UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

LADY AVA kept on well for third over this trip at Windsor last month and Ed Dunlop's charge is taken to transfer that form to the all-weather. However, the booking of Oisin Murphy for Persian Phoenix makes her of interest and the daughter of Phoenix Of Spain can give the selection plenty to think about. Vice Captain is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Lady Ava 2nd Persian Phoenix 3rd Vice Captain

This could go the way of GUNS AND FLOWERS, who makes her stable debut for Alice Haynes following a fair fourth at Dundalk when trained by Adrian Murray. She left the impression there would be more to come up in trip and can get the better of the progressive Mistress Teite, who makes her all-weather debut following a creditable fourth at Windsor. Coastal Sunrise is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Guns And Flowers 2nd Mistress Teite 3rd Coastal Sunrise

Opera Forever sports a first-time hood following a game win at Newbury when last seen in October, but she has to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, so CHERRY shades the vote. The daughter of Dubawi is related to several nice types, and her dam was Group 2-placed at Royal Ascot during her career. Red Danielle was only narrowly denied at Goodwood last month and also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Cherry 2nd Opera Forever 3rd Red Danielle

MORE THAN A GREY, who swaps cheekpieces for first-time blinkers, appeals at this level and, reunited with Neil Callan, he could provide a bit of value in his bid for a breakthrough success. The handicapper has given the three-year-old every chance from a basement rating and, having acted well on the Polytrack at Kempton last time, the surface holds no fears. Old rival Captain Wentworth is also respected but the improving Inverinate might be more of a threat.
Prediction : 1st More Than A Grey 2nd Inverinate 3rd Captain Wentworth

You Saw Brigadoon has done well since upped in trip after joining Stuart Williams and, having won over C&D last month, he is respected off just 3lb higher. However, DABBOUS, who was just a neck away in second that day, looks a good bet to turn that form around on these revised terms. This does looks a slightly deeper race and the likes of Kodiman and Flame Of Kodiac are also taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Dabbous 2nd You Saw Brigadoon 3rd Kodiman

Savoy Brown exploited a good opportunity to win a classified stakes at Lingfield in March and is highly respected back in a handicap off a competitive mark. However, his two previous visits to this circuit yielded little in return and he may be worth taking on over this longer trip. The more proven stayer DAS KAPITAL is more appealing on these terms, especially with the in-form Oisin Murphy booked for the ride. Dereham is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Das Kapital 2nd Savoy Brown 3rd Dereham

In an open event, in might be worth taking a chance on SELWAN. A winner on the all-weather when trained in France, he made a low-key stable debut, finishing down the field at Goodwood 12 days ago, but is entitled to take a step forward. The lightly-raced son of Zelzal could be far more potent back on an artificial surface, while Groundbreaker continues to run well in defeat and is considered, along with Misty Dancer.
Prediction : 1st Selwan 2nd Groundbreaker 3rd Misty Dancer

Anificas Beauty came up short in her hat-trick bid last month, but Gary Moore's filly remains of interest off just 2lb higher. Recent Yarmouth scorer Invested, a course winner on her second start, could find further improvement in first-time cheekpieces and merits the utmost respect, though the vote goes to BELL SONG. The daughter of Saxon Warrior showed a fair level of ability in her three qualifying runs and ought to be capable of better now pitched into handicaps.
Prediction : 1st Bell Song 2nd Anificas Beauty 3rd Invested
