17:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

A winner on his racecourse debut before finding a useful colt, who has since finished second to the talented Al Qudra in Qatar, too good here in December, PORT LIGHT should have what it takes to defy a penalty. Newcastle scorer Crack On Boys is drawn next door and the son of Cracksman appeals as the most likely threat. Yes Honey is also noted.

This looks to concern penalised pair PORT LIGHT and Crack On Boys, with narrow preference in favour of the former in a refitted hood. That said, the latter was impressive when scoring at Newcastle 23 days ago and strong confidence behind him would put a different slant on things. Final Night and Yes Honey appeal best of the others, particularly with a view to going into handicaps.

This should concern previous winners PORT LIGHT and Crack On Boys. The selection pushed a Group-class colt close here in December.

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

CAPUCHINERO has been edging down the weights in recent months and she went agonisingly close under Oliver Carmichael at Wolverhampton last time. Bint Havana Gold (third) has since franked that form by winning at the Midlands venue so, off just 2lb higher, Alice Haynes' mare appears to hold outstanding claims. Kitaro Kich continues to run well and he remains of interest, while others to note include Sonmarg and handicap debutant Willow's Kiss.

Plenty of in-form sorts in opposition including KITARO KICH, who, having shed the maiden tag on his penultimate start, again shaped well in the circumstances when third at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and he remains of interest from the same mark. Likeable filly Bint Havana Gold following her last-time-out success, H Key Lails and Capuchinero are just a trio of others to consider.

A few with possibilities but KITARO KICH travels strongly enough to think he can make a serious go of it back over 7f.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Southbank struck over C&D in December before recording back-to-back second-placed finishes at Wolverhampton and he merits the utmost respect, but the vote goes to JESSE LUC. Mike Murphy's gelding has won three of his last four starts, with the latest of those coming at Southwell recently. He's only 3lb higher and with Rossa Ryan back aboard, he looks set to mount another serious challenge. Man On A Mission is another to consider.

A few with chances but JESSE LUC is thriving at present and fancied to make light of a 3 lb weights rise and complete a hat-trick. Southbank could emerge as the main danger to Mike Murphy's C&D scorer ahead of Poetic Jack and Man On A Mission.

Southbank is respected but JESSE LUC (nap) should manage the small rise for his recent Southwell win and continue on the upgrade.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Smith needs serious thought off just 3lb higher than his latest win at Lingfield. However, this shorter trip might not be ideal for him and the vote goes to previous course winner SMOKEY MALONE. Having won off higher marks in the past, a current rating of 51 gives the Outstrip gelding every chance and another bold showing is expected. Mhajim and This Time Maybe are other solid options.

SMITH took advantage of his much-reduced mark when scoring at Lingfield on his latest outing, having to overcome trouble in running, so a 3 lb rise back up in the weights might not be enough to prevent him from following up. Heading the list of dangers is Smokey Malone, who has returned to form on his last 2 starts, with Zooks also considered.

After two good runs over 1m4f at Southwell, SMOKEY MALONE might be seen to even better effect over this C&D.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

State Of Madness is interesting judged on recent form but a wide berth in stall eight could prove tricky and is a concern. MEHMO, on the other hand, has the benefit of a position near the inside rail and, having gone well here before, he looks worth chancing off a competitive rating on just his second start for his current yard. War Zone also appeals after winning a classified stakes over C&D a fortnight ago.

WAR ZONE looked better than ever when bagging his second C&D victory two weeks ago so gets the vote here at the chief expense of State Of Madness who is weighted to go close on his first go on polytrack. Forest Gunner also figures on a handy-looking mark and needs factoring in too along with course scorer Sassy Redhead.

Stall eight might influence another wide trip but STATE OF MADNESS should get a true pace to chase and he's in better form than most.

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A tentative vote goes to JENSON BENSON, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort over C&D last time out, where he had the reopposing Cloud Free (third) over a length behind. The latter is now 2lb better off at the weights, but Shaun Lycett's charge is taken to regain the winning thread at the main expense of Elterwater, who has scored on two of her three starts at this track.

A case can be made for a few of these but ELTERWATER is hard to oppose under a 5 lb penalty for her convincing success over C&D last time out. Handily-weighted I Can't Believe is next on the list ahead of Cloud Free and Birthday Angel.

A race which revolves around ELTERWATER, who will be hard to beat if in the same mood as when scoring easily over C&D on Saturday.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

HELM ROCK didn't do himself any favours when racing wide at Wolverhampton last time out but he did well to finish third, and dropping back to 1m should suit. The booking of Billy Loughnane is eye-catching and the seven-year-old can regain the winning thread at the main expense of High Point, who has switched yards since scoring at Salisbury last October. Longlai and Tempus cannot be ruled out either.

A tight-knit handicap in which HELM ROCK edges the vote on the back of his good recent Wolverhampton third. Urban Lion is also weighted to have a big say and could emerge as the main danger after a break, although Tempus and Longlai both need considering too.

Longlai is a potential class act but narrow preference is for HELM ROCK who went close off this mark recently.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
