17:45 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.13/1 (1) MONTE LINAS 2nd: 1.88/1 (7) AMERICAN BELLE 3rd: 11/1 (3) FLAME SPIRIT

Runner-up over C&D on her last two starts, this represents a good opportunity for AMERICAN BELLE to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking and she is fancied to go one better here. James Fanshawe's three-year-old is fairly well-related and there is likely much more in her locker. Monte Linas secured a comfortable success on his racecourse debut last month and is feared most, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, while Terwada completes the shortlist.

HILDEGARD caught the eye when fifth in a novice over C&D on debut 4 weeks ago and can find the required improvement to beat form-pick American Belle, who finished over 4 lengths in front of the selection that day. Monte Linas overcame inexperience to make a winning debut over C&D 2 weeks ago and is another to consider despite his penalty.

A penalty will make things tougher after his winning debut but, given his potential, MONTE LINAS is taken to follow up.

18:15 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 difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, 3.75/1 (4) ARAIFJAN, 9/1 (3) ALMODOVAR DEL RIO, and 3.33/1 (5) ANIFICAS BEAUTY are all mentioned as having potential and should be involved in the finish. 3.5/1 (1) FORCA BRASIL, while equipped with a hood, has not shown much since his debut win and may be less likely to finish in the top three. Ultimately, the race is unpredictable and could be won by any of the listed horses.

ANIFICAS BEAUTY took a big step forward on her return to action when scoring over 7f at this track last month and a drop in trip may not be enough to stop her following up. She made virtually all on that occasion and is entitled to secure a double off 6lb higher, but Company Minx was a game winner over this trip at Kempton most recently and can give the selection plenty to think about. Araifjan also warrants a market check.

ANIFICAS BEAUTY proved as good as ever when making a winning return from 6 months off over further here 3 weeks ago and the manner of that success suggests she could well have more to offer moving forward. Forca Brasil (non runner at Brighton on Wednesday) is an intriguing contender back in the care of George Boughey and is feared, with Almodovar del Rio also shortlisted.

Most are of interest but EPIC EXPRESS is in better form than this figures suggest and he gets the nod.

18:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

1st place: 3.5/1 (3) CEDAR CAGE 2nd place: 5/1 (2) MELAKAZ 3rd place: 3.5/1 (6) WHAT WILL BE

Smokey Malone steps up in class following a game win over this trip at Southwell last month and can have a say in proceedings off 2lb higher, but recent course winner CEDAR CAGE is marginally preferred on this occasion. He has gone up 3lb for a comfortable success over 2m most recently and is fancied to land a double here, while Master Grey scored with some authority at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and is another to bear in mind.

MELAKAZ is a thoroughly likeable sort who is definitely the type to win more races this year. Robert Stephens' 5-y-o gets the vote to make a winning reappearance at the expense of What Will Be, who ran well on both outings at this venue last month and should be in the mix once again. Smokey Malone can fill out third spot.

The percentage call goes to WHAT WILL BE (nap), who is 2-2 over C&D. Cedar Cage is second choice ahead of Melakaz.

19:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2.2/1 (6) YOU SAW BRIGADOON, 2nd: 3.5/1 (1) DABBOUS, 3rd: 4.5/1 (7) GREEK GIANT

You Saw Brigadoon remains in good form and must be considered, along with Dabbous, who should appreciate the return to C&D having won here from 7lb lower last month, but a chance is taken on LADY D'ASCOYNE. The daughter of Showcasing displayed some promise on her debut at Goodwood last year, but her pedigree suggests she can take a marked step forward up in trip on this handicap bow.

YOU SAW BRIGADOON has shown improved form sent handicapping this year, gettng off the mark at Wolverhampton in March before bumping into a handicap debutante when runner-up last time. He remains unexposed at this longer distance and can resume winning ways, though Greek Giant and Churchill Rose are also open to progress and are feared most.

The vote goes to GREEK GIANT, who should build on his Nottingham effort. Dabbous is second choice.

19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, I would predict that 2.5/1 (1) BOASTY will do well and finish in 1st place. 2/1 (5) CAVALLUCCIO may finish in 2nd place, and 6.5/1 (3) MARION'S BOY could finish in 3rd place.

Boasty arrives in good form having notched up a brace of C&D wins recently, but a 6lb rise for the latest of those victories leaves him on a career-high mark and MAYFAIR GOLD is preferred. Alan King's charge scored on her second handicap start, winning at Southwell in January. It's unlikely she has reached the ceiling of her ability so a 4lb hike could prove lenient. Cavalluccio and Lenny's Spirit can battle it out for third.

CAVALLUCCIO has proved at least as good as ever this year, winning twice from his last 4 starts and finishing runner-up on the other 2 occasions, so he can score again in his current form with the return to 1m2f to suit. Boasty arrives bidding for a hat-trick and isn't taken lightly, with Mayfair Gold the pick of the remainder.

Several of these arrive in good form, none more so than BOASTY, who looked to have more up his sleeve last time and can win again.

20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

First Place: 4/1 (7) THOMAS EQUINAS Second Place: 7.5/1 (11) NIVELLE'S MAGIC Third Place: 9/1 (1) COMPERE

COMPERE bounced back to form when finishing a close second over course and distance last month and he merits the utmost respect off the same mark here. Thomas Equinas has filled the runner-up position in both starts since winning here in March and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Arlo's Sunshine and The Waiting Game are others who deserve to feature on the shortlist.

Having opened his account at this course in March, THOMAS EQUINAS has continued in good form when runner-up both starts since and he looks ready to gain a first success in handicap company. The main danger could be Waleyfa who had excuses for a below-par effort last time, with Nivelle's Magic completing the shortlist.

A largely inconsistent bunch go to post and THOMAS EQUINAS is taken to score by maintaining his good recent form.

LTO Selection:

20:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it appears that 1.75/1 (3) WYVERN and 5.5/1 (2) SIR OLIVER have the best recent form and are likely contenders for the top spots. 1.75/1 (1) TARRABB has shown potential in the past but may need this race to get back into form. 6/1 (4) RIOT has some good past performances but may not be the easiest to win with. Therefore, a predicted order of finish could be: 1st - 1.75/1 (3) WYVERN 2nd - 5.5/1 (2) SIR OLIVER 3rd - 1.75/1 (1) TARRABB

WYVERN was only beaten a neck into second in a similar event over this track and trip a couple of weeks ago and the four-year-old gets the vote off just a 1lb higher mark. Sir Oliver was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and that followed an encouraging effort here in March. Tarrabb won some competitive contests last season and she cannot be discounted on her return to action.

A tricky finale to solve despite the small field but WYVERN ran up to his best when foiled only by a 66/1 shot over C&D a fortnight ago and, now nudged up just 1 lb for that near miss, Stuart Williams' charge can notch a fourth career success. The returning Tarrabb shades the vote for the forecast spot over Sir Oliver.

Tarrabb is respected despite her lack of recent match practice. However, a solid alternative is the in-form WYVERN.

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.
