13:30 Kempton Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BURGLAR defied his inexperience when stealing a march on the opposition at Lingfield on his racecourse bow in February, and the manner of victory suggested the extra couple of furlongs would pose no concern. My Lion scored at the second attempt at Windsor in October when building nicely from her debut and she is likely to progress going up in trip. Radetsky Marsch, who placed on both outings last year, and Order Of Malta are both more than capable of being in the mix.

BURGLAR is bred to be smart and was talented enough to overcome obvious greenness when making a winning debut at Lingfield last month, well on top at the finish. On pedigree, this trip is sure to suit and he's expected to successfully concede weight all round. My Lion also won last time and could be useful, so she can chase the selection home.

There's little in it against three rivals in terms of form but Lingfield debut winner BURGLAR seems to bring clearly the most potential.

An intriguing Brocklesby to kick off the Lincoln meeting with several interesting juveniles lining up, but marginal preference lies with the Karl Burke-trained INDICATION CALL. His dam is a half-sister to Toocoolforschool, who landed the Mill Reef for this stable, and the son of first-season sire Soldier's Call could well make a pleasing start to his racing career. Valadero cost 250,000 euros as a yearling so must be feared, while Loaded Gun is just one other to bear in mind.

The market should provide plenty of clues for the curtain-raiser to the Turf Flat season, but the speedily-bred INDICATION CALL is an obvious place to start given the form of Karl Burke's juveniles last term. Valadero's sales price rose significantly from foal to yearling and he looks another likely type, while Loaded Gun is an interesting contender for Andrew Balding.

The Flat turf season is back and VALADERO, who has strong credentials, is taken to win the opener. Indication Call is feared most.

Secret State didn't appear to get home when tried over 1m6f at Ascot on his final outing after a productive campaign which saw him land valuable handicaps at Royal Ascot and Goodwood before finishing second in the Great Voltigeur. Gelded over the winter, he remains capable of another step forward, but the lack of a recent run sways the verdict in favour of TYRRHENIAN SEA. Runner-up to subsequent Dubai Turf hero Lord North in the Winter Derby on his return, he is more than likely to confirm that effort with Foxes Tales, who was one place behind, and it would be no surprise to see him progress again given his size and scope. Phantom Flight can be forgiven his final run of last season at Ayr which came after a huge performance at York's Ebor Festival and he's still of considerable interest going forward.

PHANTOM FLIGHT failed to meet expectations when tried at this level at Ayr but he's worth another chance with main threat Secret State possibly vulnerable back down in trip around here on return. Tyrrhenian Sea was beaten only by the high-class Lord North in the Winter Derby at Lingfield and is another to consider with race fitness on his side.

Something was amiss with PHANTOM FLIGHT when well beaten at 11-10 in Listed company on his final 3yo start and he can bounce back now.

A winner over C&D on her latest outing last month, a 5lb raised mark may not be enough to hold ATLANTIC DANCER back here and she is fancied to secure a double in this contest. Tonto Foley must hold every chance of building on his fourth at Newcastle when making his handicap debut in February, while Half The Freedom is capable of being in the mix.

TONTO FOLEY took a big step forward on his handicap debut when fourth at Newcastle last time out and is weighted to open his account here off an unchanged mark. C&D scorer Atlantic Dancer rates the chief threat to Christian Williams' lightly-raced sort, with Half The Freedom appealing as the pick of the rest for place purposes.

This might go to TONTO FOLEY, who needs to learn to settle better but caught the eye when tanking through most of his handicap debut.

Four-year-old JUPITER DU GITE is very well treated at these weights and could bounce right back to form. He was hugely impressive on his UK/hurdling debut at Newbury in December and can be forgiven a couple of lacklustre performances in Graded company at Cheltenham since the turn of the year. Like the selection, Samuel Spade struggled at the Cheltenham Festival on his latest outing but much better is expected here, while six-length Sandown scorer Beau Balko must also enter calculations.

