UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

ICE OPERA comfortably landed the spoils in a classified stakes over C&D on Friday and makes plenty of appeal on the quick turnaround. She's got a 5lb penalty to contend with but is still difficult to get away from with Billy Loughnane doing the steering. Eutropia and Blue Siam should also go well but the selection gets a confident vote in here.
Prediction : 1st Ice Opera 2nd Eutropia 3rd Blue Siam

AL BAAHY has been running well in defeat, not least at Newcastle most recently when third in this grade. He might not get many better opportunities than this and can strike at the expense of Star Of St Louis, a C&D winner who is interesting on his return to action. Boujee Gold also boasts previous winning track-and-trip form and could reward each-way support.
Prediction : 1st Al Baahy 2nd Star Of St Louis 3rd Boujee Gold

Alasrae is proving expensive to follow and was a beaten favourite again last time out when a neck second at Lingfield. Tried in a visor now, he cannot be overlooked but preference is for the less-exposed ARISHKA'S DREAM. Going back up in trip will suit and his penultimate effort here gives him every chance. Keep Adalida in mind as well.
Prediction : 1st Arishkas Dream 2nd Alasrae 3rd Adalida

ZOULU WARRIOR has been in fine fettle of late, with victories at Southwell and more recently over C&D. A 4lb higher mark looks workable for the four-year-old and a hat-trick may be on the cards. Brave Empire arrives on the back of a decent third at Newcastle and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of the upped-in-class Amerjeet.
Prediction : 1st Zoulu Warrior 2nd Brave Empire 3rd Amerjeet

Having posted a career-best performance when completing a double over C&D recently, Chifa is likely to be involved. However, a 3lb rise could be enough to thwart the veteran and preference is for ARANTES NASCIMENTO. Michael Attwater's inmate has filled the runner-up spot on his last two starts and compensation may be in the offing. Handicap debutant Lodge is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Arantes Nascimento 2nd Chifa 3rd Lodge

Given that most of these have questions to answer, the clear pick is HARDSTYLE after his victory at Lingfield last week. A 6lb penalty for that success should be workable as further improvement is likely. Blue Mountains was not disgraced when fourth on her latest outing and she could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Miss Ayala and Maynora.
Prediction : 1st Hardstyle 2nd Blue Mountains 3rd Miss Ayala

COLORS OF FREEDOM was narrowly denied when second at Wolverhampton on Friday and the six-year-old sets the standard on the back of that performance. A length back in third that day, Sultan Of Oj is an obvious danger as a first-time visor may spark some improvement. Master Dandy edges out Second Collection and Daley T to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Colors Of Freedom 2nd Sultan Of Oj 3rd Master Dandy
