UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Extraterrestrial took a step forward when third at Kempton and an opening mark of 70 seems fair enough. That being said, he faces a stiff task considering all four of his rivals won last time out and preference is for ANEIRIN'S SWORD. Jamie Osborne's gelding has been very consistent since the turn of the year and the extra yardage after scoring here last month promises to suit. My Champion completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Aneirins Sword 2nd Extraterrestrial 3rd My Champion

TUBA's last success came over C&D in December and the five-year-old is fancied to bounce back from his latest start at Chelmsford where he weakened quickly. This isn't a strong contest for the grade and he gets the vote at the expense of Wasthatok, who returns to the level after a spell jumping during the winter. Prince Quattro appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Tuba 2nd Wasthatok 3rd Prince Quattro

GEMINI MAN returned to the Flat when getting up in the final strides here towards the end of last month and the step up to 1m4f promises to yield improvement from Iain Jardine's gelding. Virtual Hug won over C&D last week and appears likely to be in the mix once again, while Prince Hector and Muhib can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Gemini Man 2nd Virtual Hug 3rd Prince Hector

Hollie Doyle seems to get the best out of Man Is King and his two efforts in classified company since arriving from Ireland have resulted in a Chelmsford triumph and a close-up third here. He still needs to prove his stamina, though, whereas STARFIGHTER is a four-time C&D winner who, although firmly in the twilight of his career, retains enough ability to land a race of this nature. Belle Of Kt and Late Claim are both in with a shout too.
Prediction : 1st Starfighter 2nd Man Is King 3rd Belle Of Kt

PARADISE WALK may not have built on her debut near-miss when a beaten odds-on favourite at Southwell, but she still had two and a half lengths in hand of third home Egotistical. The latter has since gone one better at Newcastle, but Ralph Beckett's filly is still fancied to confirm her superiority to break through. Champonie justified market support to deny a subsequent winner with experience on her introduction and is a big threat, despite her penalty.
Prediction : 1st Paradise Walk 2nd Champonie 3rd Egotistical

FLICKA'S GIRL has held her form well since landing a similar event at Chelmsford in the middle of January and probably should have finished closer to the winner when a solid second back there recently. She is most effective at 5f, but the trip isn't that big of a concern and she is preferred to Vitalline, who did it well over 7f at Kempton last week. Top Biller and Dr Ali will appreciate the drop out of handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Flickas Girl 2nd Vitalline 3rd Top Biller

Considering Legendsoftheland made progress into second in the final furlong at Lingfield last month, this step back in distance might not be the best move. Therefore, a chance can be taken on ALYARA, who was closing all the way to the line when finishing a close fourth over track and trip recently and a repeat of that performance might be good enough. Sisters In The Sky is a familiar face around here and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Alyara 2nd Legendsoftheland 3rd Sisters In The Sky

Despite taking a keen hold, Law Supreme beat Magic Runner (fifth) when successful over C&D last month and is expected to confirm that form. However, SAMRA STAR overcame a slow pace to make her way through the field to score here prior to putting in a disappointing display at Southwell, but the return to this venue might help her bounce straight back. Dingwall may also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Samra Star 2nd Law Supreme 3rd Dingwall

Woodrafff returned to winning ways at Newcastle last Thursday and provided the quick turnaround doesn't pose him any problems, he is likely to be on the premises. However, UNKNOWN JOURNEY finished a length and a half clear of the third when runner-up at Lingfield on his most recent start and could gain a first career success. Stacey Racey and Mishy's Star are others to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Unknown Journey 2nd Woodrafff 3rd Stacey Racey
