UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

ALEXA'S PRINCESS has been campaigned exclusively over 5f so far and could relish this extra two furlongs. The Karl Burke-trained filly outran her odds when finishing fourth at Ripon last month and an opening mark of 65 looks workable. Richard Hannon is represented by Swear and Jilted, with marginal preference for the former who has shown slightly more. Princess Naomi produced her best run to date when third at Chepstow and isn't dismissed lightly.
Prediction : 1st Alexas Princess 2nd Swear 3rd Princess Naomi

It is hard to get away from the Michael Bell-trained LILA GIRL, who has won both of her starts this season over C&D and still looks to be improving. She has been given a 6lb rise for her most recent effort and that may not be enough to stop her from landing the hat-trick. Eternal Glory was a shade disappointing at Hamilton last time but, if settling better here, she is worthy of consideration. Adelaise was a respectable fifth on her handicap debut and may still be well treated.
Prediction : 1st Lila Girl 2nd Adelaise 3rd Eternal Glory

G'DAAY was an easy winner at Lingfield just over a week ago when the first-time blinkers appeared to do the trick. They are on again this afternoon and, although a 9lb rise is sure to make things more difficult, he has to be respected. Damaar drops back in trip after being keen at Newmarket last time. Take A Stand finished well at Lingfield last month and could go well if getting the breaks.
Prediction : 1st Gdaay 2nd Take A Stand 3rd Damaar

INTERNATIONALANGEL recorded a four-timer over this course and distance last year and it would be no surprise if there was more to come from the five-year-old mare. After a gallant effort behind the subsequent Group 2 winner Highfield Princess on her penultimate start, the daughter of Dark Angel gave a good account to finish second at Longchamp and she gets the nod to land the spoils today. Soft Whisper remains unexposed at this trip and looks a likely challenger, while Bounce The Blues can follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Internationalangel 2nd Soft Whisper 3rd Bounce The Blues

PRINCESS SHABNAM showed a determined attitude to get the better of a well-fancied rival at this venue last time and hit the line with plenty of conviction. If the progressive three-year-old can reproduce that effort, she rates as a big player and may be able to repeat the victory. Mohareb usually performs well at this venue and must be respected, while Ayr Harbour is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Princess Shabnam 2nd Mohareb 3rd Ayr Harbour

Although PUNDA MARIA was no match for the winner last time out at Leicester, the daughter of Oasis Dream relished the step back in trip to arguably record a career-best effort. She pulled four lengths clear of the third and may be underestimated off an unchanged mark of 62. Mcqueen has made the frame on his last two starts and rates as the most immediate danger. Shifter remains unexposed and is worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Punda Maria 2nd Mcqueen 3rd Shifter

STAR FORTRESS ran with plenty of credit to finish runner-up on debut at Windsor and the daughter of Sea The Stars makes plenty of appeal. Capstan has shown ability on both starts to date and he is likely to enter calculations along with Royal Invitation, who got off the mark at the second time of asking at Newcastle in October and remains open to progression.
Prediction : 1st Star Fortress 2nd Capstan 3rd Royal Invitation

ENSHRINE appeared to need every yard of a mile when shedding the maiden tag on her second outing at Windsor in May and the extra couple of furlongs on this occasion appear likely to bring about a fair amount of progression. Sonnerie Power has finished third in both starts to date and commands respect, while his stable companion Flag Of Truth shaped nicely at Leicester on debut and is expected to appreciate stepping up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Enshrine 2nd Sonnerie Power 3rd Flag Of Truth
