16:55 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

STORM FREE showed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up over this distance at Kempton last time out, and he looks the one to beat if building upon that. Winless since scoring at Newmarket in May, The Actor has operated mostly at a higher level since, and he is a player with jockey Tyrese Cameron taking off 7lb. Pink Diesel and newcomer Ottawa are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

STORM FREE showed much more than first time up when finding just one too strong at Kempton last month, the penny really dropping late on, so James Tate's colt is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of Pink Diesel, who won over C&D in August and probably remained in form when fifth in a valuable fillies' event in the mud at Goodwood last time. Sweet Fantastic and The Actor can fight out third.

Preference is for STORM FREE who seemed to have learned a lot from his debut and can progress further. Pink Diesel is second choice.

17:25 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over shorter at Wolverhampton on Monday, BLUEBELLS BOY looks more than capable of following up under a 5lb penalty. Stepping back up in distance should not inconvenience him and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Prince Of Bel Lir, and Lewis Barnes, who got off the mark with a determined performance at Kempton over 6f earlier in the month.

SHAMARDIA had excuses on her most recent outing and had been on an upward trajectory prior to that, so she's well worth another chance to regain the progressive thread. Lewis Barnes and the thriving Bluebells Boy head the opposition.

Prince Of Bel Lir remains of interest but the return to 6f can see SHAMARDIA resume her progress.

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A tentative vote goes to SPANISH ANGEL, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Wolverhampton last time out and remains well handicapped off an all-weather mark 6lb lower than his last victory in May. A winner of two of his last three starts, including over C&D most recently, Cabeza De Llave must enter calculations, along with the capable Agostino and It's Showtime.

BERNARD SPIERPOINT can have his latest run overlooked having reared leaving the stalls when trying to get a flyer and gets the nod from a good mark. The in-form Cabeza de Llave is also of interest.

It's Showtime can go well but CABEZA DE LLAVE is taken to defy a small rise for last week's C&D win.

18:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SALAMANCA struggled in the Lingfield Derby Trial when last seen in May but his previous form suggests that the son of Sea The Stars could be hard to beat this level on his return. Al Ameed is an obvious threat based on the pick of his form but he did put in an underwhelming effort last time, while any market support for either of Bewitch or Tic Tok Trot should be noted.

SALAMANCA was only narrowly denied at Newmarket on his reappearance, before giving a good account upped in grade when mid-field in the Lingfield Derby Trial, so he looks to hold leading claims as he returns to action. Al Ameed could be the biggest threat having placed on 3 of his 4 starts on all-weather, ahead of User Amistoso.

His absence is a slight concern but SALAMANCA has outstanding form claims and can get off the mark at the fourth attempt.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

CLOUD FREE won over course and distance a couple of weeks ago and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the three-year-old to make it a double, despite a 2lb rise. The Bitter Moose hit the crossbar at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to the consistent Sonmarg. Gone Rogue is another capable of going well.

A deserved success could be on the cards for SONMARG, who has been knocking on the door of late. Gone Rogue's stamina was stretched upped to 1¼m here last time and he is feared back at a mile, while Cloud Free opened his account over C&D a fortnight ago and is also shortlisted, along with Gone Rogue's stablemate Etretat.

Preference is for THE BITTER MOOSE who has a solid AW record and remains on a workable mark. Sonmarg is second choice.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

ALTANERA appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on Monday and David Simcock's filly is hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. Cloudy Rose was only beaten a nose into second at Brighton recently but may have to settle for the runner-up position once again, while Sir Joseph Swan edges out Dereham and Veer to be best of the rest.

While it's a slight concern that CLOUDY ROSE has failed to fire on each of her three previous appearances on the all-weather, it's worth bearing in mind that two of those were back in early 2021 and she will surely go very close indeed if reproducing the form of her recent effort at Brighton. Sir Joseph Swan and recent Wolverhampton winner Altanera rate the main dangers, though the selection's stablemate Dereham is also worth a second look.

The potential seems to rest almost solely with ALTANERA (nap), who took a step up to 1m6f in her stride at Wolverhampton on Monday.

The money came for BOBBY DASSLER, who finished third at Brighton on his stable bow and, although unable to justify that market support, it was at least a much more encouraging performance. Eased 1lb in the ratings and back over the mile, Michael Wigham's gelding can repay his supporters this time around. Summanus might not have shown much in novice/maiden events, but he could progress now sent handicapping and with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Meng Tian is another to consider.

The vote goes to GUILDFORD, who will benefit from the drop back to this trip after finishing a creditable fourth off this mark at Wolverhampton the other day. Meng Tian was doing his best work at the finish at the same course 12 days ago and he is a much-respected main danger, while Bobby Dassler is also accorded respect.

Attractively treated BOBBY DASSLER is taken to build on his Brighton effort and record a first AW win. Meng Tian is second pick.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

BATAL DANDY appeared to relish a return to this trip when recording a narrow success at Kempton recently and, with Brandon Wilkie negating the 3lb rise incurred, he can double his tally. Connections of Profitman, runner-up on his last two starts, will be hoping the addition of first-time cheekpieces can give him an added boost. That said, Cogsworth, a previous C&D winner, might be the bigger threat.

A tight-knit handicap in which PROFITMAN rates just the pick of the weights and is fancied to gain a deserved second C&D victory. Fellow C&D scorer Cogsworth is next on the list with recent Kempton victor Batal Dandy and handicap-debutant Velvet Vortex also firmly in the picture.

Preference is for BATAL DANDY who coped well with his first 7f run on Polytrack when winning at Kempton and has more to come.

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.
