Horse racing tips TODAY: Horses you MUST back at Kempton, Warwick and Chelmsford | Racing | Sport

Expected to win first time out at Market Rasen, O Connell Street was too green to get past long-time leader Tango Boy and was beaten just over a length.

With that experience behind him and with stable jockey Nico de Boinville taking over in the saddle, this Coolmore-owned, Nicky Henderson-trained runner should justify favouritism this time.

SAMPHIRE COAST (nb, 8.00) loves Chelmsford City and is bidding for a sixth course and distance success today.

His other two career wins have also come at a mile so the fact that he switches back to his optimum distance after a respectable effort over a furlong shorter at this course last time is a big plus.

And Paddy Mathers has not missed a ride on this consistent horse since the autumn of 2017.

The popular Perth Festival started yesterday with a win for the raiding Gordon Elliott stable from Ireland.

Elliott may have failed to dethrone Willie Mullins in his domestic trainers’ championship but inevitably his cross Channel runners – like dual Grand National hero Tiger Roll – take a lot of beating.

RAKHINE STATE (treble, 1.50) beat a big field of maidens at Clonmel in February before coming unstuck in stronger company at Leopardstown.

The going was much softer on that occasion and the return to good ground at Perth, and the less competitive opposition, will suit Richard Johnson’s mount ideally.
