UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

MEADRAM ran on well under today's rider when he landed a hands and heels event over C&D on his most recent start and a 3lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the son of Mukhadram from following up. Fellow C&D winner First Dynasty also needs consideration as he steps back up in trip on his debut for a new yard. Similar comments apply to Mirabello Bay, who is another track-and-trip scorer who commands respect.
Prediction : 1st Meadram 2nd First Dynasty 3rd Mirabello Bay

CLOTH OF GOLD found just one too good on both his previous starts over a mile but can make those experiences count now he takes a step up in trip. Mdawi, a stable companion of the selection, also appeals after he was denied a clear run over 1m at Lingfield most recently. James Fanshawe's newcomer Captain Robert is a half-brother to a couple of all-weather winners and needs a betting check.
Prediction : 1st Cloth Of Gold 2nd Mdawi 3rd Captain Robert

TRUSTED ADVISOR, whose dam is a half-sister to a Listed winner over a mile, has an appealing pedigree and runs for a yard which knows the family well. Indeed, Sir Mark Prescott has a knack of finding the right races for fillies of this type and now could be a good time to side with the daughter of Ulysses as she steps up in trip. Orchestral Wave is also noted and Nobleman needs a betting check on his racecourse bow.
Prediction : 1st Trusted Advisor 2nd Orchestral Wave 3rd Nobleman

CIRCUS OF ROME benefited from his debut performance when filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield at the start of the month and Richard Hughes' gelding is likely to prove a tough nut to crack in his attempt to shed the maiden tag. San Juanito shaped with promise when fifth at Kempton on his first start and is likely to go well along with Cabelleroso, who makes his first appearance since finishing a beaten favourite at Doncaster in June.
Prediction : 1st Circus Of Rome 2nd San Juanito 3rd Cabelleroso

FLAINE has stepped forward considerably since winning at Southwell at the beginning of November with a pair of runner-up efforts proving that success was no fluke. The return to a mile is unlikely to pose any concerns and she gets the vote ahead of Good Call, who drops back to a mile after tackling 1m2f when fourth here last time. Others for the shortlist include No Release and Aneedah Hero.
Prediction : 1st Flaine 2nd Good Call 3rd No Release

Christian David went up 4lb for his latest success at Goodwood in June and remains open to further improvement on his return to action. Kingdom Come has been given a chance by the handicapper, with the five-year-old only 1lb higher than his last winning mark, but EMPIRESTATEOFMIND might be the answer. A winner at York on his penultimate outing, he wasn't disgraced subsequently at the Curragh and he remains feasibly treated.
Prediction : 1st Empirestateofmind 2nd Christian David 3rd Kingdom Come

A comfortable winner over 2m here in October and runner-up over hurdles at Plumpton last time out, SULLIVAN BAY arrives in great shape and he looks capable of notching up a third career success. That may come at the main expense of Shaad, who has done well since joining the James Owen yard and should appreciate dropping back in trip. Arch Legend can be expected to go well too.
Prediction : 1st Sullivan Bay 2nd Shaad 3rd Arch Legend

Turned out again quickly after a taking success over C&D last week, HIATUS is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can overcome a 5lb penalty in his bid for the double. Fiscal Policy arrives in the form of his life after successes at Newcastle and Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations, along with old rival Aberama Gold and the unexposed Perennial.
Prediction : 1st Hiatus 2nd Fiscal Policy 3rd Aberama Gold

WAR CHANT wasn't suited by hold-up tactics last time out at Wolverhampton and is better judged on his success over C&D when making all two starts ago. Rae Guest's charge may not be the most consistent, but he is narrowly preferred to His Finest Hour, who makes his handicap debut following a determined success at Wolverhampton in October. At Vimeiro and Etretat are likely to have a say in proceedings as well.
Prediction : 1st War Chant 2nd His Finest Hour 3rd Etretat
