UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Danielle is closely related to Ascot Gold Cup winner Courage Mon Ami, so it would be no surprise to see her leave her Southwell debut effort behind, but she was soundly beaten in third over 7f that day and preference is for WINTER SNOWFALL. Charlie Appleby's filly was only held by half a length over 1m3f at Kempton on her recent introduction and shaped as though she would benefit plenty from that experience. Sir Michael Stoute doesn't have too many runners here and his Everywhere is the most interesting of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Winter Snowfall 2nd Everywhere 3rd Danielle

Oyamal has been knocking on the door and could be let in soon, while Malacanne also ran well in defeat latest and is a recent Wolverhampton winner. However, preference is for AWTAAD PRINCE, who has remained in good heart since scoring off 2lb lower over C&D in February and he ran with credit to make the frame at Doncaster last time. The returning Oriental Art would be a player if picking up where he left off in the autumn.
Prediction : 1st Awtaad Prince 2nd Oyamal 3rd Malacanne

The most experienced in the field, Pentacle has been threatening to score and should have a big say, but MISS SUNSET STRIP makes slightly more appeal after keeping on for the silver medal over 6f here second time out. That form has been boosted by the winner scoring again since and Amy Murphy's filly looks capable of taking another step forward today. Blake didn't quite get home over 1m when third at Southwell latest and could be suited by this shorter trip.
Prediction : 1st Miss Sunset Strip 2nd Pentacle 3rd Blake

Cephalus has to be of interest given his four consecutive wins in recent months but he could be vulnerable off his new mark. With that in mind, marginal preference is for DARKNESS, who ran well in some very competitive contests last season and he makes his return off 1lb lower than his last winning rating. Billy Mill edges out Chola Empire to be the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Darkness 2nd Cephalus 3rd Billy Mill

MERRIJIG arrives here having won his last two starts and a 3lb rise for the most recent of those victories, which came over this course and distance, may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. Star Legend was a close third on that occasion and is an obvious threat to the selection once again, while Placated and Major Major also merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Merrijig 2nd Star Legend 3rd Placated

Aces Wild justified favouritism in smooth fashion at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and he is seeking the hat-trick off a 4lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to THE DEFIANT, who outran his big odds when just being touched off by a neck into second at Lingfield last time. Luke Dace's eight-year-old looks well placed to record his third C&D victory, while New Hope Bullet can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st The Defiant 2nd Aces Wild 3rd New Hope Bullet

Prince Ali has hit the frame on each of his last three outings, so he is likely to be on the premises once again. However, preference is for POWDERING, who struck by a length over 7f at Wolverhampton earlier in the month and a 5lb rise may prove to be lenient. With the step up in distance unlikely to pose her many problems, she looks the one to be with. Roscioli completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Powdering 2nd Prince Ali 3rd Roscioli
