UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Almarada Prince completed a double when landing a novice contest at Hamilton last month and merits respect in his current form, but the son of Prince Of Lir may prove vulnerable carrying a double penalty in this event. INVINCIBLE AURA finished a respectable 11th in a valuable auction race at Newmarket earlier this month and he makes plenty of appeal in these calmer waters. Eighth Army and Delicacy are others to note after displaying ability on their respective appearances.
Prediction : 1st Invincible Aura 2nd Almarada Prince 3rd Eighth Army

AGOSTINO ran better than the beaten distance on his fourth-placed finish over C&D recently after being slowly away due to the blindfold being stuck. The Robert Cowell-trained inmate has been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Fletcher's Flight makes his handicap debut off what appears to be a fair mark and is entitled to be in the mix following his Redcar victory, while others to note include Miss Gallagher and Indie Skies.
Prediction : 1st Agostino 2nd Fletchers Flight 3rd Miss Gallagher

LORD MELBOURNE posted another creditable effort in defeat when runner-up in a maiden contest at Pontefract earlier in October and a similar level of performance for the son of Wootton Bassett may be enough to earn a breakthrough success here. Incremental was beaten just under two lengths on his debut at Kempton in April and could offer the most resistance to the selection, shortly followed by penalised-winner Man Of Monaco, who displayed a willing attitude in his victory at Beverley last month.
Prediction : 1st Lord Melbourne 2nd Incremental 3rd Man Of Monaco

CREME CHANTILLY accounted for her nearest rival by just over three lengths over C&D earlier in the month and she was hit with a 7lb rise for that display. The daughter of New Bay may have more to come, so she could prove difficult to beat. Emma Emilleen put in a respectable effort in fourth over 1m3f at Kempton last time and is an interesting contender dropping back in trip. Tamaluk completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Creme Chantilly 2nd Emma Emilleen 3rd Tamaluk

STYLE OF LIFE was victorious at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start before disappointing at Brighton when she finished ninth. The Jamie Osborne-trained filly could easily bounce back on her return to the all-weather, so she is worth siding with. The main threat is Meng Tian, who has put in two solid efforts in this grade the last twice and can be thereabouts, while Lost In Time is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Style Of Life 2nd Meng Tian 3rd Lost In Time

LADY BRACKEN has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice, including when beaten just over two lengths into third at Musselburgh, and she remains on the same rating. The three-year-old ought to go close with a repeat of that effort. Grand Duchess Olga takes a slight step up in distance, which could eke out more, and has to be respected. Of the remainder, Vienna Girl makes the most appeal after her third at Southwell.
Prediction : 1st Lady Bracken 2nd Grand Duchess Olga 3rd Vienna Girl

LAST DATE appears the one to beat here as the only course winner in the field having won here three times during his career. Without a win since April 2021, he was last seen finishing second here off the same mark and may have been found a race he can win. Many Rivers could be interesting with Shariq Mohd claiming 7lb from the saddle, leaving Poetic Jack as the likeliest to follow them home.
Prediction : 1st Last Date 2nd Many Rivers 3rd Poetic Jack

Mick's Spirit has been frustrating recently with a third at Southwell and a nose second here last time out, but he has been put up 2lb for that and may have to settle for a place here. SO SLEEPY showed plenty of improvement to win with ease here on her latest outing and another 6lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop the daughter of Oasis Dream from following up, leaving Wolverhampton runner-up Josies Kid as the third to consider in a tightly-matched contest.
Prediction : 1st So Sleepy 2nd Micks Spirit 3rd Josies Kid
