LTO Selection:

17:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

RICH HARRY sets a clear standard of those who have raced and a repeat of last month's Newcastle third may well suffice. Groovy Baby, sister to 1m Listed winner Twist 'N' Shake, is feared most of the newcomers and Andrew Balding's filly requires close examination in the market. As does 350,000gns-purchase Fun Loving, who may well appreciate further in time but this looks a good starting point for the daughter of Le Havre.

FUN LOVING and Champagne Prince were both expensive buys and are newcomers who stand out on paper. Fun Loving is just preferred before market clues. Rich Harry has been pretty consistent and has the form to play a part in first-time cheekpieces.

Rich Harry looks vulnerable to a useful newcomer and CHAMPAGNE PRINCE may prove the answer.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

SIRIUS WHITE appeared revitalised by a 136-day break when winning with real authority at this venue earlier in the month and a 6lb rise in the handicap may not be enough to prevent the four-year-old from completing a brace. Fellow last-time-out winner Struck Gold must shoulder a 6lb penalty for his victory at Wolverhampton, which may be enough to thwart him from going in again, and a bigger threat expected to come from recent C&D winner For Real, who has only been nudged up 2lb.

If STRUCK GOLD is in the same form as at Wolverhampton he might be able to defy a 6 lb penalty. Channel Packet had a quick turnaround as a possible excuse here last time and is second choice ahead of Ceilidh King, who is one to monitor closely in the betting on his first outing for the Jack Jones yard.

Warrior Square still has potential but STRUCK GOLD looked well suited by the step up in trip last week and he can defy his penalty.

2m win at Kempton in September was comfortable; less good since; others appeal more.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TRADESMAN recorded a career-best performance when completing a double here last month and David Simcock's charge is hard to oppose on his current upward trajectory. A 7lb hike in the ratings for the four-year-old does give some hope to chief rival A Poet's Secret, who has only received a 2lb rise in the handicap for his recent Lingfield victory. De Vega's Warrior has fallen to an attractive mark and is another to consider on the return to 2m.

TRADESMAN has been successful on his last 3 visits here and might be able to defy the handicapper again. Grand Duchess Olga is another who has discovered the winning habit here lately and is second choice ahead of De Vega's Warrior.

The strongest claims are held by TRADESMAN (nap). He seems ideally suited to this track and can make light of this step up in class.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

BALDOMERO has been knocking on the door recently at Kempton, placing on both starts there this month, and Mick Appleby's gelding, who is 2lb higher on this occasion, deserves to get his head back in front. The return to handicap company is a big positive for Zaman Jemil, who contested a Listed event at Redcar last month, while Justcallmepete wasn't far behind the selection in fourth last time and he is expected to be in the mix.

BALDOMERO added to an ultra-reliable profile on the AW since dropped back in trip when just denied at Kempton 2 weeks ago and another bold bid looks on the cards. Justcallmepete and Zaman Jemil are feared most.

Zaman Jemil still has some potential upside but BALDOMERO is banging at the door and this track should suit him well.

Easy C&D win in May off just 2lb lower; no surprise to see a revival this evening.
LTO Selection:

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

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

DICKO THE LEGEND benefited from the extra furlong when scoring over C&D earlier in the month and the three-year-old, who remains unexposed as a sprinter, looks to have scope for further progression. Araifjan is another recent C&D winner who is likely to enter calculations once again, despite the handicapper raising him 5lb for that recent success. Agostino finally got off the mark here last month and he is capable of a decent showing, along with Habooba.

AGOSTINO looked well suited by a switch to front-running tactics when finally getting off the mark over C&D last time and might be able to dominate again from a handy inside stall. Mokaatil really should be up to making his presence felt in a 0-65 and is second choice ahead of C&D specialist Araifjan.

Ultramarine and MOKAATIL can prove more potent forces at Class 6 level, particularly the selection who shaped nicely last time.

11/2(-38%)
(8) Street Parade 11/2, C&D winner. 2/1, perhaps unlucky not to win when 1¼ lengths third of 7 to Josies Kid in handicap at this C&D 11 days ago, not much room. Can make amends off same mark.
Won this race off 10lb higher last year; no luck behind Josies Kid over C&D latest; chance.

(3) Mick's Spirit 5/1, Produced the effort he'd been building up to when winning 6-runner handicap at this C&D (13/8) 24 days ago. Can go well again.
Ready win over C&D last month; 2lb rise far from excessive; leading contender.

(4) Hover On The Wind 4/1, Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, soft, 22/1) 18 days ago. Stepping back in the right direction.
0-9 and no improvement for the drop to 5f latest; others look more persuasive.

100/1(-300%)
(7) Due Date 100/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (28/1) 5 days ago. Something to find on form.
A bit more promise since visored without appealing as a winner-in-waiting.

