Chelmsford City Race 2 - Racing Value At Bet365 Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
KURAKKA (7) posted two good efforts in defeat so far and looks ready to get off the mark after finishing third behind a smart horse at Kempton over 1600m last time. The nicely-bred ALTAREQ (3) may improve on his fair debut tackling 1600m at Newmarket (Rowley) earlier in the month. Newcomer RESPOND (10) cannot be ignored despite debuting with a hood. DESERT SHADOW (6) makes for place appeal following two runs in Meydan.
