17:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

QATAR MOON (second) finished a nose behind Machiavellian Lady over C&D in a thrilling finish last month and she is now 7lb better off with her rival from that day. The daughter of Study Of Man can progress further on only her third start to reverse that form and shed her maiden tag. As for the latter, she has her 7lb penalty to carry, which makes life tougher, but she is still likely to be thereabouts. The African Queen will find this a lot easier than the Listed contest she struggled in at Sandown in July.

The well-bred CALM WATERS won't need to be any great shakes to make a winning start for the Gosden stable, with confidence in her chance increased should the betting vibes be strong. Qatar Moon is perhaps the one most likely to profit should the selection fail to deliver. Tayala and Brighton-winner The African Queen are others likely to have a say.

Machiavellian Lady and Qatar Moon look best of those to have run but CALM WATERS has a striking pedigree for a race like this.

PALAZZO PERSICO was sent off favourite when a half-length second over 7f here last week and he now takes a considerable step up in distance, which could suit him based on his finishing effort that day. The son of Profitable could be ready to strike for the first time off a 1lb higher rating. Surging Tide was a close-up third on her handicap bow at Newcastle last time and it would be no surprise to see her have a say off a 1lb lower mark. Our Papa Smurf warrants a market check on his first crack at a handicap.

GO YOUR OWN WAY has been in good form on AW and may be able to provide the Stan Moore yard with a second successive win in this race. Surging Tide couldn't justify market confidence on her nursery debut but is evidently thought capable of going close from her mark and is second choice ahead of Palazzo Persico, who races beyond 1m for the first time here.

Surging Tide may leave her Newcastle run behind her but UNLEASH HELL ran a fair race here last month and gets the tentative vote.

TRIBAL STAR was beaten five lengths into second on his debut at Newmarket last month and this well-bred son of Sea The Stars should have plenty more to offer with that experience under his belt. Therefore, he is taken to shed his maiden tag at the second time of asking on his first all-weather start. Poniros struck on his racecourse bow when favourite over the extended 1m at Nottingham in heavy conditions and he should put up a fight under a 7lb penalty, while any market confidence behind Chain Of Command should also be noted.

TRIBAL STAR showed plenty when runner-up in what is traditionally a strong maiden at Newmarket and he sets the bar pretty high. Poniros justified market confidence when making a winning debut at Nottingham and rates the main threat under a penalty, while well-connected newcomer Chain of Command needs keeping an eye on.

Newcomer CHAIN OF COMMAND is interesting for the Gosdens who have a fine recent record with 2yos here.

LIBERATED LAD returned to form with a close-up third at Newcastle nine days ago. The gelded son of Muhaarar is able to compete from an unchanged mark today and a similar performance could see him regain the winning thread. Cavalluccio is just 2lb higher than for April's C&D success and must enter calculations with that in mind, while Fiddlers Green, who hasn't been with the John O'Shea team for long, is an interesting contender with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time.

CAVALLUCCIO caught the eye on his second start back from a break when third at Wolverhampton and looks ready to strike off his current mark. Liberated Lad is another to consider after his strong-finishing third at Newcastle 9 days ago, with Eljaytee best of the others.

Returning to Class 6 company could see BLUE YONDER bounce back to winning ways. Cavalluccio may be the one to chase him home.

FLOWER OF DUBAI has been knocking on the door in recent starts and the New Approach filly, who has two wins from her three all-weather appearances, is expected to get back on track now returned to an artificial surface. Different Tone makes plenty of appeal from the foot of the handicap, along with Le Rouge Chinois, who finished a creditable third on his first start for Breeders' Cup-winning trainer Michael Appleby and improvement ought to be in the offing.

LE ROUGE CHINOIS made an encouraging start for Mick Appleby when third at Newcastle 11 days ago, and with further improvement on the cards now stepped further up in trip, he's taken to double his career tally at the expense of Kyle of Lochalsh, who got back on track and would've finished closer still without meeting late interference when third at Kempton recently. Different Tone looks best of the rest.

Returned to AW, DIFFERENT TONE could well show that he's another shrewd purchase by The Horse Watchers.

A host of in-form sprinters line up here, but none more so than THE WAITING GAME. Jack Jones' four-year-old has gone up a total of 32lb in the handicap since winning a classified event in August, and a further 3lb rise for her latest C&D success might not be enough to stop the filly today. Buccabay doesn't have many miles on the clock and he merits consideration now dropped in class, while others to consider include Shalaa Asker, Holkham Bay and Masterclass.

Lots with chances. HOLKHAM BAY remains handily weighted despite going up 6 lb for his recent Kempton success so is taken to follow up at the chief expense of Dare To Hope, who didn't enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Newcastle last time. The Waiting Game, Cuban Breeze and Hello Me all have winning form here and need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

A six-timer for The Waiting Game isn't stretching the imagination but DARE TO HOPE had no luck last week and still looked in form.

Moonspirit made most to score from a poor draw here last month and a 5lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent another bold bid with the cheekpieces retrained. However, there is also a lot to like about the chances of DOUBLE TIME, who has held his form well on turf and he gets the nod reverting to the all-weather off just 3lb higher than his last winning mark (at Wolverhampton in March). Larado and King Of Scotia complete the shortlist.

Preference is for KING OF SCOTIA, who scored on AW in Ireland last year and has made a solid start for his new yard. Moonspirit and Double Time should also go well in an open-looking contest.

Top of the list is 3yo MOONSPIRIT (nap), who made it 2-6 with her comfortable win over C&D last month and is open to more progress.

Cliffs Of Capri (fourth) and Amathus (fifth) meet on identical terms to their encounter at Kempton 17 days ago and rate as players given they drop in class this evening. However, TAMALUK has more scope and, having dropped to a competitive mark, could be worth chancing after a respectable third-placed finish in a deeper-looking fillies' handicap over C&D a fortnight ago. My Opinion also tends to go well here and is another to seriously consider.

CLIFFS OF CAPRI is a long time without a win but his recent Kempton effort suggested he can still prove a force at this lower level and he gets the verdict over Amathus, who arrives after a pair of decent efforts in defeat on all-weather. Tamaluk remains on a workable mark and is another who shouldn't be discounted.

After doing well to finish where he did at Kempton, this might be the day that the grand old lad CLIFFS OF CAPRI snaps a losing run.

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.