So Sleepy

10/1(-67%)
(6) So Sleepy 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 10/3, creditable second of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 16 days ago, nearest finish. Likely to have more to offer if she can sort out her starts.
C&D winner last month but behind two of these rivals next time; needs more to win.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MICK'S SPIRIT has returned to form on his last few outings, building on a string of placed efforts to score over C&D at the end of last month, and the five-year-old makes a considerable amount of appeal, especially with his rider's claim. Josies Kid has been running well since returning from a break and he is likely to enter the reckoning, while others for the shortlist include So Sleepy and Diomed Spirit.

STREET PARADE would have gone very close had he not met trouble over C&D 11 days ago and can make amends off the same mark. This does look competitive, though, headed by last-time-out winners Mick's Spirit and Josies Kid.

Mick's Spirit and DIOMED SPIRIT look the most appealing options and the latter can follow up his smooth Wolverhampton success.

(8) Louisiana Bay 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 18/1) 29 days ago.

No progress for this yard and the step up in trip needs to turn things around.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Both Oriental Art and KENTUCKY KINGDOM arrive on the back of successful performances, but the the latter strikes as the better equipped to cope with the rise in the weights and is fancied to hold sway off 4lb higher than his Lingfield victory a fortnight ago. Joe Leavy has a solid rapport with the selection and, given the gelding is already a three-time C&D winner, everything seems to be in place for another bold showing. Eton College and Semser are a couple of others to consider.

JENSON BENSON ran his best race on turf when third at Salisbury when last seen 3 months ago and is potentially on a good mark back on AW. Kentucky Kingdom has won 2 of his last 3 starts so must be feared as he bids for a fourth C&D success, with Oriental Art best of the others after finally breaking his duck at Southwell.

Kentucky Kingdom comes here in top form but SEMSER may be the answer back up to his optimum trip.

0-8 but can win races at this level; return to 1m2f shouldn't be a hindrance; contender.

(1) Turner Girl 8/1, Creditable third of 8 in handicap (11/2) at Wolverhampton (14f) 19 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Down in trip and should make her presence felt.

(11) Pearly Star 10/1, Winner at Chester in June. 11/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 21 days ago. Merits respect on this polytrack debut but not sure that moving up in trip will work in her favour.
Consistent 7.5f turf winner; new trip needs to have a positive effect for her to take this.

Perhaps needed her recent return and she has untapped potential now handicapping.

(2) Brassavola 12/1, 10/3, first run since leaving H-A. Pantall when eighth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (8f) on UK debut 27 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Couldn't be sure that this step up in trip is what she wants.
Only midfield on stable debut but that is strong form and today's trip could spark extra.

Four-time winner at up to 8.5f; 2nd over 1m here last time; stamina not assured up to 1m2f.

Two wins over further last season; fair run at Windsor latest; drop in trip a query.

Eloped

20
20/1(-43%)
(10) Eloped 20/1, 125/1, tailed-off seventh of 8 to One Evening in listed race at Bath (14f, heavy) 34 days ago. Back down in trip on debut for new yard and, faced with a more realistic assignment back on the AW, she's not discounted.
Progressive for H Palmer this summer; latest run can be ignored; still not fully exposed.

10th (8) Corymbosa (14/1 -180%)
Corymbosa

14
14/1(-180%)
(8) Corymbosa 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 8/1, fifth of 6 in minor event at Lingfield (12f, AW) 76 days ago. Needs to improve but, as a well-bred filly from a top yard, that is entirely possible now pitched into a handicap off a lowly mark.
Too keen upped to 1m4f last time; makes handicap debut at a realistic level; can do better.

(7) So Farhh So Good 7/1, 9/1, last of 6 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 41 days ago. Back down in trip and this 7-race maiden is likely to find a few too good once more.
Placed off 7lb higher on handicap debut in July but less good since; others look safer.

(9) Rogue Warrior 10/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, third of 8 in minor event at Newcastle (8f) 35 days ago. Back up in trip for this handicap debut and she's one to consider.
Clear promise at up to 1m2f in novice/maiden runs; capable of better now handicapping.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

NIGHT AT SEA can make strides forward now she steps into handicap company and, with her match-fitness topped up by a spin around Newcastle earlier in the month, Andrew Balding's three-year-old rates as a live contender from a very workable mark. Fellow handicap debutant Rogue Warrior is another open to any amount of improvement, while Emma Emilleen and Pearly Star also enter calculations.

CLIPSHAM GOLD posted her best effort since joining this yard when runner-up over a mile here a fortnight ago and, with this stiffer test expected to be in her favour, she could be the answer to what looks a wide-open handicap. It would be no surprise to see improvement from handicap debutantes Corymbosa and Rogue Warrior, while Eloped is of interest back down in class and returned to the all-weather having understandably struggled in listed company on turf last time.

An open race in which BRASSAVOLA is given another chance now stepping up in trip. Emma Emilleen is feared most.

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.
