UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

PLATH displayed plenty of promise when finishing fourth on her racecourse debut at Kempton last month and the daughter of Poet's Voice could be hard to beat with that experience now under her belt. Due Care, Inhalation and Kohoof are others with valid form claims, while any market support for either of Corvair or The Perfect Crown would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Plath 2nd Due Care 3rd Inhalation

AL QAHWA disappointed on his sole previous start this year but in September 2018 he finished second in the Ayr Silver Cup off a mark of 94. If he retains anywhere near that level of ability he will be very hard to beat in this claimer. Shady Mccoy is likely to pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Unforgiving Minute and Azzeccagarbugli.
Prediction : 1st Al Qahwa 2nd Shady Mccoy 3rd Unforgiving Minute

LYFORD bounced back to form when finishing a narrow second at Wolverhampton late last month and the four-year-old could go one better off just a 2lb higher mark. Land Of Winter has hit the crossbar in both starts since winning at Southwell in September and he merits a place on the shortlist, while Noble Behest and Ban Shoof are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Lyford 2nd Land Of Winter 3rd Noble Behest

HEATH CHARNOCK looked on good terms with himself when second over track and trip in September and is expected to show up well, off an unchanged mark, and find the improvement needed to score. Moon Trouble is rated 4lb higher than when scoring here in the summer and could make his presence felt from a good draw. The pick of the remainder may be Royal Birth, who finished a creditable fifth in Listed company at Lingfield last weekend.
Prediction : 1st Heath Charnock 2nd Moon Trouble 3rd Royal Birth

Lordsbridge Boy knuckled down well when scoring by a neck at Kempton last time and is unlikely to be fazed by a 3lb rise in the ratings. He may, however, struggle to grab the lead again from stall 10, so of more interest is BROUGHTON EXCELS, who has winning track and trip form in the book and lost little in defeat when second off 2lb lower here latest. Kingsley Klarion and Society Guest are also considered in a competitive heat.
Prediction : 1st Broughton Excels 2nd Lordsbridge Boy 3rd Society Guest

Tebay took a step in the right direction when finishing third of 14 on stable debut for John Best earlier this month, while it is still early days for George Junior, who has had one start for Ed Walker and made just two other appearances in his career so far. Both will have to improve to beat CALEDONIA LAIRD, though. The eight-year-old is obviously more exposed, but a 3lb rise for winning over 1m here last time isn't harsh and he will take some stopping.
Prediction : 1st Caledonia Laird 2nd Tebay 3rd George Junior

180,000-euro purchase ENGRAVE looked in need of the experience here on debut last month and is fancied to take a big step forward for Hugo Palmer. This step up from 1m should help the three-year-old, while cheekpieces are also utilised in order to keep her focused. Mons Star was beaten twice during the spring for Saeed bin Suroor but should have benefitted from a 197-day break, while Fields Of Dreams is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Engrave 2nd Mons Star 3rd Fields Of Dreams

LALANIA showed a nice attitude to finish third here 19 days ago and shaped there as though her winning turn could be close. Stuart Williams' charge has yet to strike in a handicap, but this is a magnificent opportunity and the Kheleyf filly is fancied to capitalise now dropped back from 6f. Fareeq is on a dangerous mark and has had a wind operation since last seen, while Nampara also appeals after her 25-1 second over C&D earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Lalania 2nd Fareeq 3rd Nampara
