4.5/1(+0%)
(5) Al Azhar 4.5/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. Creditable third of 8 in handicap at Bath (14f, firm, 9/2) 15 days ago. Can give a good account back on all-weather.
Won on Wolverhampton Tapeta (1m6f) in July and close third at Bath (1m6f) on latest outing.

(2) Warning Sign 3.5/1, Close second at Newbury on penultimate outing and confirmed return to form when third of 11 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good) 24 days ago. Respected.
Placed under David Dunsdon last two starts; new trip; always behind on sole AW start (May).

7.5/1(-50%)
(7) My Chiquita 7.5/1, Latest win at Leicester in June. Good second of 8 in handicap at Bath (14f, firm, 16/1) 15 days ago, conceding first run. Has to be taken seriously.
Not proven on AW; has more to offer at this trip and looks a contender on latest turf form.

(4) Smart Champion 12/1, Seemingly going through the motions at present, coming no closer to notching his first win of the year when third of 5 in handicap at Thirsk (16.1f, good to soft) 20 days ago. Needs a revival.
Much less of an impact this year; needs an upturn but has the help of a career-low mark.

10/3(+26%)
(3) Warhol 10/3, Winner at Windsor in April. Shaped as if still in form when sixth of 11 in handicap at Epsom (12f, good, 6/1) 24 days ago. Walker retaining ride rates as a positive but others perhaps appeal as more likely winners.
Solid season until lesser show in amateur race at Epsom last time; well beaten sole AW run.

6th (6) Spit Spot (7/1 +0%)
Spit Spot

7
7/1(+0%)
(6) Spit Spot 7/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in May. Yet to build on that success, though got back on track when sixth of 11 in handicap at Redcar (14f, good to firm, 9/1) 26 days ago.
Two wins and a second from four races at Chelmsford; could shrug off lesser efforts since.

7th (1) Mukha Magic (4/1 +0%)
Mukha Magic

4/1(+0%)
(1) Mukha Magic 4/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in June. 16/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 15 days ago. Player again.
Won from the front on the last three of his four visits to Chelmsford; major player.
LTO Selection:

17:24 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

MUKHA MAGIC was only narrowly denied when second over 2m at Lingfield a couple of weeks ago and the seven-year-old can go one better here off just a 1lb higher mark. My Chiquita also hit the crossbar on her most recent outing and could prove to be the biggest threat to the selection. Al Azhar and Warning Sign look to be the pick of the remainder.

A trappy staying contest in which MY CHIQUITA is fancied to build on an encouraging first attempt at this trip when second at Bath and come out on top. Mukha Magic, Al Azhar and Warning Sign are all in good heart and remain on fair marks, so are also highly respected in a contest where little separates the principals on paper.

Another very bold show should be on its way from MUKHA MAGIC who is 3-4 at Chelmsford and also ran well at Lingfield last time out.

(1) Alpen Power 5/4, Lightly-raced colt who found improvement when very good third of 6 in nursery at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago. Enters calculations on polytrack debut.

Little in his two turf runs over 6f to think he would be troubling the principals here.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Alpen Power sets the standard based on his third in a Newcastle nursery last time but a chance can be taken with GREEN SIGMA. The daughter of Havana Gold is closely related to plenty of two-year-old winners, including the Listed-placed Umneyati, and it would be no surprise to see her make a successful start to her career. Stablemate Better is another noteworthy newcomer, while Just Rita and Belle Flora complete the shortlist.

Preference is for JUST RITA, who should have learnt plenty from last month's Lingfield debut and will appreciate this longer trip. Alpen Power and Belle Flora look the likeliest dangers.

Alpen Power sets the standard but Just Rita is a likely improver and GREEN SIGMA is a newcomer of some interest.

(1) Monaadhil 9/4, Improved on recent efforts to win 12-runner C&D handicap (5/1) 7 days ago, well on top finish. That was his fourth C&D success and he's a big player under a penalty.
Record in C&D Class 6 affairs stands at 21331132521, comfortably obliging last Thursday.

No win after 17 starts; thereabouts on four of his six this term but less convincing on AW.

12-race maiden; not proven over this far and looks opposable on balance; new headgear.

13-race maiden; first headgear.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MONAADHIL returned to winning ways over C&D a week ago and a 4lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop him from following up. Daisy Roots has made the frame in each of her three starts since going in at Ffos Las in July and she is likely to be in the mix once again. Kodi Noir edges out Hold The Press to be best of the rest.

MONAADHIL seemingly had plenty left in the tank when notching his fourth C&D success last week and will take plenty of stopping under a penalty if in a similar mood. Daisy Roots is holding her form well and she is likely to be in the mix once again, while recent all-the-way Lingfield winner Hold The Press is also shortlisted. Brilliant Blue and Lynwood Lad are other plausible candidates.

