RACE PREVIEWS & TIPS (THURSDAY)

14:50 Chelmsford Ryan Moore rarely leaves Chelmsford without a winner and though he has a couple of decent looking rides earlier on the card, Raven’s Lady appeals as probably his best chance on the card. Hailing from the yard of Marco Botti and arriving here on the back of a very good third behind Queen Kindly the last day, she would hardly have to improve to land this and as she’s previously gone well at Kempton there is every hope she will handle this track. Separating the likes of Zest, Aljuljalah and Bumptious looks tough and all three are respected, Raven’s Lady however gets the nod and the presence of Moore is a major positive. Raven’s Lady Raven’s Lady (WIN)

15:10 Bath Ron Harris has his yard operating at a 25% strike rate in the last fortnight and Powerful Dream must have every chance of further improving that at her favourite venue, four times a winner here, she wouldn’t want any rain to arrive but this race looks easier than some of her most recent assignments. Look Surprised caused an upset when bolting up at Windsor the last day, she could be the fly in the ointment though you do worry about the form. Dandilion is progressive and warrants respect despite her new career high mark however, everything looks set nicely for Powerful Dream to mount a serious challenge. Powerful Dream (WIN) – NAP
