UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

MY MOTIVATE GIRL has not been beaten far in any of her previous starts and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for Archie Watson's filly to get off the mark. Hard Nut displayed plenty of promise on his debut and he is entitled to improve for that experience, while Exciting Days and Thomas Lanfiere are both newcomers who merit consideration.
Prediction : 1st My Motivate Girl 2nd Hard Nut 3rd Exciting Days

ALABASTER is a consistent performer and his two third-placed finishes over course and distance in recent months suggest that he could be hard to beat in this contest. Eye of The Storm has to be of some interest based on his recent victory in a seller at Leicester, while Jumping Cats and Carvelas are the pick of the remaining field.
Prediction : 1st Alabaster 2nd Eye of The Storm 3rd Carvelas

CLIFFS OF CAPRI ran well multiple times off this mark at Meydan earlier in the year and his most recent run in Dubai can be forgiven as 1m2f would have stretched his stamina. His form is more than good enough to win this race and the five-year-old should not be underestimated. The consistent Masham Star should go well once again today, while Qaysar and Tahreek are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Cliffs Of Capri 2nd Masham Star 3rd Tahreek

SPANISH ARCHER is a lightly-raced four-year-old and he was last seen hitting the crossbar off this mark at Kempton in September last year. He still remains open to improvement and he could prove to be too good for these rivals. Shareef Star won at Newcastle two starts ago and he could give the selection plenty to think about, as he may benefit from the application of first-time blinkers. The shortlist is completed by El Ghazwani and Fayez.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Archer 2nd Shareef Star 3rd El Ghazwani

KIRSTENBOSCH won in good style on her racecourse bow at Redcar last month, when staying on strongly in the closing stages, and that performance, along with her pedigree, suggests she should relish the extra couple of furlongs on this occasion. Inference was disappointing when sent off favourite at Salisbury on her second outing but is clearly much better than that, while Narina's second at Bath last time puts her in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Kirstenbosch 2nd Inference 3rd Narina

ALHAKMAH was disappointing on her handicap debut at Goodwood, when only beating a couple of rivals home, but the drop to 6f appears to be in her favour and she remains with potential as a sprinter. Shimmering Dawn has won her last couple of starts in handicaps and may have further scope for improvement, while Furious and Puds look best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Alhakmah 2nd Shimmering Dawn 3rd Furious

LORD LAMINGTON bounced back to winning ways when scoring at Sandown at the end of last month, making all of the running over this trip. The son of Australia went up 3lb for that success and appears capable of further progression over the likes of stable companion Message, who was no match for the winner on his latest start at Brighton, and Mr Zoom Zoom.
Prediction : 1st Lord Lamington 2nd Message 3rd Mr Zoom Zoom