BEAU BALKO turned a Sandown handicap into a one-sided affair in February, and while conceding a penalty in a fairly competitive novice will be no easy task, he could well be up to the job. Jupiter du Gite has his share of talent but is clearly a very difficult ride and it remains to be seen whether the removal of a hood will help, so Alien Storm is feared most.

This looks a tricky puzzle but BEAU BALKO is probably best placed to take advantage if Jupiter Du Gite again proves too headstrong.

14:25 Doncaster Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Arthur's Realm arrives following a fair showing at Newcastle on his return to action and he must enter calculations, despite competing off a figure 9lb higher than when winning this last year. However, BALTIMORE BOY remains unexposed and has every chance of building on a creditable second from his latest outing in a 0-90 classified event at Ascot in September. There should be a lot more to come from Michael Bell's four-year-old this season. Tropez Power and The Gatekeeper can also have a big say in proceedings.

TROPEZ POWER is thriving under the tutelage of John Quinn yet can race off a 1 lb lower mark than when an excellent Newcastle second last time out so is fancied to bag a third win of 2023. Course-scorer Broken Spear could emerge as the chief threat if, as expected, building on his comeback run with fine 5 lb claimer Billy Loughnane now in the saddle. Low-mileage duo Baltimore Boy and The Gatekeeper along with last year's winner Arthur's Realm complete the shortlist.

Provided he takes well to first-time headgear, DIRTYOLDTOWN may be the answer. Baltimore Boy is feared most.

MILLION THANKS produced his best effort since joining new connections when runner-up over C&D last month and the four-year-old gets the vote to go one better, despite receiving a 3lb rise from the handicapper. Brains has enjoyed a productive winter, winning twice in his last four outings, and warrants plenty of respect with William Buick booked for the ride, while others to note include Naval Commander and Stately Home.

NAVAL COMMANDER hasn't had a lot of racing for his age and, arriving on the back of a career-best effort when runner-up in a stronger race over C&D a couple of months ago, Robyn Brisland's charge gets the nod to notch career success number 4. Stately Home landed a first success on synthetics over C&D recently, so he's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Million Thanks.

Stockpyle is interesting at the likely odds but BRAINS has done well since the blinkers went back on and he gets the nod.

It could be worth siding with the grade-dropping MEXICO, who struggled in the EBF Final at Sandown last month. He has to shoulder 7lb penalty for an easy success which came over an extended 2m4f at Southwell in December, but there is every chance he may benefit from stepping up in trip. Sporting Ace has been knocking on the door of late and can give the selection plenty to think about, along with the Mark Bradstock-trained Mr Vango.

THE NEWEST ONE arrives in good nick and rates the pick on form so can gain a deserved first success in this sphere at the chief expense of Mexico who has his sights lowered here and can get back on track. Top Target and Mr Vango need considering too in a useful novice.

Thorough stayer SPORTING ACE scores very good marks for consistency and will presumably be ridden very positively again.

FEEL THE PINCH could give weight and a beating to these rivals. The nine-year-old was an impressive hurdles winner on his stable debut for Robbie Llewellyn at Bangor last week and, with a record of one from one in this sphere, everything points to another huge run. Fanzio is a two-time course scorer and was game in victory at Taunton last time. He has since left Richard Hobson to join Laura Hurley and must come into the reckoning, while The Grey Falco also holds claims.

THE GREY FALCO again caught the eye on his second start for this yard when third at Southwell 12 days ago, finishing with running left, and looks ready to take advantage of a career-low mark. Feel The Pinch won his only chase start at Bangor in November and has since made an impressive winning debut for this yard over hurdles there last week, so is the obvious threat.

It was better from THE GREY FALCO (nap) last time and he can make it third time lucky for the Ben Pauling yard.

Even though EL CABALLO failed to get involved when sent off joint-favourite for the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot, he is still a sprinter of immense potential and will be hard to beat on his first appearance since. He has run well fresh in the past and the way in which he won the Sandy Lane at Haydock on his penultimate outing is evidence of his quality. Asjad was only denied by a short head over C&D on his final start of 2022 and can make his mark outside of handicap company this season. Dual Stewards' Cup hero Commanche Falls completes the shortlist.

