UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Eva Dickson showed a fair amount of ability to finish fourth on her debut at Southwell and, with normal progression, she could have a say. BOUVIER has produced some solid efforts in her five career starts to date, with her only blip coming when finding Group 2 company too tough at Deauville. She sets the standard with a rating of 77 and looks the one to beat. Any market support for Secret Combination would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Bouvier 2nd Eva Dickson 3rd Secret Combination

Thomas Equinas possibly benefited from the reapplication of cheekpieces when scoring by a length over track and trip and it would be no surprise to see him feature off 3lb higher. However, he might come out second best to LADY WINGALONG, who wasn't disgraced in third, despite pulling hard, at Wolverhampton and goes off the same rating. If David Evans' mare can settle better, she could prove very hard to beat. Kessaar Power completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Lady Wingalong 2nd Thomas Equinas 3rd Kessaar Power

Capricorn King had Good Call (third) and Freak Encounter (fourth) behind when taking the silver medal home in heavy conditions at Leicester last month and now sports first-time blinkers, which could eke out more to help confirm the form. However, it may pay to side with PINE CLIFFS, who showed more when fourth over a mile at Southwell and has been dropped 2lb. With the step up in trip a possible source for improvement, he gets the nod.
Prediction : 1st Pine Cliffs 2nd Capricorn King 3rd Good Call

There is plenty to like about the chances of 110,000gns purchase Kentucky River on paper and it would be no surprise if the son of Camelot had enough ability to play a part first time up. That said, preference is for AEGEAN PRINCE. Charlie Appleby is operating at a 29 per cent strike-rate at this venue this year and his Dubawi colt gets the nod to score at the first time of asking. Hi Ya Mal is also considered.
Prediction : 1st Aegean Prince 2nd Kentucky River 3rd Hi Ya Mal

RENESMEE struck over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and lost little in defeat when an admirable fourth over the same C&D subsequently. Off the same mark, Alice Haynes' filly gets the nod to return to winning ways. Born A Rebel caught the eye when a staying-on third over a mile here and must be considered stepping back up in trip off an unchanged rating. Runner-up over track and trip last month, Switchel completes the shortlist off 1lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Renesmee 2nd Born A Rebel 3rd Switchel

AGOSTINO appeared to appreciate the step back down to the minimum trip when making all over C&D last month and, off a 5lb higher mark, he gets the nod to bring up a double. Twilight Fun rediscovered his shooting boots in first-time cheekpieces (retained) over 6f here and he must be respected off 2lb higher, while Papa Don't Preach is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Agostino 2nd Twilight Fun 3rd Papa Dont Preach

Having completed a brace a shade cosily at Windsor last month, MAID IN CHELSEA enters handicap company off what looks a fair mark. Jack Jones' filly scored on the Tapeta at Wolverhampton in September and she makes plenty of appeal on her Polytrack debut. The biggest threat may emerge from Monsieur Kodi, who arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Catterick. Others to note include Blackjack and Princess Shabnam.
Prediction : 1st Maid In Chelsea 2nd Monsieur Kodi 3rd Blackjack

HAT TOSS hasn't enjoyed the smoothest of passages in two placed efforts since his victory over a mile at Sandown in August and compensation could be on the cards. The New Bay gelding should relish a return to this distance and a third career victory looks imminent. Expensive Queen offered plenty of encouragement with her second-placed stable bow at the Esher venue and she's feared most, ahead of the down-in-grade Pjanoo.
Prediction : 1st Hat Toss 2nd Expensive Queen 3rd Pjanoo
