1st (4) Shades Of Summer (2.75/1 -22%)
Shades Of Summer

2.75
2.75/1(-22%)
(4) Shades Of Summer 2.75/1, Course winner. Two wins from 5 runs last year. Latest win here in November. Respectable third of 8 in handicap (11/8) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago. Could resume progress and makes plenty of appeal.
Turned over at short prices twice this spring and the extra furlong needs to help.

(3) Winforglory 4/1, Lightly-raced winner. Two wins from 4 runs last year. Eighth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 31 days ago, slowly away. Back down in trip.
Tonight's drop back in trip should help and he ought to fare better down another 2lb.

(7) Jenson Benson 6/1, 4-time course winner. Latest win here in February. Last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 18/1) 26 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Not discounted returning to a track where he usually goes well.
Will need a good test down from 1m3f, as well as a career-best, if he's to take this.

One More Dream

2.25
2.25/1(+10%)
(2) One More Dream 2.25/1, Five wins from 17 Flat runs. Three wins from 12 runs last year. 9/4, career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago, bit in hand. Should go well again.
Made it 2-2 over C&D two weeks ago; further 5lb rise demands more but holds leading claims.

Baikal

125
125/1(-213%)
(1) Baikal 125/1, Last of 13 in handicap at Redcar (10f, heavy, 50/1) 10 days ago. Down in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Uphill task.
Maiden who's with his third yard; comes right down in trip in first-time cheekpieces.

6.5/1(+46%)
(5) Papa Stour 6.5/1, Two wins from 5 runs last year. 14/1 and hooded for 1st time, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (8f) 26 days ago. Visor back on, tongue strap back on. Chance if rediscovering old form.
On the downgrade since returning from eight months off and others are more likely.

Ideal Guest

14
14/1(-87%)
(6) Ideal Guest 14/1, Three wins from 12 runs last year. Sixth of 9 in handicap (6/1) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft). Off 6 months. Others make more appeal.
May well be able to get his own way but will need to be spot on off this mark.
LTO Selection:

17:40 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

2.5/1 (2) ONE MORE DREAM seems like the most likely to do well, given their recent form and the fact that they have already won at this course twice, with a recent win over the same distance. 2.25/1 (4) SHADES OF SUMMER also has potential, with their respectable third place finish in their last race and a previous win at this course.

A taking winner over course and distance last time out, ONE MORE DREAM can follow up off a 5lb higher mark and gain a sixth career victory. That may be at the main expense of the dual-course winner Shades Of Summer, who has the potential to improve for this step up in trip. Ideal Guest is another to note on his return, as well as Jenson Benson.

SHADES OF SUMMER was progressive prior to her respectable effort at Wolverhampton and a return to this track should help, so she's marginally preferred to the likeable One More Dream, who is still going the right way. Jenson Benson is also considered.

It's hard to get away from the progressive ONE MORE DREAM (nap) as he bids to make it 3-3 over C&D. Winforglory rates the danger.

Spirited Guest

5
5/1(+69%)
(7) Spirited Guest 5/1, Didn't get his head in front last year but dropped down the weights as a result and returned with creditable second of 8 in handicap over C&D (15/2) 14 days ago, running on. Shortlisted.
Claims on comeback second but was patchy last season and hasn't won in almost two years.
6
2nd (6) Priscilla's Wish (6/1 -100%)
Priscilla's Wish

6
6/1(-100%)
(6) Priscilla's Wish 6/1, Five wins from 12 runs last year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (66/1) over C&D on return 7 days ago, driven out. 5 lb penalty to carry now but another bold is anticipated.
Surprise winner over C&D in a race run to suit last week; could be up to defying a penalty.
5
3rd (5) Lord Rapscallion (3.5/1 +13%)
Lord Rapscallion

3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(5) Lord Rapscallion 3.5/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in December. 9/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) 43 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Currently 2-2 over C&D after two narrow wins in the winter,; not as good since though.