A starting point of the season for most of these and one that boasts an excellent record fresh is COMMANCHE FALLS. He gets the nod to enhance that statistic further and get the better of the prolific El Caballo, who hasn't been seen since finishing down the field in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot but faces far more suitable conditions for his return. Fast Response and Asjad are another couple worth keeping a close eye on.

A competitive Cammidge can go to ASJAD whose attractive profile includes excellent course form and an impressive record after a break.

Bandinelli (2022) and Sleeping Lion (2021) have won the last two renewals of this contest and they both merit consideration. That said, preference is for the unexposed AZTEC EMPIRE, who was an impressive winner over C&D on just his second start in handicap company last time. A 6lb rise will make his life tougher here but the son of Sea The Stars may have the improvement required to defy his current mark. Duty Of Care has won his last two starts over this track and trip and he should not be underestimated on his hat-trick bid.

AZTEC EMPIRE was suited by the step up in trip when recording a second course win of the year last time, scoring with a bit in hand, and he can follow up with further progress to come. The main danger could be Duty of Care, who arrives bidding to make it a hat-trick at this C&D, with Bandinelli completing the shortlist on his return.

Improvement will probably win it and there are two very strong candidates for that in AZTEC EMPIRE (nap) and Duty Of Care.

Even though COREY'S COURAGE finds herself in deeper waters here, she kept on to score by eight and a half lengths over an extended 2m4f at Huntingdon last month and can have another big say in proceedings. Western Jill remains unexposed and is entitled to build on what she has achieved so far on her handicap bow, while Marsh Wren completes the shortlist dropping in class.

COREY'S COURAGE had a next-time-out scorer behind in second when winning comfortably at Huntingdon last month and can make light of a 7 lb rise. Marsh Wren ought to find this easier than the big-field Carlisle Class 3 she contested last time and can give the selection most to do ahead of Lime Drop.

It's hard to get away from COREY'S COURAGE, who was far too good for her rivals at Huntingdon last month.

WEEBILL is very capable at this sort of level (four from seven in claiming/selling company) and was always doing enough when successful at Fakenham last time. The veteran performer is two from three under Daire Davis and the pair could team up to record another win. Captain Jack went well under this jockey at Wetherby recently and he is likely to give another good account, while 33/1 Chepstow scorer Ring The Moon must also have a squeak.

WEEBILL looks good for a fifth win in his last 8 starts. The returning Malina Ocarina can give him most to think about ahead of the selection's stablemate Hokelami.

Captain Jack comes here in form and can go well but this looks another suitable opportunity for WEEBILL.

AWAAL is the least exposed member of this year's Lincoln line-up and ran out an impressive winner at Redcar back in October. The Crisfords saddled the second in this prestigious handicap last term and they can go one better with the promising son of Lope De Vega, who won't mind the ground and has the services of James Doyle to call upon. A winner over C&D last September, Atrium must be a key player, along with Wanees, who was lightly raced last season but scored in two of his four starts. Al Mubhir and Montassib give William Haggas a strong hand, while Baradar and Bopedro can also have a say in proceedings.

Simon and Ed Crisford saddled the runner-up in this last year and are taken to go one better this time courtesy of AWAAL, who made a mockery of an opening mark of 93 at Redcar last autumn and surely has more to come after only 4 starts. Baradar immediately got his career back on track for the George Boughey yard here last backend and could have more to come for his new stable so he's second choice. Al Mubhir, whose trainer is seeking an outright record fifth win in this, is next on the list.

The very lightly raced AWAAL (nap) was seriously impressive when winning on his handicap debut at Redcar last October.

FIX YOU was an impressive debut winner last April before a respectable effort in a French Listed race the following month. The daughter of Night Of Thunder has been off the track since then but could prove to be a class above her rivals here. Trilby has improved with each start to date and edges out Grenham Bay and Due Date to be the pick of the remainder.

