Friday’s UK racing tips come your way from the meeting at Chelmsford on 9 February 2024.
CHELMSFORD
Race 1 – REVERBERATION 9/4
REVERBERATION made it two from two at Chelmsford producing a smooth success over one mile. Stepping back up to 1m2f will pose no issues for this previous course and distance winner who can remain unbeaten.
Prince Hector races off the same mark as when third tackling 1m4f at Wolverhampton. Could go well once more.
Escobedo cannot be ruled out after staying on nicely to finish third under this inexperienced amateur at Lingfield. Global Tycoon holds each-way appeal.
Race 2 – BLAZES BOYLAN 11/4
BLAZES BOYLAN left his debut effort well behind scoring over course and distance second up.
Further progress is anticipated and the Robert Cowell gelding may prove capable of defying a penalty.
Macanudo provided some decent form as a two-year-old. Warrants respect after an eye-catching (short of room when staying on) fourth over six furlongs at Kempton on stable debut.
Mutasawi cannot be ignored based purely on ratings alone. Sole four-year-old Wolverhampton winner Al Wosol will need more however must be considered.
Race 5 BITCOIN PROFIT 7/2
BITCOIN PROFIT can give trainer Henry Spiller a perfect send-off in the Betsi Handicap.
Spiller hands in his licence after the three-year-old competes, with Bitcoin Profit having posted an encouraging second of late and seemingly primed to strike gold in a contest like this.
Race 8 H KEY LALIS 4/1
H KEY LALIS came within a neck of a third career success when beaten over course and distance eight days ago. Holds solid claims racing off the same rating.
Any support behind Split Evens would be interesting given the stable. Certainly brings form to feature after a good third tackling this trip at Lingfield two starts back.
Flying Panther returns to his last winning mark and only provided two attempts for this yard. Worth monitoring in the market.
Lough Leane drops significantly in distance for his first outing in six months and is also one to watch in the market.