4th (3) Business (4.5/1 +36%)
Business

4.5
4.5/1(+36%)
(3) Business 4.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. 33/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 26 days ago, never nearer. Others have achieved more.
Ran better than his final position latest; is one to consider back down in trip.
4
5th (4) Barging Thru (3/1 +14%)
Barging Thru

3
3/1(+14%)
(4) Barging Thru 3/1, C&D winner. One win from 3 runs last year. Latest win here in March. Visored for 1st time, fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (10/3) 21 days ago. Others preferred.
Two solid efforts over C&D this spring; is a straightforward sort who enters the equation.
2
6th (2) G'Daay (5.5/1 +0%)
G'Daay

5.5
5.5/1(+0%)
(2) G'Daay 5.5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 14 runs last year. Below par when 3¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Lord Rapscallion in handicap over C&D in December but reappears off a fair mark and must enter calculations.
Record over C&D since handicapping reads 123115 but is 3lb above his highest winning mark.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

3/1 (6) PRISCILLA'S WISH is likely to do well based on the summary as it won the last race and has a strong record with five wins from 12 runs last year. It may be able to defy the penalty and secure another win. 14/1 (7) SPIRITED GUEST is also a possible contender as it returned with a creditable second place after dropping down in weights last year.

PRISCILLA'S WISH has racked up plenty of wins over the last 12 months and she returned from 173-day break to score over C&D last week. A 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her as she looks to make it seven wins from her last eight starts. Runner-up over course and distance last time out, Spirited Guest looks to be her main danger, along with Spirit Of Nguru.

PRISCILLA'S WISH got back on the up when making a winning reappearance here last week and may be able to follow up. Spirited Guest and G'daay are feared most.

A chance is taken on BUSINESS, who shaped better than his final position last time. The reliable Barging Thru is next best.

Tiempo Star

3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(7) Tiempo Star 3.5/1, Failed to go on as hoped last season, well-beaten sixth of 11 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft, 12/) when last seen in July. Needs to get back on track after 9 months off.
Has a nine-month absence to overcome but is at least worth a market check.

Phantasy Mac

8
8/1(+33%)
(1) Phantasy Mac 8/1, Five wins from 9 runs last term, including at Kempton on her final start in October. However, has struggled for form this year, tenth of 14 in handicap at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) 20 days ago.
Nothing like as good in three runs back this spring and it's hard to back her currently.
9

Hotspur Harry

6.5
6.5/1(+19%)
(9) Hotspur Harry 6.5/1, Shaped well after 7 months off when second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (16/1) 26 days ago, conceding first run. Needs to build on that effort back up in grade.
Solid effort on C&D comeback this month; should go well again.
5
4th (5) Last Hoorah (18/1 -13%)
Last Hoorah

18
18/1(-13%)
(5) Last Hoorah 18/1, After 8 months off, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 20/1) 28 days ago. Cheekpieces back on, but still looking for his first success in handicap company.
No signs of a revival on his comeback, when last of seven behind Dynamic Talent.
8
5th (8) Balgair (18/1 -13%)
Balgair

18
18/1(-13%)
(8) Balgair 18/1, Course winner. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (1m2f, 20/1) in November. Below his last winning mark, but may just be vulnerable to his younger rivals on his return.
Does most racing now over further and is approaching the veteran stage.
3
6th (3) Dynamic Talent (16/1 -33%)
Dynamic Talent

16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Dynamic Talent 16/1, Three wins from 8 runs in 2022. Below form both starts so far this year, though, sixth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 11/) 28 days ago.
Better chance of seeing it out round here; not consistent but is on his last winning mark.
6
7th (6) Brunel Charm (8/1 +11%)
Brunel Charm

8
8/1(+11%)
(6) Brunel Charm 8/1, Again not seen to best effect when second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 12/1) 29 days ago, faring best of those held up. Capable of getting involved.
Does most racing over 7f now; a lot will hinge on how he settles and how the race pans out.
10
8th (10) Goldsmith (8/1 +11%)
Goldsmith