FIX YOU looked a good prospect when winning at Thirsk on debut last year and, after running below that level in a listed race next time, she is taken to get back on track with the step up in trip to suit on her reappearance. Trilby has been gelded since last seen and could be the one to give the selection most to think about, ahead of Grenham Bay.

The best is yet to come from Due Date but it may be worth chancing the fitness of FIX YOU who looked so promising on debut.

BLACKJACK MAGIC may have disappointed over further here last time out, but he was a convincing winner at Exeter before that and the drop in trip may only aid his cause on this occasion. The eight-year-old will relish the ground and should have too much for Lord Of Kerak, who has run with credit on both starts in this sphere. Ffos Las winner Real Stone could be interesting going back up in trip.

LORD OF KERAK left his chasing debut form well behind when beaten only by a progressive one at Wetherby 11 days ago (likely to have gone close had he not met the second last wrong) so has a big shout off the same mark. Real Stone looked suited by the drop to 2m when winning in good style at Ffos Las in January but he does stay this far so still rates the main threat back up in distance.

Preference is for BLACKJACK MAGIC, who beat a progressive mare in pretty good style at Exeter in January and is only 3lb higher here.

In an open event marginal preference is for DEDANSER, who has shown promise on his last couple of starts and is 2lb lower than when fourth at Ayr last time. Dellboy Trotter has strong form claims based on his second-placed finish at Fontwell in October. Lamanver Bel Ami has been off the track for over a year but should not be underestimated on his return to action.

DEDANSER seems to have found his level eased in the weights and, now fitted with blinkers and with this not a deep race despite the field size, this looks a good chance for him to double his career tally. Lamanver Bel Ami and Perfect Man have both moved yards since last seen and a handicapping case can be made for them, so the market may be revealing.

This could go to LAMANVER BEL AMI who has won on the last two occasions she has returned from a significant absence.

A winner in Group 3 company twice last season, TEMPUS sets the standard on the back of respectable efforts at Doha and Lingfield. Archie Watson's charge is 5lb clear of his closest rival on ratings and this appeals as an ideal opportunity to get off the mark for the campaign. Irish 2,000 Guineas third Imperial Fighter has not been seen in action since struggling in the Prix du Jockey Club, but remains one with potential as a four-year-old. The unbeaten Poker Face is another to note, along with Brunch, who has run well here before.

Having passed each of his 3 tests with flying colours so far, POKER FACE deserves a short at listed company, and with the ceiling of his ability yet to be ascertained, he's selected to remain unbeaten. Tempus was second in this a year ago and is just about the one to beat at the weights, with Tacarib Bay completing the shortlist given he has the benefit of a recent run under his belt.

Leading form contender Tempus hasn't been at his best the last twice and preference is for the unbeaten POKER FACE.

GIRL MAGIC ran to a consistent, solid level throughout her juvenile campaign and handled a Polytrack surface just fine when successful over this trip at Chelmsford last time. If anywhere near peak fitness on her seasonal/handicap debut, she looks sure to mount a bold bid. Dora Penny is entitled to improve for her comeback run at Lingfield last month and she merits consideration with Oisin Murphy aboard, similarly Cuban Breeze, who made a pleasing enough reappearance in 0-105 company at Wolverhampton.

CUBAN BREEZE enjoyed a prolific campaign last year and, with the benefit of a recent run now under her belt, is fancied to take this drop in grade in her stride at the chief expense of unexposed handicap debutante Girl Magic. The selection's stable companion Dora Penny is preferred to another handicap newcomer Cruise for third.

A trappy handicap in which CUBAN BREEZE is marginally preferred to her stablemate Dora Penny.

Last Quarter warrants plenty of consideration on the back of a gallant runner-up effort at Ffos Las, but preference instead is for course winner TIP TOP MOUNTAIN. Robert Walford's charge should have no issue with the step up in trip, being a former point-to-point winner, while his breeding points towards him improving for it as well. Margaret's Legacy is still coming to terms with his new surroundings, while the unexposed Gold Emery is another to note.

