UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Although STAR MARIAN failed to supplement her opening sixth in a class 2 event at Chester when only fifth at Catterick later in May, the softer ground conditions may have counted against her. The daughter of A'Ali may appreciate a switch to Tapeta and a breakthrough victory could be on the cards. Richard Hughes has his string in good order at present and his representative Rose Of Spain requires a market check on debut, while Bold Return is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Star Marian 2nd Rose Of Spain 3rd Bold Return

Booziebrunch built on his fourth-placed debut at Yarmouth when staying on into third over 6f here earlier this month. An extra furlong is likely to suit the son of Coulsty, but he will have his work cut out to repel TIME TO TURN. Charlie Appleby's colt has filled the runner-up spot in deeper company on both outings to date and a similar performance should enable some compensation. Inclusive is the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Time To Turn 2nd Booziebrunch 3rd Inclusive

Having posted a close-up third on his seasonal bow at Lingfield 23 days ago, any improvement could see PICKERING CASTLE open his account. The Cityscape gelding boasts a recent run over chief rivals Ottawa and Impulse Buy, which may prove crucial. Joseph Parr's colt finished last season's campaign with a good second at Kempton and he's feared most, although the betting market may prove telling.
Prediction : 1st Pickering Castle 2nd Ottawa 3rd Impulse Buy

A comfortable winner over C&D last October, SCARBOROUGHWARNING has run with plenty of credit since and a mark of 79 still looks manageable for the daughter of Harry Angel. The unexposed Crestofdistinction has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate victory at Kempton, while the capable Stanley Spencer is another to consider for in-form connections. Desert Champion, Our Planet and Peter The Wolf complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Scarboroughwarning 2nd Crestofdistinction 3rd Stanley Spencer

Runner-up on two of his last three starts, including last time out at Kempton, HELLO ZAMAN narrowly sets the standard on recent form and he can return to winning ways with William Buick taking over in the saddle. Noble Victory had Don Pacifico (fourth) behind when third at Southwell in April and both are entitled to be thereabouts again, while Nazuki is another to note having won two of her four outings to date.
Prediction : 1st Hello Zaman 2nd Noble Victory 3rd Don Pacifico

HENERY HAWK resumed winning ways in a classified contest over C&D last time. Linda Perratt's charge has a hike in the weights to contend with, but has won off this mark and higher in the past and looks worth sticking with. Colors Of Freedom is well treated if rediscovering her best form, having won here last autumn, while Notre Maison returns to this lower grade with a shout.
Prediction : 1st Henery Hawk 2nd Colors Of Freedom 3rd Notre Maison

Advertorial won here in April, but she found one too good off her new mark back at the track last week, and THIS TIME MAYBE is marginally preferred. Mark Usher's charge also scored over C&D back in April and has gone close at Southwell subsequently. He returns to the Tapeta with solid claims on that form. Trusty Scout is usually in the mix at this level and makes most appeal of the rest.
Prediction : 1st This Time Maybe 2nd Advertorial 3rd Trusty Scout
