UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

READER should have learned plenty from her debut second at Goodwood earlier this month and ticks plenty of the right boxes. A switch to Polytrack is unlikely to prevent another bold showing from the daughter of Mohaather and a breakthrough victory may beckon. Afton Down left his opening seventh at Wolverhampton behind when filling the runner-up spot at Brighton a fortnight ago and is feared most, ahead of From The Hip.
Prediction : 1st Reader 2nd Afton Down 3rd From The Hip

WOODY Y FERNANDEZ may have found his latest fifth over 5f at Redcar on the sharp side and this return to 6f may prove fruitful. The introduction of a hood may help Jennie Candlish's charge settle better and he edges the vote over Miss Ayala. The daughter of James Garfield scored over 7f here on her penultimate outing and she isn't taken lightly. Market support for nursery/stable debutant Kuiama would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Woody Y Fernandez 2nd Miss Ayala 3rd Kuiama

Having finished in third on her opening bid at Lingfield 16 days ago, Perdy In Paris is a potential improver stepping up in distance. However, APPLESANDPEARS was more eye-catching on her debut second on the same day at Leicester and Ed Bethell's filly shades the verdict. Baandee posted a bold bid from the front on her first appearance over C&D last month and may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Applesandpears 2nd Perdy In Paris 3rd Baandee

FOUETTE successfully stepped into handicap company at Southwell 23 days ago and the daughter of Acclamation is an attractive proposition, with a 5lb rise suggested as readily workable at this stage of her development. Stellenbosch won a novices' event at the same venue last month and could also have a big say now she has proven herself on Tapeta. Al Joory and Aramis Grey are other strong contenders.
Prediction : 1st Fouette 2nd Stellenbosch 3rd Al Joory

FLOWSTATE's two recent second-placed finishes in similar company read well and he could be up to the task of giving weight away all round at this level. Due Date is respected in bidding for a hat-trick. However, he hasn't won from a mark this high before and needs another personal best. Poetic Jack is a previous course winner to also consider from 4lb below his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Flowstate 2nd Due Date 3rd Poetic Jack

Due to go up 4lb in the future after a comfortable success at Southwell last Thursday, JUNO STAR is taken to strike again while the iron is hot, with Ashley Lewis' 5lb claim a major plus. Placed on each of his last two outings, and a winner over C&D in February, Sir Rodneyredblood is one to note, along with Shalaa Asker, who has run with plenty of credit on his last two outings over track and trip.
Prediction : 1st Juno Star 2nd Sir Rodneyredblood 3rd Shalaa Asker

Not beaten far on each of his last two starts over slightly further here, CARDINAL POINT sets the standard on form and can return to winning ways, with Hector Crouch an eye-catching booking. Must Believe returned from a break to score comfortably over 1m3f at Kempton last month, but he must now prove himself back over further, while The Bay Warrior is best judged on his penultimate victory at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st Cardinal Point 2nd Must Believe 3rd The Bay Warrior

Unbeaten in two starts over C&D, including when scoring easily here recently, WYLD BILL should have plenty more to come off 8lb higher. Narrowly denied in a contest at Kempton that has worked out well since, Frostmagic could improve with another go at this trip, whereas Time Tested should appreciate a return to this track, having scored here off 4lb lower in March. Gretna Dreams and Mythical Bird may also have a say in proceedings.
Prediction : 1st Wyld Bill 2nd Frostmagic 3rd Time Tested
