5:00 Wolverhampton Racing Tips (13th February)

WOLVERHAMPTON 5.00 Div I

A field of 9 for this division of this class 6 dash with 2 that have been known to lead before although Prince Of Rome is more of a versatile with its racing tactics and maybe only leads when nothing else wants to so it might not try to lead here. Coast might need further to show its best form but being my 3rd top rated it could run on into the frame, Munificent is my 2nd top rated and this one usually tracks the leaders before staying on strongly nearing the finish but I doubt it will be an each way price. My top rated is AMAZING AMAYA 12/1 who tries to stay on at the finish and if able to track the early pace then could stay on for the win so has to carry some of my money but I have a feeling that BOOM THE GROOM 4/1 could be allowed to set the early pace and if able to do so being my 4th top rated it could do enough to at least make the frame but could pinch the race from the front if allowed an easy lead and the jockey has a decent 19% strike rate on the stables older horses.

WOLVERHAMPTON 5.30 Div II

The make-up of this 2nd division is very similar to the first division with 1 what I would call a natural front running type and if AUTUMN FLIGHT 8/1 runs here and is allowed an easy lead it could go very well from the front and could even hold on for the win so has to carry some of my money. Fair And Square 6/1 is still a maiden after 25 races and if a single figure price I will look to lay it along with Procivity 12/1 who races as though further suits it better and has never won on an artificial surface from 8 attempts and its 1 good rating is looking like a race where it towed along in a fast run affair so is maybe best ignored. I will also be backing TOPLIGHT 7/2 who can deploy any tactics apart from leading and is from the same Stable as Boom The Groom is the 1st division so has good jockey stats. It look to me as the trainer Tony Carroll who has 2 entrants in each race thinks he can win this race and i have put forward one from each division which I think is the better prospect in each division.

5:00 Wolverhampton Racing Tips (1st November)

WOLVERHAMPTON 5.00 

A rather complex 6 furlong class 4 sprint, the early pace may well be set by Politics but this one hasn't any AW form and would need to improve on its best rating on turf over this distance but being a 3yo it could well improve, until I see the betting I have no idea if there's anything of value to lay, there is only 3lbs separating my top 4 rated horses but one of those 4, Mutabaahy, hasn't been in the best of form recently and its best speed figure was recorded last year so I would need to see some sign of rejuvenation before backing it, the same could apply to El Hombre who hasn't been as good so far this year and the jockeys 0-6 record doesn't fill me with confidence on its chance of winning, Youllovemewheniwin is being ridden by a 3lb claiming apprentice which moves it into 2nd top spot overall but only 1lb below WUDACUDASHUDA 9/2 who is also being ridden by an apprentice claiming 3lbs but this one has been known to contest the lead before and even from stall 9 it should get a clear run as the other known early pace is in stall 7 so my selection should be able to follow it across to the rails and at least gain a good position from which to stay on the stronger nearing the finish.

WOLVERHAMPTON 6.00 

Another class 4 race but this time a dash over 5 furlongs and there are 5 horses amongst the 9 runners that have been known to lead before although both Red Walls stall 2 and Charming Kid 4/1 stall 7, would only set a slow pace if allowed to dictate the early pace and I would look to lay the latter if its a single figure price, Canford Bay stall 8 is another that only usually leads when nothing else wants to take on the pacesetter role, Outrage stall 9 would need to improve time wise even if leading which leaves me with BOOM THE GROOM 20/1 (EW) who from stall 5 could get away quickly and gain control on the rails and it then should prove hard to catch if repeating its best rating which it recorded last year, this is its first run of the year over this course and distance and I hope it rejuvenates it back to its best and as usual with it being a double figure price I would go with an each way bet.

3:25 Catterick Racing Tips (21st April)

CATTERICK 3.25 

A 9 runner race where Signore Piccolo could lead if nothing else wanted to but this distance can be too far for it so it would try to set a slowish pace but I think Aleef will be the one to make sure there is a good early pace but this one wouldn't want the going to be too fast, Tukhoom a hold up type is my 4th top rated, Zumurud sits in 3rd spot and it likes to track the leaders, I've got 1lb between my top 2 ratings so will be back both MEDICINE JACK 7/2 in 2nd top spot and ROUND THE ISLAND 4/1 who is in top spot. 

Round The Island 11/2 2nd -1pt

Medicine Jack 7/2 3rd -1pt

Total -2pts

CATTERICK 5.05 

This isn't a great apprentice jockeys race, I can see 3 who might set the pace so it should be a true run affair, I had to go back to 2019 for Red Stripes best turf time but hasn't shown much in its latest runs, if HARROGATE 2/1 sets the pace and can repeat its best time from last year it could lead all the way but its run this year was way below that level when it finished 2nd but beaten 4 lengths in a relatively slow run race, I have BOUDICA BAY 4/1 just 1lb below top spot and the trainer has a good record at this course with a 25% win ratio, so I will be backing both of them in this race. 

Harrogate 2/1 2nd -1pt 

Boudica Bay 4/1 4th -1pt

LINGFIELD 6.40 

There should be plenty of early pace to this race as all 3 known front runners are in my top four ratings,and times of that top four of the eight runners are a bit higher than the other half, Benefit Street a possible pacesetter comes out 4th top rated and could make the frame Inaam in 3rd top spot is the one that could do best of those coming from off the pace and could even possibly win if they cut each others throats vying for the lead, Alsvinder comes out 2nd best on my figures and is only 2lbs below SWISS PRIDE 5/2 who is my top rated and if getting to the front it could prove hard to catch.

Swiss Pride 10/3 1st +3.333pts Betfair SP (-)

LINGFIELD 7.10 

Only 7 runners here but there's 2 natural front runners and another that can front run if needs be, Super Julius a possible pacesetter is my 4th top rated, Saaheq comes out 3rd best and usually runs on at the finish so could be the one to prosper if they do go off too fast, Hey Ho Lets Go usually likes to track the leaders and then stay on at the finish and comes out 2nd best on my figures but I will be siding with BOOM THE GROOM 7/1 who is the one that's very versatile when it comes to racing tactics and compared to last year this is a drop in class and if on its “a” game the price is generous.
