UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

WADDAT is three from three on an all-weather surface and made a winning course debut over this trip in February. He has a further 5lb rise to contend with but looks sure to play a leading role. Intrepid Italian is race-fit and clearly in great heart, having won two Lingfield handicaps last month. He warrants respect despite a further 7lb hike in the ratings, while Sunset Breeze, also chasing three wins in a row, and William Haggas' Minhaaj are just a couple more with claims in a competitive heat.
Prediction : 1st Waddat 2nd Intrepid Italian 3rd Sunset Breeze

AL WATAN made a promising start to his racing career when runner-up over this trip at Newbury and, with Gabriele Malune taking a valuable 3lb off his back, he rates the one to beat. Recovery Run and Final Voyage also shaped encouragingly first time out and they are both likely to run well again, while newcomer Arsonist cannot be overlooked representing a stable that have already been amongst the winners with their juveniles this week.
Prediction : 1st Al Watan 2nd Recovery Run 3rd Final Voyage

Kilig has run well on both starts since returning and is unlikely to be far away, while Cliff Wind has every chance if able to back up her 11/1 success at Wolverhampton. However, a chance is taken on seasonal/handicap debutant QUEEN'S COURSE. She represents a William Haggas stable going great guns at the moment and showed enough in two starts over 6f last year to suggest that an opening mark of 64 is workable.
Prediction : 1st Queens Course 2nd Kilig 3rd Cliff Wind

CRESSIDA failed to justify odds-on favouritism on her seasonal reappearance at Newmarket but improvement could be forthcoming now she moves into handicap company in a first-time hood. Afraid Of Nothing ran well for a long way on her seasonal debut at Kempton and could strip fitter for that outing and mount another bold bid on the front end. The pick of the remainder may be recent Newmarket runner-up Al Dawodiya, who has a 4lb rise to contend with.
Prediction : 1st Cressida 2nd Afraid Of Nothing 3rd Al Dawodiya

Mubtasimah recorded an authoritative victory over this trip in Listed company at Newbury three weeks ago and commands respect, though dual Group 1 scorer BILLESDON BROOK makes most appeal at the weights and could take plenty of beating in receipt of 3lb from the first-named. Her Listed second at Kempton last month is solid form and she could better her last run in the Queen Anne now moving back down in grade. Miss Celestial looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Billesdon Brook 2nd Mubtasimah 3rd Miss Celestial

SEPAHI was denied a hat-trick when finishing second over 6f at Kempton last time but she was keeping on well in the closing stages and it could be that the return to 7f could spark further improvement. Blame Culture has edged up 1lb for picking up the silver medal over this trip at Lingfield but has viable place claims, as do Philamundo, who drops back from 1m2f, and Coverham, who struck off 4lb lower at Lingfield recently.
Prediction : 1st Sepahi 2nd Blame Culture 3rd Philamundo

ASCRAEUS put in a career best when getting off the mark in a maiden at Wolverhampton last month and that form suggests that she may be underestimated by an opening mark of 65. Falconidae's last couple of performances offer plenty of encouragement for her chances this evening, although she does remain a maiden after nine starts. Divine Connection edges out Astroman and Arafi to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ascraeus 2nd Falconidae 3rd Divine Connection

ASTRO KING accounted for a decent field when making a winning debut at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and the son of Kingman merits the utmost respect, despite having to carry a 7lb penalty. Cityzen Serg has hit the crossbar in both of his previous starts and he should be in the mix once again this evening. Others to note are Tenbury Wells and Eternal Prince.
Prediction : 1st Astro King 2nd Cityzen Serg 3rd Tenbury Wells

LADY SANSA displayed plenty of promise when finishing third on her debut over a mile at Kempton earlier in the year. The daughter of Lope De Vega makes plenty of appeal, with the step up in trip likely to suit. Naizagai failed to fire on his seasonal return but he is a player based on his form from last year. Paradise On Earth is entitled to improve for her recent debut experience, while Lingfield winner Flying West competes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lady Sansa 2nd Naizagai 3rd Paradise On Earth
