UK Horse Racing Tips: Chelmsford City

ANEIRIN'S SWORD dead-heated for the victory over C&D two starts ago and was only narrowly denied when trying to follow up at Kempton 11 days ago. The progressive three-year-old may well be able to defy a 2lb rise and return to winning ways. Thanh Nam was second at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Bergamo Gold and Let Her Go.
Prediction : 1st Aneirins Sword 2nd Thanh Nam 3rd Bergamo Gold

Shafdar sets the standard based on his third over a mile at Kempton on his debut for these connections last month. That said, a chance can be taken on PICTURE PALACE, who lacks race experience but is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Blair House. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see the son of Pinatubo make a winning debut. Immediate Jewel is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Picture Palace 2nd Shafdar 3rd Immediate Jewel

SANDITON bounced back to form when third over 7f at Kempton on Wednesday and a reproduction of that level of performance would give him a big chance here. However, similar comments apply to King David following his close fourth at Southwell on Thursday and he should not be underestimated. Toussarok is a player based on his second at Lingfield two starts ago, while Mandana completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Sanditon 2nd King David 3rd Toussarok

MONKS MEAD accounted for Marion's Boy (fourth) and Marinakis (fifth) when scoring at Lingfield on his penultimate start and that looks like the key piece of form to focus on. Mark Usher's gelding backed that effort up with a good second over the same C&D last time and is the one to beat. Prince Hector is capable at this level and can't be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Monks Mead 2nd Marions Boy 3rd Prince Hector

Harlington won by two lengths at Lingfield on his latest outing and holds an obvious chance, but it may pay to side with JODHPUR BLUE. Ian Williams' gelding finished a creditable third in a warmer contest at Wolverhampton and this drop in grade, along with the shorter trip, could work the oracle. My Awele occupied the runner-up berth over a mile here last month and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Jodhpur Blue 2nd Harlington 3rd My Awele

Both Respectable Jack and Forever Noah have been threatening to open their accounts, with the former preferred on his recent placed efforts at Kempton. However, it could pay to take a chance on LITTLE MISS MAGIC. Patrick Chamings' charge finished a respectable third in a classified contest here last month and a return to winning ways looks imminent based on that evidence.
Prediction : 1st Little Miss Magic 2nd Respectable Jack 3rd Forever Noah

MIO AMICO got off the mark with a victory over 1m4f at Lingfield last month. A 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor him here, given the third has subsequently landed a double, and this extra yardage holds no fears for Michael Keady's inmate. Sneaky Blinder won four times on the all-weather last year and looks a bigger danger than Tuba on the evidence of his recent second at Wolverhampton.
Prediction : 1st Mio Amico 2nd Sneaky Blinder 3rd Tuba
