Chelmsford Tip: Acrux

Over the past 5 years, Jamie Osborne has 25% strike rate in claiming races on the all-weather from a decent sample size and he has two runners in the 6.30 Chelmsford. Of the pair Acrux looks the more likely winner and he may well have the race set up for him by Monumental Man.

His record over 6f is 01126 the last three of those coming on the all-weather where he was beaten by no more than 1.25 lengths. Acrux has weight to concede but claimers contain inconsistent horses so we shouldn’t be too dogmatic with ratings.
