UK Horse Racing Tips: Wolverhampton

MINI MAC has proved a different proposition since racing under the tutelage of James Owen and a hat-trick may beckon. The four-year-old scored with enough in hand on his latest triumph at Southwell to suggest that another 5lb penalty won't forestall his progress. Rovinia arrives on the back of a respectable third at Kempton and she may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Men Of Honour.
Prediction : 1st Mini Mac 2nd Rovinia 3rd Men Of Honour

OPPENHEIMER scored impressively on his debut for these connections over a mile at Southwell on Saturday and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to stop him from following up on the quick turnaround. Snooze Lane confirmed the promise of his return third over C&D in September when a close second here three weeks ago. Based on that evidence, he could be the main threat ahead of Barry The Worm.
Prediction : 1st Oppenheimer 2nd Snooze Lane 3rd Barry The Worm

CROWN OF IVY has not been seen since making a winning debut for previous connections at Doncaster in May but the son of Naval Crown clearly sets the standard and must not be underestimated. Bibury Star is closely related to some useful performers and any market support for him would have to be noted, while Amandari may show more than what he did on debut at Yarmouth.
Prediction : 1st Crown Of Ivy 2nd Bibury Star 3rd Amandari

TIME TELLER took a big step forward when second at Leicester four weeks ago and any further improvement would make the son of Kodiac hard to beat. Red Blue Point has filled the runner-up position twice in three starts and is likely to be in the mix once again. Casting Coach is another with strong claims and Striding merits a market inspection.
Prediction : 1st Time Teller 2nd Red Blue Point 3rd Casting Coach

HONOUR YOUR DREAMS was a close second over C&D two starts ago and the return to this venue may be enough to see him go one better on this occasion. Fancy Dancer has gone well in defeat multiple times in recent months and has to be noted in an open race, while similar comments apply to Beach Partee and Outer Edge.
Prediction : 1st Honour Your Dreams 2nd Fancy Dancer 3rd Beach Partee

BINTAZIZA may well have needed her first run since disappointing in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and it would be no surprise to see Roger Varian's filly return to the initial promise shown earlier in the year. Rogue Citation went up 2lb for winning at Southwell and the extra yardage isn't likely to be an issue, while the addition of a tongue-tie might aid the cause of Star Mirage.
Prediction : 1st Bintaziza 2nd Rogue Citation 3rd Star Mirage

A competitive event where the vote goes to YES I'M MALI. The four-year-old was just denied on his most recent effort at Newmarket and connections have booked champion jockey Billy Loughnane. Woodstock has been running consistently well in recent months and has to be respected after his Catterick success last time. Kiniro, Starmade and Lipsink are others with strong credentials.
Prediction : 1st Yes Im Mali 2nd Woodstock 3rd Kiniro

SAXOPHONIC didn't appear to quite get home when tackling 2m at Southwell but his previous effort when scoring here over 1m6f gives him an obvious chance of getting his head back in front. Similar comments apply to Atalanta Mist after she tried 1m6f at Yarmouth and her consistency warrants her a place on the shortlist along with Arlecchino's Rex, who is taken to bounce back after disappointing here last month.
Prediction : 1st Saxophonic 2nd Atalanta Mist 3rd Arlecchinos Rex

Caraway won over C&D on her penultimate start before returning here and filling the runner-up spot. She is expected to be in the mix once again, but the claims of the less-exposed ASTRID make more appeal. James Horton's filly went close on her handicap bow at Southwell and is more than capable of shedding the maiden tag. Jodhpur Blue and Barachiel head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Astrid 2nd Caraway 3rd Jodhpur Blue
