UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

COMPASS POINT arrives here on the back of two victories over a mile at this track last month and he can rack up the hat-trick today, despite a 3lb rise for his most recent success. Corked has been running well enough of late to suggest that she can make the frame today, while Attain and Don't Do It complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Compass Point 2nd Corked 3rd Dont Do It

Kimblewick created a very good impression when making a winning debut at Kempton back in November and she has to be respected once again today. However, a 7lb penalty for that success means that she is vulnerable this afternoon and can be taken on with DEREVO. The son of Dansili caught the eye when finishing second on his sole start as a juvenile and his pedigree suggests that he may improve as a three-year-old. Hendrix edges out Mr Zoom Zoom to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Derevo 2nd Kimblewick 3rd Hendrix

SWEET AND DANDY was only narrowly denied when finishing second on her debut for this yard over course and distance last month. A 1lb rise in the ratings for that effort is fair and she could go one better this afternoon. Emily Goldfinch was only three-quarters of a length behind the selection on that occasion and she should be in the mix once again, while Goodnight Girl is respected based on her turf form from last year.
Prediction : 1st Sweet And Dandy 2nd Emily Goldfinch 3rd Goodnight Girl

DARK VISION failed to fire in a Group 2 when last seen in September but if he reproduces the effort that saw him win the Vintage Stakes on his previous start then he will be very hard to beat today. U S S Michigan got off the mark at Dundalk last month and this unexposed son of War Front may have more to offer this afternoon, while Bye Bye Hong Kong was highly tried at a juvenile and he is another who could go very well.
Prediction : 1st Dark Vision 2nd U S S Michigan 3rd Bye Bye Hong Kong

LION HEARTED has won six of his last seven starts, with victories over 7f and 1m here bookending that sequence. He's turned out under a penalty for his 1m win here last week but rates the one to beat as the handicapper is evidently struggling to stifle his progress. Unforgiving Minute has been raised 1lb for his near miss over this trip at Kempton but can fight it out for the silver medal with David Simcock's grade dropper, Ultimate Avenue.
Prediction : 1st Lion Hearted 2nd Ultimate Avenue 3rd Unforgiving Minute

C&D winner VIOLA PARK was thwarted by a neck over this trip at Kempton last time and is expected to defy a 2lb rise and remain competitive. Naralsaif is rated 5lb higher than when striking over C&D in February and could appreciate the return to this trip, having faded in the closing stages when fourth over 1m here on her penultimate outing. A big run could also be on the cards from the eased-in-grade Tavener.
Prediction : 1st Viola Park 2nd Naralsaif 3rd Tavener

RED STRIPES struck by a head at Southwell eight days ago and has run three good races for his apprentice rider now, including a solid C&D second last month. Lisa Williamson's seven-year-old carries a 4lb penalty this time and could go well from stall four. Admiral Rooke weakened inside the final furlong over 6f at Wolverhampton and could relish this drop back in distance, while Zipedeedodah, with Oisin Murphy booked, also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Red Stripes 2nd Admiral Rooke 3rd Zipedeedodah

RED COSSACK rattled the crossbar over this trip in refitted blinkers at Kempton and is expected to remain competitive with the headgear retained. Dean Ivory's charge has bagged a low draw and is dangerously treated on his best form. Cash N Carrie drops back in trip and sports a first-time visor after finishing fourth over 1m3f at Kempton and has place claims along with recent C&D second Seaquinn.
Prediction : 1st Red Cossack 2nd Cash N Carrie 3rd Seaquinn
