20
20/1(-300%)
(4) Glitterati 20/1, Foaled April 2. Due Diligence colt. Dam unraced. Trainer’s newcomers command respect. Some appeal on paper and yard's 2yos ticking along nicely; interesting newcomer.

300/1(-140%)
(8) Sangatien 300/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden at Redcar (6f, good, 40/1) 17 days ago. Hard to fancy. Poor form in three turf starts this spring; difficult to recommend.

17:15 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
The penny dropped late on for HOLBROOK on his debut when he finished sixth at Leicester last month. Ollie Sangster's juvenile overcame his inexperience to finish his race off well and, with normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Glitterati is bred for speed and he goes for Archie Watson, who can ready one first time out, so he has to be considered with Luke Morris booked. Lockwood completes the shortlist.
NUMBER has acquitted himself well in both starts to date and has the assistance of Oisin Murphy. He can open his account. The chief threat may come from one of the newcomers, with Glitterati and Ballsgrove Boy appealing most.
Number sets the standard and is respected but LOCKWOOD looks a likely newcomer on pedigree.
(3) Cool Hoof Luke 7/2, Foaled March 29. 16,000 gns foal, €20,000 yearling, Advertise colt. Dam once-raced sister to smart winner up to 6f Lohit. Ticks plenty of boxes and newcomers from yard often fancied. Advertise colt; considered newcomer, especially if the market vibes are positive.
2
2nd (2) (7/2 -27%) Brian
3.5
7/2(-27%)
(2) Brian 7/2, Shaped encouragingly at big odds when fourth of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 17 days ago, finishing well after not clear run entering final 1f. Should have more to offer. Promising start when fourth at Windsor; he can build on it so must enter calculations.
7
3rd (7) (10/1 +29%) Invincible Crown
10
10/1(+29%)
(7) Invincible Crown 10/1, Foaled March 30. €6,000 yearling, Inns of Court colt. Dam, 8.6f winner, half-sister to useful 6f/7f winner Nations Alexander. Check betting. Son of Inns Of Court can't be discounted on his debut for his in-form handler.
9
4th (9) (33/1 -50%) Pay Attention
33
33/1(-50%)
(9) Pay Attention 33/1, Foaled April 12. Mohaather colt. Dam US 6f/7f winner. Likely outsider. Mohaather colt; possibilities on his first start.
4
5th (4) (22/1 +0%) Diomed Duke
22
22/1(+0%)
(4) Diomed Duke 22/1, Foaled January 30. 11,000 gns yearling, Mayson gelding. Dam 5f winner (including at 2 yrs). This Mayson gelding is one to consider if the betting speaks in his favour.
5
6th (5) (13/2 -8%) Enchanted Eye
6.5
13/2(-8%)
(5) Enchanted Eye 13/2, 14/1, shaped promisingly when sixth of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Will be suited by 7f, but entitled to progress nonetheless. Encouraging debut sixth at Windsor; this son of Expert Eye can take a step forward now.
8
7th (8) (11/2 -10%) Lovestruck Romeo
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(8) Lovestruck Romeo 11/2, Still green when third of 8 in minor event (5/1) at Salisbury (5f, good) 12 days ago. Remains capable of better now stepping up in trip. Still green when Salisbury third latest; open to progress, especially at 6f; interesting.
1
8th (1) (40/1 -21%) Adelaide Bay
40
40/1(-21%)
(1) Adelaide Bay 40/1, 25/1, offered little when fourteenth of 15 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) on debut 17 days ago. Beat only one in maiden at Windsor; this New Bay colt needs to take a big step forward.
6
9th (6) (40/1 -60%) Freak Encounter
40
40/1(-60%)
(6) Freak Encounter 40/1, Foaled March 23. €22,000 foal, 13,000 gns yearling, Dandy Man colt. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Rajasinghe. This Dandy Man newcomer is not without interest; worth a market check.
11
10th (11) (14/1 -40%) Flor Do Rio
14
14/1(-40%)
(11) Flor Do Rio 14/1, Foaled April 25. €10,500 foal, River Boyne filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 1m Captain Joy (2-y-o 7f winner, by Dark Angel) and winner up to 1½m Chestnut Honey (2-y-o 7f winner, by No Nay Never), both smart dam 11.5f/1½m winner. Worth a second look. River Boyne half-sister to five winners; yard can ready them; very much one to consider.
