UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Mick's Spirit defeated a subsequent winner on his penultimate start, before bolting up in an amateur riders' event last time, and Conrad Allen's charge merits the utmost respect off a 6lb raised mark. However, preference is for the less-exposed CINQUE VERDE, who was on target over C&D a fortnight ago. She was nudged up 2lb for that effort, but this looks a good opportunity given Jack Doughty can claim his full 7lb. Twilight Madness appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cinque Verde 2nd Micks Spirit 3rd Twilight Madness

A few with chances, so only a tentative vote can go to DARK SIDE PRINCE. Jessica Macey's gelding struggled last time out, but he drops in class and is now 4lb below his last winning mark. Stall one ought to work in his favour too and it would come as no surprise were he to return to form. Cabeza De Llave did well to come from off the pace to win here 20 days ago, while Araifjan must also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Dark Side Prince 2nd Cabeza De Llave 3rd Araifjan

Cocktail Dress kept on powerfully when narrowly denied over 7f here last week and she is likely to mount a serious challenge now sent over the mile. However, there has been no stopping Charlie Appleby of late and his newcomer MAGICAL HOPE gets the nod. Bred in the purple, she is likely to thrive over further in time but this looks a good starting point. More Than A Feelin shaped with promise on her debut and is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Magical Hope 2nd Cocktail Dress 3rd More Than A Feelin

Stepping up to a mile was a key factor in an improved effort from IVASECRET when the gelding comfortably landed a class 5 handicap at Kempton last week and, given he has won off much higher marks in the past, a 5lb penalty might not be enough to prevent him following up here. Roscioli can also figure if building on his recent near-miss at the same venue, while Lunarscape is also respected.
Prediction : 1st Ivasecret 2nd Roscioli 3rd Lunarscape

The handicapper has given the consistent DOVES OF PEACE a chance despite him finishing third in six of his last eight starts. With track and trip both ideal, the Michael Bell-trained gelding holds a strong chance of gaining a first career success. Ballybaymoonshiner won over 7f at Kempton two starts ago and commands respect, while Captain Wentworth can also figure back over this trip.
Prediction : 1st Doves Of Peace 2nd Ballybaymoonshiner 3rd Captain Wentworth

Q TWENTY BOY's last appearance in a classified event saw him victorious at Wolverhampton last month and the nine-year-old makes plenty of appeal based on his recent second at the same venue in handicap company. Admirable Lad has been in mostly consistent form since the beginning of the year and is expected to be competitive once again, while Viewfromthestars is capable of going close.
Prediction : 1st Q Twenty Boy 2nd Admirable Lad 3rd Viewfromthestars

Hotspur Harry arrives here 2lb well-in following his C&D second last week when he was well supported. Robert Eddery's gelding is likely to go well once again, but he may play second fiddle to MR TRICK. A winner here off 1lb lower in December, he took a step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton latest and it would be no surprise to see him get back to winning ways. Curtiz and Twilight Guest are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Mr Trick 2nd Hotspur Harry 3rd Curtiz
