UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

SIR LAURENCE GRAFF seemed to struggle on the ground at Sandown when last seen and this represents an ideal opportunity to break the maiden. A full-brother to Vinnie Roe Stakes winner Interpretation, this colt is bred to stay and the step up in trip can bring out the best in him. Think First has a 7lb penalty to overcome for a convincing win here last month, while Counter is another open to progress.
Prediction : 1st Sir Laurence Graff 2nd Counter 3rd Think First

Not seen since disappointing when well fancied for the Albany Stakes in June, FULLY WET is taken to bounce back to winning ways here. The daughter of Kodiac left a lasting impression when scoring on her debut at Goodwood and she is preferred to Ti Amo Sempre, who was also given a summer break following some promising efforts to begin her career. River Naver and Young And Fun are others who are open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st Fully Wet 2nd Ti Amo Sempre 3rd River Naver

MADE OF LIR isn't likely to have an easy task from a wide draw but, granted Rossa Ryan can get her out quickly, her form entitles her to plenty of respect. She can get off the mark at the eighth time of asking, with Gone looking best placed to chase her home having shaped well over C&D on her penultimate start. Bojink and Rowdown Roza are capable of being in the mix as well.
Prediction : 1st Made Of Lir 2nd Gone 3rd Bojink

EPIC EXPRESS proved well suited by the drop in trip when successful over C&D a week ago and Chris Dwyer's charge is fancied to follow up under a 5lb penalty. Legende D'art is usually seen to greater effect over 7f, but he likes it here and remains of interest, especially if getting a good pace to aim at. Market support should be noted for handicap debutant Maiden's Green, while the consistent Thaki is another who merits a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Epic Express 2nd Legende Dart 3rd Maidens Green

GRIGGY made the most of a falling handicap mark when winning at Wolverhampton on his latest outing. John Butler's six-year-old was nudged up 2lb for that narrow success, but he remains extremely well treated on previous form and is expected to go well again. So Savvy might still be a maiden, but he's been running well in defeat and improvement could be forthcoming for a trainer who often does well with his new recruits. Real Estate heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Griggy 2nd So Savvy 3rd Real Estate

YIMOU has been hard to predict over the last couple of seasons but he's now attractively weighted and recent performances have been highly encouraging. With proven form on the surface and effectiveness at the trip, this could be the time to catch him. Top weight High Velocity is consistent and also merits consideration, while Obtain is respected following her 5f success at Wolverhampton, though a 7lb higher mark makes life tougher.
Prediction : 1st Yimou 2nd High Velocity 3rd Obtain

The unexposed FLYAWAYDREAM was headed near the finish over C&D three weeks ago but had already done enough to see off the rest of the field. This doesn't look much tougher despite the increased field size and this son of Farhh is fancied to go one place better. Far Away Thoughts continues to slide down the ratings and, still lightly raced, Andrew Balding's charge could be weighted to go close on his return from a break. Brunel Charm can also go close.
Prediction : 1st Flyawaydream 2nd Far Away Thoughts 3rd Brunel Charm
