UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

THE BAY WARRIOR recorded a comfortable success at Southwell earlier this month and subsequent 4lb rise looks fair. Mark Usher's charge, a multiple winner over C&D, will not want to be slowly away as can sometimes be the case but, if breaking on terms, he can go in again. Silver Nightfall was narrowly denied over a mile at Lingfield on Saturday and has every chance of gaining compensation, while Platinum Prince appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st The Bay Warrior 2nd Silver Nightfall 3rd Platinum Prince

Lion Ring made most when successful at Lingfield recently and he merits respect under a penalty, but a chance is taken on SANKARI. Recent form figures wouldn't suggest he is a winner in waiting, but his handicap mark is reflective of that. The son of Ribchester drops in both trip and grade, with newly-applied cheekpieces. He is completely unexposed on the surface and should the headgear have a positive effect, he might represent some value. Thismydream is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Sankari 2nd Lion Ring 3rd Thismydream

There has been no stopping KINETIC of late and she arrives having completed her hat-trick at Musselburgh. James Owen's filly has been raised a further 4lb but given that she has scope for further progress at this longer trip, it would come as no surprise were she to defy it. Standbackandlook was unable to pick up off a steady pace at Nottingham but he remains in good heart and is an obvious candidate. Delta Legend's latest efforts would suggest a step up in distance will suit.
Prediction : 1st Kinetic 2nd Standbackandlook 3rd Delta Legend

BLUE COLLAR LAD was only beaten a head into second over 7f at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect on the back of that effort, despite a 2lb rise. Q Twenty Boy has not been disgraced on either start since winning over 5f here in mid-August and he should not be discounted, while Lewis Barnes and Poetic Jack are also noted.
Prediction : 1st Blue Collar Lad 2nd Q Twenty Boy 3rd Lewis Barnes

CUT TO THE CHASE remains unexposed and made the frame when third on his handicap bow at Brighton. With that in mind, he just gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark ahead of Doves Of Peace, who hit the crossbar in a classified event at Lingfield last time. Comedian Leader is another with valid form claims, while Irrelevant is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cut To The Chase 2nd Doves Of Peace 3rd Comedian Leader

CAPALLCLISTE arrives here on the back of two very narrow seconds at Lingfield last month and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the four-year-old to go one better. Twitch is an obvious threat following his close runner-up effort when sent off at massive odds over C&D. Dashing Donkey failed to fire last time but is a player on his previous form, while similar comments apply to Top Button.
Prediction : 1st Capallcliste 2nd Twitch 3rd Dashing Donkey

MASTER DANDY responded well for Jack Doughty when landing an apprentices' race over 6f at Lingfield last week and, given he is 3lb well-in after that first handicap success, it should pay to stick with the James Fanshawe-trained gelding, with the longer trip a potential source of further progression. Thapa VC and All Agleam have been holding their form well and have solid chances, while The Waiting Game is dangerous to underestimate.
Prediction : 1st Master Dandy 2nd Thapa VC 3rd All Agleam

SAIGON DREAM progressed from his debut run when a close second to an 80-rated rival at Kempton last month and, with further improvement likely now he steps up to a mile, this is well within reach for the son of Oasis Dream at this stage. Mr Grimes (second) finished a length in front of Mauchline (fifth) in a Lingfield maiden a fortnight ago and can give the selection some food for thought with a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Saigon Dream 2nd Mr Grimes 3rd Mauchline

A big run was obviously expected from FOREVER PROUD when a well-supported favourite on her debut for James Owen at Lingfield last week and although she came up just short, that third-placed finish was an encouraging enough effort to give her another chance as she turns out quickly from the same mark. H Key Lails is effective on Polytrack and is feared most from a handy rating. Takes Time and Heerathetrack are other notable contenders.
Prediction : 1st Forever Proud 2nd H Key Lails 3rd Takes Time
