UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

A few look to hold a chance, with GALAXY GAZER given the narrow verdict. The daughter of Iffraaj looked like she could strip fitter for the return to racing at Carlisle 15 days ago and her previous efforts would give her strong claims in this contest. Rock Girl could prove the biggest danger after posting some solid efforts in recent months, with the lightly-raced Butterfly Effect another to consider. Expeditious would be a threat to all if lining up (declared to run at Southwell on Wednesday).
Prediction : 1st Galaxy Gazer 2nd Rock Girl 3rd Butterfly Effect

Mostallim might find life tougher after a 2lb rise and, with no apprentice to claim either, he could be worth taking on. The David Simcock-trained MASTERCLASS has the most compelling claims after posting a good second at Kempton 15 days ago and a 1lb rise in the handicap shouldn't stop him from going close again. Healing Power is another to consider after being collared late on over 7f at Lingfield last month, while Astral Beat and Under Curfew also warrant respect in a competitive-looking race.
Prediction : 1st Masterclass 2nd Healing Power 3rd Mostallim

In a moderate-looking contest, THREE DONS appears the safest option. The son of Fast Company went close to shedding his maiden tag over this distance at Kempton in March and he is entitled to strip fitter for his return to racing when last seen finishing third in late July. Somedayonedaynever may prove the chief threat after posting two solid efforts on her last two runs. It is still early days for Counterattack and any market support would make the George Boughey-trained gelding interesting.
Prediction : 1st Three Dons 2nd Somedayonedaynever 3rd Counterattack

ALL GO was a deserved winner over 7f at Southwell last time and there could be plenty more to come from the daughter of Bobby's Kitten as she goes back up to a mile. Shifter is a key player on the form of her Chelmsford win in July, though more recent form has not been up to scratch, while Glorious Peaches was a convincing winner at Southwell on her penultimate outing.
Prediction : 1st All Go 2nd Shifter 3rd Glorious Peaches

It hasn't been for the want of trying that JANUS has been unable to get his head in front since Lingfield in June and his recent close call over C&D gave the impression that may be about to change. The seven-year-old is narrowly preferred to the hat-trick-seeking Angels Roc, who is 8lb well-in following an impressive apprentice handicap success at Brighton. A maiden through nine starts, Heatherdown Hero is another who has been knocking on the door and can have a say, along with Jacks Profit.
Prediction : 1st Janus 2nd Angels Roc 3rd Heatherdown Hero

Everything seemed to click for CITY VAULTS when going significantly up in trip at Redcar last week and now that he has regained the winning thread, there could be even more to come from David O'Meara's charge over further. Captain Howse likes to go hard from the front, as he did when getting off the mark at Wolverhampton, but those tactics can play to the strengths of the selection here. Bird For Life hinted a return to winning ways is nearing when third at Lingfield last time.
Prediction : 1st City Vaults 2nd Captain Howse 3rd Bird For Life
