UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

NOBLE JOURNEY just about sets the standard with his debut fourth over 1m at Newmarket and, bred to appreciate this step up in trip (dam Group 1 winner over 1m4f), he rates the one to beat. Arouse and Devil's Brigade probably ran to a similar level first time out and both could step forward to land a blow. However, newcomer Sea And Sun might prove the biggest threat making the trip down from North Yorkshire.
Prediction : 1st Noble Journey 2nd Sea And Sun 3rd Arouse

MAD UNICORN edged out Redditizio on just her second handicap start at Wolverhampton five days ago and, with the promise of more to come, she is fancied to follow up under a 6lb penalty. The latter is officially 2lb well-in and looks the main danger, although neither American Flight or Go Lockers Go should be underestimated as they step into handicap company for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Mad Unicorn 2nd Redditizio 3rd American Flight

Despite the 259-day absence, CHERRY COBBLER gets the vote on his handicap debut. Stuart Williams' charge showed a likeable attitude when making all over 5f at Southwell last time and an opening mark of 76 looks within his compass. Don Pacifico returns after a gelding operation and has every chance on the form of his narrow Wolverhampton defeat two starts ago, while Artagnan might improve for a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Cherry Cobbler 2nd Don Pacifico 3rd Artagnan

Not seen since August 2024 when runner-up at Newmarket, EVENING SAIGON has been gelded in the interim and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to strike on his handicap debut. A mark of 85 could prove lenient and it may be the experienced The Thames Boatman who gives him the most to think about following a creditable runner-up effort over shorter at Lingfield last month. Inishfallen and Mesaafi may also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Evening Saigon 2nd The Thames Boatman 3rd Inishfallen

A winner here over 1m in August, GIANT looked to be finding his way back to that form when runner-up over C&D last week, and he is taken to go one better off an unchanged mark. Mister Mojito has strong claims if bouncing back to the form of his penultimate effort over track and trip when third, while Revolutionise had been in consistent form before a mediocre run at Kempton most recently.
Prediction : 1st Giant 2nd Mister Mojito 3rd Revolutionise

Runner-up on two of her last three starts since scoring at Lingfield in June, EDERGOLE'S GIFT narrowly sets the standard on form and she can strike from a good draw with jockey Connor Planas taking off a valuable 3lb. Valadero had been in consistent form before being hampered at Wolverhampton last time out and he must enter calculations, along with Newcastle second My Mate Beattie.
Prediction : 1st Edergoles Gift 2nd Valadero 3rd My Mate Beattie

A confident vote goes to MORTE POINT, whose Newbury triumph is sandwiched in between two fine runner-up efforts. The son of Due Diligence undoubtedly has much less to prove than some of his rivals and the progressive gelding is preferred to Arctic Grey, who receives a welcome ease in class having failed to land a blow in a class 2 at Ayr latest. The Quiet Gent is already proven on Polytrack and he didn't run too badly at Kempton last time.
Prediction : 1st Morte Point 2nd Arctic Grey 3rd The Quiet Gent

The application of a first-time visor (retained) appeared to work the oracle for MY BOY HARRY, who struck at Kempton last Friday. Ashley Lewis negates much of the 6lb penalty courtesy of his 5lb claim and, although a wide draw is far from ideal, the three-year-old is unexposed over a mile and should have more to offer. Iftikhaar won at odds of 40/1 over C&D last month but disappointed latest and the blinkers will need to have a positive effect. Kessaar Power could be a bigger threat.
Prediction : 1st My Boy Harry 2nd Kessaar Power 3rd Iftikhaar

WYLD BILL has two wins from five since switching to handicaps, the latest of those over C&D. He almost added a third win to his tally at Newcastle latest but ultimately weakened into second late on having been a little keen. He's thriving at present, though, and from a handy draw he is taken to regain the winning thread. Masqool hit the frame at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to be thereabouts, while Voix De Bocelli appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Wyld Bill 2nd Masqool 3rd Voix De Bocelli