The lightly-raced GOLD EMERY left his chase bow well behind when runner-up at Newcastle 2 weeks ago and should improve again over this longer distance, so is narrowly preferred to Last Quarter, who also stepped up massively from his debut in this sphere when just failing at Ffos Las 10 days ago. Tip Top Mountain goes well around here so is another to consider.

As an unexposed sort who is open to progress back up in trip, GOLD EMERY holds very good claims. Last Quarter is feared most.

A case can be made for most of these but none more so than DOM OF MARY, who was only beaten a nose over 2m4f at Huntingdon last month and is just 2lb higher in the ratings. The recent C&D winner Go Steady is an obvious threat to the selection, while Vision Des Flos and Quoi De Neuf also merit places on the shortlist.

This drop back in trip looks a good move for QUOI DE NEUF, who was seemingly outstayed by the winner when hitting the crossbar over a trip just shy of 3m at Ludlow last time. He remains on a workable mark and promises to be suited by this sharp track. Vision des Flos is holding his form admirably well and is second choice ahead of recent C&D winner Go Steady and Dom of Mary.

Soft ground would leave some with more to prove but should not be a problem for last month's C&D winner GO STEADY.

This can go the way of ROOST, who shaped with plenty of promise on both starts last season and should be well suited by going up in trip. The son of Sea The Moon may have too much for Ribal, who ran with plenty of credit at Newmarket when last in action. Astrodome is a Sea The Stars colt out of impeccably-bred Musidora winner So Mi Dar and is one of two really interesting newcomers for the Gosdens, with the other being Carlton, a 350,000-euro son of Frankel.

John Gosden provides two well-bred newcomers and it might well be worth chancing CARLTON to make a winning start. Astrodome is from a tremendous family and any market support would be significant so far as he's concerned, while Ribal looks the best of those with experience.

The vote goes to RIBAL from a yard with a fine recent record in this race. Roost is feared and the newcomers much respected.

Simply Sondheim had won six in a row prior to finishing down the field in the Old Rowley Cup and he warrants plenty of respect on his return to action, but race-fitness could give CHANTICO the edge. He showed that he has improved from three to four years when making a winning comeback at Lingfield last month and this extra furlong can only be a positive. An opening mark of 84 may underestimate his ability, while first-time gelding Bizarre Law also merits shortlist inclusion on his reappearance.

CHANTICO scored in good style at Lingfield on his reappearance and shouldn't be overfaced by an opening mark of 84, especially with the prospect of further improvement likely. This is a tougher contest than Jenson Benson usualy contests but he arrives in good heart and looks on a fair mark, so is respected, whilst Lizzie Jean is very intriguing switched back the all-weather.

They are not the only ones of interest but this may well be between SIMPLY SONDHEIM and Chantico.

HAD TO BE HUGO has run with credit on all three starts over hurdles, including when runner-up last time at Hexham, and the six-year-old makes plenty of appeal with his attentions now switched to handicap company. Betterforeveryone remains open to improvement over timber despite falling at Plumpton when last seen, while On We Go completes the shortlist following her Ayr victory in February.

HAD TO BE HUGO looks the way to go on the back of a highly creditable effort in a Hexham maiden last month. The 6-y-o makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair mark and, with just a handful of runs under his belt, he probably has more to offer. The veteran Breizh Alko looks dangerouns but, if all is well following his departure at Plumpton last time, Betterforeveryone could be the one to pose most problems.

It's possible to make a case for several of these but the most attractive profile belongs to the lightly raced HAD TO BE HUGO (nap).

Lord Of Thunder and Mount Etna both showed promise between the flags and are others to note.

MOUNT ETNA showed plenty of ability in a point and has joined Nicky Henderson since, so he's fancied to make a successful switch to Rules. Lord of Thunder fits a similar mould and ranks as the main danger, while Banteer is the pick of those with bumper form.

