UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

PADDY'S COURAGE ran well for a long way when finishing sixth in the Brocklesby at Doncaster last week and, with normal progression, she could be the one to beat. Addictive changed hands for 50,000 euros and is related to plenty of winners, so he could get into contention on his debut, while any market confidence behind West Acre from stall two would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Paddys Courage 2nd Addictive 3rd West Acre

Saaheq finished a close-up third in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and he is likely to be thereabouts off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to THISMYDREAM, who beat Let's Go Hugo by just under two lengths at Wolverhampton last time and a 5lb pull is unlikely to be enough for that form to be overturned. Last-time-out winner Phoenix Star is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Thismydream 2nd Saaheq 3rd Phoenix Star

OLD CHUMS made it two wins from his last three starts when scoring by two lengths in this grade at Wolverhampton last month and, off a 5lb higher rating, he remains the one to beat. Eighth Army has been gelded after three mediocre efforts last year and he could prove a different proposition on his handicap debut, while Sovereign Knight holds a solid chance following his triumph at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st Old Chums 2nd Eighth Army 3rd Sovereign Knight

Irish raider NOBLE CRUSADE arrives on the back of two stylish 1m4f victories at Dundalk and, with this longer trip unlikely to pose any problems, he might be able to complete the hat-trick. Churchella won her only previous visit to Chelmsford and produced a career-best performance when successful over an extended 2m at Southwell last time. She looks an obvious danger, while V Power, Fox Flame and Turner Girl are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Noble Crusade 2nd Churchella 3rd V Power

Highfield Viking ran consistently well throughout last season and must enter calculations on his return to action, while recent Southwell scorer Laura's Breeze also merits consideration. Five Winds, Dion Baker and Kitaab add further spice to the race, but hat-trick seeking BOSSY PARKER rates the one to beat. Refitted with blinkers (worn again today), he has impressively notched a double over this trip at Wolverhampton of late and a further 5lb rise looks more than fair.
Prediction : 1st Bossy Parker 2nd Highfield Viking 3rd Lauras Breeze

Not beaten far over further at Wolverhampton last October, the relatively unexposed DECEIVER should be well suited by dropping back in trip and this looks like an ideal opportunity to regain the winning thread. The four-year-old gets the vote ahead of the hat-trick seeking Billy Mill and Irish raider Mulgrave, who arrives on the back of a taking success at Dundalk. Eligible, Riot and Two Tempting complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Deceiver 2nd Billy Mill 3rd Mulgrave

An eye-catcher on his handicap debut when keeping on from off the pace for second at Wolverhampton earlier this month, KEADY TOWN should be well suited by going up in trip and can strike for his in-form connections. A comfortable winner at Southwell, Mr Swivell can give the selection the most to think about and it is also worth keeping an eye on Wolverhampton scorer Rocket Warrior.
Prediction : 1st Keady Town 2nd Mr Swivell 3rd Rocket Warrior
