UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

R P MCMURPHY's progress had begun to stall but he got back into the winning groove over C&D last month and can defy a 5lb rise in the handicap en route to further success. The main threat is Age Of Time, who sports first-time blinkers following a good second at Kempton. Antiquity and King Of Speed are both more than capable too.
Prediction : 1st R P Mcmurphy 2nd Age Of Time 3rd Antiquity

Dash Power (second) and Captain Pickles (winner) are closely matched from their recent course meeting and both should go well again here, but LHEBAYEB gets the nod. Richard Price's charge kept on well into third here a fortnight ago and this additional yardage might see her to greater effect. Newfire and Chourmo are a couple of others to consider closely.
Prediction : 1st Lhebayeb 2nd Dash Power 3rd Captain Pickles

ARTANIS chased home a few useful rivals on the turf last season and, provided she's ready to roll following a 224-day absence, the daughter of Showcasing should take all of the beating. Miss Lady Grace boasts an official rating of 73 and should run her race despite needing more to come out on top, while Love Love Love is likely to fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Artanis 2nd Miss Lady Grace 3rd Love Love Love

DIAMONDONTHEHILL has finished in front of Follow Your Heart twice since the turn of the year and is readily fancied to confirm superiority from an unchanged mark. Given that Al Muqdad has something to find with those two based on last month's C&D encounter, recent Kempton winner City Cyclone is a more appealing alternative. Although not particularly well handicapped, he is a four-time track-and-trip winner that should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Diamondonthehill 2nd City Cyclone 3rd Follow Your Heart

AL NAJASHI made it two from two in handicaps with an emphatic Lingfield success six days ago and has a major chance of completing the hat-trick. Given that he is 10lb well-in today, Ollie Sangster's progressive three-year-old is impossible to ignore. South Coast Star is interesting stepping out of maiden/novice company for the first time and may provide some value for the forecast slot, while Tafah and Ar Diddy Dum Dum make each-way appeal following improved efforts.
Prediction : 1st Al Najashi 2nd South Coast Star 3rd Tafah

The hat-trick seeking El Bufalo warrants respect in his current vein of form, while a 5lb penalty shouldn't prevent another bold showing from recent C&D winner Alondra. However, the pair may be thwarted by SAM'S XPRESS, who was only reeled in late on having set a fast pace at Lingfield last month. A 1lb higher mark looks workable for the six-year-old and he's taken to regain the winning thread.
Prediction : 1st Sams Xpress 2nd El Bufalo 3rd Alondra

SULTAN OF OJ looked to improve a touch when runner-up in a similar contest over C&D last time out. A retained visor may be key for the four-year-old and a belated breakthrough victory could beckon. Stroxx hit the frame at Newcastle 20 days ago, although he might have been flattered, so a bigger threat may emerge from My Genghis, who was denied a clear passage when a beaten favourite here on Monday.
Prediction : 1st Sultan Of Oj 2nd Stroxx 3rd My Genghis
