(11) Spectacular View 16/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in novice at Leicester (7f, good to firm, 7/2) on debut 81 days ago. Gelded since last start and should have more to offer. 270,000gns foal; been gelded and it will be interesting to see how he goes in the market.
4
2nd (4) (8/11 +64%) Fifth Column
0.727273
8/11(+64%)
(4) Fifth Column 8/11, Promising individual who found further improvement when second of 13 in novice at Kempton (7f) 41 days ago, clear of rest. Looks the one to beat. Forward step when a clear second at Kempton last time; about sets the standard on that.
5
3rd (5) (22/1 -120%) Fort Campbell
22
22/1(-120%)
(5) Fort Campbell 22/1, Once-raced maiden. Fifth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 25/1) on debut 24 days ago. Open to improvement. Clueless early on his Wolverhampton debut; will have learned from that; each-way claims.
13
4th (13) (12/1 -60%) Wild Clary
12
12/1(-60%)
(13) Wild Clary 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 6/4, fourth of 5 in nursery at Nottingham (6.1f, good) 72 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Blinkers on 1st time. Not out of things. Exposed now; needs to settle better back up in trip after a break in first-time blinkers.
3
5th (3) (9/2 -13%) Cy Twombly
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(3) Cy Twombly 9/2, Shaped encouragingly when fourth of 14 in novice (25/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 22 days ago, nearest finish. Should be more to come yet. 205,000gns yearling who shaped nicely on debut; is entitled to improve and shortlisted.
7
6th (7) (5/1 +17%) Peter The Wolf
5
5/1(+17%)
(7) Peter The Wolf 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 14 in minor event (28/1) at York (7f, soft) 20 days ago. Warrants respect on polytrack debut. Vulnerable to improvers but there's no obvious reason he won't give his running again.
12
7th (12) (9/1 -50%) War Hawk
9
9/1(-50%)
(12) War Hawk 9/1, Promising type. Third of 9 in novice (14/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 16 days ago, not knocked about. Should progress and must enter calculations. 180,000gns yearling who turned in a pleasing debut after running green; player.
9
8th (9) (200/1 -100%) Riyadh Gem
200
200/1(-100%)
(9) Riyadh Gem 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in novice (66/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago, not knocked about. Likely one for handicaps down the line. Bettered his debut run last time but he'll probably find life easier once handicapping.
8
9th (8) (200/1 -100%) Requiem
200
200/1(-100%)
(8) Requiem 200/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, last of 11 in novice at Southwell (7.1f) 10 days ago. Likely a longer-term prospect. Likely one for handicaps, having finished well held in two runs to date (100-1 each time).
2
10th (2) (250/1 -150%) Currahee
250
250/1(-150%)
(2) Currahee 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in novice at this C&D (150/1) 19 days ago. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Big prices/well held in two C&D runs this autumn; low-grade handicaps are probably next.
1
11th (1) (400/1 -300%) All Cost
400
400/1(-300%)
(1) All Cost 400/1, Twice-raced maiden. 300/1 and hooded for 1st time, tenth of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 16 days ago. Best watched. Three-figure prices for two turf runs this month (well beaten each time); expect similar.
16:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
An eyecatcher when keeping on well to snatch fourth from off the pace at Kempton earlier in the month, CY TWOMBLY is likely to improve plenty for that effort and he can get off the mark from a good draw. Runner-up at Kempton last month, Fifth Column must enter calculations, along with War Hawk, a stablemate of the selection who ran a race full of promise when third on debut at Newcastle.
FIFTH COLUMN is going the right way and can get off the mark in the opener. Cy Twombly and War Hawk head the list of dangers.
The Crisford pair, Cy Twombly and War Hawk, both shaped nicely on debut, but FIFTH COLUMN sets a fair standard.
(5) Letmelivemylife 9/1, 3-time C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 22/1) 17 days ago. Claims on old form. Well below his best recently and looks in need of more help from the handicapper..
