UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

A winner over 5f here on his penultimate outing, ZACHARY wasn't quite able to pick up the leaders when turned out under a penalty at Newcastle six days later. Charlie Johnston's charge ought to relish a step up in trip on that evidence, though, and he gets the nod. The booking of Billy Loughnane aboard handicap debutant Alfanatical catches the eye and she is worth a market check, while Upper Hand is most appealing of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zachary 2nd Alfanatical 3rd Upper Hand

Bulldog Drummond sets the standard with an official rating of 70 and must be respected back in a maiden, but preference is for EDERGOLE'S GIFT. Conrad Allen's filly finished a creditable second at Brighton in September and any further improvement can see her shed the maiden tag. Karl Burke often excels in these types of contests, so Graceful Mary warrants a market check ahead of her racecourse debut.
Prediction : 1st Edergoles Gift 2nd Bulldog Drummond 3rd Graceful Mary

NEAPOLITAN was on target in a warm Kempton novice last time with a performance that suggested he ought to more than capable of saddling a penalty today. Wonder Smile was no match for a ready winner over C&D a fortnight ago, but Hugo Palmer's charge won't go down without a fight here. Wide Margin finished fifth in that same contest and might be able to close the gap with improvement on the cards.
Prediction : 1st Neapolitan 2nd Wonder Smile 3rd Wide Margin

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success at Lingfield last week, TOUCHWOOD is taken to follow up under a 5lb penalty. That may be at the main expense of The Spotlight Kid, who has been knocking on the door of late, and the unexposed Elusive Angel, who is expected to bounce back from an underwhelming effort at Yarmouth. King Of Ithaca has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate victory at Kempton.
Prediction : 1st Touchwood 2nd The Spotlight Kid 3rd Elusive Angel

It may be a long time between drinks for GOT NO DOLLARS, but he has been knocking on the door of late and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to regain the winning thread. Stuart Williams' charge is narrowly preferred to Villalobos, who is winless since March but has been runner-up on two of his last three outings, and the capable Bletchley Storm. A return to the all-weather might aid the cause of Someone's Wish with soft ground proving to be a barrier at Yarmouth last time.
Prediction : 1st Got No Dollars 2nd Villalobos 3rd Bletchley Storm

LILKIAN bounced back to winning ways with a commanding performance at Lingfield last week and a 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to prevent the six-year-old from going in again. A highly encouraging second in a claimer at Kempton last time out, Masterclass can give the selection the most to think about, along with Crown Dreams, who could be off a nice mark on his handicap debut.
Prediction : 1st Lilkian 2nd Masterclass 3rd Crown Dreams

The in-form Suanni arrives here off the back of a narrow defeat over C&D last time and he looks primed to offer another bold bid from the front today off the same mark. Darryll Holland's charge is likely to have company at the head of affairs in the shape of Jacquelina, who wasn't beaten far despite finishing fifth over C&D last time, which could set up the race for STREET PARADE. Michael Attwater's charge would ideally prefer further but he can finish strongly off a brisk early gallop.
Prediction : 1st Street Parade 2nd Suanni 3rd Jacquelina

BOLD RIBB looked ahead of the handicapper when scoring in ready fashion over 1m 2f at Lingfield last time and he can follow up that success. John Ryan's runner has been handed a 5lb penalty for that success, but the four-year-old won more cosily than winning distance may suggest so that burden appears lenient. Moogie rates as the biggest danger after winning over C&D last time and she isn't ruled out of defying her 4lb rise, while Boasty heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Bold Ribb 2nd Moogie 3rd Boasty
