UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

Little went to plan for BATED BENEVOLENCE when she finished in the bottom half of the field in the Albany at Royal Ascot. However, she is back in much calmer waters and her experience could be a telling factor. Previously a ready winner on her debut at Nottingham, she has a big chance of adding to her tally on these terms. Sequel Star and Roosike are the pick of the rest to have raced previously, while Expensive Luxury commands respect debuting for a yard with an impeccable record with juveniles.
Prediction : 1st Bated Benevolence 2nd Sequel Star 3rd Roosike

Veydari is an interesting one to monitor closely in the betting off a competitive rating, despite having only raced on Tapeta once before. There could also be some milage in chancing that Nebbia can take another step forward after finishing a close second over 5f at Leicester most recently. However, AKABUSI, a previous C&D winner last autumn, could be the one for a bit of value with his surface credentials assured. Monsieur Kodi has Polytrack form that also warrants inspection.
Prediction : 1st Akabusi 2nd Veydari 3rd Nebbia

KORBUT has been knocking on the door lately and can go one better than her two recent second-placed finishes at Catterick and Kempton if the first-time cheekpieces draw a little extra from the Sir Mark Prescott-trained filly. One Of The Boys is also shaping up nicely and should be capable of another bold showing, while market moves for the likes of Poets Praise and Carnival Of Light would need to be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Korbut 2nd One Of The Boys 3rd Poets Praise

Show Me Gold sprung a 18/1 surprise to make a winning handicap debut at Kempton on her latest outing and should mount a bold bid in her attempt to follow up, but the one who appeals most is PICKERSGILL. Iain Jardine's filly finished two lengths clear of the third when second at Southwell earlier this month and with Jack Nicholls claiming a handy 5lb, she ought to go close. Court Of Stars is far from out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Pickersgill 2nd Show Me Gold 3rd Court Of Stars

First-time blinkers (retained) sparked marked improvement in Chapter, who returned to winning ways at Sandown last month, and he is one to take seriously. However, GO RIMBAUD ran below market expectations when only fifth at Haydock in April, but he has been gelded since and this slight step up in distance could unlock improvement. On The Inlet can beat Brocklesby Bill home for third.
Prediction : 1st Go Rimbaud 2nd Chapter 3rd On The Inlet

HEATHEN finished third behind subsequent Northumberland Vase winner Believitanducan at Chester in May and Jennie Candlish's charge now returns to the track where he has recorded two of his five career victories. Dance Time was far from disgraced in third at Carlisle last month and has to be respected as she bids for a third course success, while Arcturus Flame is another to keep a close eye on.
Prediction : 1st Heathen 2nd Dance Time 3rd Arcturus Flame

BONE MARRA got up by a half-length to regain the winning thread at Southwell last month and only has a 2lb higher mark to contend with. The step back up in trip won't pose him any problems and he could make it four wins from five starts on the all-weather. Do Bronxs would be a player if he reproduced his runner-up effort at Chester two starts ago and might improve for the application of cheekpieces. Applesandpears completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Bone Marra 2nd Do Bronxs 3rd Applesandpears
