(4) Starlust 1.62/1, Very green when fifth of 10 in minor event (10/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) on debut 16 days ago, though kept on well close home. Can take a step forward with that first experience behind him.

Out of the frame in three starts on turf; needs the switch to AW to make a big difference.

Nice pedigree and stable has a good record with 2yos first time; hood on; watch market.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

James Tate is well represented here, saddling both Lightning Point, who shaped well on soft ground at Doncaster first time out, and newcomer Skilled Master. For all that, better value may lie with STARLUST, who caught the eye in a hot race at Lingfield on his debut when forced to race wider than ideal. That experience won't be lost on the Zoustar colt and he can continue the yard's productive streak, with Mbappe another worthy of respect.

LIGHTNING POINT showed promise when third at Doncaster on his debut last month, a race won by Karl Burke's smart prospect Elite Status, so he can build on that to open his account. Melisende has made the frame on all 3 of her starts so far and could be the main danger in first-time cheekpieces, with Starlust completing the shortlist.

Preference is for LIGHTNING POINT who finished a promising third behind the exciiting Elite Status on his Doncaster debut.

(9) The Tron 7.5/1, Latest win at Southwell in February. Creditable third of 13 in handicap (7/1) there (5f) 9 days ago. Not discounted.

Tomshalfbrother

Won narrrowly at Yarmouth last time and well drawn, but a turning 5f may not be ideal.

Beaten a head by a subsequent winner last time, but up 4lb and drawn widest.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Tomshalfbrother and Munificent both bring Yarmouth-winning form into this race but preference is for LEVEL UP, who advertised his present well-being by only narrowly failing to get up at Windsor last time out. David Evans' gelding is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton in April and this return to an artificial surface is likely to be appreciated. Libertus also went close at Lingfield last time and should again make his present felt.

LEVEL UP can race off the same mark as when a good Windsor second last week so is taken to emerge on top at the chief expense of Sir Rodneyredblood, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green over C&D last time and is weighted to have a say. Libertus must also enter calculations in a competitive sprint.

Preference is for THE DEFIANT (nap) who ran really well from a long way out of the weights in warm handicaps on turf the last twice.

Paradise Row

4
4/1(+33%)
(11) Paradise Row 4/1, Twice-raced filly. 3/1, second of 5 in maiden at Redcar (8f, good to soft) 31 days ago, no match for winner. This stiffer test promises to suit and she's one to consider.
Ability in her first two starts and should be suited by longer trip; each-way claims.

Eloped

28/1(+44%)
(1) Eloped 28/1, Twice-raced filly. Tenth of 12 in maiden (50/1) at Chepstow (10f, good to firm) 20 days ago. Probably more one for handicaps in due course.
Well beaten in her first two starts; handicaps an option after this.

3rd (7) Third Batch (10/1 +0%)
Third Batch

10
10/1(+0%)
(7) Third Batch 10/1, Fair filly. Remains a maiden after 9 Flat runs. Hooded for 1st time cheekpieces on for 1st time, good third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW, 50/1) 10 days ago. Looks vulnerable.
Regularly in the frame, but now 0-9 and vulnerable to an improver.

4th (10) Oh So Grand (12/1 -50%)
Oh So Grand

12
12/1(-50%)
(10) Oh So Grand 12/1, Postponed filly. Half-sister to several winners, including very smart winner up to 1½m Hibaayeb and useful 1½m/12.4f winner Halifax. Dam 7f/1m winner. Likely-looking type and the market should be instructive.
Enough to like on pedigree and market support would be significant.

(5) Pourquoi 3.6/1, Promising sort. Hooded, second of 7 in minor event (16/1) at Windsor (10f, heavy) on debut 38 days ago, running on. Likely to improve with that experience to draw upon.
Beaten half a length on last month's Windsor debut; major player.

Market should be informative on debut.

Style Of Life

14/1(+13%)
(6) Style Of Life 14/1, Once-raced filly. Sixth of 10 in maiden at Brighton (7f, good to soft, 33/1) on sole 2-y-o start. Likely to benefit from this step up in trip and appeals as the type to make her mark in handicaps later on.
Held on last October's Brighton debut, but bred to do better; watch market.

(3) Huda Star 2/1, Promising type. Fourth of 7 in minor event (9/2) at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut 65 days ago, running on. May well do better and she's high on the shortlist.
Showed ability when fourth on Lingfield debut and form has worked out well; in the mix.

