6/5(+56%)
(6) Suitably Surprised 6/5, Runner-up on her final outing in points and left previous efforts under Rules behind when second over C&D from out of the weights 9 days ago. Now 4 lb lower and is an obvious player.
Second to thriving rival over C&D nine days ago and effectively 4lb lower this time.

(1) I'm Too Tired 16/1, Breakthrough success in this sphere came here in January. Hasn't fired since but worthy of a market check back at this track after 6 months off.
2m4f course winner in January but absent since a poor 3m run in April.

Love True

7/1(-250%)
(3) Love True 7/1, Fairly useful Flat winner at up to 13f in France. Improved on previous efforts in this sphere when third in a novice at Huntingdon 7 months ago and has the scope for better on handicap debut. Big player on comeback.
Triple Flat winner in France; placed twice over hurdles in Britain; handicap debut today.

Inoue

Three Platoon

28
28/1(-229%)
(4) Three Platoon 28/1, Out of form when last seen in this sphere and failed to beat a rival on the Flat recently, so needs blinkers to have a positive effect if he's to make his presence felt.
Dual AW winner this autumn but tailed off when back over hurdles; others look safer.

12:05 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

LOVE TRUE took a big step forward when third at Huntingdon (winner followed up next time and second rated 124) and she makes plenty of appeal starting handicap life off a mark of 95, especially as Ben Smith takes a handy 8lb off her back. Foster's Fortune has posted a couple of solid placed efforts since winning over C&D in May and will likely give another good account, while Suitably Surprised also merits consideration following her recent track-and-trip second.

LOVE TRUE showed improvement when last seen 7 months ago and, based on her French Flat form, she could be well in here, so she's preferred to Suitably Surprised, who ran well over C&D (from out of the weights) last time and is now able to race from a lower mark. Foster's Fortune is another one to consider.

Foster's Fortune is respected but SUITABLY SURPRISED (nap) took a good step forward when second over C&D last week and gets the nod.

Typhoon Flyer

1.875
15/8(+53%)
(13) Typhoon Flyer 15/8, Fairly useful form when placed all 3 starts in bumpers and shaped well on hurdles debut when third of 14 in a Ffos Las maiden (2½m, good) in May. Not at the same level back from a break at Worcester but he probably needed that and this drop in trip could prove to be a good thing.
Placed in bumpers/2m4f maiden hurdles; drop in trip may help this keen goer; sets standard.

2nd (5) Inishnabro (8/1 -60%)
Inishnabro

8
8/1(-60%)
(5) Inishnabro 8/1, Half-brother to a couple of winning hurdlers and won by a wide margin on the second of his 2 runs between the flags. Yard's strike rate over hurdles is pretty modest (stable enjoys more success over the larger obstacles) but he's one to note in the betting nonetheless.
£43,000 buy after Irish point win in April; interesting to see what betting makes of him.
11
3rd (11) Sun Art (13/2 +28%)
Sun Art

6.5
13/2(+28%)
(11) Sun Art 13/2, Hooded on debut (retained here) when coming home an encouraging enough sixth of 12 in a 2m Worcester bumper. Entitled to come on for that and he's well worth a second look now switched to hurdles.
Showed ability on last month's bumper debut and no shock if he goes well on hurdle debut.

Achille Des Rocs

22
22/1(-120%)
(1) Achille Des Rocs 22/1, €80,000 3-y-o, Coastal Path gelding. Dam 2¼m hurdle/chase winner. Placed 3 times from 5 starts in maiden points and it'll be interesting to see which way he goes in the betting.
Placed on three of five starts in Irish points; the betting should guide now hurdling.
4
5th (4) Dark Mix (5/1 +9%)
Dark Mix

5
5/1(+9%)
(4) Dark Mix 5/1, Narrowly prevailed in a 5-runner bumper on debut here last December, despite being sent off the outsider of the quintet. Struggled at Warwick the following month but that was in a significantly stronger race (also wasn't helped by taking a circuitous route) and he's of interest now hurdling.
Course bumper winner on soft last winter; interesting hurdle newcomer.

