UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

OTTOMAN COURT has bumped into some useful rivals in his previous starts and that includes his third-placed finish to the subsequent Group 1 winner Quadrilateral last time out. Based upon that performance, the son of Shamardal is hard to oppose today. King Ragnar displayed promise on his debut and he should not be underestimated, while Creek Horizon and Streeton are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ottoman Court 2nd King Ragnar 3rd Creek Horizon

Despite her lack of previous race experience the preference is for FRANCONIA, who is a half-sister to the Group 1 winner Winsili and she represents a yard in good form right now. Charming Rose, who is a stablemate of the selection, and Far Rockaway are other debutants who merit market inspections, while Jeanie B is the clear pick of those with previous form.
Prediction : 1st Franconia 2nd Charming Rose 3rd Jeanie B

AL QAQAA shaped with an abundance of promise when running on into fourth over 7f at Newmarket on debut last month and is expected to step up on that effort, with the benefit of a run behind him, now granted this stiffer test. John Gosden's newcomer, Colonize, is out of an Italian Group 1 winner and is worth a market check on debut, likewise Mark Johnston's You Owe Me, who should also know his job first time out.
Prediction : 1st Al Qaqaa 2nd Colonize 3rd You Owe Me

ROSARNO failed to justify favouritism when second in a classified stakes contest over this track and trip last week but wouldn't need to find a great deal of improvement in order to defy a mark of 50 now returned to the handicap ranks. So Claire kept on well in the closing stages when second over 7f here two weeks ago and could improve for this additional furlong, while The King's Steed is well drawn to attack from stall four and could also figure.
Prediction : 1st Rosarno 2nd So Claire 3rd The Kings Steed

FALCON CLIFFS could well enjoy this distance having placed over 1m4f at Kempton last week and had been denied by only a short head off this figure when seen over two miles at Wolverhampton before that. Miss Swift has run well here the last twice and has to be respected, while Sir Gnet's mark continues to fall and he has a chance of being in the shake-up. Each-way claims are also given to Millie May and Royal Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Falcon Cliffs 2nd Miss Swift 3rd Sir Gnet

BROUGHTON EXCELS was only denied by a head when looking for back-to-back course-and-distance victories last month and Stuart Williams' four-year-old, who excels on a synthetic surface, can play a leading role once again off a 2lb higher mark. At Your Service made the podium on his first outing for Chelsea Banham and the track-and-trip winner has to be respected, while Split Down South was another to shape nicely on his stable debut and could be the pick of Phil McEntee's pair.
Prediction : 1st Broughton Excels 2nd At Your Service 3rd Split Down South
