UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

PUELLA LAW displayed plenty of promise when a close second on her racecourse debut at Beverley in August and John Quinn's filly could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Just Rita hit the crossbar over a mile here a couple of weeks ago and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, although Asteverdi and Rogue State should not be discounted.
Prediction : 1st Puella Law 2nd Just Rita 3rd Asteverdi

MACHIAVELLIAN LADY was far from disgraced when filling third place on her debut in a valuable event over 7f at Newbury a couple of weeks ago. That form suggests that the daughter of Too Darn Hot could get off the mark at the second attempt. However, Sovereign Queen should not be discounted following her second at Leicester last time, while Squeaker and Dancingwithmyself are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Machiavellian Lady 2nd Sovereign Queen 3rd Squeaker

FULL REGALIA has run well in defeat on her last two starts, despite being a beaten favourite last time, and it would be no surprise to see her get off the mark here. That said, Crowning could give the selection plenty to think about if leaving her underwhelming effort last time well behind. Resonance could only manage seventh on her handicap bow when last seen but she should not be discounted in this company.
Prediction : 1st Full Regalia 2nd Crowning 3rd Resonance

MONAADHIL was a winner over C&D two starts ago. Sent off favourite here a week later, Ruth Carr's charge kept on well for fifth having settled too far off the pace. His current mark would appear to be well within range and, given a more prominent ride, he could regain the winning thread. Blue Flame showed more upon the fitting of first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Kempton and must enter calculations along with Thomas Equinas.
Prediction : 1st Monaadhil 2nd Blue Flame 3rd Thomas Equinas

LOST IN TIME has been running to a consistent level on the turf recently and, though he remains winless on the all-weather, the son of Dubawi has often gone well in defeat. If he can negotiate a relatively wide draw breaking from stall eight, then Dean Ivory's charge might be able to cash in against some out-of-form rivals. The unexposed Hildegard is a half-sister to C&D winner Cavalluccio and might have more to offer on this surface. Eton College is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Lost In Time 2nd Hildegard 3rd Eton College

Lethal Touch arrives in fine fettle having notched up a brace of victories at Epsom recently, but a chance is taken on MOOGIE. James Fanshawe's filly has struggled on both of her handicap starts, but she's been given a short break since her latest Newmarket effort. Eased 4lb in the ratings for that run, the daughter of Mastercraftsman is bred to be far better than her current mark and might improve for the return to an artificial surface. Mountain Flower heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Moogie 2nd Lethal Touch 3rd Mountain Flower

Bernard Spierpoint has won four races on the all-weather and could go well here, though he would need a career best off his current mark and may have to settle for a place. Agostino remains a maiden after 14 races but has come home second in his last two and will be looking to go one better, but PHOENIX GLOW is still preferred. Second to Brian The Snail at Bath last month, he will be attacking fast and late and gets on well with jockey George Bass.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Glow 2nd Agostino 3rd Bernard Spierpoint

Spit Spot is the only C&D winner here and is hard to discount having won here in May off 1lb higher, though she hasn't been at her best lately and others are preferred. LUNAR SHADOW was last seen finishing fourth over hurdles, but won at Bath in August on the Flat and a repeat of that off 3lb higher may be good enough. Spring Glow can follow them home under Marco Ghiani.
Prediction : 1st Lunar Shadow 2nd Spit Spot 3rd Spring Glow

In a wide-open contest it may pay to side with TRADESMAN, an impressive winner here over shorter in August but seemingly out of sorts when sixth at Wolverhampton the following month. He can hopefully bounce back to form here after a month off. Socially Shady drops in class and won a similar race off this mark at Lingfield last November, while Team Endeavour, a solid runner-up last time out, is another to take seriously.
Prediction : 1st Tradesman 2nd Socially Shady 3rd Team Endeavour