6th (7) Jingle Jangle Jet (125/1 -25%)
Jingle Jangle Jet

125
125/1(-25%)
(7) Jingle Jangle Jet 125/1, Showed modest form in a couple of bumpers but there have been no positives at all to take from his efforts over hurdles so far.
Showed a bit in bumpers in 2023 but well held on completed start over hurdles this autumn.

Jack Hoola

(6) Jack Hoola 66/1, Bought for £58,000 after finishing runner-up sole start in Irish points but sent off at 66/1 and was never really in the hunt on Rules debut in a Uttoxeter novice last month.
Second in Irish point but well held on last month's Uttoxeter hurdle debut.

No promise in two points and never involved when sixth of seven on recent hurdle debut.
9
9th (9) Rochester Brinks (200/1 -300%)
Rochester Brinks

200
200/1(-300%)
(9) Rochester Brinks 200/1, Pulled up sole start in Irish points and it would be an understatement to say that he looked somewhat recalcitrant on Rules debut in a Uttoxeter bumper (pulled very hard and ran out before the halfway point). Hood worn that day is retained for this hurdles bow.
Pulled up in point and hung violently right and ran off course in bumper on rules debut.
10
|PU| (10) Spirit Of Kinsale (9/4 -20%)
Spirit Of Kinsale

2.25
9/4(-20%)
(10) Spirit Of Kinsale 9/4, €115,000 3-y-o. Half-brother to 4 winners, including Welsh Grand National winner The Two Amigos, and fair hurdler/fairly useful chaser De Forgotten One. Obvious appeal on paper for in-form yard and confidence behind him in the betting would look highly significant.
Rather belated debut but well bred and in-form yard gets lots of winners here.
3
|PU| (3) Chilled Out (33/1 +50%)
Chilled Out

33
33/1(+50%)
(3) Chilled Out 33/1, Winner of back-to-back 1¼m handicaps on first 2 runs for this yard during the spring. However, form has nosedived pretty badly since and, having offered little in half-a-dozen hurdles starts in Ireland, he is opposable back in this sphere.
Dual Flat winner but didn't show much over hurdles when trained in Ireland.
2

Chantilly Moon

200
200/1(+0%)
(2) Chantilly Moon 200/1, Made frame on first of 2 starts in bumpers but pulled up both appearances over hurdles to date. Hooded on debut in this sphere prior to also tried in a tongue strap last time but goes without headgear this time.
Pulled up in two hurdles this autumn and can only watch.

12:20 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

An open contest, but DARK MIX won a bumper here at the end of 2023 and the son of Black Sam Bellamy is likely to prove competitive now hurdling. The headstrong Typhoon Flyer has placed on both starts over hurdles so far and can improve on his third at Worcester in September if settling better, while Sun Art is one to note on his hurdling debut.

As a half-brother to a Welsh Grand National winner it could be that SPIRIT OF KINSALE will also be at his best when eventually tackling the larger obstacles and faced with a stiffer test. Still, there is enough in his pedigree to suggest that there will be races to be won with him over hurdles in the meantime and the hint should be taken if the market speaks in his favour. Typhoon Flyer is feared most, while Kingsley and Sun Art can both be expected to leave their debut form well behind in time.

Typhoon Flyer is best of those with hurdle experience but doesn't set the bar high and is taken on with bumper winner DARK MIX.

1/6(+33%)
(2) Jet Of Dreams 1/6, Got off the mark in 9-runner handicap chase at Hereford and improved again back from a break when following up at Sedgefield. Good placed efforts next 2 starts and excellent chance of resuming winning ways.
Two wins over fences already this season and excellent chance of another.

7/2(-17%)
(1) Thirtyfour Thirty 7/2, Bumper/hurdles winner but offered little on return after 4 months off at Wincanton 4 weeks ago. Switches to fences now.
Well held back from break last month and takes on an experienced rival on chase debut.

