UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

MRS DOWLEY shaped with considerable promise when third over 6f on her racecourse bow at Wolverhampton on Monday. Michael Bell's juvenile ought to improve for the step up in trip and, from a handy draw, she can go in at the second time of asking. Magic Glow failed to build on a promising debut performance but she can undoubtedly play a leading role if racing more amenably this time around. Of the newcomers, Queen Sansa and Casual Encounter make the greatest appeal.
Prediction : 1st Mrs Dowley 2nd Magic Glow 3rd Queen Sansa

Space Trooper hit the woodwork at Newcastle last month and ought to be more than capable of going one better, but a chance can be taken on WAITING FOR LOVE. The Muharaar filly has all-weather winners in her pedigree and the fact that James Doyle arrives here for just this ride is perhaps a tip in itself. Needlepoint made a winning racecourse debut at Chantilly last June and warrants a market check on her return from a lengthy absence.
Prediction : 1st Waiting For Love 2nd Space Trooper 3rd Needlepoint

After a couple of close-up seconds on the all-weather earlier in the year, ARCTIC DAWN shaped with promise when third on his handicap debut off 1lb higher at Doncaster last month. That form has been boosted by the runner-up scoring since and this unexposed three-year-old has scope for improvement following that first run in over seven months. That said, Ultramarine continues to run with credit and he looks sure to mount another stern challenge, along with C&D winner Airshow.
Prediction : 1st Arctic Dawn 2nd Ultramarine 3rd Airshow

Flaine made a highly encouraging start for the David Loughnane yard when scoring by a length over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and she should go well, despite her 6lb penalty. However, a chance can be taken on STORMY LADY, who has failed to fire in her three starts to date but she might prove a different proposition now tackling nurseries. With the booking of Rossa Ryan catching the eye, she could produce an upset. Any market confidence behind Follow Your Dream would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Stormy Lady 2nd Flaine 3rd Follow Your Dream

Kessaar Power was denied by just a short head when second over 7f at this venue last week and he holds an obvious chance off an unchanged mark, but DASHING DONKEY makes slightly more appeal. William Stone's three-year-old hit the crossbar in this grade at Yarmouth last month and competes off only a 1lb higher rating this evening. With a repeat of that performance, he could be the one to beat. Elterwater is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Dashing Donkey 2nd Kessaar Power 3rd Elterwater

FLYING FLETCHER struck in smart style in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and he might have plenty more to offer on only his fifth handicap start. The son of Muhaarar carries a 6lb penalty but that may not be enough to prevent him going in again. Fantasy Master was successful in a stronger contest than this at Nottingham last month and provided he can transfer that form to the all-weather, then he could have a say. Happy Tears completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Flying Fletcher 2nd Fantasy Master 3rd Happy Tears

War Zone has to be respected having got off the mark over C&D two weeks ago, but the three-year-old could be vulnerable off his new mark. With that in mind, preference is for MARCUS, who was beaten half a length into third that day and is 3lb better off with the winner. Battle Point edges out Enchanted Night and Suanni to be the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Marcus 2nd War Zone 3rd Battle Point

SEMSER was only beaten a neck when second in a selling handicap over course and distance last month and that form gives him a big chance here, despite a 1lb rise. Sunset In Paris is an obvious threat to the selection having won two of his last three starts on the level, while Mhajim and River Alwen are others who merit a place on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Semser 2nd Sunset In Paris 3rd Mhajim
