UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

EASILY CONVINCED clearly knew his job when finishing third on debut at Kempton last week and the son of Kodi Bear is fancied to use the experience gained to shed the maiden tag. Mullwarchar may benefit from the return to 7f following his recent effort at Lingfield, while Song Of Dubai is capable of improvement having displayed signs of promise on her first outing at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Easily Convinced 2nd Mullwarchar 3rd Song Of Dubai

One Horse Town commands plenty of respect on his first start for Harry Derham after reaching the frame twice at Dundalk in November. The vote, though, goes to KEV, who stepped forward from his debut when beaten a neck at Wolverhampton last month and a repeat of that performance would make him a tough nut to crack. Princess Pw and Kazakh are others worthy of consideration.
Prediction : 1st Kev 2nd One Horse Town 3rd Princess Pw

STAR PUPIL produced his best effort for a while when finishing third at Lingfield at the start of the month. Richard Hughes' gelding was tried in blinkers for the first time on that occasion and this may be the time to strike if the headgear has the same effect. Sonmarg was running well off higher marks during the autumn and is capable of being in the mix, along with Capuchinero.
Prediction : 1st Star Pupil 2nd Sonmarg 3rd Capuchinero

Jesse Luc landed a similar C&D event last weekend but, although respected, he may struggle conceding weight to WAR ZONE. Chelsea Banham's charge was narrowly denied in a handicap at Wolverhampton last month, having been on target over 5f here in October, and looks to hold strong claims down into a classified event. Believe It has few miles on the clock and while she would need to improve, a drop in trip could aid her chance.
Prediction : 1st War Zone 2nd Jesse Luc 3rd Believe It

Queenofdestruction had no obvious excuses when finishing second at Wolverhampton recently but it would be surprising if she wasn't thereabouts again, while a tendency to hang continues to affect Target Man. The form of MEGAPHONE's Newmarket debut effort has worked out extremely well and he made light work of his rivals at Kempton when returning last week. The son of Kodiac should progress further and he can concede weight all round to follow up.
Prediction : 1st Megaphone 2nd Queenofdestruction 3rd Target Man

A few of these have something to prove and it looks best to side with MERRIMACK. The Stuart Williams-trained four-year-old has been running well in defeat recently and having weakened late on over 6f on his last two starts, a drop to the minimum trip might be key. Gogo Yubari made the frame at Lingfield last time out and holds obvious claims from an unchanged rating. Rainyniteingeorgia heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Merrimack 2nd Gogo Yubari 3rd Rainyniteingeorgia

A comfortable winner at Lingfield earlier in the month, ETRETAT looks capable of following up off a 5lb higher mark for his in-form stable. Placed on her last two starts over further since scoring over track and trip in November, Switchel is a leading contender, as is Arcadian Nights, who has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his October second at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Etretat 2nd Switchel 3rd Arcadian Nights

THE SPOTLIGHT KID wasn't beaten far in his attempt to complete a hat-trick at Wolverhampton last month and Dean Ivory's charge should be suited by dropping back in trip. He can land a fifth career success at the main expense of C&D winner Union Island, who was also third when on a three-timer at Southwell. A capable sort on his day and making his first appearance since October, Roscioli cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st The Spotlight Kid 2nd Union Island 3rd Roscioli
