UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Having landed a classified event in March, BILLIAN lost nothing in defeat when finishing third in handicap company at Wolverhampton last time out. Recent form can often count for plenty in these types of races, so he edges the vote over Monsieur Fantaisie, who wasn't beaten far on his latest outing. Hannah's Return should appreciate the return to an artificial surface and is another to keep onside, while Fristel completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Billian 2nd Monsieur Fantaisie 3rd Hannahs Return

FISCAL POLICY was narrowly denied when making his return to action at Kempton last week and the son of Profitable makes plenty of appeal in his bid to go one better. Spanish Angel remains well treated from his current mark and must feature prominently in calculations, along with Mustaffiz, who hit the woodwork over C&D last month. Tomshalfbrother hasn't been seen since April 2022 when he won at Southwell and the seven-year-old isn't discounted.
Prediction : 1st Fiscal Policy 2nd Spanish Angel 3rd Mustaffiz

Softening ground conditions might have been the undoing of PATERNOSTER SQUARE, who was well supported ahead of his Thirsk debut last month. The son of Invincible Spirit ought to have learnt from that experience, though, and he might be able to take a marked step forward today. Stablemate Owl Island is related to some smart types and makes appeal from his low draw, while the Charlie Hills-trained Sugar Hill is another that warrants serious consideration.
Prediction : 1st Paternoster Square 2nd Owl Island 3rd Sugar Hill

This could go the way of previous C&D winner ANIFICAS BEAUTY, who kept on well to win over 6f at this track on her latest outing. She has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that success, but Harry Davies negates most of that rise with his 3lb claim and she must be respected with that in mind. Monaadhil scored over C&D last month and can give the selection most to think about off 2lb higher. Triggered completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Anificas Beauty 2nd Monaadhil 3rd Triggered

Denied by a fairly narrow margin at Nottingham last week, TEMPERED SOUL gets the vote on his return to the all-weather. He finished a creditable fourth over a mile at Kempton on his racecourse bow in March, and the fact he been given a speculative entry for the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot must warrant a lot of respect. Sir Raj is feared most on his Polytrack bow, while Out Rule is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Tempered Soul 2nd Sir Raj 3rd Out Rule

KENTUCKY KINGDOM has filled the runner-up spot the last twice over C&D and has been raised just 2lb for those efforts, which still leaves him 2lb lower than his last winning mark back in February last year. Therefore, the son of Camacho is still feasibly treated and can go close once more. The main threat could be Jenson Benson, who steps back up to this distance after finishing third over 7f last time and could have a say, along with C&D winner Star From Afarhh.
Prediction : 1st Kentucky Kingdom 2nd Jenson Benson 3rd Star From Afarhh

A chance can be taken on EGOISTE, who showed improved form last time at Southwell when fifth in a first-time hood returning from a wind operation for the David Menuisier stable. The four-year-old could take another step forward, as he steps back up in distance and has Harry Davies on board claiming 3lb to aid his chances. Captain Pugwash remains on the same mark after his recent third at Wolverhampton, while Alice Kitty appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Egoiste 2nd Captain Pugwash 3rd Alice Kitty
