UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

FORGE VALLEY LAD was denied a clear run at a crucial stage when finishing fourth over this trip at Lingfield recently and, eased 2lb, he gets the vote to gain compensation. Star Of St James ran out a ready winner under this rider over 1m2f at Nottingham on his penultimate start and, on the back of a solid fourth at Carlisle latest, he warrants respect. C&D winner Stormingin is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Forge Valley Lad 2nd Star Of St James 3rd Stormingin

FREAK ENCOUNTER has shown improved form since switched to nurseries the last twice and, after appearing to get outstayed late on when finishing third over a mile at Yarmouth recently, he looks the one to side with dropping back to 7f off an unchanged mark. Me Tarzan displayed some improvement when fourth on his nursery debut at Kempton earlier this month and looks the main danger, while Havana Club also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Freak Encounter 2nd Me Tarzan 3rd Havana Club

SAPPHIRE VALLEY impressed when scoring with the minimum of fuss over 7f at Wolverhampton on his debut last week, and the son of Blue Point gets the nod to give weight and a beating to these rivals. This step up in trip can see 32,000-euro breeze-up purchase Rock Master improve on his debut effort over 5f at Lingfield and he can give the selection most to think about. Terramindar is also worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Sapphire Valley 2nd Rock Master 3rd Terramindar

SHAMADOR showed plenty of ability when finding only a progressive rival too good on his racecourse debut over 7f at Newcastle and, with significant improvement likely, he should take some stopping. Archie Watson's horses are in good form and this son of Shaman can continue that recent run. A win appears just around the corner for Metro Dubai, who ran well when second over 7f at Wolverhampton latest, while Mandana also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Shamador 2nd Metro Dubai 3rd Mandana

ONE ROAD may have won by further had he got a clear passage when getting up late to score over 7f at Wolverhampton on Monday, and he can strike again while the iron is hot. Dominique Van Der Kraats' 7lb claim in the plate negates the 6lb penalty for that half-length triumph. Tiana Rose is feared most after a decent third over 6f at Brighton earlier this month, while Prada On Parole heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st One Road 2nd Tiana Rose 3rd Prada On Parole

Only narrowly beaten over 6f at Brighton on his penultimate start, NOGO'S DREAM can get his head in front. Richard Hughes' runner arrives here off 1lb lower than that Brighton outing and, should he bounce back to form following a mediocre Sandown display, he should be difficult to stop. Happy Tears rates as the biggest danger after a C&D success last time, while Scarboroughwarning is respected back in handicap company.
Prediction : 1st Nogos Dream 2nd Happy Tears 3rd Scarboroughwarning

LION RING is in the form of his life at present and a 4lb rise for his most recent success over 5f here may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. Stepping back up to 6f looks like a good move and he may have too much for comfortable Wolverhampton winner Koji and Time Patrol, who was narrowly denied at the same track on Monday. Lewis Barnes and War Zone are expected to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Lion Ring 2nd Koji 3rd Time Patrol

A comfortable winner over C&D last time out at the expense of Capallcliste (second), who was almost three lengths behind, TWITCH can follow up off a 7lb higher mark. He can get the better of the unexposed Frankie Valliance, as well as Diligent Henry, who went close on each of his last two starts at Wolverhampton. Others to note include Edergole's Gift, Match Anthem and Poetic Jack.
Prediction : 1st Twitch 2nd Diligent Henry 3rd Frankie Valliance

Not beaten far when going from the front over a furlong further at Wolverhampton on Monday, WE'RENOTREALLYHERE is turned out quickly and can strike over a distance he was successful over at Lingfield last month. An eye-catcher when hampered at the start before eventually keeping on well for third over 7f at Wolverhampton last time, Kinematica is a key player along with Marayel and Windsor winner Hurricane Power.
Prediction : 1st Werenotreallyhere 2nd Kinematica 3rd Marayel
