UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

An eyecatcher when running on well for third over C&D last time out, LE PELERIN remains on the same mark and he is taken to break the maiden at the eighth time of asking. A winner of two of his last three starts, including by 16 lengths at Ffos Las recently, the penalised Zambezi Magic must enter calculations on the switch to the all-weather. The in-form Volto Di Medusa may improve for this distance having been second over shorter here last month.
Prediction : 1st Le Pelerin 2nd Zambezi Magic 3rd Volto Di Medusa

A major improver from his first to his second appearance when only beaten a neck at Southwell, MC MOAN is entitled to progress further and he can strike with Billy Loughnane taking over in the saddle. Not beaten far over 6f here on his return from the sidelines and first start after wind surgery, Brakeman looks set to give another strong account of himself. An experienced sort who has been placed in three of his six starts, Valley Ofthe Kings cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Mc Moan 2nd Brakeman 3rd Valley Ofthe Kings

Now that the penny has dropped for HENRYTHENATE after a comfortable success over C&D, there is likely to be plenty more improvement forthcoming from the son of Mayson and he can follow up off 6lb higher. Guernsey Angel beat Mwaki over track and trip but the runner-up may reverse that form, courtesy of a 2lb pull for half a length.
Prediction : 1st Henrythenate 2nd Mwaki 3rd Guernsey Angel

MISS LADY GRACE took a step forward when narrowly beaten by an odds-on favourite at Beverley, with the rest of the field well beaten. The daughter of Space Blues looks likely to launch another strong challenge with further improvement a distinct possibility. On Message failed to see out the mile at Sandown but cannot be ruled out back over 7f, while Khafar steps up in distance and could get involved if settling better.
Prediction : 1st Miss Lady Grace 2nd On Message 3rd Khafar

STAR OF ATLANTIS overcame a tardy start to finish a creditable third here a fortnight ago. She's reunited with Billy Loughnane for the first time since scoring here in May and it could be her turn again. Blue Empress remains without a victory, but drops in class with a shout off her tumbling mark. Embarked could prove competitive having finished runner-up here last month.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Atlantis 2nd Blue Empress 3rd Embarked

MY CLEMENTINE responded well to a strong challenge from the eventual runner-up at Chepstow to win a shade cosily in the end. Unexposed on the all-weather, a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid from Adrian Wintle's filly. Homme De Fer posted his best effort so far when fourth at Lingfield and has plenty of scope, while Invincible Love is not without a chance and could make the frame.
Prediction : 1st My Clementine 2nd Homme De Fer 3rd Invincible Love

Neoma was able to exploit an ease in class to score over C&D a fortnight ago but although respected from 6lb higher, she will need to prove herself back in stronger company. With that in mind, preference is for HIGH COURT JUDGE. Things didn't work out for him over hurdles latest but he's certain to relish a return to the level, particularly an artificial surface, and he can supplement August's Lingfield triumph. Others to note include Venezuelan and Antelope.
Prediction : 1st High Court Judge 2nd Neoma 3rd Venezuelan

It is difficult to oppose SNEAKY BLINDER, who came home best of all to record a comfortable success over C&D last month. Robert Stephens' gelding has been raised 4lb but given that he's completely unexposed over this marathon trip, it could prove lenient. Lumberjack almost sprung a surprise when beaten a head here last time out. He won't be far away if able to produce a similar effort, although Alan King's Bedford, who has his second start following wind surgery, could be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Sneaky Blinder 2nd Bedford 3rd Lumberjack

This doesn't look the easiest to unpick and only a tentative vote can go to SECONDS COUNT. The daughter of Time Test failed to threaten on her handicap bow, but it was an encouraging performance nonetheless. She's 2lb lower and, with less to prove than some of these rivals, any further improvement should bring her firmly into the reckoning. The consistent Amber Honey is likely to be thereabouts, along with El Fox, who could benefit from a drop in trip.
Prediction : 1st Seconds Count 2nd Amber Honey 3rd El Fox
