Ryan rides three at Chelmsford on Saturday

Racing at Chelmsford on Saturday was in doubt due to the weather but it has got the green light so Betfair ambassador Ryan Moore is here with exclusive insight on his three rides...


15:30 - Capulet

This looks a very good race for the grade - and it is worth 100k, so it should be - and it features some progressive and unexposed types. But, going into the race, Capulet clearly sets the form standard on his placed efforts in Group 2 company, latterly when third in the Royal Lodge.

A winner at Dundalk on his debut before those Group efforts, this looks a good starting point for him. You'd expect him to get a fair bit further than a mile down the line, but he is going okay at home.

16:05 - Roxanne

I don't know much about her as she has her first run for Ed [Dunlop] after winning all three of her starts in Germany. Hopefully, a mark of 80 underplays her talent but I'd be lying if I said I had a good handle on the worth of German handicap form.

16:40 - Rebel Empire

You'd obviously have to fear Andrew Balding's Capo Vaticano, as his Calyx filly has a fair pedigree and gets the 5lb. But my colt probably shades it on form from those to have raced, so let's see.