10
1st (10) (6/4 +70%) Nammos
1.5
6/4(+70%)
(10) Nammos 6/4, Returned to winning ways here in August and ran as least as well when second of 12 in handicap over C&D (7/2) 28 days ago. Likely contender. C&D winner who was close to that level of form when second back here latest; thereabouts..
11
2nd (11) (10/1 +17%) Miss Sunset Strip
10
10/1(+17%)
(11) Miss Sunset Strip 10/1, Lightly-raced winner. C&D winner. Winner here in April. Seventh of 9 in handicap (12/1) at Yarmouth (8f, soft). Off 140 days. Others have achieved more. C&D winner; below par (1m, soft) when last seen on turf; open to improvement back here..
2
3rd (2) (13/2 +19%) Airshow
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(2) Airshow 13/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Salisbury in August. 10/1, creditable third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 14 days ago. Merits consideration. Largely competitive since his C&D win when 2lb lower in March; player..
7
4th (7) (25/1 -178%) Capuchinero
25
25/1(-178%)
(7) Capuchinero 25/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in July. Fourth of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 52 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Had wind operation. Others more persuasive. C&D winner; had wind surgery since finishing fourth at Wolverhampton; not ruled out..
3
5th (3) (14/1 -17%) Enpassant
14
14/1(-17%)
(3) Enpassant 14/1, Winner at Leicester in June. 16/1 and tongue strap on for 1st time, first run since leaving James Fanshawe when below form sixth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 33 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. 7f turf winner; has ability to get involved if shrugging off a lesser effort here (6f)..
1
6th (1) (10/1 -11%) Whenthedealinsdone
10
10/1(-11%)
(1) Whenthedealinsdone 10/1, Twenty runs since last win in 2022. 12/1, tenth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft) 27 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Well beaten in an amateurs' contest latest but he's well treated on his spring AW form..
4
7th (4) (16/1 +0%) Touchwood
16
16/1(+0%)
(4) Touchwood 16/1, 12/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 38 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Placed over C&D; below par last two starts and now back on a handy mark; revival possible..
6
8th (6) (10/3 +0%) Epic Express
3.333333
10/3(+0%)
(6) Epic Express 10/3, Bounced back to form (had wind operation since last run) when taking 11-runner handicap at this course (6f, 9/1) 28 days ago. 3 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist. 1m winner who scored over 6f here latest; up 3lb but he's a big player again..
9
9th (9) (10/1 -82%) Abolish
10
10/1(-82%)
(9) Abolish 10/1, Back on track when narrow second of 8 in handicap (17/2) at Windsor (6f, good) 45 days ago. Races off same mark here and merits consideration. Just denied at Windsor (6f) in September; player if he can reproduce that level of form..
8
10th (8) (50/1 -52%) Blue Yonder
50
50/1(-52%)
(8) Blue Yonder 50/1, Latest win at Newbury in June. Last of 11 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, heavy, 150/1) 17 days ago. Hard to recommend. Best form all at 1m2f; well below par since winning at Newbury in June; others preferred..
17:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Now that EPIC EXPRESS has regained the winning thread with a taking performance here last time out, the six-year-old can follow up on the rise in distance for a seventh career success. Narrowly denied at Windsor, Abolish is capable of being in the shake-up, along with Airshow and C&D winner Nammos, who has been a revelation since rejoining the Jane Chapple-Hyam team.
Preference is for NAMMOS. who has got back on track since rejoining Jane Chapple-Hyam and remains feasibly treated. Epic Express and Abolish rate the principal dangers.
An open contest but EPIC EXPRESS appeared to have benefited from wind surgery here (6f) last time and is taken to follow up.
(6) Fiorella Princess 7/2, Promising type. 8/1, second of 9 in maiden at Doncaster (5f, firm) on debut, staying on well. Off 166 days. Looks the one to beat. Doncaster second in May is one of the best pieces of form in this but absent since.