The topweight MONAADHIL (nap) has an exemplary C&D record in this grade and can follow up last Thursday's win.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

EHRAZ ran an excellent race in defeat to finish a close-up third in a valuable handicap at York last month. Richard Hannon's four-year-old kept on well from the back of the field and the return to 7f might just yield the necessary improvement. War In Heaven and Aljari both arrive in tremendous form and enter the reckoning once again. Kinta was runner-up to Lezoo in the Princess Margaret at Ascot last season and she could be very interesting on her return.

EHRAZ is the class act in this field and shaped better than the bare result when third in a more competitive event at York last time, so he makes plenty of appeal on his first try on polytrack. War In Heaven is a big threat in his hat-trick bid and a big run from Aljari would come as no surprise.

Richard Hannon's EHRAZ shaped very well when third in a big-field sprint at York's Ebor meeting and is given a chance to build on that.

Proven stamina; showed he's effective at the other two Polytrack courses last two outings.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 14f Race Class Flow

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

ANTICIPATING shaped well on her handicap debut at Windsor, taking a decent step forward on what she had achieved prior to that display, and the step up in trip on this occasion is likely to see her progress further. Greek Giant could have more to offer on his first attempt at 1m6f following a string of consistent efforts, while Bodygroove has thrived for longer distances and has to enter calculations too.

BODYGROOVE has shown improved form upped in trip, shaping better than the result when third at Lingfield last time, so he is taken to score again in his current mood. Greek Giant should be suited by the return to polytrack and is feared most, while Anticipating is open to further progress over this longer distance.

Tricky. Preference is for BODYGROOVE who should go well judged on his performances at 1m6f/2m in handicaps at other AW tracks.

12-race maiden but has run well, including over C&D; behind Boom The Groom here last month.

(1) Mick's Spirit 11/4, 9/1, creditable third of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 24 days ago. Well treated and firm step back in the right direction last time, so obvious appeal in a thin race.
Never won away from Lingfield but effective elsewhere & 2lb drop for latest 3rd looks kind.

(2) Boom The Groom 5/1, Won 10-runner handicap (5/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, always holding on. Looks competitive on form.
Chasing hat-trick after front-running wins at Lingfield (turf) and over C&D; respected.

(8) Mma Ramotswe 22/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 14/1) 22 days ago. Plenty to prove.
Lightly raced 3yo; well held on h'cap debut but still has time on her side; down in trip.

Mehmo

5/2(+17%)
(7) Mehmo 5/2, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. Latest win at Beverley in July. Respectable fourth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 9/1) 24 days ago. Should be on the premises again.
5f turf winner in July; has run well over C&D in the past; not discounted.

(5) Talamanca 10/1, Blinkered for 1st time, seventh of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Visor on 1st time.
Three 6f wins last season; below par latest but change of headgear can help; drops in trip.

5/1(+44%)
(6) Navy Drums 5/1, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in March. Sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 15/8). Off 131 days. Worth a market check back from a break.
Did well over 6f early in the year; fair mark but 5f a concern back from four-month break.
LTO Selection:

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

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

While there is good reason to suggest Mehmo can reverse recent form with Mick's Spirit and Dalby Forest on these terms, it is NAVY DRUMS who catches the eye. Well supported in a deeper race last time, dropping back in both class and trip could prompt a revival from the Jack Jones-trained gelding. Hat-trick chasing veteran Boom The Groom is up another 4lb, yet still commands respect.

MICK'S SPIRIT is on a winning mark and looked back in form at Southwell last time, so he's worth a chance to get back to winning ways. Veteran Boom The Groom arrives on a hat-trick and is an obvious danger, while another solid show from Mehmo is likely.

His recent third at Southwell should have blown away any cobwebs and MICK'S SPIRIT is taken to gain his first win away from Lingfield.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A winner off 6lb lower at Brighton on her penultimate start, CRYPTOS DREAM is still potentially well handicapped based on ratings achieved during her time in Ireland. This is a similar level to what she faced under a penalty at Ripon last time, but with several struggling to find form, she could well bounce back. El Royale, runner-up over 1m here last week, is 2lb well-in and feared most, with Two Plus Two rated a contender back down in trip.

CRYPTOS DREAM didn't enjoy the rub of the green when seventh at Ripon last time and looks the way to go here off a handy-looking mark. El Royale and Young Winston both arrive in good nick and can chase home Jack Jones's filly in that order.

Lightning Spark still has time to do better but EGOISTE showed enough on AW earlier in the year to think he could win a race.

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.
