UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

THE CARIBBEAN bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over track and trip in October and, despite having a 3lb higher mark to contend with, he could be the one to beat. Straight A occupied the runner-up berth here last month and his chance is there for all to see. Of the remainder, Dapper Gee Gee makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st The Caribbean 2nd Straight A 3rd Dapper Gee Gee

Beckon showed ability when fourth over a mile on her introduction at Kempton and shouldn't have any problems dropping a furlong in trip. Hamdania has Rossa Ryan booked on debut and warrants a market check, but it may pay to side with GALILEO CHARM. Runner-up on two of her three starts, Marco Botti's filly now sports first-time blinkers which could eke out the improvement required to shed her maiden tag.
Prediction : 1st Galileo Charm 2nd Beckon 3rd Hamdania

Winless in three appearances, Archers Bay might be flattered by an official rating of 88 and, for that reason, AFFETTUOSO gets the vote. Roger Varian's colt finished last of five on debut at Doncaster but could prove a different proposition up in trip because he possesses plenty of stamina in his pedigree. With that experience under his belt, it would be no surprise to see him take a big step forward. Koala Rose cost 110,000 euros as a yearling and is one to watch in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Affettuoso 2nd Archers Bay 3rd Koala Rose

R P Mcmurphy will be winning soon off his current mark on the evidence of his recent placed efforts at Southwell, but a chance is taken on QUICK AWAY. The latter won a couple of classified races over C&D at the start of the year and winning partner Rossa Ryan is back on board for her reappearance. Penny Ghent and Saved Lizzie also warrant respect.
Prediction : 1st Quick Away 2nd R P Mcmurphy 3rd Penny Ghent

Tribal Wisdom arrives in fine fettle having scored at Southwell three starts ago and then again over C&D last time. Borgi is usually in the mix at this level and could have a say in proceedings, but preference is for ZRYAN. David O'Meara's charge went agonisingly close when runner-up in a more competitive contest here last month and the son of Night Of Thunder could prove the one to beat with a similar effort.
Prediction : 1st Zryan 2nd Tribal Wisdom 3rd Borgi

BILLY BATHGATE will likely prove competitive having won over a similar distance at Newcastle in September and he finished runner-up in an amateur riders' race at Southwell 10 days ago. He had Zooks back in third on that occasion, though the latter may finish closer this time with Billy Loughnane taking over the reins, while Doddington Guy has more scope than most and this longer trip could suit.
Prediction : 1st Billy Bathgate 2nd Zooks 3rd Doddington Guy

THREE YORKSHIREMEN was eased down to win over C&D last month and should have too much for these rivals if he arrives in the same form. So Alex also won over track and trip latest and is interesting given his unexposed profile, so is put forward as the main danger. Of the others, keep a close eye on Hackney Diamonds.
Prediction : 1st Three Yorkshiremen 2nd So Alex 3rd Hackney Diamonds

Gilt Edge was back to form last time out when scoring over C&D and she should be in the mix again. However, WOODHAY WHISPER has the bit between her teeth at the moment and can continue her good run following a neck defeat here last week. Those looking for a bit of each-way value should consider Profit Street and Under Curfew.
Prediction : 1st Woodhay Whisper 2nd Gilt Edge 3rd Under Curfew

Havana Club won well here over 7f on Monday but isn't certain to back that performance up over a furlong shorter and with a 6lb penalty. With that in mind, I CAN IMAGINE could be the one as she shaped as though the extra furlong would really suit when finishing a never-nearer third over the minimum trip here on the same card earlier this week. Call Glory completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st I Can Imagine 2nd Havana Club 3rd Call Glory
