UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

RAFFLES ANGEL regained the winning thread at Haydock a fortnight ago and might not be done improving yet. Charlie Johnston's Catterick scorer Chuti Manika has a light weight and must be respected given he too could still have more to offer. Intervention is no stranger to success at this venue and joins course runner-up Stanley Spencer on the shortlist for the opener.
Prediction : 1st Raffles Angel 2nd Chuti Manika 3rd Stanley Spencer

LOVING APPRENTICE could hardly have been more impressive at Lingfield nine days ago when scoring by five lengths. Now back on track and given she's open to more improvement, a 6lb penalty might not be enough to anchor her. At the other end of the weights, Miraculous won well at Chester latest and represents a top stable, while Sudden Flight makes some each-way appeal.
Prediction : 1st Loving Apprentice 2nd Miraculous 3rd Sudden Flight

LONDONOFFICECALLIN makes a lot of appeal. The Irish raider has won his last three starts in this sphere and was also seen scoring over hurdles at Punchestown last month. La Pulga bolted up at Newcastle last Saturday and should go well if coping with the quick turnaround and 5lb penalty, while Gallant Lion may reward some each-way support in a competitive handicap.
Prediction : 1st Londonofficecallin 2nd La Pulga 3rd Gallant Lion

Al Shabab Storm was too bad to be true when coming home in last in a Listed event at Doncaster in March and he must enter calculations reverting to handicap company with Jack Nicholls claiming a handy 7lb. Regardless, WILLEM TWEE arrives on the back of a decent third at Newcastle and, off an unchanged mark, a sixth career victory could be in the offing. Queen's Guard is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st Willem Twee 2nd Al Shabab Storm 3rd Queens Guard

Having improved for a step up in distance when landing the spoils at Redcar recently, DOUBLE PARKED should have more to come beyond 1m. A 2lb rise in the ratings for Tim Easterby's charge could prove lenient and he gets the vote ahead of Palio Di Siena. The son of Sioux Nation has filled the runner-up spot on all three outings so far and an opening mark of 76 looks fair. Love Is The Law is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Double Parked 2nd Palio Di Siena 3rd Love Is The Law

Runner-up on each of his last three starts, BELIEVE THE STORM deserves a change in luck and can get that at a track where he scored on debut last December. A mark of 88 still looks manageable and he is preferred to Doncaster winner Sterling Knight, as well as Hickory, who was an unlucky third last week at Ascot when slowly away and not getting a clear run at a crucial stage.
Prediction : 1st Believe The Storm 2nd Sterling Knight 3rd Hickory

Now that the penny has dropped for FOX AVATAR after a comfortable success at Chelmsford last time out, Roger Varian's charge is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can follow up off 6lb higher. Runner-up on his last two starts, Londoner is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as Immediate Effect, who was narrowly denied over shorter at Redcar recently.
Prediction : 1st Fox Avatar 2nd Londoner 3rd Immediate Effect