17:45 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
BRIAN went into many notebooks when he finished fourth at Windsor last month and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal progression, he ought to go close, with his main threat possibly being Lovestruck Romeo, who has the plum draw in stall one and has produced two solid efforts in his career so far, including his third at Salisbury last time. Any market support for Cool Hoof Luke would be interesting too.
BRIAN finished with running left after meeting trouble when fourth on debut at Windsor recently so, granted better luck in-running, Sylvester Kirk's colt is fancied to get off the mark at the expense of debutant Cool Hoof Luke, who represents the in-form Andrew Balding yard and ticks plenty of boxes on paper. This step up in trip should suit Lovestruck Romeo so he can edge out sole filly Flor Do Rio for third.
The market should reveal plenty but LOVESTRUCK ROMEO is taken to put his experience to good use and get off the mark now up in trip.
(3) Philos 20/1, Latest win at Kempton in November. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, soft, 10/1) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive for all return to the AW probably in his favour. Failed to hit top form at Ayr/York of late; no surprise to see him bounce back on AW here.
10
2nd (10) (7/1 -17%) Hill Spirit
7
7/1(-17%)
(10) Hill Spirit 7/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Fair winner at 16f over hurdles. Cheekpieces on for first time, eleventh of 12 in handicap (5/2) at Bath (11.6f, good) 22 days ago. Up in trip. which may help but he's not straightforward. Beat only one at Bath 22 days ago; this longer trip promises to suit though.
5
3rd (5) (3/1 +40%) Further Measure
3
3/1(+40%)
(5) Further Measure 3/1, Course winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 7/2, good second of 8 in handicap at this course (16f) 14 days ago. Should be on the premises again. Course winner who is knocking on the door, second here latest; bold showing on the cards.
6
4th (6) (9/2 +36%) Nivelle's Magic
4.5
9/2(+36%)
(6) Nivelle's Magic 9/2, 3/1, wasn't seen to best effect when eighth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (12f) 57 days ago, switched in the straight. Shortlist material trying this trip for the first time. Arrives in good nick, not best of runs when Kempton eighth latest; player now up in trip.
7
5th (7) (7/2 +0%) Merry Minister
3.5
7/2(+0%)
(7) Merry Minister 7/2, Latest win at Lingfield in February. 4/1, creditable fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 21 days ago. Looks competitive on form. In good order, challenging wide when Lingfield fifth latest; ought to be in the shake-up.
1
6th (1) (17/2 -21%) Grand Duchess Olga
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(1) Grand Duchess Olga 17/2, C&D winner. 6/1, fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (16f) 14 days ago. Likely to bounce back given overall record at this track. C&D winner but only fifth here two weeks ago; she's the sort to bounce back though.
9
7th (9) (66/1 -65%) Longuerue
66
66/1(-65%)
(9) Longuerue 66/1, Last of 6 in handicap (18/1) at this course (16f). Off 112 days and she doesn't look an easy ride. Failed to beat a rival on her last two runs in 2m handicaps at Kempton and here.
13
8th (13) (80/1 -142%) Duveen
80
80/1(-142%)
(13) Duveen 80/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 33/1, last of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, soft) 15 days ago. Is now 0-18 and last of 12 in Yarmouth handicap 15 days ago; she's very hard to warm to.
11
9th (11) (22/1 +0%) Miss Tiki
22
22/1(+0%)
(11) Miss Tiki 22/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 66/1, fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D 35 days ago. Arrives on long losing run but not disgraced when C&D fourth 35 days ago; possibilities.
2
10th (2) (16/1 -33%) Dereham
16
16/1(-33%)
(2) Dereham 16/1, Seventh of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Pontefract (18f, good to soft). Off 8 months. Back down in trip and he might just need this. Ended 2023 below par; he needs to hit the ground running after eight months off the track.
4
11th (4) (28/1 -100%) Ray's The One
28
28/1(-100%)
(4) Ray's The One 28/1, C&D winner. Eighth of 12 in handicap hurdle (25/1) at Fontwell (17.7f, good) 21 days ago. Modest on the Flat, below form when last seen on the AW in November. C&D scorer last June but he's been below par over hurdles of late; needs to bounce back.
12
12th (12) (50/1 -127%) Onemore Twomore
50
50/1(-127%)
(12) Onemore Twomore 50/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm, 66/1). Off 10 months. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Philip McBride. Poor maiden in 2023 for Philip McBride; lots to prove after ten months off.
8
13th (8) (150/1 -127%) Simply Ed
150
150/1(-127%)
(8) Simply Ed 150/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW, 50/1) 21 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Last on his handicap debut at Lingfield (2m) three weeks ago; he's hard to warm to.
18:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
FURTHER MEASURE has been unfortunate to occupy the runner-up berth over 2m here on each of his last two starts, but he is only 2lb higher for those efforts. He should have no issues with this drop in trip and looks the one to beat. Miss Tiki wasn't disgraced in fourth over C&D last time and she should go well off an unchanged mark, while Merry Minister is another to consider.
NIVELLE'S MAGIC can boast a better will to win than most at this sort of level and well worth a crack at this new trip, she's just about the most persuasive option. Further Measure seems sure to make his presence felt again, with the slightly quirky Hill Spirit another to consider for place purposes.
Course scorer FURTHER MEASURE is taken to gain a deserved success with the form of his recent second over 2m here having been franked.
(5) Royal Praise 100/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 20/1 and visored for first time, last of 12 in maiden at this course (7f) 42 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut and must bounce back. Last in 7f maiden here when visored; needs this switch to handicaps to spark improvement.
2
2nd (2) (85/40 +15%) Marefuori
2.125
85/40(+15%)
(2) Marefuori 85/40, 8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. That was a sound effort in a better handicap than this (that is also working out well) so he has to be of serious interest. Good C&D fifth latest; form working out really well so merits serious consideration.
3
3rd (3) (7/1 +30%) Galactic Charm
7
7/1(+30%)
(3) Galactic Charm 7/1, Fourth of 7 in maiden (9/2) at Goodwood (8f, soft) 33 days ago. Back up in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Makes handicap debut and he might not be straightforward. Fair fourth at Goodwood last month; makes his Polytrack/handicap debut with more required.
1
4th (1) (3/1 +33%) Alpen Power
3
3/1(+33%)
(1) Alpen Power 3/1, Gained sole win over 1m here in September. Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (10f, good, 11/1) 19 days ago, fading. This is easier. Course winner but only ninth back on turf at Newmarket; sort to bounce back here.
6
5th (6) (9/2 -157%) Clear Storm
4.5
9/2(-157%)
(6) Clear Storm 9/2, Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good, 11/2) 27 days ago, staying on well. 3 lb rise won't prevent bold follow-up bid. Scored on handicap debut at Nottingham (1m2f); that form has been franked so major claims.
4
6th (4) (8/1 +11%) Faayzah
8
8/1(+11%)
(4) Faayzah 8/1, Turned over at odds-on third start then seventh of 12 in novice event at Lingfield (8f, AW, 8/1). Off 7 months. Up in trip for handicap debut and must improve to defy this mark. Fair maiden at two; returns for her h'cap debut and could have a say now going up in trip.
18:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ALPEN POWER gets the nod. Charlie Johnston's charge finished down the field in a Newmarket handicap most recently, but he was an unlucky loser at Newcastle prior to that and returning to an artificial surface looks ideal. Faayzah is the likely pace angle into the race and a bold showing would come as no surprise, while last-time-out winner Clear Storm completes the shortlist upped 3lb.
The C&D handicap in which MAREFUORI finished fifth in has already received several boosts so he has a lot to recommend him eased slightly in class. Clear Storm got the job done on handicap debut at Nottingham and is the obvious threat.
Preference is for CLEAR STORM (nap) who made a winning start in handicaps at Nottingham and can improve enough to defy a 3lb rise.
(6) Charlotte's Web 14/1, Night of Thunder filly. Dam, placed at 1m-9.5f (including at 2 yrs) in France, half-sister to useful winner up to 10.5f Luminate. First foal of maiden half-sister to Group 3 winner Luminate; connections run two newcomers.
5
1st (5) (11/2 +21%) Candle Of Dubai
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(5) Candle Of Dubai 11/2, Stepped up slightly on debut run despite occupying same spot when second of 10 in minor event at Goodwood (9.9f, good to firm) 12 days ago, having run of race. Likely to give it another good go. Second over C&D on debut and filled the same spot at Goodwood 12 days ago; contender.
3
2nd (3) (2/1 +11%) Ten Dimes
2
2/1(+11%)
(3) Ten Dimes 2/1, Promising sort who landed the odds on second start in 9-runner maiden at Newcastle (8f) 51 days ago. Up in trip and this well-bred filly is open to lots of progress for top yard. 1m win at Newcastle on return in April (still green); should stay; leading contender.
