Monday’s UK racing tips come your way from Wolverhampton on 26 February 2024.
WOLVERHAMPTON
Race 3 – COLOUR CODE 9/4
COLOUR CODE looks a nice recruit for Linda Perratt after previously showing plenty of promise under the care of Clive Cox.
Having finished a fair sixth in a strong Newmarket maiden last August, the daughter of Due Diligence kept on well when second to Queues Likely here in the run-up to Christmas.
She then split two decent sorts in Arctic Thunder and Aljezur in a tight finish at Kempton before being snapped up for 34,000 guineas at the sales.
Dropping down to six furlongs for the BetMGM: It’s Showtime Fillies’ Novice Stakes should allow talented apprentice Tommie Jakes to adopt a positive approach from the outset.
Race 4- SENNOCKIAN 15/10
SENNOCKIAN has come good since switching to artificial surfaces and can complete a quick hat-trick in the Bet £10 Get £40 At BetMGM Handicap at Wolverhampton.
Charlie Johnston’s charge showed a good attitude when rallying gamely to edge out Love Yours at Newcastle at the start of this month.
The three-year-old then had just a neck to spare over Ippotheos at Lingfield but he was always travelling sweetly that day and appeared to win a shade cosily there.
A 3lb rise up the ratings is acceptable and it would be no surprise to see this €120,000 half-brother to former Fillies’ Mile Group One winner Pretty Gorgeous have plenty more left in the tank.
Race 5 – DOCTOR VUBY 2/1
DOCTOR VUBY looks to go one better in the Boost Your Acca At Betmgm Handicap.
Although he is yet to claim a victory, Michael and David Easterby’s three-year-old has been in the money in two of his four outings.
He finished second last time out over five furlongs at Chelmsford and he teams up with Billy Garrity once again who was in the saddle for that run at the Essex track.
Race 8 – LAWMAKER 5/4
LAWMAKER was well backed when returning from a 13-month absence to score at Kempton and is taken to defy a 5lb uplift in the Boost Your Acca With BetUK Handicap.
Trainer Michael Bell has a top jockey booked in the form of Oisin Murphy, who has a very impressive win record in 2024 so far, winning 26% of his races.
Lawmaker should be freshened up after his return at Kempton and he definitely has the ability to claim another victory here.