8
8/1(+11%)
(10) Goldsmith 8/1, Won at Lingfield in December/January on first 2 starts for current trainer. Shaped as if still in good form when third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt.
Be happier back to Polytrack but the drop in trip, minus the usual hood, is a concern.
4
9th (4) He's A Gentleman (5.5/1 +8%)
He's A Gentleman

5.5
5.5/1(+8%)
(4) He's A Gentleman 5.5/1, Upped in grade when last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 12/) on final outing last year. Could leave his latest run behind back in calmer waters after 5 months off.
Just a single win to date; outside stall isn't ideal for one happiest on the sharp end.
2
10th (2) Lucky San Jore (5/1 -67%)
Lucky San Jore

5
5/1(-67%)
(2) Lucky San Jore 5/1, Two wins from 5 runs last year, successful at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in October. After 5 months off, ran well when second of 9 in handicap at the same C&D (10/3) 31 days ago. Major player on polytrack debut.
Raced exclusively over 9.5f at Wolverhampton for this yard, often pulling hard; needs more.
LTO Selection:

18:50 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

8/1 (9) HOTSPUR HARRY is the most likely to do well based on the summary. He had a solid effort on his C&D comeback this month and shaped well after 7 months off when second in his previous race. He is expected to go well again and just needs to build on his last effort.

This can go the way of LUCKY SAN JORE, who has done very well since joining the Marco Botti stable and this drop in trip could get him back on the winning trail. The four-year-old is narrowly preferred to Brunel Charm and Hotspur Harry, who was not beaten far over course and distance last time out. Goldsmith and Tiempo Star are also entitled to be thereabouts.

LUCKY SAN JORE has yet to finish out of the frame in 4 starts for his current yard, running well after 5 months off when second at Wolverhampton last month, so he is taken to build on his reappearance effort and resume winning ways. Goldsmith has also been in good form since switching trainers and can go well again, with Brunel Charm completing the shortlist.

After a pleasing C&D comeback, despite a slow start, HOTSPUR HARRY gets the nod. Tiempo Star is worth tracking in the market.

This course should suit her style but she has plenty to find; holds each-way claims.

Better with each start last year; further improvement is possible and she's considered.

Highly tried last summer after impressive debut win; this is more realistic; possibilities.

Well held on her comeback in France last month; Pillow Talk perhaps her yard's best shot.

Again found this company too hot when last of nine on her Cork comeback.

Step back up from 5f looks in her favour but will be doing well to make the frame.

Will be happier back down in trip from a handy draw but is vulnerable to improvers.

Ran up a quick hat-trick in Tapeta handicaps early in the year but this looks beyond her.

Picked up for 150,000gns; needs to have improved over the winter if she's to take this.

Rage Of Bamby

Combination of drop in trip, sharp course and stall 12 is a worry but sets the standard.
7

Love Affairs

Lightly raced but this is a deal tougher and she's landed stall 14.
LTO Selection:

19:25 Chelmsford Listed (Class 1) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

Rage of Bamby is the most likely winner according to the summary.

BELIEVING makes plenty of appeal following her creditable fifth in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket. Twice second in Group 3 company as a juvenile and having her second run since undergoing wind surgery, there is a lot to like about George Boughey's filly and her supporters will be pleased to see that James Doyle keeps the ride. Marine Wave is feared most given her juvenile form reads well, while Rage Of Bamby finished third in the Rockfel and also comes into calculations.

Having won on her first 2 starts, RAGE OF BAMBY improved again when third in the Rockfel at Newmarket, so she is well worth another chance after a below-par effort on her final outing last season. She can resume her progress to see off the challenge of Believing, who is respected back down in trip, while Lady Hamana also merits consideration with her reappearance run behind her.

Believing is a player, with the drop from 7f in her favour, but the lightly raced GLENLAUREL is open to improvement and preferred.

Debut was too bad to be true and maybe the heavy ground was to blame; can do much better.