12:30 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

JET OF DREAMS got up for second in this grade at Huntingdon earlier in the month and competes off the same rating. Warren Greatrex's six-year-old remains in good heart and might only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to regain the winning thread. Thirtyfour Thirty failed to fire on his first start for the Anthony Charlton stable, but he now makes his chasing bow and could put up a good fight.

An excellent opportunity for the in-form JET OF DREAMS to resume winning ways up against a chase debutant who offered little on his comeback over hurdles last month.

This looks a gilt-edged opportunity for JET OF DREAMS to gain a third chase win.

Mill Street

2.5
5/2(+9%)
(2) Mill Street 5/2, Made frame on 3 of 4 starts in US Flat maidens and showed plenty to work on sent hurdling when runner-up at Newton Abbot in June. Sent off a well-backed favourite but fell well short of expectations at Stratford (16.3f, good) the following month but worth chancing to get back on track.
Flat maiden in USA; second on jumps debut but well beaten last time; quite interesting.

2nd (8) Masonbrook Meadow (4/1 +38%)
Masonbrook Meadow

4
4/1(+38%)
(8) Masonbrook Meadow 4/1, Fair maiden on Flat (stays 1¼m) who hit the frame on first 4 starts over hurdles. However, she ran badly in a much deeper event than she'd previously contested at Wincanton (15.2f, good) last month but can get back on track returned to calmer waters.
Some promise over hurdles, but not progressed and pulled up last time; bit to prove now..

Malinka

4/1(+53%)

Disappointed under a penalty at Market Rasen the following month and finished well held back on the level at Catterick recently. Hood applied.
Won at Cartmel on jumps debut but well beaten both starts since; could bounce back.

4th (5) Trafalgar Square (11/2 +31%)
Trafalgar Square

5.5
11/2(+31%)
(5) Trafalgar Square 11/2, Fair maiden at up to 1½m on the Flat and showed an aptitude for hurdling when second of 12 in juvenile at Market Rasen in June. Pretty disappointing in both codes since, however, first-time blinkers failing to have the desired effect at Newcastle (16.2f, good) a fortnight ago.
Modest on the Flat; winner on jumps debut but hasn't progressed (tried blinkers latest).

Modest on the Flat; well held over C&D on jumps debut; others appeal more.

(3) On The Bubble 50/1, 1m Flat winner at Redcar in May and made a successful start over hurdles at Hexham (2m, soft) the following month. Little encouragement to glean from 3 subsequent starts (previous 2 on the level last month) so the percentage call is to look elsewhere.
1m Flat winner; won modest event on jumps debut but has been well beaten since.

(6) Vinny's Dream 2/1, Fair form on Flat, running at least as well as previously when third in novice at Chelmsford (10f) 5 weeks ago, no extra final 100 yds. Worth a second look on hurdling debut for a yard adept with similar types in recent seasons.
Lightly raced Flat maiden; best run at 1m2f on AW; quite interesting on jumps debut.

1m3f Flat winner in July; worth considering on jumps debut with tongue-tie tried.

12:40 Sedgefield Conditions Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

A chance is taken on VINNY'S DREAM, who has earned a rating of 73 on the Flat with three decent enough efforts and he looks the sort that should take to this sphere. It's also encouraging that his stable are currently two from three with their hurdle runners at this venue. Mill Street is interestingly Ben Pauling's only runner on the card and may bounce back from a disappointing effort at Stratford, while Masonbrook Meadow also holds claims on her best form.

MILL STREET fell well short of expectations at Stratford in July but having been freshened up since, Ben Pauling's charge is fancied to go one better than on hurdling debut at the expense of Vinny's Dream, who has run to a fair level on the Flat and represents a trainer adept with similar types in juvenile hurdles. Masonbrook Meadow can edge out Malinka for third.

Although disappointing last time MALINKA showed a fair level of form when winning on his hurdles debut and is taken to bounce back.

Won 3m Irish point on debut in May; that form possibly nothing special; check betting.

Pulled up in both maiden hurdles and recent wind op needs to make big difference.

