LUNAR SHADOW arrives here having won her last two starts on the Flat and a 4lb rise for her latest victory, which came over this course and distance, may not be enough to stop her. Sharp Distinction readily accounted for Aqwaam over 1m5f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and he could confirm that form, despite a 5lb swing in the weights.
Prediction : 1st Lunar Shadow 2nd Sharp Distinction 3rd Aqwaam

Soft ground appears to be a valid excuse for LUCKY FIFTEEN's disappointing effort at Goodwood last time. Ralph Beckett's gelding had been highly progressive prior to that defeat and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back over a course and distance that he won over in June. Queen Regent was not disgraced in a valuable event at Newmarket last time and she edges out Man Of Monaco and Silver Gunn to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Lucky Fifteen 2nd Queen Regent 3rd Man Of Monaco

CARIAD appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over this course and distance on Saturday and she is very hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. Uncle Dick has won three of his last five starts and was badly hampered at a crucial time when fifth at Wolverhampton most recently. With a clear run, he could prove to be the main threat to the selection ahead of Inverlochy and Tribal Wisdom.
Prediction : 1st Cariad 2nd Uncle Dick 3rd Inverlochy

14:05 Chelmsford City

PANAREA made the perfect start to her career at Ascot in July and the half-sister to champion juvenile Pinatubo is expected to back that performance up, despite giving 7lb to all of her rivals barring Shakeela. Roger Varian's filly stepped forward from her debut to win at Southwell and she enters calculations. Jeanne d'Arc is another with valid form credentials based on her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Panarea 2nd Shakeela 3rd Jeanne dArc

14:40 Chelmsford City

MUSICAL MYSTERY appears to have turned a corner recently, winning two of his last three starts with both coming on the all-weather, and Ed Dunlop's gelding may well have more to offer stepping back up to 7f. Kodias Sangarius went up 5lb for her recent victory here and is entitled to be competitive once again, while Rich Rhythm shaped with promise for Ralph Beckett and is respected on his debut for new connections.
Prediction : 1st Musical Mystery 2nd Kodias Sangarius 3rd Rich Rhythm

15:15 Chelmsford City

According to the official ratings, Art Of Romance should go well at these weights but he hasn't gone forward from his debut second and needs to do more to win here. COSMOS RAJ does have to give weight to all of his rivals, but his short-head second in an Ayr handicap in September is form which reads well. Newcomer Groove Nation has to be of some interest too.
Prediction : 1st Cosmos Raj 2nd Art Of Romance 3rd Groove Nation

15:50 Chelmsford City

SERENDIPITOUS LADY stayed on well to win by a couple of lengths last month at Yarmouth and, although she has been put up 5lb for that success, she may have more to offer now the penny has dropped. Her third here in September suggests the surface is not an issue and she could get the better of the blinkered St Lukes Chelsea and Bath second Monks Mead.
Prediction : 1st Serendipitous Lady 2nd St Lukes Chelsea 3rd Monks Mead
