UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

LEZARDRIEUX made a winning return to action over 5f at Yarmouth six days ago and Grant Tuer's progressive gelding should be hard to beat once again today, despite having to carry a 6lb penalty for that victory. Sur Mer was third to the selection on that occasion and she may get closer to him this afternoon now that first-time cheekpieces are applied. Others to consider are Sampers Seven and Comeatchoo.
Prediction : 1st Lezardrieux 2nd Sur Mer 3rd Sampers Seven

YOU'VE CHARMED ME was a well-backed favourite prior to finishing third on her debut over 5f at Lingfield 10 days ago. She was green on that occasion but with that experience now under her belt, Archie Watson's filly can provide her supporters with some compensation this afternoon. Julie Johnston and Colorando are others who should put their experience to good use, while any market support for Copinet or Pump It Up would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Youve Charmed Me 2nd Julie Johnston 3rd Colorando

NIGHT MOMENT was only denied by a short head on his debut at Kempton a week ago and Mark Johnston's colt is hard to oppose on the back of that performance. Vamoos could prove to be the main threat to the selection having shown some promise at Wolverhampton on debut. The rest all need to improve to win but Mark of The Man is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Night Moment 2nd Vamoos 3rd Mark of The Man

HUMAN NATURE finished runner-up here in March before striking at Kempton last week and, now moved up in distance, is expected to go in again for Stuart Williams. A 4lb penalty is negated by Marco Ghiani's claim, and the pair could have the measure of these. Royal Dynasty seldom runs badly on synthetic surfaces and was probably the one to take from the race when third at Lingfield earlier this month, while Lothario is also worth keeping on the right side of.
Prediction : 1st Human Nature 2nd Royal Dynasty 3rd Lothario

Saeed Bin Suroor has a 26-63 record with his classic generation horses here in the last five years and this represents a fine opening for HISTORIC to get off the mark. A late foal when making two starts last year, he is likely to have strengthened up plenty over the last few months and appeals most on his all-weather debut. Animal Instinct signed off his 2019 campaign with a victory and has had a wind operation, while Hamish Macbeth completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Historic 2nd Animal Instinct 3rd Hamish Macbeth

Stone Mason failed to land a gamble on his debut for Mick Appleby at Newcastle a fortnight ago but could be more forward here now dropping in distance, while Violet's Lads is often thereabouts at the finish at this level but probably doesn't win as often as she should. AXEL JACKLIN made every yard to claim a second successive win at Lingfield earlier in the year and, only up 3lb, could take some pegging back here if similar tactics are employed.
Prediction : 1st Axel Jacklin 2nd Stone Mason 3rd Violets Lads

THREE C'S has won on four of his last five starts and arrives here on a hat-trick, having returned from a break to strike over course and distance earlier this month. George Boughey's charge is expected to remain competitive under a penalty and extend his winning sequence. Andaleep lost little in defeat when runner-up over this trip at Kempton recently and can fight it out with the consistent Caribbean Spring for the silver medal.
Prediction : 1st Three Cs 2nd Andaleep 3rd Caribbean Spring

ALPHABETICAL benefitted from the step up from 1m when making a winning handicap debut over 1m6f at Yarmouth last week and rates the one to beat now turned out swiftly under a penalty for that seven-length success. Sophar Sogood has been knocking hard on the door over 1m3f and 1m4f and wouldn't be winning out of turn if this longer trip unlocks some improvement. American Dreamer and Unbridled Light need to step up on their previous efforts to figure.
Prediction : 1st Alphabetical 2nd Sophar Sogood 3rd American Dreamer
