UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

VERY MINDFUL failed to help her cause when rearing at the start here last time. She recovered to finish runner-up, albeit a long way behind the winner, but the daughter of Havana Gold may improve with cheekpieces applied for the first time and gets another chance. Gillali Lass is a likely improver having shown ability when fourth at Beverley on her introduction. Flowerhead and Flying Macs are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Very Mindful 2nd Gillali Lass 3rd Flowerhead

CHILLI QUEEN was no match for an odds-on favourite when second over 1m3f at Kempton, but she appears to have an easier opportunity in this company. Emma Lavelle's charge was doing her best work in the closing stages on that occasion, so this extra furlong will likely bring further progress. The returning Pure Theory could also improve for this longer trip, while newcomer Coedana is worthy of a second glance.
Prediction : 1st Chilli Queen 2nd Pure Theory 3rd Coedana

King Kernow finished a respectable second here on last month's reappearance and another good effort looks assured. However, the winner of that race was subsequently beaten over 1m4f at Kempton by SCARLET MOON, and the latter makes more appeal. Archie Watson's charge came out best in a fight to the line and gave the strong impression this extra test of stamina would suit. Ray Gun is preferred to Moonlit Stage.
Prediction : 1st Scarlet Moon 2nd King Kernow 3rd Ray Gun

Serious Look won for the first time since September 2022 over C&D last month and, with Rab Havlin keeping the ride, he can go well, despite an added 5lb. Pocket Too makes his handicap debut after finding everything happening too quickly over 7f at Southwell and he could be interesting back up in trip, but GUINNESS LAD might have the edge. Slowly away at Windsor, he did well to come home second and, off the same mark, a decent start may be all he needs.
Prediction : 1st Guinness Lad 2nd Serious Look 3rd Pocket Too

Pessoa has a good record here with five victories over shorter, but he is yet to score over this trip and might have to settle for a place. SNOOZE LANE has won four of his 31 starts, three of them over C&D and all off higher marks, and he may make it five back up in distance to put a poor ninth in February behind him. Desert Raider was a neck second at Newcastle recently and could get involved if he stays this far at the first attempt.
Prediction : 1st Snooze Lane 2nd Pessoa 3rd Desert Raider

Dumfries bounced back to form when going in at Thirsk a few weeks ago and he has to be noted once again, despite a 3lb rise. That said, marginal preference is for AL SHABAB, who was second off this mark when last seen at Southwell in January. Recent Newcastle third Rogue Thunder edges out Vitalline to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Al Shabab 2nd Dumfries 3rd Rogue Thunder

HAAF A DIAMOND showed more when fourth at Beverley last time and a repeat of that performance would give her a big chance off a 3lb lower mark here. Capallcliste has not been disgraced on his last couple of starts in classified company and he should not be underestimated. Others to note are Star Of Atlantis, Beautiful Dawn and Hellavapace.
Prediction : 1st Haaf A Diamond 2nd Capallcliste 3rd Star Of Atlantis
