Chelmsford City Race 8 - Tigerbet.co.uk Price Boosts Handicap
WARNING SYMBOL (2) got off the mark when last seen three weeks ago making handicap debut scoring by a neck. Well supported on that occasion and now with the assistance of Oisin Murphy will be very hard to beat. TEWKESBURY (3) indicated plenty of ability including a runner up finish on the second start. Stable is going well and freshened could prove a major threat. SHAFI (1) won on his second start at Southwell and ran perfectly well under a penalty in February. Warrants thought as holds potential making handicap debut. Player. JUST A GAMBLER (4) disappointed when last seen at Bath. Too soon to write off.
