18:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MISS ANYA bounced back to form when second in a similar event over 5f at Wolverhampton last time and the daughter of Kodi Bear appears to be the one to beat on that evidence. Cervaro Della Sala was a consistent performer as a juvenile and has to be of interest on her return to action. Ten Commitments showed ability on his racecourse bow in January and should not be underestimated having been gelded since then.

CERVARO DELLA SALA has marginally the best form and could be the type to make a better 3yo, so she's worth chancing to make a winning return in a thin race. Miss Anya is closely matched on form and Ten Commitments is open to improvement, so they're both dangers.

The vote goes to MISS ANYA, who has had some near misses on AW and sets the standard. Cervaro Della Sala is feared most.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

QUANAH was a close third over 5f at Catterick earlier in the month and the eight-year-old has to be of interest off the same mark here. Tilsworth Ony Ta has shown promise on his last couple of starts, including a second over course and distance in February, and he should not be underestimated. Others who merit places on the shortlist are Josies Kid, Stroxx and Viewfromthestars.

C&D scorer TILSWORTH ONY TA is fancied to resume winning ways now reverted in trip at the chief expense of handily-weighted Viewfromthestars. Recent Lingfield victor Suanni and C&D winner Stroxx also need factoring into this open handicap.

Top of the list is TILSWORTH ONY TA, who has a record of 244112 at this track. Last week's Catterick third Quanah is feared most.

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

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

STACEY RACEY took a big step forward when winning on her handicap debut over 6f at Southwell a month ago, when she accounted for a subsequent winner. A 4lb rise in the ratings may underestimate this unexposed filly and she merits the utmost respect as a result. Piper's Fort is an obvious threat following his narrow defeat at Lingfield last time, while Southbank edges out Zachary to be the pick of the remainder.

PIPER'S FORT upped his game significantly when runner-up at Lingfield last month and remains fairly treated. He gets the nod. Dame Darcey and Stacey Racey are feared most.

Top of the list is STACEY RACEY, who won in good style on her handicap debut at Southwell and a 4lb rise for that success looks fair.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 13f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Fleurman was well beaten at Lingfield last month but first-time blinkers could spark a revival. However, preference is for BARENBOIM, who is 1-2 at this track and finished a very pleasing third in what was a warm handicap at Lingfield last time. The hood was back on that day and he boasts a pretty good record when sporting that headgear (4-13). Capital Theory completes the shortlist.

BARENBOIM is an in-form course winner and likely to go well again. Banana Three and Rathgar can also make their presence felt.

The vote goes to BARENBOIM, who was a good third at Lingfield last time and is a big player if he gets a good pace back at this trip.

20:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CUBAN MELODY shaped with plenty of promise when filling the runner-up berth on her debut at Kempton and the daughter of Havana Grey can find normal improvement to go one better. So Logical has produced two solid efforts so far in her young career, including a second at Newmarket in October, and she could have a say. Heavenly Fire rates best of the remaining trio.

SO LOGICAL built on her promising racecourse bow when runner-up at Newmarket in October and is taken to open her account here. Cuban Melody is also a potential improver and looks the obvious danger.

Cuban Melody is respected but preference is for SO LOGICAL, who sets a good standard on her close second at Newmarket last October.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

DAARIS finished two lengths clear of the third in this grade at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and he competes off only 1lb higher this evening. Kevin Frost's five-year-old won't mind the step back up in trip and he can get his head back in front. Escarpment has his first crack at this distance in first-time cheekpieces, which makes him an interesting contender. Of the remainder, For Pleasure makes most appeal.

DAARIS signalled he's ready to go in when a staying-on second at Wolverhampton last time and gets the vote with this step up in trip also a plus. Mick Appleby's duo Escarpment and Shadowfax rate the main dangers and can chase home Kevin Frost's 5-y-o in that order.

Preference is for DAARIS (nap), who didn't get much luck when a strong-finishing second over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last month.

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.
