(4) Cinque Verde 3/1, Proved better than ever returning from 4 months off when winning 5-runner handicap (12/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Nudged up just 2 lb so has a solid chance of following up.
C&D win latest; that wasn't a strong race but neither is this and she's only 2lb higher.

Multiple 5f winner but not seen since June; has changed stables and enough to prove.

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Preference is for CINQUE VERDE, who was on target over C&D a fortnight ago. She was nudged up 2lb for that effort, but this looks a good opportunity given Jack Doughty can claim his full 7lb. Twilight Madness is the main danger as he has held his form well since winning at Lingfield on New Year's Eve, while Dubai Station rates best of the rest.

CINQUE VERDE won well under her promising rider here on her return a fortnight ago and can strike again. Twilight Madness might be the danger.

This looks good for CINQUE VERDE (nap), whose success two weeks ago came over C&D under today's claiming rider Jack Doughty.

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A few with chances, so only a tentative vote can go to DARK SIDE PRINCE. Jessica Macey's gelding struggled last time out, but he drops in class and is now 4lb below his last winning mark. Stall one ought to work in his favour too and it would come as no surprise were he to return to form. Cabeza De Llave did well to come from off the pace to win here 20 days ago, while Araifjan must also be taken seriously.

If CABEZA DE LLAVE is in the same form as when scoring here 3 weeks ago a 3 lb rise may not stop him. Araifjan has gained his 4 course wins over 6f but he is effective at the minimum trip and is second choice ahead of the reliable Mehmo.

This can go to DARK SIDE PRINCE, who was below form in a tongue-tie last time and that equipment is now left off.

18:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Cocktail Dress kept on powerfully when narrowly denied over 7f here last week and she is likely to mount a serious challenge now sent over the mile. However, there has been no stopping Charlie Appleby of late and his newcomer MAGICAL HOPE gets the nod. Bred in the purple, she is likely to thrive over further in time but this looks a good starting point. More Than A Feelin shaped with promise on her debut and is noted too.

The well-bred MAGICAL HOPE is taken to make a successful start. Orchard Keeper is a big player after her much-improved showing at Wolverhampton, while Cocktail Dress just failed on her return here last week having been easy to back and can progress further up in trip.

Magical Hope is a fascinating newcomer but this can go to ORCHARD KEEPER, who showed improved form last time. There's more to come.

Point Of Fact

Flat winner in France; disappointing in Britain and needs to raise game if he's to win.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Stepping up to a mile was a key factor in an improved effort from IVASECRET when the gelding comfortably landed a class 5 handicap at Kempton last week and, given he has won off much higher marks in the past, a 5lb penalty might not be enough to prevent him following up here. Roscioli can also figure if building on his recent near-miss at the same venue, while Lunarscape is also respected.

It could be worth siding with the penalised IVASECRET, who found the return to this trip firmly in his favour when running out a good winner at Kempton 8 days ago and he remains with plenty of scope from a handicapping perspective on old form. Monkmoor Pip following a good run at Wolverhampton/re-united with Oisin Murphy rates the lead danger, ahead of Lunarscape.

The step up to this trip enabled IVASECRET to break a losing run last time and he can follow up under his penalty.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The handicapper has given the consistent DOVES OF PEACE a chance despite him finishing third in six of his last eight starts. With track and trip both ideal, the Michael Bell-trained gelding holds a strong chance of gaining a first career success. Ballybaymoonshiner won over 7f at Kempton two starts ago and commands respect, while Captain Wentworth can also figure back over this trip.

A tight-knit handicap in which marginal preference is for UNITED FORCE who reverts to handicap company on a handy-looking mark and can end a lengthy losing sequence. Captain Wentworth is feared most now reverted to his optimum distance ahead of in-form pair Ballybaymoonshiner and Doves Of Peace.

Doves Of Peace is a player but he's yet to win and preference is for CAPTAIN WENTWORTH, who should be suited by the return to 7f.

20:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Q TWENTY BOY's last appearance in a classified event saw him victorious at Wolverhampton last month and the nine-year-old makes plenty of appeal based on his recent second at the same venue in handicap company. Admirable Lad has been in mostly consistent form since the beginning of the year and is expected to be competitive once again, while Viewfromthestars is capable of going close.

Q TWENTY BOY has been in pretty good form since the autumn and might be good for another win here. The chief threat may come from stablemate Viewfromthestars. Universal Grace and Admirable Lad are others likely to be on the premises.

A chance is taken with SUMAC, who could get the run of the race from his low draw and is taken to beat Q Twenty Boy.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Hotspur Harry arrives here 2lb well-in following his C&D second last week when he was well supported. Robert Eddery's gelding is likely to go well once again, but he may play second fiddle to MR TRICK. A winner here off 1lb lower in December, he took a step back in the right direction when third at Wolverhampton latest and it would be no surprise to see him get back to winning ways. Curtiz and Twilight Guest are also noted.

HOTSPUR HARRY isn't entirely straightforward but he attracted support and shaped well over C&D a week ago and is worth a chance to go one better from a reduced mark. Mr Trick is in good order and looks a danger, while Twilight Guest could feature if he's ready to go after 4 months off.

There are a few to consider but it could be going with MARION'S BOY, who is on a good mark, is down in grade and gets Rossa Ryan.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.
