UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

STORM FREE showed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up over this distance at Kempton last time out, and he looks the one to beat if building upon that. Winless since scoring at Newmarket in May, The Actor has operated mostly at a higher level since, and he is a player with jockey Tyrese Cameron taking off 7lb. Pink Diesel and newcomer Ottawa are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Storm Free 2nd The Actor 3rd Pink Diesel

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over shorter at Wolverhampton on Monday, BLUEBELLS BOY looks more than capable of following up under a 5lb penalty. Stepping back up in distance should not inconvenience him and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Prince Of Bel Lir, and Lewis Barnes, who got off the mark with a determined performance at Kempton over 6f earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Bluebells Boy 2nd Lewis Barnes 3rd Prince Of Bel Lir

A tentative vote goes to SPANISH ANGEL, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last time out and remains well handicapped off an all-weather mark 6lb lower than his last victory in May. A winner of two of his last three starts, including over C&D most recently, Cabeza De Llave must enter calculations, along with the capable Agostino and It's Showtime.
Prediction : 1st Spanish Angel 2nd Cabeza De Llave 3rd Agostino

SALAMANCA struggled in the Lingfield Derby Trial when last seen in May but his previous form suggests that the son of Sea The Stars could be hard to beat this level on his return. Al Ameed is an obvious threat based on the pick of his form but he did put in an underwhelming effort last time, while any market support for either of Bewitch or Tic Tok Trot should be noted.
Prediction : 1st Salamanca 2nd Al Ameed 3rd Bewitch

CLOUD FREE won over course and distance a couple of weeks ago and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the three-year-old to make it a double, despite a 2lb rise. The Bitter Moose hit the crossbar at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to the consistent Sonmarg. Gone Rogue is another capable of going well.
Prediction : 1st Cloud Free 2nd The Bitter Moose 3rd Sonmarg

ALTANERA appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on Monday and David Simcock's filly is hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. Cloudy Rose was only beaten a nose into second at Brighton recently but may have to settle for the runner-up position once again, while Sir Joseph Swan edges out Dereham and Veer to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Altanera 2nd Cloudy Rose 3rd Sir Joseph Swan

The money came for BOBBY DASSLER, who finished third at Brighton on his stable bow and, although unable to justify that market support, it was at least a much more encouraging performance. Eased 1lb in the ratings and back over the mile, Michael Wigham's gelding can repay his supporters this time around. Summanus might not have shown much in novice/maiden events, but he could progress now sent handicapping and with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Meng Tian is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Bobby Dassler 2nd Summanus 3rd Meng Tian

BATAL DANDY appeared to relish a return to this trip when recording a narrow success at Kempton recently and, with Brandon Wilkie negating the 3lb rise incurred, he can double his tally. Connections of Profitman, runner-up on his last two starts, will be hoping the addition of first-time cheekpieces can give him an added boost. That said, Cogsworth, a previous C&D winner, might be the bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st Batal Dandy 2nd Cogsworth 3rd Profitman
