UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Sirius White's effort at Wolverhampton last time can easily be forgiven, as he was reported to be lame after the race, and he could get involved if reproducing his effort when victorious here on his penultimate start. However, preference is for REVERBERATION, who failed to justify favouritism over 1m4f on his most recent outing but this big drop in distance could help him to bounce back to form. Martini Lodge completes the shortlist in a first-time hood.
Prediction : 1st Reverberation 2nd Sirius White 3rd Martini Lodge

NEW YORK BAY won impressively over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last week and only has to carry a 5lb penalty here. The son of New Bay could have plenty more to offer on only his third handicap start and looks difficult to oppose. Good Time Ahead finished a fair fourth over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and can fight it out for second off a 1lb lower mark, while Taxiing is another to note.
Prediction : 1st New York Bay 2nd Good Time Ahead 3rd Taxiing

ROTHAY PARK produced his best effort to date when runner-up at Lingfield in November and he sets a fair standard in this contest with a rating of 72. The three-year-old looks well placed to go one better and shed his maiden tag. Different Breed has been a model of consistency, as he hasn't finished out of the top three on each of his last four starts, and is likely to be in contention once again. Any market confidence behind Dyrholaey would also be of interest.
Prediction : 1st Rothay Park 2nd Different Breed 3rd Dyrholaey

DUE DATE could be the answer at this level having outrun huge odds to finish fourth in a handicap over C&D last month. The selection has dropped markedly in the handicap in recent months and this appears a good opportunity for Charlie Wallis' charge. Hard Solution (fifth) and Monsieur Fantaisie (eighth) are contenders based on last week's encounter at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st Due Date 2nd Monsieur Fantaisie 3rd Hard Solution

SUNSET IN PARIS has posted some good efforts at this venue and has been found a good opportunity to follow up last month's comfortable success over this trip at Lingfield. That form gives him a big chance in this company and he is readily preferred to Uther Pendragon and Silver Bubble, who are suggested as the most likely dangers. The Lion Strikes sports cheekpieces for the first time and is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Sunset In Paris 2nd Uther Pendragon 3rd Silver Bubble

REMARKABLE FORCE went close to making it a perfect start for new trainer Brian Toomey when narrowly denied over C&D by Riot last month and the four-year-old, who was only raised 1lb for that effort, is more than capable of going one better. The aforementioned Riot backed that effort up by finishing third here subsequently and is likely to enter calculations once again, while Love De Vega and Ultramarine are others worth noting.
Prediction : 1st Remarkable Force 2nd Riot 3rd Love De Vega

THE GAY BLADE returned to winning ways with a vengeance at Newcastle last Thursday when making every yard of the running. Connections opt to take advantage of him running under a 5lb penalty, as he would carry 5lb more in future contests, and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to beat. Sparkling Spirit is capable of being in the mix following her third at Newcastle on Monday, while any market support for Wee Geordie would make him of interest.
Prediction : 1st The Gay Blade 2nd Sparkling Spirit 3rd Wee Geordie