2
3rd (2) (13/8 +35%) Precious Jewel
1.625
13/8(+35%)
(2) Precious Jewel 13/8, Confirmed debut promise when winning 6-runner novice event at Newmarket (12f, good) 19 days ago. Enjoyed run of race but very much open to improvement for top yard. 1m4f win at Newmarket last month; open to further progress; strong contender.
8
4th (8) (25/1 -178%) Daylight Chorus
25
25/1(-178%)
(8) Daylight Chorus 25/1, €245,000 yearling, Teofilo filly. Sister to 12.4f winner Hymn Book Too and closely related to top-class winner up to 1m Dawn Approach and smart 2-y-o 7f winner Herald The Dawn. Dam maiden. Lots to like on paper. 245,000euros yearling; closely related to Guineas winner Dawn Approach; market instructive.
4
5th (4) (10/1 +17%) Cakewalk
10
10/1(+17%)
(4) Cakewalk 10/1, Sea The Stars filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Golden Town out of useful 1½m winner Princesse Dansante. First foal of an unraced sister to 1m2f Listed winner Skiffle; useful standard to aim at.
12
6th (12) (200/1 -300%) Sparkling Belle
200
200/1(-300%)
(12) Sparkling Belle 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 50/1, fourth of 7 in maiden at this course (8f) 28 days ago. Up in trip. Needs to step up on her two course runs over shorter.
11
7th (11) (150/1 -88%) Samoon Star
150
150/1(-88%)
(11) Samoon Star 150/1, Tenth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to firm, 66/1) 17 days ago. Up in trip. Not living up to her top-class pedigree; new trip can help but handicaps beckon.
13
8th (13) (8/1 -14%) Upton
8
8/1(-14%)
(13) Upton 8/1, Kitten's Joy filly. Sister to high-class winner up to 1m Kameko and half-sister to useful winner up to 9f Mozu Gold Barrel. Dam 6f-1m winner. Newcomer for excellent yard. Sister to 2,000 Guineas winner Kameko; of obvious interest on paper.
7
9th (7) (200/1 -614%) Chelsea Flower
200
200/1(-614%)
(7) Chelsea Flower 200/1, 33/1, thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Newbury (10f, good to soft) on debut 48 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Jack Channon. Well beaten 33-1 shot in one run for Jack Channon; sold 3,500gns last month; hard to fancy.
10
10th (10) (400/1 -100%) Larenta
400
400/1(-100%)
(10) Larenta 400/1, Sixth of 7 in novice event at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 25/1) on debut 24 days ago. 25-1 when tailed off at Wolverhampton last month (1m4f).
9
11th (9) (300/1 -50%) Jalea's Quest
300
300/1(-50%)
(9) Jalea's Quest 300/1, 200/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Newmarket (10f, good) 34 days ago. Down the field in 1m2f starts this spring; handicaps more suitable after this.
1
12th (1) (400/1 -60%) Masonry
400
400/1(-60%)
(1) Masonry 400/1, 250/1, last of 16 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut 14 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. 250-1 when a remote last of 16 over 1m here two weeks ago.
19:15 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
600,000-pound purchase TEN DIMES will have learned a lot from her victory over a mile at Newcastle in April, setting her own fractions before going on to score cosily, and it would be no surprise if this No Nay Never filly, who holds a Ribblesdale entry, completes a double. Precious Jewel may emerge as the main danger to the selection dropping in trip after an impressive victory over 1m4f at Newmarket last month, while Upton, a sister to the top-class Kameko, is respected first time up.
TEN DIMES looked a useful filly in the making when outclassing her rivals at Newcastle in April and with this step up in trip not expected to be an issue, she can defy a penalty. Precious Jewel can also boast form figures of 21 and she's feared most unless there's serious confidence behind a newcomer, notably Daylight Chorus and Upton.
Some well-connected newcomers on show but PRECIOUS JEWEL and Ten Dimes are both promising winners who can fight this out.
(6) Wadacre Gomez 9/2, 3-time C&D winner. Five wins from 19 Flat runs. Latest win at Wolverhampton in February. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Chester (10.3f, good to firm, 28/1) 27 days ago. Has excellent record around here and remains on a decent mark. 3-4 over C&D; well drawn to attack and the return to this venue could see further progress.
1
2nd (1) (16/1 -33%) Lord Protector
16
16/1(-33%)
(1) Lord Protector 16/1, Had shown very little promise on his first 3 starts for this yard but bounced back to form when second of 10 in handicap (66/1) at Redcar (10f, soft) 10 days ago. First effort of note for new yard when 2nd at Redcar ten days ago; chance if backing it up.
