UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Eevilynn Drew has to be respected having won on debut at Kempton in October but could be vulnerable under a penalty. With that in mind, preference is for NOTFORALONGTIME, who caught the eye when staying on into fourth on his debut over 6f here last month. The step up in trip should suit and he can only improve for that experience. Showmolina is closely related to plenty of winners and is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Notforalongtime 2nd Eevilynn Drew 3rd Showmolina

IN THE NIGHT ran well enough on his debut at Wolverhampton in October and he looks sure to benefit from that experience, while a recent gelding operation may also bring about some improvement. Bobby The Great, who ran at Newmarket on his first start, is another who may take a step forward. All of the newcomers are interesting but the 550,000gns purchase Hypothetical is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st In The Night 2nd Hypothetical 3rd Bobby The Great

SWANSDOWN was not disgraced when finishing third over 7f at Newcastle last time and her previous victory over a mile suggests that she will be suited by this step back up in trip. Choral Music returned to winning ways at Kempton when last seen and she merits a place on the shortlist, as do Born To Finish and Clipsham Tiger.
Prediction : 1st Swansdown 2nd Choral Music 3rd Clipsham Tiger

BO SAMRAAN has won three of his last four outings, over 1m2f and 1m4f, and the stamina of Mark Johnston's front-runner could hold out as he now goes up in trip. Hat-trick seeking pair Pianissimo and Sweet Celebration both command respect, while Joseph O'Brien's raider Grandmaster Flash was only denied by a short-head at Dundalk last time. Not much separated Creationist (second) and Good Tidings (third) when they met at Kempton and both are respected in this.
Prediction : 1st Bo Samraan 2nd Grandmaster Flash 3rd Creationist

SPLIT DOWN SOUTH has been in top form of late and looks set for another leading performance off a mark just 1lb higher than when three-parts of a length third last time. A winner on his last two visits here, the three-year-old could take some stopping. Dual track-and-trip winner Full Intention is another in fine fettle and has to be respected, along with Haddaf, who wasn't far behind when they met at Kempton recently.
Prediction : 1st Split Down South 2nd Full Intention 3rd Haddaf

KERRERA returned to winning ways over course and distance last month, on her first start for Dean Ivory, and is expected to remain competitive following a 2lb rise in the ratings. Lacan could appreciate the return to 1m after finishing midfield over 7f at Yarmouth latest, while Pike Corner Cross is fancied to prove best of the remainder after a solid effort here six days ago.
Prediction : 1st Kerrera 2nd Lacan 3rd Pike Corner Cross

Tilsworth Rose has been knocking on the door for John Jenkins and wouldn't be winning out of turn, though narrow preference is for GRIGGY, who finished an outpaced fourth over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and could feasibly take closer order now stepped back up in trip. Any market support for Gordon Elliott's raider, Captain Power (also engaged to run here yesterday), would also be worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Griggy 2nd Tilsworth Rose 3rd Captain Power

SAVALAS finished a creditable fifth over 5f at Newcastle on his first outing for Robert Cowell last month. His stable excel with their sprint recruits and the four-year-old is on an attractive mark at present. Acclaim The Nation should inject some pace into the race from stall five and can fight it out with Just That Lord, who ran well in a higher grade at Lingfield on Monday, for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Savalas 2nd Acclaim The Nation 3rd Just That Lord
