UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

Spirit Of Jura would hold leading claims judged on her runner-up effort at Wolverhampton, but a subsequent fourth at that venue leaves her with something to find. With that in mind, it could be worth taking a chance on WAR AND LOVE, who looked in need of the experience when finishing third on her debut at Lingfield last week. Seconds Count filled the runner-up spot ahead of the selection that day and she should also feature.
Prediction : 1st War And Love 2nd Spirit Of Jura 3rd Seconds Count

CARLTON hasn't looked back since joining the James Owen team and a fourth consecutive victory over C&D could be in the offing. A 5lb penalty for the five-year-old's emphatic victory on Thursday is unlikely to prevent another bold bid and he's taken to repel the down-in-grade Tradesman. The son of Mastercraftsman arrives on the back of a solid third at Southwell and he warrants respect. Albert Lasker is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Carlton 2nd Tradesman 3rd Albert Lasker

Rising Force occupied the runner-up berth over C&D two days ago and provided this quick turnaround doesn't pose him any problems, he ought to go close off an unchanged rating. However, RAVENSBOURNE gets the nod. Michael Keady's four-year-old outran big odds to make the frame at Newcastle earlier in the month and was kindly dropped 1lb. With Cieren Fallon booked, she may be the one to beat. Mashaan is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ravensbourne 2nd Rising Force 3rd Mashaan

Eagle Day is a previous C&D winner who bids for a hat-trick after registering a Wolverhampton brace, but a further 4lb rise might open the door for APIARIST. The son of Night Of Thunder was denied by just under a length in second in a deeper contest than this at Newcastle on New Year's Day and could defy his 2lb rise. Quiet Resolve and Waiting All Night are just two others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Apiarist 2nd Eagle Day 3rd Quiet Resolve

BROOKLYN NINE NINE is most effective on the all-weather and having run on strongly to score at this level at Southwell last month, he has a big chance of following up off just 3lb higher, assuming he handles switching to Polytrack. Similar comments apply to We Never Stop, who has held his form well since being gelded and rates another key player. Sevensees carries useful form over from his time in Ireland is respected on debut for Stuart Williams.
Prediction : 1st Brooklyn Nine Nine 2nd We Never Stop 3rd Sevensees

A winner over 5f here in November, the pacey My Turn Now should make this a good test if settling better than he did on his most recent start. However, a strong tempo can assist GLOBAL EFFORT, who posted an encouraging third-placed finish back over this trip at Wolverhampton on Tuesday. The quick turnaround suggests he can build on that effort to score here. Starshot is also noted with cheekpieces swapped for a first-time tongue-tie and visor.
Prediction : 1st Global Effort 2nd My Turn Now 3rd Starshot

BERNIE THE BEAR had the reopposing Jesse Luc (fourth) just under two lengths behind when denied by the narrowest of margins at Southwell last time out and he can go one better on this occasion. A relatively promising fourth when keeping on from off the pace at Wolverhampton on Tuesday, Mumcat is another to consider if able to break a bit sharper.
Prediction : 1st Bernie The Bear 2nd Jesse Luc 3rd Mumcat

A creditable third when looking to complete a double at Newcastle last time out, CUT TO THE CHASE has been in generally consistent form of late and a return to this track should suit as he looks to get back to winning ways. That may be at the main expense of Lord Danielson, who is turned out again quickly after landing a C&D apprentice handicap on Thursday. Fantasy Navigator and Salaamaat cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Cut To The Chase 2nd Lord Danielson 3rd Fantasy Navigator
