Chelmsford City Race 5

6 Horses Challenge At Bet365 Handicap

Prize Money: $20,295

BISHOP'S CROWN (2) shaped better than the bare result when sixth at Kempton over 1200m on reappearance. A 1kg drop in weights puts him on his last winning mark. Selected to take a step forward. MONSIEUR BEAULIEU (1) holds major form claims in a race of this nature following a good fourth at Kempton 33 days ago. BABA REZA (4) is two from four at this venue and tough to ignore delivering first start this season. REBEL PATH (6) also warrants consideration.
