UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

NEW DEFINITION sets the standard with an official rating of 89 and he ought to take all the beating if running to the best of his ability. Casamigos has run to a similar level in both of her career starts and she rates the main danger. Distinguished Lady was given wind surgery shortly after her run at Leicester last month and she has the ability to feature if that can work the oracle.
Prediction : 1st New Definition 2nd Casamigos 3rd Distinguished Lady

OUR ABSENT FRIENDS cruised to victory on his handicap debut at Newcastle earlier this month and, with further improvement likely, a 5lb penalty looks unlikely to prevent another bold bid. Vape features prominently in calculations having been narrowly denied at Kempton last time, along with recent course scorer Epic Express, who drops in class. Healing Power has often been seen to greater effect over further, but a strong pace could see the son of Kodiac thereabouts.
Prediction : 1st Our Absent Friends 2nd Vape 3rd Epic Express

In customary fashion, Bird For Life was slowly into stride on her latest outing, so it's to her credit that she was still able to get up. The eight-year-old can't afford to do that around here, however, and with that in mind a chance is taken on ZYRA'S LIONESS. Sheena West's charge displayed improved form when a good third on her first run following wind surgery and she may well take another step forward. Hidden Pearl heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zyras Lioness 2nd Bird For Life 3rd Hidden Pearl

Chola Empire drops in class on his return to the all-weather, having won over this C&D on debut last October. He could go well in this company and may prove the biggest danger to UNDER THE TWILIGHT, who ran with plenty of credit when third at Wolverhampton where she lost a shoe. She may make amends here from a decent draw, while the veteran Fighting Temeraire is also entitled to get involved where it matters on his second run after a break.
Prediction : 1st Under The Twilight 2nd Chola Empire 3rd Fighting Temeraire

With the stable in decent form it may be worth giving LAURENTIA the nod here, if we ignore her last run where the soft going was against her at Windsor. Prior to that she was beaten less than two lengths at Wolverhampton, despite a poor passage off this mark, suggesting she can have a big say. Ower Starlight has placed on his last two starts and may well do so again, while Dark Kris completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Laurentia 2nd Ower Starlight 3rd Dark Kris

Charming Kid was only beaten a neck last time out and a repeat of that would see him get involved, but preference is for SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD. He bounced back to form with a convincing C&D success last month and, having won off a mark of 78 in the past, his new rating may not stop him following up here. Glasstrees and Angle Land are others capable of a decent showing in what appears to be a competitive event on paper.
Prediction : 1st Sir Rodneyredblood 2nd Charming Kid 3rd Glasstrees

IDEE FIXEE shaped with a lot of promise on his debut over a mile at Windsor earlier this month and is taken to get off the mark at the second time of asking. The son of Dubawi was doing his best work in the closing stages that day and created the impression this extra distance will ideally suit. Modaara is a well-bred filly that also offers strong appeal, while George Eliot is an interesting newcomer to note in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Idee Fixee 2nd Modaara 3rd George Eliot
