UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

RESCUE MISSION shaped with lots of promise, despite racing wide and pulling hard, to fill the runner-up spot over 6f here last month. Andrew Balding's three-year-old would have learnt a lot from that experience and, with normal progression, she could be the one to beat. Vinatera showed ability to finish a close-up third at Kempton last month and could have more to offer on only her second start, while Scattering Light is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Rescue Mission 2nd Vinatera 3rd Scattering Light

ZU RUN is a previous C&D winner who produced a good effort to be beaten a length into second at Wolverhampton last month and goes off an unchanged rating. With Billy Loughnane taking over in the plate, he may be the one to beat. Port Erin finished a head behind the selection in third that day and will be hoping the application of first-time cheekpieces can help reverse the form, while last-time-out Kempton scorer Drifts Away needs to be taken seriously as well.
Prediction : 1st Zu Run 2nd Port Erin 3rd Drifts Away

COMBUSTION successfully completed the double at this level at Southwell earlier in the month and is aided by a handy draw in stall three to compliment his forward tactics. The four-year-old remains relatively unexposed and he looks the way to go. Agent Mayfair rates the main threat after his length and a half success over 5f at Southwell last time, while Outreach makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Combustion 2nd Agent Mayfair 3rd Outreach

Already a four-time winner on Polytrack, the reliable BRUNEL CHARM has shown resurgent form since undergoing wind surgery last October and could have the run of the race if making the most of a plumb draw in stall one. Dion Baker and Lequinto are not dismissed on their peak efforts, while Profit And Loss has gone well here in the past and is a notable danger after a profitable spell racing in Jersey.
Prediction : 1st Brunel Charm 2nd Profit And Loss 3rd Dion Baker

REBEL PATH outgunned Monsieur Beaulieu by half a length when winning over 6f here last week and a similar show of tenacity could seem him cement his authority over the runner-up, with the drop back to the minimum trip not expected to be an issue. The latter has a 2lb pull at the weights and can again make this a good test for the selection. Dashing Harry isn't always easy to predict but can be a force in this company having been dropped 3lb since his latest start.
Prediction : 1st Rebel Path 2nd Monsieur Beaulieu 3rd Dashing Harry

Runner-up on each of her last two starts, including here over 1m in December, ELTERWATER sets the standard on recent form and she looks capable of going one better on the rise in distance. Auguste Lumiere has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate second over C&D, while Fihrayn is another to consider having run with plenty of credit the last twice.
Prediction : 1st Elterwater 2nd Auguste Lumiere 3rd Fihrayn

Narrowly denied over slightly further at Wolverhampton on his latest start, and an easy winner there previous, DASH POWER looks the one to beat as he begins his career for the Jessica Macey stable. Runner-up on two of his last three outings, Rising Force is entitled to be thereabouts, as well as Artificer, who ran a career-best when going close over C&D last month.
Prediction : 1st Dash Power 2nd Rising Force 3rd Artificer
