Devil's Advocate

(1) Devil's Advocate , Shaped very well amidst greenness on debut when third of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, soft, 4/1) 3 weeks ago, the penny dropping late on. Leading contender with the potential of plenty more to offer upped in trip.
Newmarket effort and pedigree both suggest he'll relish this longer distance.

16:35 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

There was a lot to like about DEVIL'S ADVOCATE's debut performance, when finishing third over the mile at Newmarket three weeks ago. The Too Darn Hot colt, who fetched 350,000gns at the sales last year, looks certain to appreciate these extra two furlongs and with his yard coming into form, he can take a step forward. Kate O'riley is another who made a pleasing start to her racing career on the Rowley Mile and must enter calculations, while Navalanche should not be underestimated with Oisin Murphy aboard.

DEVIL'S ADVOCATE made a very promising debut when third in a Newmarket maiden last month, pulling well clear of the rest under hands-and-heels riding, so he looks to hold leading claims of getting off the mark. Rogue Diplomat also shaped encouragingly on his first start and could be the biggest threat, with Kate O'Riley the pick of the remainder.

Nothing can be comfortably dismissed but the two who appeal most are DEVIL'S ADVOCATE and Navalanche.

Early Morning Dew

3/1(+40%)
(1) Early Morning Dew 3/1, C&D winner who doubled his tally at Epsom in August. Not seen to best effect when sixth of 14 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 5 days ago, never nearer having been trapped wide. Can give another good account.
Largely good record in headgear; better than bare result in C&D event last Saturday.

(2) Switchel 7/2, Proved herself on all-weather when third of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Southwell (12.1f) 3 weeks ago. Has eased further in the weights and could be ready to take advantage back down in trip.
Has shown signs that she's capable of winning an ordinary handicap; possibilities.

Jenson Benson

10
10/1(+17%)
(8) Jenson Benson 10/1, Four-time course winner but 15 runs since last success in 2023. Wasn't in same form as previous outing when fourth of 7 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 15/2) 45 days ago, though needed stronger gallop. Back up in trip.
Suited by Chelmsford and 8lb below last winning mark; attractively treated back here.

Love Your Work

On last winning mark but hasn't scored on AW for well over two years.

River Alwen

25/1(+0%)
(14) River Alwen 25/1, One of season's better efforts when fifth of 12 in handicap (14/1) at this course (8f) a week ago, nearest finish. Task is now to build on his latest run back up in distance.
0-8 and inconsistent for current yard but ran encouragingly here last week.

(11) Cracking Filly 50/1, After 4 months off, fared no better from her falling mark when sixth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Southwell (8.1f) 9 days ago. Has work to do as she goes back up in distance.
Yet to make the frame; however, ran with some promise at Southwell last week.

(10) Majorelle Blue 66/1, After 6 months off ahead of first start since leaving Henry Spiller, seventh of 11 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good, 14/1) in July. Absent a further 3 months as she goes significantly up in trip.
Best effort over 6f; doubtful stayer on breeding upped to 1m2f.
13

Commander Crouch

28
28/1(+15%)
(13) Commander Crouch 28/1, Fourteen runs since sole success in 2023. Failed to build on promise of previous run when last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Kempton (8f) 27 days ago. Now tried in visor returned to this longer trip.
Chance partly depends on how well he responds to new headgear.

10th (9) Myna (4/1 +67%)
Myna

4/1(+67%)
(9) Myna 4/1, Ran well when second at Newbury in July, but below-par effort on soft ground when fifth of 8 in handicap (7/2) at Brighton (9.9f) 38 days ago. No surprise to see him bounce back with hood on 1st time.
3yo maiden; went too freely last time; first win is possible with hood now fitted.

Oriental Art

(7) Oriental Art 22/1, One win from 30 Flat runs. Placed 3 times this season, before run of good form halted when seventh of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (14.1f, good, 5/1) 71 days ago. Not written off, though, from his current mark.
Record is only 1-30 but gained the win off this mark; competitively handicapped.
12

Sun Festival

(12) Sun Festival 33/1, C&D winner. Failed to come for reappearance when sixth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Brighton (9.9f, soft) 38 days ago, though unproven on the ground. Only 1 lb above last winning mark returned to all-weather.
Consistent in 2023; form has dipped sharply in two runs this term.

Two wins on turf in May; generally not in the same form since but mark is workable.

Angel Mac

66

(6) Angel Mac 66/1, Hasn't yet built on her debut third at Yarmouth, still green when eighth of 12 in maiden (40/1) at this course (7f) 2 weeks ago. However, she's one to note as she goes up in trip for handicap debut.
Some late headway here on latest 7f start; open to improvement on handicap debut.

17:10 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

After a couple of below-par efforts on the turf, it was much more like it from SWITCHEL over 1m4f at Southwell three weeks ago. The daughter of Golden Horn only weakened into third late on that day, suggesting a drop in trip could suit. Champion jockey-elect Oisin Murphy gets aboard for the first time, and any improvement could see the filly make it 11th time lucky. All four of Jenson Benson's career victories have come around here and he's appealing from a workable mark, while Angel Mac might step forward now pitched into handicaps for the first time.

