UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Just half a length separated FINAL APPEAL and Blackberry Bold when they took minor honours at Nottingham. Both performances offered encouragement and both youngsters should come on for the run, but Karl Burke's colt is related to an all-weather winner and can confirm his superiority. Noble Raider carries the Amo Racing colours and cost 42,000 pounds as a yearling. He is the pick of the newcomers, although Marralyn isn't without a chance.
Prediction : 1st Final Appeal 2nd Blackberry Bold 3rd Noble Raider

Crown Inn To Win has been much improved since stepping up to this distance, claiming silver medals at Southwell and here. He surely won't remain a maiden for too much longer, but the Gosdens won't have had many inmates rated just 59 so ITSONLYROCKANDROLL is too tempting to ignore. The daughter of Pinatubo cost 105,000gns as a yearling and although she has shown little in three qualifying runs, much better is expected now handicapping. Corduroy finished alongside Crown Inn To Win over C&D so has to enter the equation too.
Prediction : 1st Itsonlyrockandroll 2nd Crown Inn To Win 3rd Corduroy

Some C&D specialists do battle and MIDNIGHT CALL can register her sixth Wolverhampton success since November. Even in defeat during that period, Tony Carroll's speedster hasn't been far away and her latest triumph showed she is worth sticking with. Shalaa Asker is another reliable sprinter and was a few places ahead of Phoenix Beach when pipped here most recently. Cheekpieces don't need to prompt too much improvement from Binadham, while Em Four is holding his form well.
Prediction : 1st Midnight Call 2nd Shalaa Asker 3rd Binadham

BEAUNE proved his 40/1 victory at Lingfield to be no fluke with a pair of runner-up efforts before getting his head back in front over C&D. The son of Blue Point is tough to oppose in his current vein of form. Rubellite appears to be the most obvious threat after her second at Southwell. Wave Rock would be of interest if settling better than she did when last seen at Newcastle.
Prediction : 1st Beaune 2nd Rubellite 3rd Wave Rock

Any market support should be noted for Tabby on her first run since December 2024, but recent maiden winner STAR MARIAN gets the vote. She benefited from a switch to front-running tactics when returning from a break here over 5f and a repeat of those may see her gain back-to-back successes. Daytona Lady and Filly Foden appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Star Marian 2nd Tabby 3rd Daytona Lady

FASTER BEE left behind a disappointing effort when beaten less than a length into fourth over C&D last month. The reapplication of cheekpieces might just give him the edge in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Thomas Equinas is likely to be competitive after his latest run at Southwell, while Port Hedland and Star Of Atlantis complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Faster Bee 2nd Thomas Equinas 3rd Port Hedland

Street Dancer has only beaten two rivals home in her three career starts so far and was sent off at big prices for all of those efforts, but she could prove a completely different proposition now in handicap company. Even so, BAD HABITS looks the way to go. His sole victory came over C&D in December and despite disappointing when only ninth over track and trip last time, he could bounce back. Top Star is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Bad Habits 2nd Street Dancer 3rd Top Star

First-time cheekpieces brought about significant improvement in KAARANAH when returning to winning ways over C&D earlier in the month. John Butler's eight-year-old only has a 4lb higher mark to contend with and could go in again. Karakula struck over track and trip in September and she has to be taken seriously along with Eagles Whistle, who is a C&D scorer herself.
Prediction : 1st Kaaranah 2nd Karakula 3rd Eagles Whistle