10
2nd (10) (8/1 +43%) Sunlit Uplands
8
8/1(+43%)
(10) Sunlit Uplands 8/1, Foaled April 26. 8,000 gns foal, 16,000 gns yearling, Sands of Mali filly. Half-sister to 1¼m-11.4f winner Richard P Smith and 7f-8.5f winner Baignade. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1m Ershaad. Makes some appeal on paper. 16,000gns yearling; late foal; needs a close look as none of the form in this is daunting.
3
3rd (3) (11/1 -47%) On Key
11
11/1(-47%)
(3) On Key 11/1, Twice-raced colt. 5/4, sixth of 7 in maiden at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Bred to be better than he's shown and promising start is worth keeping in mind. Close relation to top-class sprinter Shaquille; Redcar 2nd (6f); disappointing at Hamilton.
8
4th (8) (11/4 +61%) One For Harvey
2.75
11/4(+61%)
(8) One For Harvey 11/4, Thrice-raced filly. 20/1, third of 14 in maiden at this C&D 21 days ago, ridden too aggressively. May yet do better. C&D third (front rank long way) three weeks ago makes her a leading player.
4
5th (4) (18/1 +28%) Rage Of Thunder
18
18/1(+28%)
(4) Rage Of Thunder 18/1, Thrice-raced gelding. 28/1, last of 7 in maiden at Sandown (5f, good) 84 days ago. Debut showed ability but down the field both starts since; gelded and absent 12 weeks.
1
6th (1) (9/1 -38%) Baylando
9
9/1(-38%)
(1) Baylando 9/1, 33/1, much improved from debut when third of 10 in maiden at Leicester (7f, good) 138 days ago, headed final 100 yds. Can feature if he's tuned up after some time off. Well held at York but vastly better when third at Leicester (7f, good to soft) in June.
7
7th (7) (9/2 +25%) Lady Modena
4.5
9/2(+25%)
(7) Lady Modena 9/2, Once-raced filly. 22/1, fourth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 26 days ago. Likely to improve and can't be ruled out. Some have better form but fourth of 11 at Southwell (6f, AW) was an encouraging start.
2
8th (2) (20/1 -11%) Bust A Moon
20
20/1(-11%)
(2) Bust A Moon 20/1, Twice-raced gelding. 11/2, sixth of 7 in novice at Bath (5f, heavy) 21 days ago. Others more persuasive. Hooded when showing modest form over C&D and at Bath (5f, heavy).
9
9th (9) (100/1 -52%) Sugar Kane
100
100/1(-52%)
(9) Sugar Kane 100/1, Once-raced filly. 14/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Southwell (6.1f) on debut 26 days ago. 14-1, quickly away at Southwell (6f, AW) but beaten nearly 20l.
5
10th (5) (40/1 +0%) The Kamikaze King
40
40/1(+0%)
(5) The Kamikaze King 40/1, Twice-raced colt. 22/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Wolverhampton debut form (7f, AW) looked better than his Brighton 1m performance.
11
11th (11) (11/1 -22%) Syzygy
11
11/1(-22%)
(11) Syzygy 11/1, Foaled May 19. Cable Bay filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including US Grade 2 8.5f winner Bodhicitta and 2-y-o 5f winner Littledidyouknow, later 1m winner in Italy. Interesting newcomer. Half-sister to 3 winners including Bodhicitta (US 1m/8.5f turf including Grade 2; RPR 106).
17:30 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
A promising runner-up on her introduction over 5f at Doncaster back in May, FIORELLA PRINCESS shaped on that occasion as though she would suited by going up in trip. Amy Murphy's filly gets the vote ahead of Leicester third Baylando and On Key, who has strong claims on his debut effort at Redcar. Lady Modena and One For Harvey are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
FIORELLA PRINCESS sets the standard with her second at Doncaster 5 months ago and there's more to come, so she's preferred to Lady Modena, who could also step forward from her debut. Syzygy is a notable newcomer on paper.
The standard set by those who have run is not high. ONE FOR HARVEY, Fiorella Princess and Baylando head that group.
(3) My Mate Kev 5/2, Once-raced gelding. 150/1, fifth of 7 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, soft) on debut 16 days ago. Improvement required. 150-1, prominent long way when fifth of seven in novice at Yarmouth (6f, soft) 16 days ago.