Unplaced all 11 starts and has an official mark of just 40; hood on.
LTO Selection:

14:40 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Pourquoi is likely to prove popular after going close over this trip at Windsor first time out. Similar comments apply to Huda Star, who shaped encouragingly when finishing fourth behind at couple of subsequent winners at Lingfield on her debut in April. For all that, preference is for PARADISE ROW, who has been crying out for this sort of trip on the evidence of two runs at Wolverhampton and Redcar.

Preference is for HUDA STAR, who shaped well on debut at Lingfield, despite looking green, and she will be more street-wise this time. Pourquoi also made a positive start to her career in a Windsor novice and is next on the list ahead of Paradise Row. Hill Filly and Style of Life should both do better in time and newcomer Oh So Grand needs a close look in the betting.

Huda Star and POURQUOI made their respective debuts in races won by the same horse. The latter finished the closer of the pair.

Dual AW winner but she needs to rediscover her spark back at this trip.
LTO Selection:

15:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MADAME FENELLA improved for the return to the all-weather when beaten a length into second at Kempton last week and, off the same mark here, she can go one better. Delagate The Lady has been poor since winning at Yarmouth in April, but she goes well at this venue and could easily bounce back. Kodias Sangarius has dropped to a handy figure, while Profit Given is surely better than she showed on her handicap debut at Kempton.

Only four runners and MADAME FENELLA looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to get back to winning ways on the back of her good Kempton second. Profit Given might be the danger.

Derek Shaw's MADAME FENELLA chased home a rival who made all at Kempton last week and has strong claims if she can repeat that form.

LTO Selection:

15:50 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Shockwaves was far too keen for his own good when upped to 1m4f at Kempton, and it was no surprise that he faded out of contention. He made all over this trip at Lingfield prior to that but could face competition for the lead from War In Heaven, which may set things up for RED MIRAGE. John Quinn's five-year-old didn't fire at Chester, but he ran well at the May meeting there before it and has a good all-weather record.

ARTHUR'S REALM hinted at a revival when fourth here last time and can bag a second C&D success off a 2 lb lower mark. Court of Session and War In Heaven appeal as the pick of the rest and can chase home Ed Dunlop's 5-y-o in that order.

The vote goes to COURT OF SESSION who is 2-2 over C&D. A couple of efforts since his latest win suggest he is still feasibly treated.

Close third over 1m5f here last time and respected off the same mark.
LTO Selection:

16:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

THEFASTNTHECURIOUS was denied by under a length last time over an extended 1m5f at this track, for which his mark is unchanged. The five-year-old attempts this distance for the first time, which could eke out the improvement needed to strike. The main threat is Home And Dry, who defied his huge odds last time at Kempton when running with great credit for fourth. Mukha Magic is another to note.

THEFASTNTHECURIOUS came in a good third here last time despite not having the race run to suit so is fancied to resume winning ways off the same mark. Last year's victor Mukha Magic could emerge as the main threat ahead of Deborah Faulkner's new recruit Home And Dry.

This can go to MUKHA MAGIC who may be able to boss this from the front as was the case when he won this race last year.

4/1(-45%)
(1) Long Tradition 4/1, Won novice here in 2021 before ending that season with a creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newbury (10f, heavy). Not seen since but he remains potentially well treated if retaining all ability after a 20-month absence. Hood on 1st time.

(12) One Step Beyond 6/1, Enjoyed a productive 2022 for Roger Ingram, winning 4 times and continued good work since the turn of the year, adding to his tally at Lingfield (10f) in February. Made winning start for new yard at Kempton (8f) 8 days ago, easily. Shortlist material.

(4) Sonnerie Power 7/1, Much improved when scoring over 12f at Lingfield in September and wasn't disgraced when fourth of 7 in handicap at Newmarket (12f, good, 3/1) 35 days ago. Drop in trip doesn't appeal as an obvious positive.
Won over 1m4f on Polytrack last autumn, but not sure the shorter trip will suit.

LTO Selection:

17:05 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

One Step Beyond made his first start for his new yard a winning one when scoring by three lengths at Kempton over a mile, and he looks to have leading claims once more as he steps back up in distance. However, SONNERIE POWER gets the vote. The son of Almanzor was denied by just over two lengths when fourth last time at Newmarket behind two subsequent winners. Long Tradition also makes some appeal.

ONE STEP BEYOND is thriving at present and could well have even more to offer for his new yard, so makes plenty of appeal bidding for the hat-trick. Idee Fixee is a consistent sort and can make the placings once again, whilst Long Tradition merits a market check after a lengthy absence.

The vote goes to STORM CATCHER who showed his liking for these conditions when rattling off a hat-trick over C&D during the winter.

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.
