Chelmsford City Race 3 - Easter Leather Anniversary Cup Maiden Stakes (GBB Race)
SHADOW BOXER (12) 3yo first starter sired by Too Darn Hot for trainer Simon Crisford & Ed Crisford and has minimal work to do from the stall. Jockey James Doyle is highly regarded. Watch the market. POINT OF LAW (11) J Gosden & T Gosden trained 3yo by Frankel having first race appearance. Watch the betting. PENTONVILLE (10) Competitive effort when 2nd last start at Kempton and back in an easier grade. Has good tactical speed and will be nicely positioned. Has a positive stall. Capable of forward showing and can be competitive. DECEM STARR (5) First run back after spell. Was making up some late ground when 5th last run at Redcar. Should go close
