UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Mister X has improved since entering the handicap ranks and warrants respect following solid win and placed efforts at Brighton and Kempton respectively. However, MADE OF LIR has done it here, winning in comfortable fashion over C&D two starts ago, and she shades the verdict. The dropped-in-class Senor Pockets also brings winning course form to the table and is one to note, along with handicap debutant Albert Cee.
Prediction : 1st Made Of Lir 2nd Mister X 3rd Senor Pockets

CLIPSHAM LA HABANA sets the standard with solid placed efforts at both Kempton and Wolverhampton and a repeat of either of those performances could well be good enough. Mindthegap wasn't disgraced when fourth on debut at Kempton and he could improve enough to figure here, while Bluff, Yankee Spirit and Poetic Jack are all interesting newcomers. The betting market could prove the best guide to their chances.
Prediction : 1st Clipsham La Habana 2nd Bluff 3rd Mindthegap

Oj Lifestyle sprang a big surprise when winning at Newbury two starts ago and although disappointing slightly at Ascot since, he must enter calculations with his sights lowered. However, in receipt of 7lb, HIGHER LAW is fancied to step forward from his opening third at Kempton and land the spoils. Kitaro Kich also drops in grade and shouldn't be too far away.
Prediction : 1st Higher Law 2nd Oj Lifestyle 3rd Kitaro Kich

Epic Express steps up in class having just been denied at this track on his most recent run, and can make his presence felt. Preference is for LEGENDE D'ART, who could benefit from a stiffer stamina test following a creditable fourth over 6f in September. He was successful over this trip on his penultimate outing on turf and has claims if transferring that form to the all-weather, while Yoshimi also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Legende Dart 2nd Epic Express 3rd Yoshimi

SHADES OF SUMMER has filled the runner-up spot on all three career starts and looks set to shed her maiden tag stepping back up in trip for this outing. She went second close home on her last run over 5f and can be in the mix once more, but Lory recorded a much-improved third at Thirsk last time out and is feared on her return to the all-weather. Hit Mac completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Shades Of Summer 2nd Lory 3rd Hit Mac

There has been no stopping ADMIRABLE LAD, who arrives seeking a fourth consecutive win following a comfortable victory at Wolverhampton in September. A 2lb raised mark for his last win may not be enough to stop him. Starjik shed his maiden tag at the eighth time of asking last month and is a threat, while Viewfromthestars is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Admirable Lad 2nd Starjik 3rd Viewfromthestars

The majority of these arrive out of form and it rates a good opportunity for MIMOSET to gain a first win. The Rae Guest-trained inmate looked a different proposition in the first-time blinkers 16 days ago at Yarmouth and, off the same mark now reverting to the all-weather, the three-year-old could prove tough to beat. Steel Duchess may appreciate the return to this distance, with Real Estate making most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Mimoset 2nd Steel Duchess 3rd Real Estate

Howzak can't be ruled out up another 3lb for his second successive victory, with last-time-out winner Thank The Lord also considered in his respective bid for further success. ANGLE LAND may gain a second win of the season. The three-year-old is due to go up 3lb in future races after being denied by a short head to the reopposing Ornate over C&D seven days ago. She enjoys a 4lb swing with that rival.
Prediction : 1st Angle Land 2nd Howzak 3rd Thank The Lord

BUGLE MAJOR arrives in good form after posting a creditable effort in defeat when second at Lingfield last week and could prove tough to beat off the same mark. Course winner Rhubarb Bikini may give the selection most to think about now returned to the all-weather, with Balgair lurking on a dangerous mark now 3lb below his C&D win last October. Mc'ted may fare best of the remainder if putting his latest disappointment behind him.
Prediction : 1st Bugle Major 2nd Rhubarb Bikini 3rd Balgair
