Chelmsford City Race 2 - Heartstrings Restricted Maiden Stakes (Gbb Race)
MANLY FIREBALL (4) needed his debut effort but has taken form up a level since switching to the all-weather. Good effort at Wolverhampton four and a half months ago while stable have started the year well. Could prove hard to beat. SOUTHERN WARRIOR (6) was a respectable third on debut. Needs to step forward from his fifth place finish six weeks ago. Rates highly. The Richard Spencer pair TAINTED LOVE (1) and SADDLE UP (8) both warrant a market check with the former mentioned a home bred close relation to a group placed winner and looks a likely type on paper. Both runners come from a good stable. Bold showing expected. Something for the Multiples: UNIONVILLE (7)

Four-year-old gelding by Rajasinghe out of Stay Classy having his first start. Should kick off on the right note.

Was at very long odds at debut, 11th of 13 at Kempton Park All Weather on January 28 over 1400m, 5 len behind Seeing Stars with 62.5kg at $51. Won't find this any easier so she is likely to struggle again.

Four-year-old filly by Mayson out of Silver Look on debut. Purchased for GBP £ 6,000 (Goffs - UK 2023 Premier Yearling Sale). Prefer to let go without a strong market move.
