UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

EXOTIC BABY has progressed with each of his three starts, most recently finishing third under a penalty at Kempton. George Boughey's youngster makes his nursery bow off a workable rating of 86 and looks the way to go. Bone Marra finished last of three at Leicester in August but he is a course winner and sports a first-time tongue-tie, which may bring about improvement. Balthamos looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Exotic Baby 2nd Bone Marra 3rd Balthamos

Francesco Baracca returned to winning ways over an extended 2m at this track recently and is considered, despite being 4lb higher. Artisan Dancer takes a drop in grade and is noted, but DIAMOND BAY might be the one. Tom Ward's seven-year-old bounced back to form when hitting the woodwork here and the handicapper might have let him off lightly with just a 1lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Diamond Bay 2nd Francesco Baracca 3rd Artisan Dancer

Silvery took a sizeable step forward to account for ZIGHY by half a length at Yarmouth in September, but is now 7lb worse off. Therefore, it would be no surprise to see George Boughey's filly turn the tables on her rival and get off the mark at the fifth time of asking. Victress is a half-sister to useful sprinter Fast Track Harry and goes for a yard that knows how to ready one first time out so she needs to be monitored in the market.
Prediction : 1st Zighy 2nd Silvery 3rd Victress

The in-form Clearpoint has to be respected now searching for a hat-trick, but a 5lb penalty is a concern. As a result, preference is for ATOMIC FORCE, who showed plenty of pace when fifth on his second start since returning from Hong Kong over 6f here last month. This drop in trip should suit and he may have some improvement left to come. Others to note are Solar Edge, Ruby's Profit and Vintage Clarets.
Prediction : 1st Atomic Force 2nd Clearpoint 3rd Solar Edge

Ranga Tang is the pick of those with experience, but the level he sets is not very high and preference is for QARREEB. Ed Walker's colt is a half-brother to the Listed winner and Group 1-placed Sounds Of Heaven and the son of Dubawi could make a successful debut. Heyzoom is closely related to Pretty Polly winner Falakeyah and has to be noted, while Director's Cut and Sahara King complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Qarreeb 2nd Heyzoom 3rd Ranga Tang

PATONTHEBACK bounced back to form when a head second at Redcar three weeks ago and given that the third from that contest has won since, Gemma Tutty's gelding makes plenty of appeal off just a 1lb higher mark. Noisy Music has occupied the runner-up berth on both starts since winning over C&D in August and she edges out South Dakota Sioux and Chifa to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Patontheback 2nd Noisy Music 3rd South Dakota Sioux

RAINWATER clearly wasn't at his best at Hamilton in July and has been given plenty of time to recover. Richard Fahey's gelding remains on a fair mark and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. Rating is likely to be competitive following a brace of placed efforts at Bath, while others to consider are Fools Rush In and Romanovich.
Prediction : 1st Rainwater 2nd Rating 3rd Fools Rush In

BEAUMADIER has kept up a consistent level of form since July and the five-year-old has a fine opportunity to get his head back in front following his recent second at Southwell. Jungle Dance is worth another chance having gone off too quick when last seen here in September. Call Time and Kakarotto can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Beaumadier 2nd Jungle Dance 3rd Call Time

The return to the all-weather saw a change in fortune for INVITED as he dug deep to score at Lingfield in August. George Boughey's gelding is unbeaten on artificial surfaces since breaking the maiden tag at Southwell in January and a 4lb rise doesn't look insurmountable. City Of Poets went close at Lingfield last time and enters calculations, while Silver Sword is 2lb lower than a decent effort at York on his penultimate start.
Prediction : 1st Invited 2nd City Of Poets 3rd Silver Sword
