LTO Selection:

17:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KENTUCKY KINGDOM arrives here on the back of two wins last month and a 2lb rise for the most recent of those victories, which came over C&D, may not be enough to stop him making it a hat-trick. Cavalluccio also scored over this track and trip last time and is an obvious threat to the selection as a result, while Jumeira Vision and Sun Festival complete the shortlist.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM arrives at the top of his game and can make it 4 wins from his last 5 starts given the manner of his most recent success over C&D. This does look competitive, though, with last-time-out winners Jumeira Vision and Cavalluccio heading the dangers.

Both KENTUCKY KINGDOM and Cavalluccio are 2lb higher than when winning over C&D last time with preference for the former.

3/1(+85%)
(1) Coolnaugh Haze 3/1, Twice-raced gelding on Flat/fair winner at 2m over hurdles, back on the scoreboard on yard debut at Worcester in August. However, handicaps may be more his bag in this sphere.

Gold Aura

In the frame in five of her six starts; respected on debut for yard that does well here.

6/1(-33%)
(8) Catrake Force 6/1, Sent off at a big price but showed plenty to work on when second of 8 in maiden (33/1) at Wolverhampton (9.5f) on debut 31 days ago. Rates a likely improver with that under her belt.
Runner-up on last month's Wolverhampton debut; any improvement puts her right in the mix.

Reason To Pass

(3) Reason To Pass 7/1, €11,000 yearling, Raven's Pass gelding. Half-brother to 9f/9.5f winner Hodeng. Dam 2-y-o 7.5f winner on sole start. Hood fitted for debut and betting may prove a useful guide.

Unplaced all seven starts and has an official mark of 43; visor on.
LTO Selection:

17:30 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

ON THE CARDS improved on his debut effort when a head second over a mile at Lingfield 12 days ago and the three-year-old could be hard to stop if finding further progression. That said, Catrake Force should not be underestimated having shown plenty of promise when second on her racecourse bow at Wolverhampton last month, while Gold Aura and Pourquoi are others with valid form claims.

CATRAKE FORCE produced a promising debut effort when second in a Wolverhampton maiden 31 days ago and, entitled to improve for that experience, it would come as no surprise to see her go well. On The Cards showed the benefit of his debut run when second at Lingfield and he's feared, with Gold Aura. Newcomer Reason To Pass is one to note in the betting.

The vote goes to GOLD AURA who showed plenty of ability for Richard Hannon and has joined a stable with a fine record at this track.

Makes stable debut after 483 days off having been gelded in the meantime; watch market.
LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BORGI was only beaten a neck into second off a 1lb lower mark over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last time and the first-time application of cheekpieces could help the four-year-old to go one better. Liseo has not been disgraced on either start since winning over C&D in September and he is likely to be in the mix once again. Penzance rates best of the rest.

LISEO scored over C&D in September and shaped as if still ahead of his mark when fourth at Kempton last time, faring best of those held up. As such he gets the nod over his former stablemate Penzance, who should strip fitter for his latest outing. Borgi and Rogue Soldier are also considered.

Preference is for LISEO who won over C&D in September and probably ran even better when fourth in a valuable handicap last time.

(10) Band Of Steel 4/1, Winless since shedding maiden tag at Wolverhampton but has been holding form well in defeat recently, not getting much room to open up when third of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 4/1) 26 days ago. Looks competitive with equipment reapplied.
Ran well over 1m here last time, but tends to pull hard so drop in trip worth exploring.

5/1(+0%)
(2) Riot 5/1, Three wins from 15 runs this year. 4/1, won 10-runner handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Consistent sort enters calculations from 2 lb higher mark.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Riot just got up in the dying strides in this grade over C&D last month and he is likely to be on the premises off a 2lb higher rating. However, the vote goes to the much less exposed ROGUE THUNDER, who shed his maiden tag over C&D after returning from a 258-day break and wind surgery. The three-year-old's form was franked with the second winning next time and he could defy a mark of 78 on his handicap debut. Of the remainder, Oliver Show makes most appeal on his first start for George Boughey.

ROGUE THUNDER was just kept up to his work to make a winning return over C&D last month and can step forward again now switched to handicap company. Riot is a consistent sort and he should give another good account on the back of a 2 lb rise, with Band of Steel and King of Ithaca others to consider.

The vote goes to RIOT (nap) who has a good record over C&D (315321) and is just 2lb higher than when winning here three weeks ago.

Has failed to beat a rival in four starts for this yard; makes little appeal.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ONCE ADAAY has been inching close with each run since September, with his latest second at Wolverhampton being his best performance. The three-year-old was put up 1lb for that effort, which may not be enough to prevent him from going one better. Stella Hogan is 4lb higher than when securing victory at Kempton in October but it would be no surprise to see her involved at the finish, while Nubough is another to consider after his third at Lingfield.

STELLA HOGAN was value for extra when getting off the mark at Kempton last time, held up in a steadily-run race, so she is taken to follow up with the promise of a stronger pace to aim at in this contest. Dors Toyboy has made the frame on his last 2 starts and could be thereabouts again, while Once Adaay also enters calculations.

The vote goes to RAVENGLASS whose two runner-up finishes in better races than this last month make good reading at this level.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Having won in good style over C&D last time, ADACE looks the one to beat in this field. Dean Ivory's charge won by more than three lengths on that occasion and she can defy a 5lb rise in the ratings. Sienna Breeze was touched off over 1m at this venue last time and she rates the main danger, despite being raised 2lb for that effort. Poetic Jack also warrants respect.

ADACE only beat a field of maidens over C&D 3 weeks ago, but she did it easily and a 5 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent the follow up if turning up in similar form. Poetic Jack's lightly-raced profile provides hope for better still, with Legende d'Art and Split Elevens others to consider.

Dean Ivory's ADACE won with a bit of a swagger here three weeks ago and she's taken to defy the 5lb rise.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Q TWENTY BOY has been in good form of late, registering successive seconds after his win over C&D three starts ago, and he could be difficult to stop. Mark Usher's charge was running on when second over 5f here last month and this return to 6f looks to be a positive, with a 1lb rise in the ratings unlikely to be an issue. First-time gelding Monitola is feared most on his all-weather/stable debut, while Revolucion should also be thereabouts at the finish.

BIG BARD returned to form last time and has a solid record on polytrack, so he's a tentative choice from a plum draw in a wide-open sprint handicap. Thank The Lord looks a danger and Revolucion should feature if he can get across from stall 11.

It may be worth siding with THANK THE LORD who ran well enough over C&D last time to suggest that a race like this is within reach.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

DIOMED SPIRIT arrives here seeking a hat-trick after wins at Wolverhampton and, most recently, over C&D. Stuart Williams' charge won cosily last time and he could be up to defying a further 6lb rise in the ratings. Fellow last-time-out winner Star Of Lady M is respected despite a 7lb rise, while Holkham Bay is on better terms with Alexi Boy from 12 days ago and may reverse that form.

A few with chances but POP STAR starts out with Alice Haynes after a wind op on a lenient mark so is taken to go in at the chief expense of Lingfield runner-up Alexi Boy. C&D winner Diomed Spirit and the resurgent Dynamic Force can both have a say too in a competitive handicap.

Hat-trick seeker DIOMED SPIRIT is first choice, ahead of Alexi Boy, Holkham Bay and Star Of Lady M.

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.