6
3rd (6) (15/8 +100%) Little She
1.875
15/8(+100%)
(6) Little She 15/8, Promising type who posted fair fourth of 10 in novice at Kempton (6f, 100/1) on debut 20 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Likely improver and holds strong claims. 100-1 for Kempton novice (6f, AW) three weeks ago but looked promising from off the pace.
1
4th (1) (10/1 +0%) Al Baarez
10
10/1(+0%)
(1) Al Baarez 10/1, Foaled February 16. €45,000 foal, £11,000 2-y-o, Kodiac colt. Closely related to 2-y-o 7f winner Please Be True and half-brother to winner up to 1m Miss Jabeam and 1m winner Port Ellen. Dam unraced. Market check advised on debut. £11,000 breeze-up 2yo; close relation to French 7f 2yo winner, half-brother to two winners.
9
5th (9) (40/1 +20%) Rovinia
40
40/1(+20%)
(9) Rovinia 40/1, Once-raced filly. 150/1, eighth of 14 in maiden at this C&D on debut 21 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Others more appealing. 150-1, never dangerous in C&D maiden; should improve but needs a transformation.
2
6th (2) (50/1 -100%) Lucky Escape
50
50/1(-100%)
(2) Lucky Escape 50/1, Foaled March 27. 9,500 gns yearling, Dandy Man gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 7f winner True Valour. 9,500gns yearling by Dandy Man; gelded; trainer has few 2yo winners.
5
7th (5) (22/1 +33%) Squires Treaty
22
22/1(+33%)
(5) Squires Treaty 22/1, Once-raced gelding. 125/1, eighth of 12 in novice at this course (7f) on debut 19 days ago, slowly away. Others preferred. Showed something in novice here (7f; 125-1) 19 days ago but needs a great deal better.
10
8th (10) (14/1 -40%) Swizzle
14
14/1(-40%)
(10) Swizzle 14/1, Foaled March 24. Land Force filly. Half-sister to 5f-6f winner Friendly Advice and 5f winner Fashion Advice. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1m Sound Advice. Interesting newcomer. With speedy pedigree, she needs a market check.
7
9th (7) (150/1 -50%) Miss Sovereign
150
150/1(-50%)
(7) Miss Sovereign 150/1, Once-raced filly. Last of 14 in maiden at this C&D (150/1) on debut 21 days ago. Work to do. 150-1, slow-starting last of 14 in C&D maiden three weeks ago.
4
10th (4) (200/1 -100%) Skip Happens
200
200/1(-100%)
(4) Skip Happens 200/1, Twice-raced gelding. 250/1, last of 11 in maiden at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 23 days ago. Down in trip. Best watched. Tailed off when 125-1 at Sandown (5f, soft) and 250-1 at Brighton (1m, good to soft).
18:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LITTLE SHE overcame a tardy start to finish a promising fourth at Kempton on debut. The winner is now rated 85, so this looks an easier assignment, and Marcus Tregoning's filly appeals as one to keep on the right side of. My Mate Kev ran well for a long way before fading in the closing stages at Yarmouth and is another likely improver. Al Baarez is a newcomer to note.
LITTLE SHE should have learnt plenty from her encouraging Kempton debut and can get off the mark. Oasis Sunrise looks the likeliest danger on form, whilst Swizzle may be the pick of the newcomers.
Oasis Sunrise (also declared at Bath) and the promising LITTLE SHE have fair form and the rest have shown comparatively little.
(10) Apple's Angel 16/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Ninth of 13 in novice (150/1) at Windsor (6f, heavy) 17 days ago. Up against it on handicap debut. Makes handicap debut and she did show some ability on second start; unexposed.
6
2nd (6) (16/1 -60%) Dark Sorceress
16
16/1(-60%)
(6) Dark Sorceress 16/1, 40/1, respectable sixth of 11 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 17 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Small-field nursery 2nd in August; opposable judged on Kempton AW nurseries last two runs.