2
3rd (2) (11/2 -22%) Stay Well
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(2) Stay Well 11/2, Thirteen runs since last win in 2021. 20/1, eleventh of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good) 33 days ago. Lightly raced on AW (raced only at Kempton) but has a good record. On losing run but sharper for his reappearance and ran well on last AW start one year ago.
5
4th (5) (2/1 +20%) Mighty Nebula
2
2/1(+20%)
(5) Mighty Nebula 2/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 2 runs this year. 9/2, third of 8 in novice event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 40 days ago, clear of rest. Makes handicap debut. Should have more to offer. Two good novice runs on AW in April; up in trip for handicap debut; has untapped potential.
4
5th (4) (100/1 -733%) Diamond Ranger
100
100/1(-733%)
(4) Diamond Ranger 100/1, Shaped better than the distance beaten suggests when fourth of 13 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (11f). Off 8 months. Sold from George Boughey 30,000 gns in October. Interesting on 2022 best; makes stable debut after 253 days off and without cheekpieces.
3
6th (3) (100/1 -2400%) Endless Power
100
100/1(-2400%)
(3) Endless Power 100/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 3 runs this year. Career best when winning 10-runner handicap (9/4) at Southwell (8.1f) 78 days ago, pushed out. Up in trip. Remains of interest. Unexposed and progressive on AW; trip should suit; solid claims up in class.

7th (7) (40/1 -233%) Zealot
40
40/1(-233%)
(7) Zealot 40/1, C&D winner. Initially prolific for these connections but well held all 4 starts this year after an absence. Prolific two winters back; quiet since returning from layoff; this easier but he's risky.
19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Roger Varian and Silvestre De Sousa are operating at a 24 percent strike-rate when teaming up this year, and MIGHTY NEBULA can provide them with another victory. He finished an excellent third under a penalty at Wolverhampton most recently and, stepping up in trip on his handicap debut, he looks the one to be with. The hat-trick seeking Endless Power can give the selection most to think about, while Lord Protector also enters calculations.
WADACRE GOMEZ has an excellent record around here so gets the nod off a tempting mark. Progressive 4-y-os Endless Power and Mighty Nebula are feared most.
Endless Power should go well in his hat-trick bid but this C&D seems to bring out the best in WADACRE GOMEZ.
(2) Another Thought 40/1, Novice winner over a year ago but well held all 3 starts in handicaps. Has failed by a long way to transfer her consistent novice form to handicaps.
6
1st (6) (7/4 +30%) Divine Breath
1.75
7/4(+30%)
(6) Divine Breath 7/4, Promising individual. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Wolverhampton in February. Not seen to best effect switched to turf when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 2/1) 20 days ago, not ideally placed. Expected to be bang there. Disappointing on turf last time but could well have more to offer back on AW.
3
2nd (3) (5/1 +9%) All Agleam
5
5/1(+9%)
(3) All Agleam 5/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. Winner at Lingfield in January. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Chester (6.1f, soft, 15/8) 12 days ago. Return to 7f will suit. Below par on turf (back from layoff) last month; has form figures of 2331 on AW.
7
3rd (7) (6/1 -20%) Havana Force
6
6/1(-20%)
(7) Havana Force 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/4 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, below form third of 9 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good to soft) 28 days ago. Quirky-looking maiden; consistent record (3222) on AW; place possibilities.
8
4th (8) (11/1 -38%) Night Of Desire
11
11/1(-38%)
(8) Night Of Desire 11/1, Thrice-raced winner. C&D winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner here in February. 11/4, seventh of 9 in handicap at Wetherby (7f, good to firm) 3 days ago. Disappointing on turf three days ago; won C&D maiden the time before; may rebound.
4
5th (4) (11/2 -57%) Milliterries
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(4) Milliterries 11/2, Promising sort. 11/4, excellent second of 8 in handicap at Redcar (8f, good) on return 17 days ago. Likely to progress further and needs considering. Good second at Redcar on handicap/seasonal debut; has steadily progressive RPRs.
9
6th (9) (33/1 -106%) L'experianza
33
33/1(-106%)
(9) L'experianza 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 18/1, sixth of 9 in handicap at Leicester (8.2f, good to soft) 10 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. The return to Chelmsford, combined with first-time headgear, may prompt progress.
1
7th (1) (66/1 -164%) Yasmina
66
66/1(-164%)
(1) Yasmina 66/1, Thrice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Freddie & Martyn Meade when third of 8 in novice event at Newcastle (8f, 5/1). Sold from George Boughey 8,000 gns in February. Makes handicap debut. Returns from another absence and makes debut for another new stable; market helpful.
