Chevallier is weighted to win at Chelmsford

- London MAKE MAGIC WITH MORRICE

– CHEVALLIER can realise a deserved change of luck in the totepooliv­einfo.com For Racing Results Handicap at Chelmsford City today.

The gelding has proved something of a flagship horse for rookie trainer Archie Watson, running a series of good races in defeat in decent company without managing to get his head in front.

He did little wrong when third to Quaffaal in a Class3 here last time and at revised weights has an excellent chance of turning the tables.

MONUMENTAL MAN is another 'nearly' horse for whom the rub of the green awaits today.

The seven-year-old needs to force the pace and finds himself in an ideal gate slot to do that in the totepool Racecourse Cash Back Available Handicap.

Michael Attwater's charge almost lasted home over this 1000m last time, only to get mugged in the final strides.

That was a second near miss in as many starts and this time he can go all the way.

Although he was staying on over 1600m last time, a cut in trip shouldn't inconvenie­nce ASTUTE BOY in the At totepool Tweet Us Your toteElfie Maiden Auction Stakes.

Ed Vaughan's runner will be afforded a handicap mark after today, but neverthele­ss looks the best bet in the race as he is unlikely to start favourite.