12:55 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

A bumper winner at Warwick, RULA BULA finished runner-up in a Listed bumper at Sandown in March. A bold bid looks on the cards if translating that ability to hurdling and she gets a confident vote. Zarhanya finished with a late flourish in a Cheltenham bumper on her debut in April and is another likely to improve now tackling hurdles for the first time, while point-to-point winner Natus Vincere is related to winning hurdlers in France and is respected.

Given the level of ability she showed in bumpers, RULA BULA will likely prove hard to beat now upped in trip for this hurdles debut, provided of course that her jumping passes the test. Natus Vincere was a clear-cut winner of an Irish maiden point and she is respected given her status as that of an unknown quantity, while Zarhanya showed definite signs of ability in a Cheltenham bumper during the spring and she could be seen in a better light now hurdling and faced with a stiffer test.

This looks a good chance for useful bumper performer RULA BULA to become another maiden/novice hurdle winner from the O'Neill stable.

Winless to date in this sphere but did produce one of his better recent efforts when fourth of 15 in handicap at Exeter (18.5f) 23 days ago. However, not for the first time he didn't look entirely straightforward under pressure.
It wasn't a bad latest run at Exeter when a 14l fourth of 15; each-way claims.

Won twice on the Flat in France but a disappointing hurdler; lots to prove.

Down 3lb in future and only previous hurdle win came in a three-runner race.

13:05 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f  Race Class Flow

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

Ugo Bingo made the frame on his handicap debut at Fakenham last month and should mount a bold bid in a first-time tongue-tie. However, it may pay to side with AMERICAN LAND, who ran too bad to be true when pulled up on his chasing debut at Wincanton last time. If the six-year-old can bounce back, it would be no surprise to see him score off a mark of 98 back over hurdles. Mordred is another to consider.

Having run well to finish placed on his first 2 starts over fences for new connections this summer, MORDRED hasn't been seen to best effect on each of his last 2 starts in that sphere. He could be worth chancing switched back to timber, with Ugo Bingo and American Land a couple of the likelier dangers. Phoenix Risen is another not dismissed back at this venue.

Joe Tizzard's AMERICAN LAND needs to put a poor chase debut behind him but his previous third in a maiden hurdle was encouraging.

13:15 Sedgefield Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Dropped into class 5 company for the first time since winning easily at Southwell in June, NEIGH BOTHA is fancied to give weight and a beating to these rivals. He certainly wasn't disgraced in a 0-120 event, also at Southwell, most recently and the handicapper has been kind in dropping him 3lb in the ratings since. Natural Ability might have been freshened up by a recent stable switch and a repeat of his penultimate fourth over C&D should put him on the premises. A switch to fences may spark some improvement from the four-year-old Cofficionado.

NEIGH BOTHA is creeping back down to his last winning mark so gets the vote down in class. Natural Ability and Miss Fedora are feared most in a weak event.

Despite his patchy profile over hurdles a chance is taken on COFFICIONADO on his chase debut. Neigh Botha is next best.

13:30 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f  Race Class Flow

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

KELCE was caught in the closing stages at Hexham last week having led for most of the way and Neil Mulholland's inmate looks to have solid claims of going one better off his current mark. Moon Hunter faces an easier task than when fourth at Chepstow last month and first-time cheekpieces may bring about some improvement, while Montregard returned a losing favourite at Wetherby on his chasing bow but should be wiser for that run.

KELCE has produced two bold front-running performances since tackling the larger obstacles and he is taken to make it third time lucky in this sphere. Forget Montregard's chase debut display at Wetherby, as this half-brother to top-class performer Protektorat will likely leave that form well behind here and he is the clear main danger. Moon Hunter has the ability to feature if responding well to the first-time headgear but Inoui Machin's debut effort over fences was somewhat inauspicious.

Preference is for KELCE who has been a good second on his two recent starts and is taken to get off the mark.

13:40 Taunton Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

TUXEDO JUNCTION improved on his first start over hurdles to occupy the runner-up berth at Wincanton last time and he could take another step forward. David Pipe's five-year-old looks to have been found an ideal opportunity and can open his Rules account. Kauto The King sets the standard with a rating of 110 and is an interesting contender switching back to hurdles from fences, while Loki's Mischief is another to note.

