UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

TRAVEL AGENT flew home at Kempton to grab the runner-up spot on only his second outing for Adam Kirby. The son of No Nay Never looks up to winning off his current mark on that evidence and is taken to edge out Jojo Rabbit. The latter made all over the minimum trip at Pontefract recently. He's equally proficient on this surface and warrants plenty of respect, while Punchbowl Flyer is preferred to Twilight Madness of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Travel Agent 2nd Jojo Rabbit 3rd Punchbowl Flyer

There was a lot to like about SCHEFFLER's debut effort at Lingfield. Richard Hughes' charge may well have finished closer than third with a clear run and is marginally preferred to Afton Down. The latter separated a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Chelmsford in October and returns to the fray with solid claims, while Cool Doc Boy showed enough last term to suggest he could also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Scheffler 2nd Afton Down 3rd Cool Doc Boy

A winner over 1m3f in February, Caramay is holding her form well and has a shout if staying this far. However, there are no doubts surrounding SOLAR PASS staying the distance, as she finished a creditable second over 1m6f at Salisbury last summer. Andrew Balding's filly made a winning return to action at Southwell last month and can effectively race off a lower mark here with Alfie Redman's allowance taken into consideration. Diamond Bay could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Solar Pass 2nd Caramay 3rd Diamond Bay

It's hard to get away from GOLD STAR HERO, who made virtually all of the running to complete a double at this level over 6f here recently. As long as the son of Starspangledbanner copes with this quick turnaround, he can defy his 5lb penalty. Counsel went in over track and trip on his latest outing and is likely to be on the premises with Luke Morris retaining the ride. Ziggy's Missile looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Gold Star Hero 2nd Counsel 3rd Ziggys Missile

SLIGHT OF FOOT took a sizeable step forward from his debut effort when filling the runner-up spot at Kempton in September and has been gelded since. The son of Kingman could have any amount of improvement to come and he looks the way to go. Korbut has a similar profile, showing little on her introduction before taking the silver medal home at Southwell, and she needs to be taken seriously. Law Court is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Slight Of Foot 2nd Korbut 3rd Law Court

POLITELY showed huge improvement when scoring by five lengths at Lingfield, quickening clear in the final furlong suggesting this extra distance will be right up her street. An opening mark of 80 might prove to be lenient and she looks the one to side with. C&D winner Tryst was a disappointing favourite when fourth at Kempton, but she isn't one to write off just yet, especially on her first appearance in a handicap. Maeva is next best.
Prediction : 1st Politely 2nd Tryst 3rd Maeva

Scenario reverts to Tapeta after justifying favouritism in a similar event at Bath 12 days ago. However, she has been held off this mark before and looks risky bidding for back-to-back wins for the first time in her 22-race career. Port Noir and Naughty Niall were first and second in a C&D event last week and both are due to race off higher marks in the near future. However, it might be worth taking a punt on BALQAA being able to exploit a rating that is 13lb lower than when she was at her peak.
Prediction : 1st Balqaa 2nd Scenario 3rd Port Noir
