BRAZEN ARROW made a pleasing return to handicap company when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Wolverhampton, and the fact he retains the mark from that run must make the Christine Dunnett-trained five-year-old of significant interest. Okeanos remains unexposed and can build on a fair display, also at Wolverhampton, last time out. He is feared most, just ahead of Vitralite on his return from Hong Kong.

This could be a lively betting heat given 3 of these have dropped a long way in the weights but the safest option is BRAZEN ARROW on the back of a runner-up effort a fortnight ago. Vitralite had a very unsuccessful period in Hong Kong but the assessor has given him a big chance back in Britain.

This should be much easier than VITRALITE has been accustomed to in Hong Kong and he can make a winning stable debut.

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

A game winner over 1m4f at Southwell most recently, a 2lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop SCARBOROUGH CASTLE securing a double here and David Simcock's charge can have another big say in proceedings. He made every post a winning one on that occasion, so this shorter trip should not be enough to hold him back. Villalobos scored on his stable debut for Simon Hodgson and can give the selection plenty to think about. Medrara also warrants a market check.

MEDRARA benefitted from the fitting of a tongue strap when getting off the mark over C&D and can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights with more to come from this lightly-raced 4-y-o. Villalobos is feared most on the back of his Lingfield success for his new yard, with fellow C&D winner Persian Wolf appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

A chance is taken with last year's winner BOASTY, who has been running consistently well lately and takes a slight drop in grade.

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

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

One For The Frog makes his handicap bow off a break and is entitled to build on a good second over 7f at Wolverhampton back in November, but preference lies with SHARVARA. The gelded son of Kingman also occupied the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton on his most recent outing and is fancied to go one better off the same mark. Crownthorpe and Prenup add further spice to the mix.

PRENUP edged out a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton last month so can make light of a 1 lb nudge and make it 2-2 for new trainer Jane Capple-Hyam. The return to 1m will suit Sharvara who may provide the chief threat unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding the Sean Woods handicap newcomer One For The Frog.

The vote goes to PRENUP (nap) whose successful stable debut at Wolverhampton last month has already been franked.

19:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

BOLD ACT improved with each start last year and there was a lot to like about the way he brushed aside the smart One Nation over this trip at Newmarket. Providing he's anywhere near peak fitness on his seasonal return, he looks sure to mount a bold bid. Iconic Moment has yet to taste defeat in three appearances and could confirm his Lingfield superiority over New Definition. Brave Emperor bravely held off Alzahir at Kempton and that pair look set for another good tussle.

While ICONIC MOMENT certainly doesn't appear to be short of speed, he shaped as though stepping up to a mile would be very much in his favour when overhauling stablemate New Definition close home over 7f at Lingfield last month. The best is probably yet to come from this colt and he is taken to maintain his 100% record. Godolphin's Bold Act improved with each of his 4 starts last season and is second choice ahead of recent Kempton 1-2, Brave Emperor and Alzahir.

A warm race, but the vote goes to the unbeaten ICONIC MOMENT who should appreciate the longer trip on a more galloping track.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to SHALAA ASKER, who backed up his three-parts-of-a length success in an amateur jockeys' handicap over C&D with a solid placed effort at Wolverhampton last week. He can remain competitive, despite a further 2lb rise in the ratings. Em Jay Kay arrives following a string of win and placed performances, and chased the selection home at Southwell. He is likely to be in the shake-up once again, with Impeach and the returning Beyond Equal others to keep an eye on.

In a competitive sprint the vote goes the way of the thriving SHALAA ASKER. The returning Beyond Equal has run well when fresh before and is down to a feasible mark so he's second choice ahead of Em Jay Kay and Impeach.

Shalaa Asker and Em Jay Kay are high on the list but BEYOND EQUAL starts his campaign on a tempting handicap mark.

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

An eyecatcher when second on his stable debut over C&D back in November, CAPTAIN WENTWORTH must hold every chance if building upon that career-best effort. He is likely to race prominently again and gets the vote ahead of Warminster, who faded into third over 7f at Kempton, and Talamanca, who was progressive last season and wasn't beaten far on his return at Lingfield. Kanawha and Pending Appeal are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

CAPTAIN WENTWORTH was suited by the drop in trip when runner-up on debut for this stable 149 days ago and, if the market vibes are positive, he's worth a chance to build on that and open his account. Warminster and Talamanca are a bit more exposed, but both rank as dangers.

A trappy affair in which PENDING APPEAL is taken to build on the promise of her reappearance at Kempton. Ignac Lamar is next best.

HEATH RISE hasn't managed to get his head in front since his triumph over C&D back in September 2021, but he remains handicapped to strike after a pair of solid seconds at Wolverhampton last month. David Simcock's five-year-old should be suited by dropping back from an extended 2m and is preferred to Testing Faith, who bounced back to form with a strong effort at Wolverhampton. Ask Peter and Eye Knee cannot be ruled out either.

HEATH RISE upped his game when runner-up here last time and he hasn't had much racing over this trip, so he's a confident choice to get back to winning ways. Testing Faith is the main danger and there's reason to think Smokey Malone might fare a bit better than he has on his two previous outings this year.

Runner-up on his last two starts, HEATH RISE may have the right opportunity to go one better. He has proved his stamina, unlike some.

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.

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.
