16:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MEADRAM ran on well under today's rider when he landed a hands and heels event over C&D on his most recent start and a 3lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent the son of Mukhadram from following up. Fellow C&D winner First Dynasty also needs consideration as he steps back up in trip on his debut for a new yard. Similar comments apply to Mirabello Bay, who is another track-and-trip scorer who commands respect.

DIFFIDENT SPIRIT is on a lower AW mark and shaped better than the result (not clear run) when fifth at Wolverhampton last time, so he gets the tentative vote in an open-looking contest. Last-time-out C&D winner Meadram is a player along with Saved Lizzie.

The outside stall isn't ideal but MEADRAM is still taken to land a second successive C&D win under Alice Tregoning.

17:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

CLOTH OF GOLD found just one too good on both his previous starts over a mile but can make those experiences count now he takes a step up in trip. Mdawi, a stable companion of the selection, also appeals after he was denied a clear run over 1m at Lingfield most recently. James Fanshawe's newcomer Captain Robert is a half-brother to a couple of all-weather winners and needs a betting check.

CLOTH OF GOLD has the best form and should be able to see off stablemate Mdawi, who has the potential for better. Captain Robert makes appeal on pedigree and is one to note first time out.

Charlie Johnston can dominate this, with CLOTH OF GOLD preferred to last week's Lingfield third Mdawi.

17:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

TRUSTED ADVISOR, whose dam is a half-sister to a Listed winner over a mile, has an appealing pedigree and runs for a yard which knows the family well. Indeed, Sir Mark Prescott has a knack of finding the right races for fillies of this type and now could be a good time to side with the daughter of Ulysses as she steps up in trip. Orchestral Wave is also noted and Nobleman needs a betting check on his racecourse bow.

NOBLEMAN is from a top yard and related to a couple of winning stayers, so he might be able to make a successful start in a race where the bar isn't set very high. Trusted Advisor looks capable of better still and is feared most ahead of Epimeteo.

Sir Mark Prescott's TRUSTED ADVISOR leaves the impression she can pull out more now stepping up to 1m2f and gets the vote.

18:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CIRCUS OF ROME benefited from his debut performance when filling the runner-up spot at Lingfield at the start of the month and Richard Hughes' gelding is likely to prove a tough nut to crack in his attempt to shed the maiden tag. San Juanito shaped with promise when fifth at Kempton on his first start and is likely to go well along with Cabelleroso, who makes his first appearance since finishing a beaten favourite at Doncaster in June.

CIRCUS OF ROME stands out clearly on form and has the scope to do better still, so he's a straightforward choice, with Cabelleroso the likeliest to capitalise if the selection fluffs his lines. San Juanito remains with potential and isn't completely ruled out.

A drop in trip gives him a bit more to prove but CIRCUS OF ROME still presents much the strongest case following his recent close call.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

FLAINE has stepped forward considerably since winning at Southwell at the beginning of November with a pair of runner-up efforts proving that success was no fluke. The return to a mile is unlikely to pose any concerns and she gets the vote ahead of Good Call, who drops back to a mile after tackling 1m2f when fourth here last time. Others for the shortlist include No Release and Aneedah Hero.

FLAINE has proved to be a different proposition since fitted with a tongue tie, off the mark at Southwell prior to posting good runner-up efforts on each of her last 2 starts. With the return to this 1m trip expected to suit, David Loughnane's filly is fancied to make another bold bid. Borderline Madness and No Release may provide chief resistance.

She's not the only one to consider seriously but FLAINE has clearly the most solid achievements in this field.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Christian David went up 4lb for his latest success at Goodwood in June and remains open to further improvement on his return to action. Kingdom Come has been given a chance by the handicapper, with the five-year-old only 1lb higher than his last winning mark, but EMPIRESTATEOFMIND might be the answer. A winner at York on his penultimate outing, he wasn't disgraced subsequently at the Curragh and he remains feasibly treated.

DIDEROT boasts an excellent record when fresh and, lining up here operating from the same mark as when taking this prize 12 months ago, it would come as no surprise to see him primed for a big run following a 4-month break. Kingdom Come is entitled to be sharper for his run at Kempton and can be seen to much better effect from a handy draw on this occasion. Blue Prince caught the eye at Lingfield and is another in the mix in a competitive affair.

A wide draw offers KINGDOM COME (nap) an excuse in a hot race at Kempton last time and he'll make a bold bid if back to his best.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A comfortable winner over 2m here in October and runner-up over hurdles at Plumpton last time out, SULLIVAN BAY arrives in great shape and he looks capable of notching up a third career success. That may come at the main expense of Shaad, who has done well since joining the James Owen yard and should appreciate dropping back in trip. Arch Legend can be expected to go well too.

Preference is for SULLIVAN BAY, who has been in good form on the level and over hurdles. He remains on a workable mark. Arc Zoosve and Shaad can also make their presence felt.

Having performed well on all three starts for his current yard, SULLIVAN BAY is taken to enhance his 2-3 record at this track.

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Turned out again quickly after a taking success over C&D last week, HIATUS is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and can overcome a 5lb penalty in his bid for the double. Fiscal Policy arrives in the form of his life after successes at Newcastle and Wolverhampton and he must enter calculations, along with old rival Aberama Gold and the unexposed Perennial.

HIATUS was an easy winner here last week and a 5 lb penalty may not be sufficient to prevent the follow up. Fiscal Policy and Aberama Gold rate the principal dangers.

Bargain buy FISCAL POLICY can confirm recent Wolverhampton superiority over Aberama Gold and make it 5-9 since joining Ruth Carr.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

WAR CHANT wasn't suited by hold-up tactics last time out at Wolverhampton and is better judged on his success over C&D when making all two starts ago. Rae Guest's charge may not be the most consistent, but he is narrowly preferred to His Finest Hour, who makes his handicap debut following a determined success at Wolverhampton in October. At Vimeiro and Etretat are likely to have a say in proceedings as well.

There should be more to come from HIS FINEST HOUR, who got off the mark at the second time of asking at Wolverhampton in October and begins handicapping on a fair mark. Etretat and War Chant should also go well.

Charlie Johnston's ETRETAT has quite a solid AW record and that earns him the vote over AW novice winner His Finest Hour.

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.
