UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

With solid form thin on the ground, the Laura Mongan-trained GINTINI gets a narrow vote. The selection's stamina looked stretched by the 7f at Lingfield 12 days ago and the conditions of this race looks a good opportunity for him to gain a first career success. Ginny Jo may prove the chief threat now returned to the C&D of her best performance, while lightly-raced duo Opportunity Knocks and All Dunn are still open to improvement.
Prediction : 1st Gintini 2nd Ginny Jo 3rd Opportunity Knocks

STAR OF EPSOM proved a different proposition on his return to racing when landing a 1m2f handicap at Lingfield in November and he looks capable of completing the double now entering a classified stakes contest. First Snowfall shaped better than the bare form suggest in first-time blinkers at Kempton last month and shouldn't be underestimated now dropped in trip. Calcutta Dream finished third over today's C&D when last seen in this sphere and can't be discounted either.
Prediction : 1st Star Of Epsom 2nd First Snowfall 3rd Calcutta Dream

Valkyrian makes her stable debut for the Jamie Osborne yard and is likely to prove competitive on this return to 7f. Preference, however, is for MARINARA, who was last seen running a fine second at Chantilly and looks capable of picking up a race of this nature. The Ivy and Evenstar are entitled to build on their respective first appearances when both finishing third at Southwell last month and they merit consideration in an open-looking contest.
Prediction : 1st Marinara 2nd Valkyrian 3rd The Ivy

With the McEntee team firing in plenty of winners, it may be best to side with BOBBY ON THE BEAT, who carries a 5lb penalty after winning over this trip at Lingfield when getting up close home. Expert Opinion is another to consider with the return to six furlongs possibly in his favour, along with a drop in class, though stablemate Jupiter Express could be the better of the Michael Appleby pair, after being sent off favourite last time out.
Prediction : 1st Bobby On The Beat 2nd Jupiter Express 3rd Expert Opinion

Resilient Power got up late at Wolverhampton last month and seems to have improved for being gelded, so he could go well off 4lb higher in the handicap, but a chance is taken on IMPULSIVE LADY. The daughter of Frankel sports a first-time hood, which may help her last home if she makes the running as she did when fourth at Southwell. Blueflagflyinghigh has been gelded since his last run and is well worth a market check as well.
Prediction : 1st Impulsive Lady 2nd Resilient Power 3rd Blueflagflyinghigh

Siam Fox ran on to score at Wolverhampton four days ago and although he has to carry a 5lb penalty for that, his jockey claims 7lb which balances things out. He will need a clear run which isn't guaranteed, and may struggle to get past ROCKET YOGI, a solid third at Leicester in October and gelded since. Holie Doyle could get a tune out of him here, with Mawkeb another to consider after a solid second in first-time blinkers.
Prediction : 1st Rocket Yogi 2nd Siam Fox 3rd Mawkeb

REECELTIC is somewhat unlucky not to be arriving here on a hat-trick, having been narrowly denied at Lingfield on his most recent outing. Pat Phelan's charge remains feasibly handicapped and he can gain compensation here at the main expense of the consistent Reset Button, who is winless since this time last year but has run well in defeat the last twice. Bass Strait is entitled to improve on his first run for new connections in November.
Prediction : 1st Reeceltic 2nd Reset Button 3rd Bass Strait
