16:25 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AL SHABAB struggled in a very competitive sales event at Doncaster when last seen but his previous form at this level suggests that he could be hard to beat here. That said, Pinjarra took a step forward when third over a mile at this venue three weeks ago and he may have more improvement left to come. Pressure's On and Pretence are both capable of going very well but could be vulnerable to less exposed rivals.

It's fair to say that PRESSURE'S ON doesn't look especially progressive but he has shown more than enough to suggest that a race of this nature would be within his grasp. He gets the nod ahead of Al Shabab, who was flying too high in a valuable sales race last time and comes into the reckoning judged on his creditable effort at Leicester in August. Pretence also has decent form claims, for all that she was below par last time.

Pressure's On will be a strong contender if seeing out the trip but AL SHABAB looks the safer option back down in grade.

17:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BLUE FLAME was only beaten a neck into second over course and distance a week ago and he can race off a 1lb lower mark here. That leaves the six-year-old 4lb well in and he merits the utmost respect as a result. Cariad is more than capable of making the frame in a race of this nature, especially as she may improve for the application of first-time blinkers. Laura's Breeze edges out Nubough to be best of the rest.

LAURA'S BREEZE did well under the circumstances when third on her all-weather debut over this C&D 7 days ago, caught further back than ideal, so she could be ready to open her account this time around. She is taken to reverse the placings with Blue Flame from when the pair met last time, while Landlordtothestars also merits consideration.

Things look in place for a big run from BLUE FLAME (nap) and he can prove too strong for Solar Portrait.

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The hat-trick seeking Turquoise Diamond has to be respected but the step up in grade is a slight concern and preference is for LEADENHALL. Ralph Beckett's gelding got off the mark at Haydock two starts ago and is only 1lb higher than when a close second at Newmarket on his most recent outing. Fantastic Fox appeared to be coming back to form in a valuable event at Kempton a month ago and is another to consider.

LEADENHALL looked unlucky not to make it back-to-back victories at Newmarket just under 7 weeks ago, so Ralph Beckett's progressive 3-y-o is fancied to make amends fitted with a first-time visor at the expense of Turquoise Diamond, who arrives chasing a hat-trick and could have even more to offer. Court of Session and Roman Dynasty can fight out minor honours.

The step up to 1m could see TURQUOISE DIAMOND pull out some more improvement so she's taken to defy the handicapper again.

Runner-up on his last two outings at Lingfield, AL TARFA deserves a change in luck and this looks like as good an opportunity as any to break the maiden at the ninth time of asking. Hostelry arrives on a hat-trick and is likely to enter calculations, despite not having won on the all-weather, while Velvet Crush must be of interest on his handicap debut for esteemed connections. Always Fearless and Lunarscape are capable of being in the mix.

AL TARFA has only been beaten by one of the most progressive handicappers in the country on his last 2 outings and surely will take plenty of beating without a rival of that calibre in opposition this time. Hostelry is a really likeable mare and she should give another good account attempting to follow up from her Carlisle win, with the Gosdens' Velvet Crush also interesting on her handicap debut.

Having shaped well the last twice AL TARFA may be ready to land a first win. Hostelry can follow him home.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

THE WAITING GAME is in the winning groove at present and it is difficult to see that stopping with the form she is in, despite an 8lb rise on this occasion. Two from two aboard, David Propert returning to the saddle is another plus and she should have too much for the likes of Kit Gabriel, who bounced back to winning ways with a strong performance at Wolverhampton last month, and Alpha Zulu.

It's hard to get away from THE WAITING GAME, who won with plenty in hand here last time. She can extend her winning run. Champagne Sarah and Kit Gabriel are feared most,

A further 8lb rise may not be enough to stop the thriving THE WAITING GAME as she had lots in hand over C&D last time and is well drawn.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Despite being restless in the stalls, ARLECCHINO'S GIFT ran his best race for some time when narrowly denied over C&D recently, and compensation may await the four-year-old on this occasion. Sumac may still be a maiden though 11 starts, but he has shown plenty of ability on several outings this season, whereas course winner Bluebells Boy is one to note on the rise in distance.

BLUEBELLS BOY has managed to string several respectable efforts together recently and he appeals as the most solid proposition in a weak contest. Jumira Bridge hinted at a revival last time and has fallen to a tempting mark, whilst Arlecchino's Gift can also be involved if able to back up his C&D second.

In a race where very few arrive with compelling claims the suggestion is former C&D scorer BLUEBELLS BOY.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Q TWENTY BOY bounced back to form when scoring over C&D last time and this looks a good opportunity to follow up that success. Mark Usher's runner has been raised 2lb for that win and that may be prove lenient. Fellow last-time-out winner Time Patrol is feared most after shedding his maiden tag on his handicap bow but he may find it tough to defy a 2lb rise for that head success, while Giddy Aunt heads the remainder.

Q TWENTY BOY took advantage of his reduced mark when scoring at this C&D 12 days ago and a 2 lb rise might not be enough to prevent him from following up. The main danger could be Time Patrol, who showed much improved form when getting off the mark at Windsor last time, with Giddy Aunt completing the shortlist.

The one to beat has to be TIME PATROL who overcame a wide draw to strike on his Windsor handicap debut and can progress further.

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

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

This race seems to revolve around the performance of SO SLEEPY, who has the most solid form claims in this field and she may be tough to beat today. William Muir and Chris Grassick's charge was only just touched off over 5f at Lingfield last time and she can defy this 2lb rise in the ratings. Storm Melody can pose the biggest threat to the selection having been given a chance by the handicapper, with Next Second also noted.

SO SLEEPY is on a good mark and was unlucky not to win (met trouble) when runner-up at Lingfield last week, so she's a solid proposition in a thin race. Most of the others have something to prove but Storm Melody and Next Second could emerge as dangers.

This looks a good chance for SO SLEEPY to gain compensation for last week's Lingfield near miss.

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

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

An open-looking contest sees a chance taken on SHALFA to follow up his success over 1m 2f at Brighton last time. Lydia Richards' charge won in ready fashion on that occasion, scoring by three lengths, and she can defy this 5lb rise . Storymaker caught the eye when finishing with a flourish over the extended mile at Epsom last time and she will relish this extra yardage, while Angel Of Peace completes the shortlist.

A few with chances but ELSHAAMEQ is taken to gain a deserved breakthrough success on the back of his promising Newcastle third when not enjoying the rub of the green. Recent C&D scorer Angel Of Peace heads the list of dangers, although a good case can also be made for Brighton winner Shalfa and in-form maidens Storymaker and Pretty Peg.

Pretty Peg has untapped potential but TWILIGHT GUEST had a lot go wrong when second here in August and he can get off the mark.
