UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Twistaline was victorious by a neck over a mile at Southwell earlier this week and she is likely to put in a bold bid once again despite the quick turnaround. However, the vote goes to AL TARMAAH, who outran his huge odds to fill the runner-up spot in a class 6 handicap here in November, which came after a 239-day break, and he now returns to this lower level. If he can back that display up, then he ought to go very close. Heerathetrack completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Al Tarmaah 2nd Twistaline 3rd Heerathetrack

POST RIDER produced a very pleasing debut effort to finish second behind a warm favourite here in November and she was three lengths clear of the third. The daughter of Postponed could have any amount of improvement to come, so she looks like the one to beat. Super Hit showed plenty of promise on his first start when hitting the frame at Wolverhampton and he could take a step forward, while any market support for Queensbury Lodge on her debut would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Post Rider 2nd Super Hit 3rd Queensbury Lodge

JUICY made every yard of the running to comfortably score by four lengths on her debut at Southwell and that performance really caught the eye, so she is one to watch and can make light work of her 7lb penalty. Newcomer Raffles Angel has plenty of speed in her pedigree as a daughter of Harry Angel and it will be interesting to see how she fares in the market. Blazes Boylan can improve from his sixth at Wolverhampton and looks booked for third.
Prediction : 1st Juicy 2nd Raffles Angel 3rd Blazes Boylan

The vote goes to PETIT CALVADOS, who recorded a comfortable success at Wolverhampton last month. The Irish raider was raised 6lb for that effort, but she remains competitively treated and is preferred to the class-dropping Expert Agent, who wasn't beaten far in a warm 0-90 at Kempton last week. Pop Dancer defied odds of 25-1 to score on his penultimate start and was far from disgraced at Southwell last time.
Prediction : 1st Petit Calvados 2nd Expert Agent 3rd Pop Dancer

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA continued her good run of form with a close-up second over 1m6f here last month and she is expected to go one better back over 2m. Doublethetrouble looks set to race prominently, which can often be helpful at this venue, and recent performances would suggest he's unlikely to be far away. Young Endless hit the frame over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton 28 days ago and the application of first-time blinkers could eke out further improvement.
Prediction : 1st Grand Duchess Olga 2nd Doublethetrouble 3rd Young Endless

HARRY THE HAGGLER arrives having won two of his last four outings and the return to a mile is unlikely to stop the four-year-old from going well. Mitigator went up 3lb for scoring at Wolverhampton a fortnight ago and the eight-year-old is likely to enter the reckoning. Legende d'Art went close here on his penultimate start over 7f and the extra yardage on this occasion could suit.
Prediction : 1st Harry The Haggler 2nd Mitigator 3rd Legende dArt

GREAT BLASKET made the ideal start for new connections at Wolverhampton just before Christmas and backed that effort up when a close-up third over this distance at Newcastle on New Year's Day. The application of cheekpieces for the first time could further aid his cause and the four-year-old shades the vote ahead of Cavalluccio, who appeared to be unlucky when runner-up here last month. Tribal Wisdom completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Great Blasket 2nd Cavalluccio 3rd Tribal Wisdom
