UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Deeds Not Words has to be respected having won over C&D a week ago but the marginal preference is for the veteran ASK THE GURU. Michael Attwater's gelding was only denied by a head in a similar contest to this at Lingfield recently and the 10-year-old can race off the same mark. Others to note are Sagittarian Wind, Alaskan Bay and Sugar Plum Fairy.
Prediction : 1st Ask The Guru 2nd Deeds Not Words 3rd Sagittarian Wind

Elmejor made a winning return to action at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and another good run can be expected from him, although he could be vulnerable under a penalty. With that in mind, preference is for LEXINGTON DASH, who has displayed plenty of promise on both previous starts and may improve for the step up in trip. Others to note are Machine Gun and I Love You Baby.
Prediction : 1st Lexington Dash 2nd Elmejor 3rd I Love You Baby

BADAYEL was only narrowly denied when finishing second on his debut for these connections at Wolverhampton last month and the application of first-time blinkers can help the four-year-old go one better. Dreaming Away has also been knocking on the door in her most recent starts and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Fujaira King and Nigel Nott also have claims but the former is more experienced.
Prediction : 1st Badayel 2nd Dreaming Away 3rd Fujaira King

LANCELOT DU LAC hasn't been at his best for quite some time and isn't getting any younger at the age of 10, but the assessor has handed the 2017 Stewards' Cup winner a huge chance here off a mark of 92, and he could be set for one last hurrah. The veteran is 3-5 at this venue and might have too much for El Hombre, who may well appreciate this drop in class, and Katheefa, who is chasing a hat-trick.
Prediction : 1st Lancelot Du Lac 2nd El Hombre 3rd Katheefa

Jamie Osborne landed this prize last year and can repeat the dose this time with recent C&D winner BRAINS. Victorious in two of his last three starts, the four-year-old can defy an 8lb rise and fend off the challenge of Holiday Magic, who struck at Lingfield last week. Pioneering and Channel Packet have both shown more in recent weeks and have to be respected.
Prediction : 1st Brains 2nd Holiday Magic 3rd Channel Packet

STRAWBERRY JACK won over track and trip earlier in the month, despite his rider dropping his whip late on, and is expected to overcome a 2lb rise to notch a double. He's now won on his last two visits to this venue, which seemingly suits his style of running. Ultimate Avenue drop down from 0-105 level and is expected to take a forward step, while any money for Papa Stour on his second start for new connections would be worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Strawberry Jack 2nd Ultimate Avenue 3rd Papa Stour

PERSIAN SUN kept on at the same pace in the finish when third over 1m4f at Kempton last time and is well worth another try over this longer trip given his unexposed profile as a stayer. Bill Cody ground out victory over the extended 2m at Southwell last time and won't be beaten by stamina, so he may well put up most resistance as he bids to overcome a 2lb rise. Say Nothing sports a first-time hood on her first start for Ed Dunlop and could also take a hand.
Prediction : 1st Persian Sun 2nd Bill Cody 3rd Say Nothing
