UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Clive Cox has sent out three winners from 22 attempts on the all-weather for his juveniles this year and newcomer Horwich will be hoping to add to that tally, but it might be a tough ask to get the better of VARIETY ACT. The son of Lope De Vega did everything right but win when beaten a neck into second on his introduction at Chelmsford and, with that experience under his belt, he is tough to oppose. Bergamo Gold is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Variety Act 2nd Horwich 3rd Bergamo Gold

The in-form Electric Avenue finished a creditable second over track and trip on her latest outing and has to be considered off the same mark. C&D winner Lady Wingalong is also respected, but BELLA BISBEE made the perfect start for the Scott Dixon yard over course-and-distance last week and a similar display would make her very difficult to beat, despite her 5lb penalty.
Prediction : 1st Bella Bisbee 2nd Electric Avenue 3rd Lady Wingalong

Thanh Nam accounted for AKRIVOS by just under three lengths over a mile at Chelmsford last time, but competes off less favourable terms and the extra furlong might just benefit Ian Williams' youngster. Furthermore, this is only his second appearance in a nursery and the son of Blue Point could have more to offer. Keep a close eye on the market for Blue Mountains with Marco Ghiani booked.
Prediction : 1st Akrivos 2nd Thanh Nam 3rd Blue Mountains

Military Cross has had plenty of chances now and this frustrating gelding might have to settle for second again, behind SIOUXFONIC. A bumper winner at Sedgefield, James Owen's charge finished a neck second at Southwell on his first start on the Flat last month - suggesting this extra furlong would really suit. Caliban is best of the rest in this maiden.
Prediction : 1st Siouxfonic 2nd Military Cross 3rd Caliban

ALLIGATOR ALLEY is difficult to oppose. He has the bit between his teeth at the moment and confirmed the Southwell form with Cloud King when recording a double at Chelmsford recently. The quick turnaround suggests he's come out of that race in good nick and Ruth Carr's gelding can carry a 4lb penalty to success to round out the hat-trick in style. Secret Mistral and Master Of My Fate are next best.
Prediction : 1st Alligator Alley 2nd Secret Mistral 3rd Master Of My Fate

Lingfield scorer Fascinating Shadow boasts every chance despite the burden of top-weight, while C&D scorer Sneaky Blinder will no doubt prove popular with punters as well. However, it could be worth chancing BREAK POINT at the opposite end of the weights as he produced a really promising second-placed effort when back on the Flat here last time. The step up in trip is an interesting angle.
Prediction : 1st Break Point 2nd Fascinating Shadow 3rd Sneaky Blinder

MONTY BEAU has shaped with a good bit of promise in three maiden/novice runs so far and could be well treated off 72 now sent handicapping for the first time for a shrewd yard. The extra furlong could unlock some improvement too and he gets the nod ahead of Serious Look, who has the proven course form in the book. Dandy G Boy is next best.
Prediction : 1st Monty Beau 2nd Serious Look 3rd Dandy G Boy

FLIGHTOFTHEPHOENIX could be the one to side with. She wasn't at her best here last time, but it could be worth forgiving her one lacklustre run because her previous efforts at Chelmsford and Kempton were really solid. Barry's Boy has performed well in defeat in a couple of starts since switching to the all-weather, while I Am Me is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Flightofthephoenix 2nd Barrys Boy 3rd I Am Me

A trappy finale for punters to solve and STATE OF MADNESS just edges it. He hasn't finished outside of the first two home in each of his last four starts, which includes three wins, and it was encouraging that he was able to transfer his good turf form back to the all-weather when scoring at Newcastle latest. You can make cases for several of the others, but Ziggy's Condor and Mumayaz are the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st State Of Madness 2nd Ziggys Condor 3rd Mumayaz
