Emperor's Star rates highly after a couple of respectable performances and needs taking seriously. However, his costly Sandown defeat has taken a few subsequent knocks and he might be worth taking on with fellow Royal Lodge entrant ANNAFEL, who is from the family of a Dubai World Cup winner in Well Armed. The Gosdens' newcomer cost 220,000gns and is bred to be effective on synthetics so can make an immediate impact. Desert Rhapsody is another notable debutant.

A fair bit of potential on show and the market should reveal plenty but Charlie Appleby's EMPEROR'S STAR is worth siding with to bounce back from an odds-on reverse in the mud at Sandown and belatedly confirm the promise of his debut Newmarket second. Run Boy Run is feared most on the back of his own encouraging initial Newmarket second, although newcomers Annafel and Desert Rhapsody could have a say too.

Emperor's Star is greatly respected but NUKANAN is taken to build on the considerable promise of his Salisbury debut.

As those with previous experience need to improve, well-bred newcomers Dire La Verite, a brother to a middle-distance winner in France, and RAQEEBB, whose dam is an unraced sister to a French Group 3-winning miler, appeal most on paper. The latter is preferred as he debuts for a yard that has hit a sweet spot over the last fortnight. Lohengrin can progress upped in trip, and the same can be said for Velvet Crush.

VELVET CRUSH did very well to get a place considering she completely missed the break at Kempton on debut and, with significant improvement anticipated, she gets the nod over Raqeebb, who is the clear pick of the newcomers. Lohengrin also has potential.

It may be worth siding with the nicely bred debutant RAQEEBB whose stable won this with a newcomer last year.

15:25 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Brian Ellison fields a a couple with solid chances and while Ramiro has already enjoyed some success this campaign, the in-form NORTHERN SPIRIT could be the trainer's best hope. The three-year-old is two from six on the all-weather so far and, assuming he handles the switch to Polytrack, he has a lot going for him, despite creeping up the handicap. Zaman Jemil and Knebworth are also considered.

LULWORTH COVE is well treated and left the impression that a return to form may be imminent when sixth (met trouble) at Windsor a fortnight ago, so she's worth chancing despite a wide draw. Recent Wolverhampton winner Hello Me is an obvious danger and Northern Spirit merits respect.

It may be worth giving BEAR PROFIT another chance. He likes it here (record 1134) and has dropped 6lb lower than when last successful.

15:55 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Under Curfew was beaten just a neck into second at Chepstow last week and arrives 3lb well-in. The seven-year-old, who has been running consistently well of late, is likely to be competitive once again. Universal Grace (second) and Profitable Dawn (third) were closely matched here earlier in the month and command respect, but a chance is taken with LAERTES. He has joined Mick Appleby since his latest start, when making the frame at Wolverhampton, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him improve.

This looks wide open but LAERTES is taken to make a winning start for Mick Appleby having slipped in the weights and gain his breakthrough success, with Oisin Murphy in the saddle for the first time. Under Curfew is handily weighted and rates a big threat with recent Lingfield scorer Boom the Groom also highly respected along with C&D second Universal Grace.

The veteran BOOM THE GROOM can record career win number 12. He has the necessary early pace to make full use of the inside stall.

16:25 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

DAISY ROOTS backed up her classified efforts when placed in handicap company at Kempton last week and Adam West's filly is unexposed over this distance, having finished third on her only attempt at Brighton. Native Melody can be forgiven her latest run at Doncaster, when slipping on the home turn, and is better judged on her Lingfield success prior. Frankfreya was outpaced on his handicap bow at Wolverhampton, but the step up in trip is likely to aid his cause.

DAISY ROOTS has improved of late, opening her account at Ffos Las late last month prior to posting solid efforts in defeat at Brighton and Kempton. She is unexposed at this trip and looks the way to go with Oisin Murphy doing the steering. Next on the list is Twilight Jazz, who shouldn't be judged too harshly on her latest effort and was in good form prior to that. Native Melody is best of the rest.

Preference is for DAISY ROOTS (nap) who has won relatively recently and is due a 1lb rise for her near miss at Kempton eight days ago.

GLOBAL STYLE has been a model of consistency of late, going down by less than a length on both starts since tasting success at Brighton, and the eight-year-old is expected to get back to winning ways. Oscar Doodle has been knocking on the door at Newcastle and should be competitive at this level. El Royale was reported to have lost a shoe at Ayr last time and he is capable of bouncing back.

OSCAR DOODLE looks ready to strike again. Global Style has been knocking on the door at Brighton in recent weeks and is likely to emerge as the main danger ahead of Crazy Spin and El Royale.

This can go to CRAZY SPIN who may be able to boss things from the front. She has the form to go close at this level in any case.

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.
