UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

BOMB SQUAD was only beaten a short-head into second over C&D last week and the eight-year-old merits the utmost respect off the same mark on this occasion. Mighty Ruler could not follow up his Lingfield success when fourth at the same venue last time but he should not be discounted. Others who make the shortlist are Amaysmont, Believe In Lies and Pessoa.
Prediction : 1st Bomb Squad 2nd Mighty Ruler 3rd Amaysmont

Utmost Good Faith won well over a mile at Kempton last month but a 10lb rise for that success has to be a slight concern. As a result, preference is for HORWICH, who has won both previous starts and an opening mark of 77 may underestimate him on his handicap debut. The recent Southwell second Dagger Strike is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Horwich 2nd Utmost Good Faith 3rd Dagger Strike

BLUE DEVERON displayed plenty of promise when finishing a neck second on his racecourse bow over 5f at Southwell 10 days ago. With the benefit of that experience, James Tate's gelding can go one better here. Timescape was second to a talented rival when last seen in October 2024 and she should not be underestimated on her return. Cases can be made for all of the rest, but Alvin is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Blue Deveron 2nd Timescape 3rd Alvin

Hint Of Humour has been in the mix since scoring here in November and another good effort looks on the cards. She's preferred to Thecoffeepoddotco, who has been raised 4lb for winning at Lingfield, but it could be the turn of ALONDRA. The latter was having her first start for Scott Dixon when third at Newcastle in December and she looks a solid option.
Prediction : 1st Alondra 2nd Hint Of Humour 3rd Thecoffeepoddotco

BELLE AMIE was beaten only a neck at Southwell in October, when last seen competing over this distance. Switched to David Simcock's in-form yard subsequently, the daughter of Belardo is taken to make the most of this drop into classified company and open her account. Resilient Lady may also improve at this lower level, while The Pug could prove pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Belle Amie 2nd Resilient Lady 3rd The Pug

STARFIGHTER has won five times at this venue and just missed out when denied by only a head here a fortnight ago. The veteran may not have finished winning yet on that evidence, and can go one better with Billy Loughnane in the plate once again. Nakatomi showed some improvement in first-time blinkers last time and could finish thereabouts, while Spaceage Love Song placed in similar company at Chelmsford last month.
Prediction : 1st Starfighter 2nd Nakatomi 3rd Spaceage Love Song

Beauzon will attract plenty of support and rightly so given he's in good nick chasing a three-timer. Piperstown is another C&D winner to consider closely, but a tentative vote is for PORFIN. He likes it here and can be forgiven one moderate effort at Kempton last time now switching to the Midlands venue. She Went Whoosh is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Porfin 2nd Beauzon 3rd Piperstown

Sisters In The Sky won narrowly over C&D last time out and a win for Porfin in the previous race on this card would give that form a timely boost. Nordic Glory was a length behind in fourth that day and is another to take seriously, but it might not be too long before SOME NIGHTMARE wins a race like this judged on his recent performances.
Prediction : 1st Some Nightmare 2nd Sisters In The Sky 3rd Nordic Glory

MY GENGHIS might prove tough to beat in the finale. A comfortable winner here last week in a handicap, the seven-year-old has to concede weight all round but that form reads well in the context of this classified stakes race. Sir Benedict has been running well without winning and could hit the frame, while Colors Of Freedom is also of interest.
Prediction : 1st My Genghis 2nd Sir Benedict 3rd Colors Of Freedom