Six of these found only one too good last time. Pick of the bunch could be BANTEER who shaped well when favourite at Exeter.

MRS MEADER ended last year by making it three victories from her last four starts with a career-best performance at Newbury in October. The drop back from 1m4f isn't likely to be an inconvenience and she is taken to handle a 5lb rise from the handicapper. Glory And Honour sports a first-time visor and is respected following a recent spin over hurdles at this track, while Aldbourne could have further progress to come, having struggled under a penalty here when last seen.

While she admittedly has a bit to prove, IVY AVENUE is on a good mark judged on her peak Irish form and could be worth chancing starting out for the shrewd Michael Appleby yard here, particularly if the market speaks in her favour. Mrs Meader and Aldbourne both improved last season and the former, who won 3 of her final 4 starts of the 2022 campaign, is feared most.

Glory And Honour is respected but preference is for ALDBOURNE who has conditions to suit on his return to action.

BRAZEN ARROW made a pleasing return to handicap company when filling the runner-up spot over this trip at Wolverhampton, and the fact he retains the mark from that run must make the Christine Dunnett-trained five-year-old of significant interest. Okeanos remains unexposed and can build on a fair display, also at Wolverhampton, last time out. He is feared most, just ahead of Vitralite on his return from Hong Kong.

This could be a lively betting heat given 3 of these have dropped a long way in the weights but the safest option is BRAZEN ARROW on the back of a runner-up effort a fortnight ago. Vitralite had a very unsuccessful period in Hong Kong but the assessor has given him a big chance back in Britain.

This should be much easier than VITRALITE has been accustomed to in Hong Kong and he can make a winning stable debut.

Cherie D'am was an easy winner of a point-to-point at Hexham in November and is likely to prove popular having joined Dan Skelton since that performance. The vote, though, goes to MISTRAL MILLY, who caught the eye on her first start when staying on into fourth at Ascot in February and she is likely to benefit greatly from that experience. Northern Reel and Braunton Burrows appeal most of the remainder.

NORTHERN REEL won an Irish point and her stable is well capable of readying one, so she takes marginal preference over Mistral Milly, who shaped well at Ascot on debut. Cherie d'Am also makes plenty of appeal on paper.

Preference is for MISTRAL MILLY who outran her odds in a big field at Ascot and seems likely to improve.

17:50 Doncaster Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

HIGHLIGHTER is open to a fair amount of improvement on his handicap debut and stepping back up in distance, with the booking of Billy Loughnane enhancing his claims further. Kalahari Prince can be forgiven his final effort last season as it came over a distance too far at Southwell. He is better judged on his Redcar success the time before and is capable of a decent showing. Others to note include Simulation Theory and Aone Ally.

AONE ALLY and handicap-debutant Highlighter both have low mileage and could be the pair to concentrate on. The latter has clearly been brought along with handicaps very much in mind and is not passed over lightly, but Aone Ally went close over this C&D on his latest start in this sphere and, while that was back in October 2021, he shaped as though plenty of ability remains when third over hurdles in February. Das Kapital and Peripeteia are each-way contenders.

The suggestion is AONE ALLY who shaped quite well in a hurdle on his return to action and was second over C&D on his latest Flat start.

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

A game winner over 1m4f at Southwell most recently, a 2lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop SCARBOROUGH CASTLE securing a double here and David Simcock's charge can have another big say in proceedings. He made every post a winning one on that occasion, so this shorter trip should not be enough to hold him back. Villalobos scored on his stable debut for Simon Hodgson and can give the selection plenty to think about. Medrara also warrants a market check.

MEDRARA benefitted from the fitting of a tongue strap when getting off the mark over C&D and can defy a 4 lb rise in the weights with more to come from this lightly-raced 4-y-o. Villalobos is feared most on the back of his Lingfield success for his new yard, with fellow C&D winner Persian Wolf appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

A chance is taken with last year's winner BOASTY, who has been running consistently well lately and takes a slight drop in grade.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

One For The Frog makes his handicap bow off a break and is entitled to build on a good second over 7f at Wolverhampton back in November, but preference lies with SHARVARA. The gelded son of Kingman also occupied the runner-up berth at Wolverhampton on his most recent outing and is fancied to go one better off the same mark. Crownthorpe and Prenup add further spice to the mix.

