UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

HARRY THE HAGGLER made all to score over 1m4f at Southwell last month and another bold bid from the front looks likely, especially with the five-year-old able to utilise his stamina over a shorter trip. Fellow last-time-out winner Major Major looks the main danger to the selection upped 3lb for that recent victory over this distance at Lingfield. Persian Phoenix is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Harry The Haggler 2nd Major Major 3rd Persian Phoenix

In what should prove to be an informative affair, PANTILE WARRIOR gets the nod. The gelded son of Frankel was last seen finishing an admirable second behind a subsequent winner over a mile at Goodwood when last seen and, stepping up in trip, he gets the nod to gain a breakthrough victory. Reasoning has an eye-catching profile on paper and it would be no surprise if this daughter of Justify was able to make her presence felt first time up. Andersen completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Pantile Warrior 2nd Reasoning 3rd Andersen

DESERT CHAMPION lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Wolverhampton last month and, sporting a visor for the first time on handicap debut, he gets the vote to go two places better this time around. Just Like Magic showed a likeable attitude when getting off the mark at the first time of asking in handicap company recently and he looks the main danger off 3lb higher. Commendation can also go well.
Prediction : 1st Desert Champion 2nd Just Like Magic 3rd Commendation

Having filled the runner-up spot here and at Wolverhampton in recent months, compensation could be on the cards for SILKY ROBIN. Brian Toomey's gelding makes plenty of appeal running off the same mark and he looks ready to open his account. The biggest threat may emerge from Papa Don't Preach, who arrives on the back of a close-up third over C&D, while fellow in-form rival Due Date is also likely to be involved.
Prediction : 1st Silky Robin 2nd Papa Dont Preach 3rd Due Date

Stella Hogan supplemented her victory at Kempton in mid-January with creditable efforts in defeat at that same venue and most recently at Southwell. Mick Appleby's mare is likely to post another bold bid off just 1lb higher, but WINDSOR PASS is slightly more compelling. The seven-year-old accounted for reopposing second Mashaan on her penultimate start over C&D and she is taken to confirm her superiority over the Kodiac gelding once more.
Prediction : 1st Windsor Pass 2nd Stella Hogan 3rd Mashaan

Kitaro Kich has won three of his four starts so far this year and another good effort looks likely on the back of a convincing success at Lingfield earlier in the week. Mr Fustic has also scored at Lingfield recently and is another of interest, but ANGELICA K makes most appeal. The five-year-old appreciated the return to today's shorter distance when beating a subsequent winner at Kempton and there looks more to come from her on the strength of that form.
Prediction : 1st Angelica K 2nd Kitaro Kich 3rd Mr Fustic

VELVET VORTEX may prove a more potent force over this extra furlong after finishing an encouraging fourth over 7f here on his reappearance and debut for Mike Murphy. A bold bid is expected off his current mark and he gets the vote ahead of Boujee Gold. The latter had been in fine form before disappointing at Southwell, while Heerathetrack has a couple of recent placed efforts under his belt and could also feature.
Prediction : 1st Velvet Vortex 2nd Boujee Gold 3rd Heerathetrack
