UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

WANNABE BRAVE showed the benefit of a spin over hurdles when he successfully reverted to the Flat at Wolverhampton last month and, with Wesley Joyce's 3lb claim partially negating a 4lb rise, the James Fanshawe-trained gelding has a live chance of following up. Taxiing edged out Further Measure (second), Grand Duchess Olga (third) and Shield Of Honour (fifth) when scoring over C&D a fortnight ago and rates the chief threat to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Wannabe Brave 2nd Taxiing 3rd Grand Duchess Olga

The only runner to have earned an official rating, Sunny Street sets the standard off a mark of 81 and rates a key player being kept to novice company. However, there should be lots more to come from HISTORIC CITY, who wasn't beaten far despite running green on debut at Leicester 12 days ago and, sure to be wiser, the son of Belardo could be a different proposition now he has some experience. Salik and Shamran are couple of newcomers to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Historic City 2nd Sunny Street 3rd Salik

FIDELIUS has shown promise in both starts since being gelded and is presented with a decent opportunity to gain a first career success now he drops back into novice company. Ten Commitments is open to improvement rates a big threat now he is tried in a hood, while Kento has experience of this course and can also figure prominently as he tries the minimum trip for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Fidelius 2nd Ten Commitments 3rd Kento

DARK SIDE PRINCE arrives here on the back of two C&D victories earlier in the year and a 3lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop him here. That said, Spanish Angel has also been in good form of late and could give the selection plenty to think about, while Popular Dream and Mick's Spirit are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Dark Side Prince 2nd Spanish Angel 3rd Popular Dream

ALL IN THE HIPS was successful over 6f at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and David Evans' filly is very hard to oppose off a 1lb lower mark here, which leaves her 4lb well in. Daytona Lady was only narrowly denied over course and distance three weeks ago and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Jungle Run and Man On A Mission are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st All In The Hips 2nd Daytona Lady 3rd Jungle Run

AMAYSMONT put two second-placed finishes in a row behind him when winning well over 6f here two weeks ago and the in-form seven-year-old sets the standard on that evidence. Ballybaymoonshiner scored over track and trip on his penultimate start and his most recent second at Lingfield was far from disappointing. Outreach edges out Tonal and Warrior Square to be next best.
Prediction : 1st Amaysmont 2nd Ballybaymoonshiner 3rd Outreach

MAGIC GEM posted another creditable effort in defeat when a close-up second on his seasonal/stable debut at Newcastle earlier this month. Michael Herrington's gelding should appreciate this return to 7f and a first victory in 2024 could be on the cards. Conversely, Daphne May is likely to fare better on this drop in trip and the daughter of Mayson isn't taken lightly, while C&D scorer Heerathetrack is likely to be involved at the business end too.
Prediction : 1st Magic Gem 2nd Daphne May 3rd Heerathetrack

A 5lb penalty may not be enough to prevent recent Newcastle scorer NATZOR from following up. The David O'Meara-trained gelding relished the return to 1m2f and he scored with enough in hand on that occasion to suggest that there is more to come. The biggest threat may emerge from Photon, who has been knocking on the door on his latest outings, while Ludo's Landing enjoys a 5lb swing with the selection having finished second at Gosforth Park and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Natzor 2nd Photon 3rd Ludos Landing