TUXEDO JUNCTION stepped up a little on his hurdling debut effort when runner-up in a big-field novice at Wincanton 18 days ago and, with further progress in the offing, he looks the way to go. 10-y-o Kauto The King is better known as a fair handicap chaser but may well emerge as the chief threat returned to smaller obstacles.

This looks an excellent opportunity for TUXEDO JUNCTION to go one better than at Wincanton last month.

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

DEVON SKIES bumped into a useful prospect when a well-held second over 2m1f at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and a repeat of that form may be good enough in this company. That said, Dazzlelikethis showed ability despite falling on her only start between the flags and she should not be underestimated on her Rules debut. Others to note are Winds Of Winter and Trysting Thorn.

Representing last year's winning trainer/jockey combination, DAZZLELIKETHIS held every chance when falling at the last in an Irish point and she could be capable of making a successful start over hurdles. Devon Skies bumped into a promising type on her second outing over hurdles and is feared most, ahead of Reel Rosie.

The vote goes to the Flat winner REEL ROSIE who should improve on her Uttoxeter effort. Devon Skies is next best.

Kankin bumped into a subsequent winner when finishing runner-up over an extended 2m3f at Plumpton on his return last month and, off an unchanged mark, he must enter calculations for all that a more fluent round of jumping will be required. EYED is narrowly preferred. He made a pleasing start to life with this stable when finishing second over 2m4f at Wincanton recently and, off the same mark with the promise of more to come, he looks the one to be with. Zmiinyi is noted too.

EYED couldn't match strides with Camino Rocio on debut for Hughie Morrison at Wincanton but, with the winner going in again off a 7 lb higher mark at Huntingdon this week, that form looks solid. The 7-y-o is taken to go one better here. Kankin did little wrong when runner-up at Plumpton last time and he should go well. Zmiinyi is interesting now switched to fences and merits respect, along with each-way players Caro des Flos, The Electrician and Unwanted Attention.

Alex Hales is among the winners and KANKIN (nap) is taken to go one better than when a clear second at Plumpton last month.

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

Tout Sur Moi sets the standard with an official rating of 106. The five-year-old ought to hold every chance if running to that mark today, but GORE POINT looks a real danger. Anthony Honeyball's charge made all to win a bumper at Stratford last month and should Rex Dingle employ similar tactics on this hurdling bow, the gelding might be tough to peg back. Joe Tizzard has started the season in flying form and four-time Flat winner Alexei should be monitored in the betting market with that in mind.

GORE POINT got firmly back on track after 10 months off when making all in a 5-runner Stratford bumper 38 days ago and he gets the narrow vote now hurdling with his yard continuing amongst the winners. Tout Sur Moi remains open to improvement in this sphere and has to be factored in. Alexei, a fairly useful, multiple winner on the level in Germany also commands respect, particularly if strong in the betting on debut for Joe Tizzard.

Tout Sur Moi sets the standard but it's not an insurmountable one and this could go the way of German Flat winner ALEXEI.

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

Zwicky has to be of interest having won over 2m5f here last month, but this step up in trip is a slight concern. With that in mind, preference is for ILLOGICAL LOGIC, who was second off this mark at Fakenham a couple of weeks ago and he may improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces. The rest all have questions to answer, but Lady Mendoza is the pick of them.

ILLOGICAL LOGIC is getting the hang of things over fences now and this looks a good opportunity if he responds well to the cheekpieces. Zwicky is the obvious threat in a thin event.

This longer trip should prove ideal for ZWICKY who is taken to follow up his 2m5f course win. Illogical Logic is next best.

14:40 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Point-to-point and bumper winner TRIBAL GLORY has hit the woodwork on his last couple of runs, but he has hinted at a decent level of ability on numerous occasions. Pitched into handicap company for the first time, he could return to winning ways here. Bread And Butter is officially 6lb well-in after a Hereford victory last week in a conditional jockeys' race, and he should prove popular. Kosasiempre is also noteworthy.

