Chelmsford City Race 1 - For The Love Of Horses Restricted Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
FELIX GEM (4) finished fifth on debut attempting a 1600m Lingfield Park AW maiden contest before following up with a second losing out by a neck at Wolverhampton. May go one better. BLUE CELESTIAL (8) bids to turn two placed efforts into a win after placing third in a Southwell AW maiden before filling the same spot tackling a Kempton Park AW maiden last month. Will be thereabouts. RAJENDRA (2) missed the placings last time finishing fourth contesting a Southwell AW event a month ago. Expected to challenge. IRISH INCENTIVE (7) was fifth debuting at Musselburgh. Interesting resuming after a break.

Second-up. First start second last of 7 at Brighton on September 15 over 1400m, slow going 6 len behind Quarter with 60.5kg at $11. Went for a spell before returning 4th of 11 at Southwell All Weather on January 20 over 1600m, 5.5 len behind Si Grass with 54.5kg at $5.50. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

First-starter by Golden Horn out of Sylvia Plath. Should kick off on the right note.
