UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

CAT ROYALE was cruelly denied by a 50-1 shot at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and could make amends here for John Butler. The seven-year-old was put up 3lb for that effort, but he is still below his last winning mark (September 2018) and can defy a wide draw. Odds On Oli won beyond a mile for the first time on Boxing Day and warrants respect, while Carvelas could also go close after an improved effort last time out.
Prediction : 1st Cat Royale 2nd Odds On Oli 3rd Carvelas

AGENT OF FORTUNE is in magnificent form and can make it 4-4 since joining Gary Moore. The Kheleyf filly struck at Lingfield over a mile three days ago, and is good enough to cope with this slight drop in trip under a 5lb penalty. Holy Tiber flashed home to finish second here five weeks ago and is on a tempting mark of 52, while recent C&D scorer Just An Idea also merits close consideration.
Prediction : 1st Agent Of Fortune 2nd Holy Tiber 3rd Just An Idea

TOMILY landed his 10th career success in claiming company on Halloween and could add to his tally now with Tony Newcombe. The booking of Adam Kirby suggests that connections mean business, and this doesn't look too daunting of a contest for the six-year-old, who is unexposed over this 7f trip. Gallipoli is noted now dropping in class, while Busby is progressing nicely but needs more now on a career-high mark of 82.
Prediction : 1st Tomily 2nd Busby 3rd Gallipoli

CORINTHIA KNIGHT makes plenty of appeal on his return to handicap company with Pierre-Louis Jamin's 7lb claim and cheekpieces on for the first time both potential angles which could see him return to winning ways. Watchable arrives in excellent heart having won his last two on the all-weather at Newcastle and Lingfield. He can enter the reckoning once again along with Street Parade and Tawny Port.
Prediction : 1st Corinthia Knight 2nd Watchable 3rd Street Parade

FALCON CLIFFS arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories having followed up a course success at Wolverhampton last month, and the six-year-old may have more in the locker despite a 4lb rise from the handicapper. In Demand is capable of stepping forward from his first start for Roger Charlton at Wolverhampton, while Banta Bay and Que Quieres complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Falcon Cliffs 2nd In Demand 3rd Banta Bay

LION HEARTED was reported not to be suited by the tight bend on offer at Lingfield when last seen on All-Weather Finals Day and the drop in grade, at a course he won at on his two starts prior, can see the six-year-old back to winning ways. Fighting Temeraire ran on well to win on the line here over 7f last month and he is respected along with recent Lingfield scorer Fields Of Dreams.
Prediction : 1st Lion Hearted 2nd Fighting Temeraire 3rd Fields Of Dreams

YULONG GOLD TEMPLE boasts a decent pedigree, coming from the family of top international sprinter Stormy Liberal, and cost 100,000 pounds at the Tattersalls Ireland September yearling sale in 2018. He represents a handler who has a good record with newcomers and the son of No Nay Never could prove too strong for the opposition. Prince Of Eagles (fourth) and Summit Reach (fifth) can both enter the reckoning based on their recent meeting at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Yulong Gold Temple 2nd Prince Of Eagles 3rd Summit Reach

MARTIN'S BRIG took a step forward from his debut when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month and the son of Equiano is capable of making it third time lucky with those efforts under his belt. Line Of Enquiry finished third on his first outing at Lingfield in November and can enter the reckoning along with Rideson, who is likely to benefit from a more positive ride.
Prediction : 1st Martins Brig 2nd Line Of Enquiry 3rd Rideson
