UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

A difficult puzzle to solve and a chance is taken on BIRKIE BOY, who has been knocking on the door of late and this looks a good opportunity to get his head in front. Stan Moore's runner has been dropped 1lb for his modest third over 7f at Lingfield last time and this lowly mark can be exploited. Tenyatta is feared most, while better can be expected of Desert Raider.
Prediction : 1st Birkie Boy 2nd Tenyatta 3rd Desert Raider

This contest seems to revolve around the performance of DEIRA MILE, who has made a pleasing start to his career and is fancied to shed his maiden tag. Charlie Johnston's charge shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on into third over 1m at Doncaster earlier this month and more improvement appears likely. A son of Masar, Prince Rasam rates as the biggest danger on debut, while Capla Mojo heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Deira Mile 2nd Prince Rasam 3rd Capla Mojo

Super Schwartz ran a nice race when only narrowly beaten into third over 5f at this venue last time, and this extra yardage is likely to suit. Richard Hughes' charge is fancied to confirm the form with the reopposing Nouveaux (fourth) despite the latter being on 1lb better terms. However, it is SURFACE TO AIR who gets the nod after running his best race to date when third over 5f at Chepstow last time.
Prediction : 1st Surface To Air 2nd Super Schwartz 3rd Nouveaux

FAIR ANGELLICA was value for further when triumphing from an uncompromising position on her debut at Kempton earlier this month, and Richard Hughes' filly looks more than capable of completing a double. Validated has posted some solid efforts in defeat and may give the selection most to think about now reverting to the all-weather, while first-time-out winner Perfect View likely has more to offer on the step up in distance.
Prediction : 1st Fair Angellica 2nd Validated 3rd Perfect View

THE WAITING GAME has proved a revelation since dropping to 6f and, despite being 7lb higher than last month's completed hat-trick, the four-year-old still looks ahead of her mark. Munificent regained the winning thread at Wolverhampton and is one to be wary of upped only 4lb in the ratings, while Araifjan is a potential improver having undergone a wind operation since his fourth-placed finish at the Midlands venue.
Prediction : 1st The Waiting Game 2nd Munificent 3rd Araifjan

Sun Festival is likely to prove popular after getting back on the scoresheet over C&D recently. However, a 3lb rise in the ratings could leave the son of Toronado vulnerable, with CHAGALL making most appeal. The seven-year-old recorded a career-best performance when winning over this trip in July and subsequent efforts in defeat over a mile haven't been devoid of promise. The unexposed Frankfreya gained a breakthrough success here last month and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Chagall 2nd Frankfreya 3rd Sun Festival

Things haven't dropped right for LAERTES of late but he keeps hinting his turn is near and he can gain a deserved success now he's been dropped another 2lb. Darlo Pride has been knocking on the door and should go close, but the wide draw tempers enthusiasm. El Hibri and Macho Mania are others to consider in an open race.
Prediction : 1st Laertes 2nd Darlo Pride 3rd El Hibri

VOODOO RAY got tired on the soft ground at Brighton recently but this looks a good fit for him from an inside draw, and he can get back to winning ways from the front. Golden Moon looks interesting dropping back in trip and wouldn't have to find much to be a serious player. Nothing has gone right for Q Twenty Boy of late but if they go really hard up front, he could have a say in the finish.
Prediction : 1st Voodoo Ray 2nd Golden Moon 3rd Q Twenty Boy
