UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

RAINWATER showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and after shaping like he was still in good heart when fourth off 5lb higher over this trip at Newcastle subsequently, he gets the vote to land the spoils off an unchanged mark. Mc'ted found only one rival too good at Lingfield last month and, off 2lb higher than his last winning rating, he warrants respect, despite his wide draw. Renesmee is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Rainwater 2nd Mcted 3rd Renesmee

Godolphin appear to hold a strong hand in this contest and JOLLY JACK TAR looks the pick of the duo. The son of Too Darn Hot fairly bolted up over this trip at Lingfield on his second start in February and, with the promise of more improvement to come, he appeals as the most likely winner. By The Book scored impressively on debut over 7f at Haydock in June 2023 and, having been gelded during his spell on the sidelines, he must be of interest stepping up in trip on his return to action. Plage De Havre looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Jolly Jack Tar 2nd By The Book 3rd Plage De Havre

LIPSINK overcame an awkward start to run out a ready winner at Wolverhampton last month and, upped 5lb, he gets the nod to bring up a double. The formerly very smart Acklam Express is an obvious contender back off his last winning mark, while Dark Kestrel lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Newcastle and he is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Lipsink 2nd Acklam Express 3rd Dark Kestrel

Dashing Panther was having only his second start of the year when scoring here last month. He can feature in the finish again, while Tradesman returns to the all-weather with solid claims off his current mark, but a chance is taken on WILLIAM WALTON. Owen Burrows' three-year-old has shown steady improvement in three outings over 1m4f and the son of Galileo will likely relish this extra test of stamina now handicapping for the first time.
Prediction : 1st William Walton 2nd Dashing Panther 3rd Tradesman

LION RING has recorded four of his five wins to date at this venue and may prove the one to side with. Andrew Martin's sprinter is only 2lb higher than when last successful here in October and another bold bid is anticipated. Sir Rodneyredblood was narrowly beaten here on his penultimate start and is not easily dismissed, while Hiatus returns to this distance with a shout off his current mark and can make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Lion Ring 2nd Sir Rodneyredblood 3rd Hiatus

MONSIEUR KODI opened his account on the all-weather with a victory over 6f here last month. Richard Fahey's charge is 3lb higher on his return to this track, having made the frame at Newcastle subsequently, but has won off higher marks on turf and looks worthy of another chance over this extra furlong. Ultramarine went close over C&D three weeks ago and can feature once again, while Nammos has been in the mix in lower-grade contests and could land a blow.
Prediction : 1st Monsieur Kodi 2nd Ultramarine 3rd Nammos

THOMAS EQUINAS was too keen to do himself justice when last of five over C&D last month having benefited from the reapplication of cheekpieces the time before. However, the five-year-old may have a better chance of settling in a bigger field and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. Profitman was disappointing behind the selection when last seen, but is better judged on a brace of runner-up efforts prior. Heerathetrack isn't discounted dropping back to 7f.
Prediction : 1st Thomas Equinas 2nd Profitman 3rd Heerathetrack

KONDRATIEV WAVE continues to be a reliable individual and the seven-year-old, who won here over 7f in August, arrives following a solid third at Lingfield. Anamika is an interesting contender making her handicap debut, with the pick of her three runs coming here when runner-up in August. Callianassa improved for stepping up in trip to finish second at Newcastle and she could have more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Kondratiev Wave 2nd Anamika 3rd Callianassa

ELTERWATER benefited from dropping in trip when getting off the mark over C&D and the daughter of Camelot is expected to back that performance up, despite a 3lb rise, and confirm the form with runner-up Kessaar Power. The latter's recent form here gives him every chance of being in the mix again, while the consistent H Key Lails and handicap debutant Empress Of Hope head the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Elterwater 2nd Kessaar Power 3rd H Key Lails
