UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

The fact trainer Michael O'Callaghan sends a costly newcomer across the water says a lot, and NINTH CRUSADE looks bred to get the job done, with his dam being a half-sister to a triple-Listed winner on the all-weather. Comic Strip is another debutant to note, although he may want further in time based on his pedigree. Sunny Smile looks best of those with experience following a creditable effort on debut at Ayr last month.
Prediction : 1st Ninth Crusade 2nd Comic Strip 3rd Sunny Smile

PEREGRINE FALCON has done well since joining the Patrick Morris yard and stepping back up to 6f could be just what is needed as she looks to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking. The booking of Billy Loughnane is significant and she is preferred to Azure Zain, who had the reopposing Mister Invincible (fifth) not far behind when fourth over C&D last month.
Prediction : 1st Peregrine Falcon 2nd Azure Zain 3rd Mister Invincible

EDUCATE was value for more than the winning margin of half-a-length when seeing off Pysanka (second) over C&D in April, and a 7lb turn at the weights may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. Now that the penny has dropped for Emaculate Soldier after a determined success over further here last time out, there may be more to come from the five-year-old off just 2lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Educate 2nd Pysanka 3rd Emaculate Soldier

Although unable to justify cramped odds when runner-up at Brighton recently, a reproduction could see ANGLESEY LAD gaining a belated first career triumph. The son of Kodi Bear has performed with credit at Dunstall Park before and edges the vote over reopposing third Second Collection. Tony Carroll's mare has posted several creditable efforts in defeat in recent months and isn't taken lightly. Bankrupt is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Anglesey Lad 2nd Second Collection 3rd Bankrupt

HIJO DE LA LUNA was far from disgraced when finishing third over hurdles at Southwell last month and this step into classified company could prove fruitful. Simon West's gelding had previously posted some respectable efforts in handicap level on the all-weather and rates as the one to beat. The biggest threat may emerge from Pending Appeal, who should find this easier than her latest sixth in a handicap at Yarmouth, ahead of Trusty Scout.
Prediction : 1st Hijo De La Luna 2nd Pending Appeal 3rd Trusty Scout

ANIFICAS BEAUTY has won races back-to-back before and with this appearing to be an easier assignment than the handicap she won at Pontefract most recently, the Peter Winks-trained mare is hard to oppose. Sir Laurence Graff also rates a key player in this modest company, while Rampant has posted good efforts in defeat on Tapeta elsewhere and warrants a betting check on his first career start at Dunstall Park.
Prediction : 1st Anificas Beauty 2nd Sir Laurence Graff 3rd Rampant

With this being just her third start in handicap, YESTERDAY'S GONE appeals the most in a race where all seven entrants something to prove. After an improved effort when third in a similar race at Carlisle, her connections play a shrewd hand with Joe Bradnam utilising a 7lb claim. Blue Train boasts some convincing recent form and is respected accordingly, while Pretty Spirited, who posted her best effort so far on Southwell's Tapeta two starts ago, is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Yesterdays Gone 2nd Blue Train 3rd Pretty Spirited
