UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Having supplemented some creditable all-weather performances with a comprehensive win at Bath earlier this month, Volendam shouldn't be far away. However, a 7lb rise could leave the four-year-old vulnerable and it might be ALAZWAR's turn to strike. Archie Watson's gelding arrives on the back a good second at Lingfield and a repeat may be sufficient. Reopposing winner No Knee Never may also feature along with Book Of Life.
Prediction : 1st Alazwar 2nd Volendam 3rd No Knee Never

SHAYHANA finished second of three on her racecourse debut in November and she should be much wiser now. The four-year-old could find enough improvement to fend off Littlecote, who receives a a hefty weight-for-age allowance. Andrew Balding's filly has filled the runner-up berth on both outings this year and isn't taken lightly. Market support for newcomer Electric Arc, a half-sister to Listed winner Novakai, would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Shayhana 2nd Littlecote 3rd Electric Arc

The removal of blinkers didn't stop EPICTETUS from posting another creditable effort at Lingfield most recently. The son of Kingman shaped as if a return to further could prove beneficial and he edges the vote over Lordsbridge Blu. The six-year-old did well to grab the silver medal having been anchored in rear over C&D last month and another bold bid is forecast. Renesmee is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Epictetus 2nd Lordsbridge Blu 3rd Renesmee

Having posted two creditable efforts on his final two starts for Johnny Murtagh last year, this could prove a suitable opportunity for VIDMIYR to make a winning stable bow. Now under the tutelage of Jennie Candlish, the three-year-old boasts an official rating of 75 and he may prove hard to beat. Imelda offered plenty to work with when second over C&D and she may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Clementines Star.
Prediction : 1st Vidmiyr 2nd Imelda 3rd Clementines Star

SHES GOT THE BLUES looks the safe play in a trappy handicap for punters to solve. She outran odds of 10/1 when beaten a short-head second at Southwell latest and might not need to improve much on that effort in order to strike. Electrocution commands respect as a previous C&D winner and it's worth keeping an eye on Giles Glory too.
Prediction : 1st Shes Got The Blues 2nd Electrocution 3rd Giles Glory

FOREVER PERFECT was on good terms with herself when striking over C&D last Tuesday and there could be much more to come from her over this trip, so she's taken to defy a 6lb penalty. Crown Inn To Win finished second in that race and was a beaten favourite, so he's got questions to answer now. Montu might be the main danger.
Prediction : 1st Forever Perfect 2nd Montu 3rd Crown Inn To Win

A tough sprint handicap for punters to solve and there is plenty of past C&D-winning form to go through. Candy Warhol and Dark Side Prince are the most interesting of those that fit the bill, but it's FOREVER NOAH who could be worth chancing. He hasn't won at this track, but recent second-placed efforts make him of huge interest with Callum Rodriguez taking over in the plate.
Prediction : 1st Forever Noah 2nd Candy Warhol 3rd Dark Side Prince