5
8th (5) (150/1 -582%) Toxic
150
150/1(-582%)
(5) Toxic 150/1, Thrice-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Winner at Wolverhampton in March. 16/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good) 16 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Uphill task. Soundly beaten in both starts since Wolverhampton debut win; drops in trip.
20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Although unable to justify favouritism when runner-up on her reappearance over a mile at Redcar last month, MILLITERRIES lost little in defeat that day. This return to 7f should suit James Fanshawe's filly and compensation could await off only 2lb higher in the ratings. The biggest danger is All Agleam, who likely has more to come reverting to the all-weather, while it's too early to write off the lightly-raced Divine Breath.
DIVINE BREATH failed to meet expectations on her handicap debut at Newmarket but she had excuses and is well worth another chance with the return to 7f in her favour. Milliterries showed big improvement when runner-up on her handicap bow/return at Redcar and is the obvious threat, with All Agleam best of the others.
Redcar runner-up MILLITERRIES is taken to show further improvement and go one better. Divine Breath is second choice.
(6) Sergeants Legacy 3/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Improved when second of 13 on handicap debut at Kempton (7f, 15/2) 50 days ago, collared only late on having raced freely. Can give another good account. Form of Kempton effort has received a few boosts; major player up just 1lb.
1
1st (1) (12/1 -71%) Orbital
12
12/1(-71%)
(1) Orbital 12/1, Well-bred filly (from family of Inspiral) who hinted at ability in 3 quick runs last season. Took a small step forward sent handicapping over a longer trip when fifth of 7 at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 4/1) 40 days ago and may do better still with that under her belt. Back down in distance. Open to improvement back down in distance with reappearance under her belt.
3
2nd (3) (2/1 +43%) Never Mind Me
2
2/1(+43%)
(3) Never Mind Me 2/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 15/2, seventh of 12 in novice at Kempton (7f). Off 96 days. Has a useful pedigree so may do better on handicap debut. May do much better now handicapping on return from break; one to consider.
5
3rd (5) (11/2 -22%) Salaamaat
5.5
11/2(-22%)
(5) Salaamaat 11/2, Improved over 1f longer trip when second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 28/1) 68 days ago, though took plenty of stoking up and was never a threat to the winner. Form has been boosted since and big shout off same mark. Solid second upped to 7f at Wolverhampton when last seen ten weeks ago.
7
4th (7) (25/1 +24%) Nelson Rose
25
25/1(+24%)
(7) Nelson Rose 25/1, Modest maiden. 100/1, ninth of 11 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Reappearance defeat took her record to 0-9; others preferred.
4
5th (4) (5/1 +44%) Gultari
5
5/1(+44%)
(4) Gultari 5/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 25/1, sixth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f). Off 167 days. Makes handicap debut. Related to several winners for her connections; should improve now handicapping.
8
6th (8) (15/2 +25%) Garden View
7.5
15/2(+25%)
(8) Garden View 15/2, Very good second of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Chelmsford (7f) but below par switched to turf at Bath 3 weeks ago. Worth another chance back on AW. Solid second over C&D on most recent AW attempt; respectable chance.
2
7th (2) (22/1 +12%) Soveraine
22
22/1(+12%)
(2) Soveraine 22/1, Went close on debut last summer but little form since. Off 8 months/had breathing op. Makes polytrack debut. Totally failed to progress last term; had wind surgery over the winter.
10
8th (10) (20/1 -25%) Tea Leaf Ted
20
20/1(-25%)
(10) Tea Leaf Ted 20/1, Just denied at Kempton in January but well held there since. Ran well twice at Kempton in the winter; subsequent form is poor.
20:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SERGEANTS LEGACY proved far more competitive on his handicap debut when finishing a close-up second at Kempton in April. A 1lb rise in the ratings looks on the lenient side and compensation could await the son of Adaay. Salaamaat arrives on the back of a respectable runner-up effort at Wolverhampton and the Rae Guest-trained filly may put up most resistance to the selection, ahead of Orbital, who lurks on an attractive mark.
SALAAMAAT showed improved form stepped up to this trip when splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Wolverhampton in March so can go one better off the same mark. Sergeants Legacy made a positive start to life in handicaps when second at Kempton and rates the main threat ahead of Garden View, who's worth another chance back on AW.
In a tight-looking race, SERGEANTS LEGACY is the suggestion ahead of Gultari.

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.
