UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

STRATUSNINE won over 6f here on only his second outing of the year. He's been raised 8lb for that convincing success but, given he finished second in a valuable sales race over 7f at York last term, Hugo Palmer's unexposed charge could have plenty more to offer over today's trip. Flag Of St George and Legal Reform are old foes with the former coming out best of that pair when second at Lingfield last time, while the in-form Tribal Wisdom is not out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Stratusnine 2nd Flag Of St George 3rd Tribal Wisdom

Sovereign Wealth looks a shade high in the weights on the evidence of his recent placed efforts on the Polytrack. That could swing things the way of HEART BEATS TRUE, who may well prove better than her opening mark having returned the impressive winner in novice company at Southwell last month. Sovereign Ocean was set a stiff task in the Acomb at York in August and this could prove more his level.
Prediction : 1st Heart Beats True 2nd Sovereign Wealth 3rd Sovereign Ocean

The narrow winner at Newcastle recently, Dolos Dream faces a tougher test under her penalty. She's still preferred to Carlisle runner-up She's Divine and the frustrating Green Dame, but it could pay to take a chance on HARMONISED. The Night Of Thunder filly missed the break and failed to get a clear run when fourth at Southwell on debut, and a bold bid is anticipated here with normal luck in-running.
Prediction : 1st Harmonised 2nd Dolos Dream 3rd Shes Divine

Successful in three of his last four starts, Hint Of Humour rates a serious player, while Lazzar got off the mark in a novice event at Lingfield most recently and can figure back in a handicap from a feasible rating. Level Up and Beaumadier also merit consideration based on peak form. However, preference is for EL BUFALO, a previous C&D winner that hinted at a revival on his latest start. He looks worth chancing cutting back to the minimum trip from 3lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st El Bufalo 2nd Hint Of Humour 3rd Lazzar

AEOLIAN was apprentice ridden when she got off the mark on her all-weather debut at Kempton last month. However, the daughter of Fastnet Rock could be progressive enough to cope with a 7lb higher mark if she handles switching to Tapeta, with Cieren Fallon taking over in the saddle. The in-form King's Code is proven on the surface and can make this a good test for the William Haggas-trained filly along with Brasil Power, despite going up 4lb for last week's win at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st Aeolian 2nd Kings Code 3rd Brasil Power

Conor Orr has shown composure in the saddle by delivering MARIS ANGEL to win her last four starts by narrow margins and the inevitable step up in class might not be enough to prevent the winning sequence from being extended. Court Drive (second) was less then a length behind the selection over C&D earlier this month and is a big danger armed with a 3lb pull. Lady Wingalong wasn't far away in third in that race and is another key player with Billy Loughnane booked to ride.
Prediction : 1st Maris Angel 2nd Court Drive 3rd Lady Wingalong

Parlando landed a gamble at Chelmsford recently and given that he remains well treated under a penalty, is entitled to plenty of respect. However, the vote goes to ZRYAN. David O'Meara's gelding was a comfortable winner over C&D latest and is completely unexposed at the trip, so a 3lb rise could be lenient. Unassuming was far from disgraced in a London Mile Series Qualifier at Kempton recently and is another that must enter calculations.
Prediction : 1st Zryan 2nd Parlando 3rd Unassuming

SILKIES SIB made a low-key stable debut at Southwell but offered some encouragement at Lingfield next time. James Owen's charge is thrown in based on what he achieved in Ireland and, although not the most reliable, the Newmarket-handler has shown an aptitude with similar types in the past. Southwell scorer Hackney Diamonds must shoulder a 6lb penalty but is respected nonetheless, as is Fifty Sent, who finished a creditable third over C&D last time.
Prediction : 1st Silkies Sib 2nd Hackney Diamonds 3rd Fifty Sent

The could be a fine opportunity for GALAXY WONDER, who shaped with real promise over 7f on his stable debut. Tony Carroll's new recruit looks certain to relish a step up in trip on that evidence and could be too strong for the class-dropping Law Supreme. Rampant has been running well in defeat of late and is expected to make his presence felt again.
Prediction : 1st Galaxy Wonder 2nd Law Supreme 3rd Rampant
