UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

PALACE VIEW ran a fine race to finish third at Kempton on debut earlier this month, giving the impression that this extra furlong should be well within his grasp. The son of Dark Angel could prove hard to beat today with improvement likely. Almutawakel was a beaten favourite at Epsom when last seen but is worth forgiving and could bounce back. Sir Mark Prescott won this race last year and relies on Blindedbythelights this time around.
Prediction : 1st Palace View 2nd Almutawakel 3rd Blindedbythelights

The progressive AT THE DOUBLE arrives here on the back of two victories last month and he's fancied to get the hat-trick up here. Mountain Road went down by the narrowest of margins on his first attempt at this trip last time and looks a big player. Champagne City made all at Salisbury last month and can still be competitive off a 5lb higher mark.
Prediction : 1st At The Double 2nd Mountain Road 3rd Champagne City

This drop in trip and the application of a first-time visor may see DAMASCUS FINISH get off the mark at the 17th time of asking having finished fifth over three furlongs further here last month. The Mad Monk won twice earlier in the year and he's steadily to dropped to what looks like a winnable mark again. The drop in distance appeared to suit Glencoe Boy last time and he's not easily dismissed.
Prediction : 1st Damascus Finish 2nd The Mad Monk 3rd Glencoe Boy

Saeed bin Suroor continues to have his string in fine order at present and that run may continue here courtesy of OPEN MIND, who can turn the tables with Bear Profit. He was slowly away on that occasion and is now 6lb better off with that same rival for a three-length defeat last month. Meishar has some smart Irish form in the book and is interesting making his first start for Jane Chapple-Hyam.
Prediction : 1st Open Mind 2nd Bear Profit 3rd Meishar

Gordons Aura should benefit from first-time blinkers this evening and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back today. That said, MYRIAD looked the winner for a long way when upped to 2m last time and this drop back in distance looks ideal, so he gets the verdict. Timestamp's winning run came to an last time but he might have more to offer returned to the all-weather.
Prediction : 1st Myriad 2nd Timestamp 3rd Gordons Aura

Amasova looks set to be popular after winning here nine days ago, but a 4lb rise and a drop in distance could make life tougher for the daughter of Pivotal. SHAMSHON has been running well on turf of late and the veteran returns to the all-weather 8lb lower than when last seen here in April, so he may be worth chancing. Thakrah rates best of the remainder after winning on her most recent outing.
Prediction : 1st Shamshon 2nd Amasova 3rd Thakrah

NO SUCH LUCK was running well in defeat a few months ago and the son of Tamayuz may be worth chancing having undergone a wind operation. Star Of St Louis looks an obvious threat to the selection on paper after prevailing here last month and he should remain competitive. Alwajd is another to consider now up in distance, while Lethal Touch also merits a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st No Such Luck 2nd Star Of St Louis 3rd Alwajd

Blairlogie gained a deserved first win after 32 attempts last time and the Laura Mongan-trained inmate is one to consider again this evening. That said, LETTER OF THE LAW improved for a first-time visor at Chepstow 13 days ago and he could benefit from this extra distance. Jeanette May is another with valid claims based on her second over C&D two starts ago, while Hammock should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Letter Of The Law 2nd Blairlogie 3rd Jeanette May