PRENUP edged out a next-time-out winner at Wolverhampton last month so can make light of a 1 lb nudge and make it 2-2 for new trainer Jane Capple-Hyam. The return to 1m will suit Sharvara who may provide the chief threat unless the market vibes are notably strong surrounding the Sean Woods handicap newcomer One For The Frog.

The vote goes to PRENUP (nap) whose successful stable debut at Wolverhampton last month has already been franked.

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

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

BOLD ACT improved with each start last year and there was a lot to like about the way he brushed aside the smart One Nation over this trip at Newmarket. Providing he's anywhere near peak fitness on his seasonal return, he looks sure to mount a bold bid. Iconic Moment has yet to taste defeat in three appearances and could confirm his Lingfield superiority over New Definition. Brave Emperor bravely held off Alzahir at Kempton and that pair look set for another good tussle.

While ICONIC MOMENT certainly doesn't appear to be short of speed, he shaped as though stepping up to a mile would be very much in his favour when overhauling stablemate New Definition close home over 7f at Lingfield last month. The best is probably yet to come from this colt and he is taken to maintain his 100% record. Godolphin's Bold Act improved with each of his 4 starts last season and is second choice ahead of recent Kempton 1-2, Brave Emperor and Alzahir.

A warm race, but the vote goes to the unbeaten ICONIC MOMENT who should appreciate the longer trip on a more galloping track.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

The vote goes to SHALAA ASKER, who backed up his three-parts-of-a length success in an amateur jockeys' handicap over C&D with a solid placed effort at Wolverhampton last week. He can remain competitive, despite a further 2lb rise in the ratings. Em Jay Kay arrives following a string of win and placed performances, and chased the selection home at Southwell. He is likely to be in the shake-up once again, with Impeach and the returning Beyond Equal others to keep an eye on.

In a competitive sprint the vote goes the way of the thriving SHALAA ASKER. The returning Beyond Equal has run well when fresh before and is down to a feasible mark so he's second choice ahead of Em Jay Kay and Impeach.

Shalaa Asker and Em Jay Kay are high on the list but BEYOND EQUAL starts his campaign on a tempting handicap mark.

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

An eyecatcher when second on his stable debut over C&D back in November, CAPTAIN WENTWORTH must hold every chance if building upon that career-best effort. He is likely to race prominently again and gets the vote ahead of Warminster, who faded into third over 7f at Kempton, and Talamanca, who was progressive last season and wasn't beaten far on his return at Lingfield. Kanawha and Pending Appeal are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

CAPTAIN WENTWORTH was suited by the drop in trip when runner-up on debut for this stable 149 days ago and, if the market vibes are positive, he's worth a chance to build on that and open his account. Warminster and Talamanca are a bit more exposed, but both rank as dangers.

A trappy affair in which PENDING APPEAL is taken to build on the promise of her reappearance at Kempton. Ignac Lamar is next best.

HEATH RISE hasn't managed to get his head in front since his triumph over C&D back in September 2021, but he remains handicapped to strike after a pair of solid seconds at Wolverhampton last month. David Simcock's five-year-old should be suited by dropping back from an extended 2m and is preferred to Testing Faith, who bounced back to form with a strong effort at Wolverhampton. Ask Peter and Eye Knee cannot be ruled out either.

HEATH RISE upped his game when runner-up here last time and he hasn't had much racing over this trip, so he's a confident choice to get back to winning ways. Testing Faith is the main danger and there's reason to think Smokey Malone might fare a bit better than he has on his two previous outings this year.

Runner-up on his last two starts, HEATH RISE may have the right opportunity to go one better. He has proved his stamina, unlike some.

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.