Having dropped to a handy mark, SWITCHEL ran well on her first all-weather start of the year when third at Southwell 3 weeks ago and she can build on that effort to open her account. Gone Rogue arrives in good heart and is feared most as he goes up in trip, with Myna completing the shortlist.

With his recent Musselburgh form having some substance, GONE ROGUE may be the answer. Myna is second choice.

0-7 on turf; 3-5 on AW and may still have more to offer in this sphere; interesting.

17:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Just a short head separated H KEY LAILS (second) and Bold Suitor (winner) over C&D last month. The latter is actually better off at the weights with Kaiya Fraser only claiming 3lb on this occasion, but stall one could be vital for Michael Attwater's charge and he is taken to reverse the form. Charlatan was knocking on the door when last seen in July. He is three from five on the all-weather and can be expected to mount another bold bid.

H KEY LAILS and Bold Suitor were closely matched over C&D 4 weeks ago and may dominate this, with preference for the former. The latter has shaped well here since that contest and Carvalhal looks of interest dropping in grade with Oisin Murphy booked.

Bold Suitor and H Key Lails are tightly matched. CHARLATAN, Carvalhal and High Court Judge are interesting.

18:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Bear To Dream, Wrath Of Hector and Yoshimi have all won off higher marks and command respect in a race of this nature. However, PROFITMAN, a C&D winner off 4lb lower in April, is open to more progression than many and, having gone down by just a neck when second in a similar race back here last month, the Ben Brookhouse-trained three-year-old rates the most appealing option on these terms.

PROFITMAN arrives on the back of a good second over C&D and this isn't a strong affair, so he's fancied to go one better for all that Wrath of Hector and Stella Hogan also arrive in reasonable form.

With strong claims kept to this C&D, PROFITMAN (nap) is preferred. Stella Hogan is second choice.

18:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

This appears to be at the mercy of LOCAL MUSIC, who is 4lb well-in under a penalty after a comfortable C&D success last week. The daughter of U S Navy Flag has taken a shine to this venue and, assuming the quick turnaround doesn't catch her out, a third course triumph should be within her reach. Fellow penalised runner Wilde And Dandy and dual track-and-trip winner Twitch rate the most appealing alternatives, although Bell Shot could also go close.

HOW IMPRESSIVE isn't the most straightforward but he's well treated and benefited from a return to polytrack when second here last time, so he gets the narrow vote over last-time-out winner Local Music, who is certainly going the right way. Bell Shot is another one to consider.

How Impressive and Wilde And Dandy are players but LOCAL MUSIC has a cracking chance if she's in the same form as last week.

Never-nearer third at Southwell, following 12 weeks off, gives renewed hope.

19:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

SIMIYANN was impressive when scoring by six lengths at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and is very hard to ignore, even with a 5lb penalty imposed. He appears to have found an extra gear now he has adapted to racing in a visor and is a strong fancy to give weight and a beating to his rivals. Smokey Malone is effective over track and trip so also warrants serious thought. Drouthy Neebor, a potential improver over this distance, is a must for a betting check.

SIMIYANN capitalised on a career-low mark when shedding the maiden tag in facile fashion at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and a 5 lb penalty shouldn't prevent him following up. Drouthy Neebor shapes as though worth a crack at this sort of trip and along with Smokey Malone, can provide chief resistance.

Simiyann made his breakthrough in no little style ten days ago but SMOKEY MALONE's strong finish at Southwell was encouraging.

19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

More positive tactics saw triple Chelmsford scorer Crimson Sand regain the winning thread over C&D on Saturday and another bold attempt is forecast. However, a 5lb penalty may be enough to catch the six-year-old out and preference is for the lightly-raced LION'S HOUSE. Roger Varian's gelding offered plenty to work with when sixth on his reappearance at Wolverhampton earlier this month and improvement looks forthcoming. Cajetan is also noted reverting to 6f on the all-weather.

There was more promise from DORNEY LAKE at York last time and he might prove the answer to this quite useful handicap. Fellow 3-y-os Lion's House and Cajetan likely have their best days ahead of them, while last weekend's C&D winner Crimson Sand is also respected under a penalty.

Several runners are interesting. First choice is DORNEY LAKE, ahead of Change For Good and Lion's House.

20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

SMOOTH SILESIE lost little in defeat when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time out and she can continue her progression. Lisa Williamson's filly is only 1lb higher in the ratings and compensation could be on the cards. The reapplication of a visor should see an improved bid from Merrimack and he may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Cabeza De Llave.

DARK SIDE PRINCE has dropped back to the mark he defied here in May and might prove the answer to this concluding sprint. Pop Dancer is on a good mark and is second choice ahead of Smooth Silesie, who has stood up really well to a busy campaign.

The four C&D winners have possibilities. IDLE ASSEMBLY and Merrimack are interesting alternatives.

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.
