3rd Mahogany Bay

Romantic Spirit bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins with solid claims. She beat the runner-up Silent Affair a shade cosily last time and can confirm superiority, despite 4lb worse terms. However, YELLOW CARD may prove the one to side with, given he ran into all sorts of trouble when second at Bath on his return to action and handicap debut. The son of Masar may well have won with normal luck in-running and he looks to have a good opportunity to make amends.
Prediction : 1st Yellow Card 2nd Romantic Spirit 3rd Silent Affair

SNOW CREEK was a credible third over 6f on his debut run in a handicap at Newcastle last month and, nudged down 1lb, he could be a different proposition with this longer trip looking ideal based on his pedigree. Take The Boat, the winner of three of his last four starts, is the most obvious danger, despite his revised mark meaning another personal best is required. Adelaide Bay's latest effort can be excused (hampered early) and he is another with a major chance.
Prediction : 1st Snow Creek 2nd Take The Boat 3rd Adelaide Bay

Brinton and Boujee Gold both have enticing claims based on their recent form, while previous course winner Calcutta Dream is back on his last winning rating and is dangerous to underestimate in representing shrewd connections. However, LHEBAYEB, a track-and-trip winner off 3lb lower in March, is dependable at this sort of level and, having gone well from a high draw here before, the Richard Price-trained gelding looks worth another chance.
Prediction : 1st Lhebayeb 2nd Brinton 3rd Boujee Gold

Kensington Agent, Rapido Girl and Sibyl Charm all merit close inspection. However, ZIGGY'S QUEEN is an attractive proposition running off 12lb below her last winning mark and could be worth chancing after displaying signs of a revival when she finished a respectable fifth in a similar race at Haydock last month. If anything, this is a shade easier and this looks a good time to side with Richard Fahey's filly.
Prediction : 1st Ziggys Queen 2nd Kensington Agent 3rd Rapido Girl