3
3rd (3) (13/2 +28%) Aim For The Bull
6.5
13/2(+28%)
(3) Aim For The Bull 13/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in novice (200/1) at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago, doing too much too soon. Improvement required on handicap debut. Easily closest finish was debut, last of five; more realistic task on this handicap debut.
7
4th (7) (28/1 -180%) Fly Liberty Fly
28
28/1(-180%)
(7) Fly Liberty Fly 28/1, Posted her best effort in nurseries when fifth of 8 at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 40 days ago. 2 lb lower now and merits consideration. No serious impact in her three nurseries; steps back up from 5f.
11
5th (11) (12/1 0%) She's A Dark Horse
12
12/1(0%)
(11) She's A Dark Horse 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable fifth of 9 in nursery (25/1) at this C&D 33 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Outsider when fifth of eight and fifth of nine in her two 6f nurseries, here on latest.
2
6th (2) (9/5 +60%) Secret Mission
1.8
9/5(+60%)
(2) Secret Mission 9/5, Thrice-raced maiden. 33/1, tenth of 14 in novice at Kempton (7f) 22 days ago. Work to do on handicap debut. Made most and showed much more than his last two results suggests; handicap debutant.
5
7th (5) (11/1 -144%) Prada On Parole
11
11/1(-144%)
(5) Prada On Parole 11/1, Returned to form when creditable third of 9 in nursery over C&D 33 days ago, nearest finish. Shortlist material. Eight-race maiden but has shown she can be competitive in 6f nurseries, including over C&D.
12
8th (12) (25/1 -108%) Master Zack
25
25/1(-108%)
(12) Master Zack 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fourth of 5 in nursery at Bath (5f, heavy, 11/2) 10 days ago. Not out of things. Much closer in his two nurseries but still left with major work to do.
9
9th (9) (50/1 -52%) Dusky Rain
50
50/1(-52%)
(9) Dusky Rain 50/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Tenth of 11 in maiden (125/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Hard to fancy. Has not beaten many when big odds in her three 6f maidens; one of many handicap newcomers.
4
10th (4) (16/1 -78%) Lady Lovebug
16
16/1(-78%)
(4) Lady Lovebug 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden who arrives on back of respectable fifth of 11 in nursery at Kempton (6f, 100/1) 17 days ago. Hood on first time. Likely contender. Finished closer in nurseries but marked improvement is still required; different headgear.
8
11th (8) (28/1 -180%) Up The Budget
28
28/1(-180%)
(8) Up The Budget 28/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 150/1, ninth of 10 in novice at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others more appealing. Has some ability and needs a market check on nursery debut.
1
12th (1) (9/1 -13%) Limegreentangerine
9
9/1(-13%)
(1) Limegreentangerine 9/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in maiden (50/1) at Newbury (6f, good to firm). Off 104 days. May do better now sent handicapping. Made most at Newbury last time and this nursery/AW debut is a big step down in class.
13
13th (13) (10/3 +58%) Ballarat Bertie
3.333333
10/3(+58%)
(13) Ballarat Bertie 10/3, Thrice-raced maiden. Last of 8 in maiden (125/1) at Bath (5.7f, firm). Off 129 days. Makes handicap debut. Likely to improve. Had wind op; springer in the market for 7f nursery at Kempton (AW) only to be withdrawn.
18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
PRADA ON PAROLE has placed off her current mark on a couple of occasions, including when third over C&D last time. She swept by the weakening She's A Dark Horse and Amy Murphy's filly can confirm her superiority in the process of making another bold bid. Fly Liberty Fly steps up in distance representing last year's winning trainer, while Limegreentangerine is one to note now handicapping.
PRADA ON PAROLE posted a good third here last month and looks the safest option in a race where plenty have questions to answer. Lady Lovebug and Fly Liberty Fly can also make their presence felt.
Prada On Parole is solid, while Ballarat Bertie has attracted attention but also note SECRET MISSION and Limegreentangerine
(1) Kodi Red 11/1, Latest win at Doncaster in July. 20/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (5f) 14 days ago, never nearer. Has plenty to prove at present. Same mark as when winning on turf in July but will need to improve on AW form to win..