Again hung left on comeback (50-1) and will probably find life easier once handicapping.
LTO Selection:

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

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

3/1 (5) HAILEY YA MAL is the most promising horse based on the summary, as he has a strong pedigree and is considered an interesting newcomer despite being in a difficult stall position. He is also half-brother to two debutant winners and has a good chance of doing well in his first race.

SURREY NOIR ran well for a long way over 7f on his debut at Kempton last month and, with the drop in trip looking likely to suit, he can put that experience to good use in this company. Chamber Choir appears to be the main threat to the selection with the first-time blinkers a possible aid for improvement, although all-weather debutant Poweredbylove also has to be respected.

SURREY NOIR offered something to work on when fifth at Kempton on debut last month, not knocked about, and he can build on that effort to open his account at the second attempt. Hailey Ya Mal makes plenty of appeal on paper and could be the main danger on his first start, while Chamber Choir ran well on her stable debut last time.

Hailey Ya Mal is an interesting newcomer but this can go to SURREY NOIR, who shaped well from a tough stall on debut.

1.75/1(+50%)
(5) Twayblade 1.75/1, 6/4, improved to justify market confidence in 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (6f, heavy) 12 days ago, making all. 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to stop him.
Very well supported when making all latest; 5lb rise demands more but is respected.

Three-figure prices for three runs in February, finishing a well-beaten last each time.
LTO Selection:

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

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

Based on the summary, it is most likely that 3.5/1 (5) TWAYBLADE will do well since he has won his last race and only has a 5 lb rise, which is not significant enough to hinder him. He is also respected and well-supported according to the summary. 4/1 (1) RHYTHMIC ACCLAIM may also have potential as he is open to improvement and his yard is going well. The other horses either lack experience, have not shown significant improvement, or have not done well in their previous races.

It looks best to side with TWAYBLADE, who exploited a drop in the handicap to score at Yarmouth 12 days ago. He made all that day and is berthed well in stall two to do so once again here. Quinault is bred to be smart and he merits the utmost respect on this handicap debut, while South Dakota Sioux is another to consider.

TWAYBLADE reacted positively to a switch to front-running tactics at Yarmouth last time and might be able to dominate here from a handy low stall. Quinault is a likely improver now switching to handicap company for the Stuart Williams yard and is second choice ahead of Sumac, who was comfortably held by the selection at Yarmouth but can fare better back on AW with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.

Twayblade is respected but preference is for RHYTHMIC ACCLAIM, who remains open to improvement for a yard among the winners.

(5) Seal Of Solomon 8/1, Four wins from 13 runs last year, the latest at Wolverhampton in October. 5/1, seventh of 10 in handicap there final start. Been off for 6 months. Othes preferred this time.

(7) Dirham Emirati 22/1, Well beaten over hurdles and on AW Flat this winter but stable's recent form is a plus back from a 106-day break.
Out of form over hurdles late last year; last of nine back on Flat (1m4f, AW) in January.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 2.25/1 (8) SPIT SPOT C&D appears to be the most promising contender for the upcoming race. The horse has had recent successes, including two 1st and 2nd place finishes in the last three runs. Additionally, the horse has a history of success on this particular course and has the potential for further improvement under a new stable. Therefore, 2.25/1 (8) SPIT SPOT C&D seems to be the strongest choice among the listed horses.

WORLD WITHOUT LOVE finished a promising second over 2m here a week ago when returning from a 160-day absence. She's 4lb higher than when successful over this trip last November, but the daughter of Ulysses remains unexposed over staying distances and could have more to offer. She edges the vote ahead of Spit Spot, who hit the woodwork over course and distance when last seen. Seal Of Solomon must also enter calculations, along with Golden Keeper.

While her peak fitness has to be taken on trust there should be more to come from SPIT SPOT for her new stable so she's narrowly preferred to last week's 2m course second World Without Love. De Vega's Warrior presumably failed to handle deep ground back on turt at Nottingham last time but had run well on AW prior to that and can prove rest of the rest.

While others are also interesting, the ones to concentrate on may well be SPIT SPOT, World Without Love and Seal Of Solomon.

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.
