UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Having secured a 16th career victory when making all over C&D last week, Harbour Vision merits respect. However, the veteran may have more difficulty dominating this field, with the hat-trick seeking HOW'S THE GUVNOR a more solid proposition. Jennie Candlish's inmate is only 3lb higher than for his ready triumph over track and trip and he looks a step ahead of the assessor. Secret Road is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hows The Guvnor 2nd Harbour Vision 3rd Secret Road

Although unable to land a blow when fourth as favourite at Newcastle, there is a sneaking suspicion that Betsen can score off his current rating. However, the five-year-old needs a strong pace to aim at and it may be worth chancing likely pacesetter DYRHOLAEY. Archie Watson's charge might get an easy time out in front and could outrun his odds. Coachello was a place behind Betsen last time and is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Dyrholaey 2nd Betsen 3rd Coachello

Sparksmith built on his opening Lingfield third when just denied at Chelmsford and debuting on Tapeta shouldn't prevent another good showing. Lovethiswayagain returned from a 182-day break to fill the runner-up spot at the Surrey venue recently and isn't taken lightly. However, HARLEQUIN BAY had a subsequent winner who is now rated 77 behind him when finding only one too good at Newcastle and Richard Fahey's colt shades the verdict.
Prediction : 1st Harlequin Bay 2nd Sparksmith 3rd Lovethiswayagain

Although SKYCUTTER let favourite-backers down at Southwell, his third was still a big improvement on what he had shown in other recent starts. The eight-year-old isn't the most reliable but a race of this nature should be well within his compass, not least because he's been rated much higher in the past. Chelmsford victor Captain Robert merits consideration, as does veteran Billy Bathgate, and Prince Quattro is well worth a second look too.
Prediction : 1st Skycutter 2nd Captain Robert 3rd Billy Bathgate

EUPATOR followed up on a recent course win with a C&D success that was equally as impressive and, just as was the case last week, the 5lb penalty might not be enough to stop him. Towerlands has held his form since completing a hat-trick, although he may need the handicapper to relent for now so the class-dropping Urban Road is of greater interest.
Prediction : 1st Eupator 2nd Urban Road 3rd Towerlands

Far Too Fizzy had been threatening to win for weeks prior to his recent Lingfield romp, but a 10lb rise will ask more of him at this higher level and it is GREY HORIZON who shades preference. Scott Dixon's charge completed a hat-trick here last week and a 6lb penalty should not prevent another bold bid. Whizzy Dizzy failed to see out 6f on her latest start so may fare better back at the minimum trip.
Prediction : 1st Grey Horizon 2nd Far Too Fizzy 3rd Whizzy Dizzy

With many of these having the potential to find improvement, only a tentative vote can go to BERGAMO GOLD. The daughter of Ten Sovereigns has slowly been getting the hang of things since making her debut in August, but she enters handicaps from a potentially workable mark and a step up in trip should help. Popty Ping didn't give her true running at Southwell and the otherwise consistent filly merits respect. Flying Macs is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Bergamo Gold 2nd Popty Ping 3rd Flying Macs