2
2nd (2) (8/1 -78%) Sir Rodneyredblood
8
8/1(-78%)
(2) Sir Rodneyredblood 8/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. Respectable fourth of 11 in handicap (5/1) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Can make presence felt back here. Triple C&D winner; below par at Kempton (6f, Polytrack) latest but an each-way player..
5
3rd (5) (9/2 +59%) Rusheen Boy
4.5
9/2(+59%)
(5) Rusheen Boy 9/2, Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 10/1) 17 days ago. Others have achieved more lately. Needs to pull out more than on his recent return from a break if he is to figure..
4
4th (4) (5/1 -25%) Bint Havana Gold
5
5/1(-25%)
(4) Bint Havana Gold 5/1, 9/4, shaped as if still in form when second of 6 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 6 days ago, no match for winner. Has slipped to an appealing mark and got to be respected. Well treated based on some spring form but an each-way player on more recent efforts..
8
5th (8) (9/1 +18%) Katie G

9/1(+18%)
(8) Katie G 9/1, Latest win at Southwell in August. 11/1, tenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Type to bounce back quickly. Each-way player from this mark but does have two below-par efforts to put behind her..
6
6th (6) (7/2 -17%) Gultari
3.5
7/2(-17%)
(6) Gultari 7/2, Winner at Yarmouth in August. Respectable third of 14 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 15/2) 17 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Best two AW efforts have been on her last two starts; each-way player on that evidence..

7th (9) (16/1 -60%) Zachary
16
16/1(-60%)
(9) Zachary 16/1, C&D winner. Seventeen runs since last win in 2023. 12/1, good fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 14 days ago. Not discounted. C&D winner; not beaten far here (7f) latest but others have stronger claims..
7
8th (7) (11/1 +8%) Sassy Redhead
11
11/1(+8%)
(7) Sassy Redhead 11/1, C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 4/1). Off 7 months. Likely to strip fitter for it. C&D winner; couldn't get a run latest and should be very competitive from 1lb lower..
3
8th (3) (11/2 +61%) Em Jay Kay
5.5
11/2(+61%)
(3) Em Jay Kay 11/2, Latest win at Nottingham in July. Eighth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 20/1) 17 days ago. Given a chance by the handicapper but not firing at present. Handicapper in control since he won in July; now 1lb higher so may be more competitive..
19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
GULTARI found 7f just beyond her when placed at Kempton on her latest start. However, she won under Harry Burns over this trip at Yarmouth in August and the daughter of Oasis Dream gets another chance competing off only a 1lb higher mark. Sassy Redhead has won four times on the Polytrack and returns to this surface with a shout, while Bint Havana Gold looks likely to run her usual solid race.
BINT HAVANA GOLD has been shaping like she's ready to capitalise on a reduced mark and this race could set up perfectly for her, so she gets the nod. Gultari and Sir Rodneyredblood are both players but there's a chance they'll take each other on for the lead.
Having been a shade unlucky last time, SASSY REDHEAD may be able to get her nose in front again now back over this C&D.
(5) War Zone 5/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap (17/2) at this course (6f) 42 days ago, well positioned. Could be on the premises again. If able to reproduce the level of either placed effort (6f) here he should be involved..
2
2nd (2) (9/2 -64%) Street Life
4.5
9/2(-64%)
(2) Street Life 9/2, 3 wins from 17 runs this year. 9/2, improved on recent efforts to win 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago. Worth a chance to follow up raised 4 lb. Decisive winner (5f, Tapeta) latest; well treated if transferring that form to Polytrack..
6
3rd (6) (5/1 +17%) Marcus
5
5/1(+17%)
(6) Marcus 5/1, Bit below form second of 5 in handicap (6/1) at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Not ruled out. Placed over C&D; a similar effort would see him pick up prize money but below par lately..
