Lucky 15 Tips: Oisin has a tasty-looking book

Further biblical atmospheric interventions (heavy rain) means I'm definitely sticking to the all-weather courses right now. Chelmsford looks good - their eight-race card kicks in at 16:35 - so that the venue for Thursday's Lucky 15 tips.

Some of our very best jocks are in attendance, and the sport should be keen and competitive.

Today's Horse Races

16:35 - Navalanche @ 7/1

I'm hoping the rather brilliant Oisin Murphy is going to have himself quite the night - starting with this unraced juvenile colt by Nathaniel.

Navalanche is with Ed Walker at Upper Lambourn, a yard certainly among the winners in recent days. Three of the five slated to face the starter have run (once only), but given this one's pedigree and where he's situated, I'm very hopeful of a bold showing on debut - to say nothing of the positive vibes courtesy of the Murphy booking.

17:45 - Carvalhal @ 9/2

It's that man Murphy again, this time aboard a raider coming all the way from County Durham.

Trainer Michael Dods has conjured one win so far from the three-year-old gelded son of Profitable, and he's rather suffered as a consequence handicap-wise.

His mark is slowly slipping back, and having won off 53 finds himself on 57 today. Carvalhal gets a touch further than this mile, and that could be useful on what I always feel is a surface where stamina is rewarded.

18:15 - Profitman @ 11/8

Apprentice of the moment Sean D Bowen is booked for this experienced three-year-old gelding - another son of Profitable.

Profitman is with Ben Brookhouse at Newmarket and was beaten just a neck here 19 days ago in a similar heat. He's been popped up a pound to 55 but Sean's 3lb claim certainly helps in that regard. Every chance.

18:45 - How Impressive @ 4/1

Let's hope that's exactly what we're saying at about 18:47 or thereabouts.

How Impressive is another interesting booking for Oisin Murphy, this time for Cheshire trainer Hugo Palmer. This is an in-form, five-year-old gelded son of the mighty Starspangledbanner, beaten just a head here over 6f some 19 days ago.

It was his best display for some time and stepping up to 7f is evidently on past form no hindrance. Murph looks a great booking, and happily he's won on him before. The horse was winning off 80 in March and he's down to 75 right now.

If you're playing take care, have fun as always, and good luck.

This is an example of a Lucky 15. If you can improve upon my selections (of course you can), then go for it!

The odds can fluctuate between publishing our pieces and race-time. As a guide, a £0.25p each-way Lucky 15 on today's selections, at the prices, and assuming all four won, would return around £312 for your total £7.50 stake.