8
4th (8) (20/1 -122%) Battle Point
20
20/1(-122%)
(8) Battle Point 20/1, One win from 28 Flat runs. Second of 4 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (5f, AW) 57 days ago. Could be involved. Back to form at Lingfield latest; player if backing that up but inconsistency a concern..
3
5th (3) (3/1 +50%) Suanni
3
3/1(+50%)
(3) Suanni 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in July. 8/1, respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 7 days ago. Can make presence felt. C&D winner; inconsistent but if on song after two below-par efforts, he'll be involved..
7
6th (7) (50/1 +0%) Next Second
50
50/1(+0%)
(7) Next Second 50/1, Last of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 66/1) 7 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Hard to fancy. Placed over C&D; well below par on her last four starts; cheekpieces go on; bit to prove..
9
7th (9) (33/1 -65%) Haveagobeau
33
33/1(-65%)
(9) Haveagobeau 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Fourth of 5 in handicap at Windsor (5.1f, heavy, 10/1) 17 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Has work to do. 0-17; visor now swapped for blinkers and they do need to help him pull out more..
4
8th (4) (12/1 +25%) Chiedozie
12
12/1(+25%)
(4) Chiedozie 12/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. 8/1, last of 5 in handicap at Brighton (5.3f, heavy) 14 days ago. Others make more appeal. Placed over C&D; handy mark but few signs of a revival at Brighton (5.5f, soft) latest..
1
9th (1) (10/3 +44%) Tilsworth Ony Ta
3.333333
10/3(+44%)
(1) Tilsworth Ony Ta 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in July. 28/1, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 5 days ago. C&D winner; a few pounds below his best since his last win, so has to raise his game..
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
STREET LIFE appeared to have plenty in hand when scoring over this distance at Wolverhampton just under two weeks ago and 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him here. Battle Point was only narrowly denied on his most recent outing at Lingfield and is likely to be in the mix once again. War Zone and Tilsworth Ony Ta are the pick of the remainder.
A weak race in which it might pay to side with last-time-out winner STREET LIFE, who remains well treated on past form. War Zone and Battle Point at least arrive in form, so there's a chance they'll be on the premises.
C&D winner SUANNI has to shrug off a couple of lesser efforts but is on the sort of mark from which he can strike again.
(2) Lokana 4/1, 9/4, good second of 8 in handicap at Thirsk (8f, good) 45 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Hood on 1st time. Worth chancing to go one better. On a competitive mark now and goes on the shortlist off the back of two placed efforts.
7
2nd (7) (11/2 +61%) Saved Lizzie
5.5
11/2(+61%)
(7) Saved Lizzie 11/2, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Good fifth of 12 in handicap (125/1) at this C&D 19 days ago. Took a step forward last time and it's still early days, so could do better still. Hard to know what to make of latest run here but that gave something to build on down 2lb.
3
3rd (3) (13/2 +35%) Arenas Del Tiempo
6.5
13/2(+35%)
(3) Arenas Del Tiempo 13/2, Twenty runs since last win in 2021. 18/1, twelfth of 14 in handicap at this course (10f) 19 days ago, slowly away. Visor on 1st time. Has a bit to prove. Lacks consistency now and a lot will hinge on how she responds to the first-time visor.
6
4th (6) (5/2 +17%) Arabian Rose
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(6) Arabian Rose 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fifth of 12 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 80/1). Off 108 days. Appeals as the type to do better switched to handicaps after a break (has had breathing operation). Well related; has undergone wind surgery; this is more realistic in weak handicap company.
4
5th (4) (11/1 -22%) Go Wild
11
11/1(-22%)
(4) Go Wild 11/1, Winner at Lingfield in September. Tenth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Hung right throughout on her handicap debut (7f, Tapeta) last time; now tried in headgear.
1
6th (1) (4/1 +50%) New Heights
4
4/1(+50%)
(1) New Heights 4/1, Seventh of 8 in handicap at Newmarket (9f, good, 8/1) 40 days ago. Sliding in the weights without threatening to take advantage. Struggled this year, coming 9lb down the weights; needs a revival back from six weeks off.
5
7th (5) (14/1 -40%) Liberty Mountain
14
14/1(-40%)
(5) Liberty Mountain 14/1, 2/1, below form third of 6 in claimer at Leicester (7f, heavy) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Needs to bounce back after a quick turnaround. Wins for Joseph Parr both came on the AW in October; well held on heavy going on Monday.
8
8th (8) (125/1 -213%) Disquietude
125
125/1(-213%)
(8) Disquietude 125/1, Last of 8 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, soft, 25/1) 9 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Likely to struggle from out of the weights. Beaten a long way in six runs; is readily opposed unless there's good support this time.
20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LOKANA filled second place at Thirsk when last seen in September and the first-time application of a hood could see David O'Meara's three-year-old go one better here. Arabian Rose put in a career best on her latest outing in maiden company and should not be underestimated now handicapping following wind surgery. New Heights and Saved Lizzie are others who make the shortlist.
LOKANA is on a feasible mark and travelled with fluency when second at Thirsk last time, so she's fancied to go one better in a thin race. Arabian Rose is a potential improver switched to handicaps, so she's regarded as a danger along with Saved Lizzie.
A weak fillies' handicap in which all roads lead to LOKANA, who's related to AW winners and has found her level on turf lately.
(4) War Chant 7/2, Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Wolverhampton in September. Eighth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 5/1) 31 days ago. Not ruled out. Never been this far and, while this is an easy 1m2f, he has stamina to prove off this mark.
5
2nd (5) (10/3 +39%) Rocket Warrior
3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(5) Rocket Warrior 10/3, C&D winner. Creditable 3 lengths sixth of 10 to Tribal Wisdom in handicap (3/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago. Can make presence felt. Didn't look to have any excuses behind Tribal Wisdom latest; needs to improve on that.
6
3rd (6) (7/1 -180%) Tribal Wisdom
7
7/1(-180%)
(6) Tribal Wisdom 7/1, 3 wins from 12 runs this year. 13/2, won 10-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 12 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Expected to be bang there again. Had Rocket Warrior behind latest; is fine on Polytrack too and has fair claims upped 4lb.
1
4th (1) (11/2 +45%) Knockbrex
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(1) Knockbrex 11/2, 40/1, creditable sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f) 16 days ago, better placed than most. Makes polytrack debut. Not taken lightly. Pulled hard and didn't see it out behind No Surrender back from a break; each-way shout.
2
5th (2) (10/3 +33%) No Surrender
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(2) No Surrender 10/3, Creditable third of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 6/1) 16 days ago, faring best of those held up. Definite player from a sliding mark. Latest third was better than it looked, with him held up off a steady pace; shortlisted.
8
6th (8) (17/2 -183%) Imitate
8.5
17/2(-183%)
(8) Imitate 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/2, very good third of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 10 days ago, conceding first run. Makes polytrack debut. Longer trip will suit and strong claims. Longer trip should be fine, both on Wolverhampton evidence and pedigree; decent claims.
3
7th (3) (40/1 +20%) Educate
40
40/1(+20%)
(3) Educate 40/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 125/1) 26 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two poor efforts for this yard, having been picked up for 32,000gns and gelded.
7
8th (7) (25/1 0%) L'ennemi
25
25/1(0%)
(7) L'ennemi 25/1, 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Redcar (10f, good to soft) 36 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Has work to do. Didn't look to see out 1m2f from the front latest; needs to settle better on his AW debut.
20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Tribal Wisdom has to be respected following his win at Wolverhampton recently, but a 4lb rise will make life tougher for him. With that in mind, preference is for IMITATE, who put in a career best when a close third at the same venue 10 days ago and she can race off the same mark here. No Surrender is another who has strong form claims.
IMITATE took a positive step forward when third at Wolverhampton last time and promises to be well suited by this extra distance, so she gets the nod over Tribal Wisdom, who did well to get up from an unpromising position at the same course recently. No Surrender is another definite player.
This can go to IMITATE (nap), who did better on her AW debut last time out and promises to be suited by the longer trip.

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.