BREAD AND BUTTER capitalised on a falling mark with something to spare in a conditionals race at Hereford 10 days ago and, having escaped a penalty, he's worth a chance to go in again under the same rider. Tribal Glory and Kosasiempre look the main dangers.

Bread And Butter escapes a penalty for his recent win but this could go to KOSASIEMPRE, who is undefeated in two visits here.

14:50 Taunton Handicap Chase (Class 5) 23f  Race Class Flow

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

School For Scandal defeated Jony Max, who went on to record success of his own at Warwick next time, at Wincanton last month. The latter might be 2lb well-in under a penalty, but he is worse off with School For Scandal and might need more to reverse the form. Both merit respect, but it is LOCK OUT who shades preference. A comfortable winner at Chepstow last month, David Pipe's charge seemingly missed a golden opportunity to follow up quickly when turned over at Hereford three days later. However, he's back up in trip and should go very close.

SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL isn't the most reliable but he held off subsequent winner Jony Max by 1½ lengths at Wincanton 4 weeks ago and is 5 lb better off with that rival here. Lock Out is worth another chance to build on his winning return having had excuses at Hereford.

Last week's Warwick winner JONY MAX (nap) has turned a corner and, although penalised, he's still very well handicapped on old form.

15:00 Sedgefield Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f  Race Class Flow

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

It is hard to oppose CLEAN GETAWAY, who followed up his chase win last month with an impressive hurdles victory over 2m1f here last week. The seven-year-old does not have to carry a penalty for that success and is 10lb well-in as a result. Blended Stealth is likely to be in the mix once again, while Sefton Warrior could make the frame if back to his best.

MORANDI SECOND posted an impressive display to score on the Flat last time and, with blinkers retained, he makes plenty of appeal back in this sphere. Clean Getaway, off the same mark as when scoring here last week, and Blended Stealth are dangerous.

There is no strong temptation to oppose CLEAN GETAWAY, who escapes a penalty for his comfortable course win nine days ago.

15:15 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

NO WORRIES was doing his best work late on when coming clear of the field to land the spoils over an extended 2m3f at Huntingdon last month and, stepping back up in trip, he gets the nod to make light of a 7lb rise. Perth scorer Happy Index is respected most of the remainder despite a 9lb hike, while East Eagle found only a subsequent winner too good over this track and trip last month and also commands respect.

Last-time-out winners HAPPY INDEX and No Worries could dominate this, with preference for the former, who is the less exposed of the pair. Western Glen has been holding her form well and should make her presence felt if none the worse for a recent fall here.

The lightly raced 5yo GEORDIE NIGHT retains potential and is taken to make a winning return now back on better ground.

15:25 Taunton Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 19f Race Class Flow

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

HEDERA PARK benefitted from a patient ride when landing a big-field handicap at Chepstow recently, an effort for which Debra Hamer's mare must shoulder a 7lb penalty. Callum Pritchard negates that burden in the plate courtesy of his claim and she appears to have been handed a fine opportunity. Linda Moon has few miles on the clock and looks set to improve for a step up in trip, while Getmetothemoon is another to consider.

GETMETOTHEMOON was still to be asked for her effort when falling 3 out at Stratford on her most recent outing in July and remains unexposed, so she makes plenty of appeal returning from a break with her yard amongst the winners. Hedera Park is respected under a penalty for last week's Chepstow success, with handicap-debutant Sweet Caryline also of interest.

This is open despite the small field. LINDA MOON could be an improver over this longer trip and is worth chancing.

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

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

MRS DOWLEY shaped with considerable promise when third over 6f on her racecourse bow at Wolverhampton on Monday. Michael Bell's juvenile ought to improve for the step up in trip and, from a handy draw, she can go in at the second time of asking. Magic Glow failed to build on a promising debut performance but she can undoubtedly play a leading role if racing more amenably this time around. Of the newcomers, Queen Sansa and Casual Encounter make the greatest appeal.

Having showed ability when runner-up on debut, MAGIC GLOW wasn't seen to best effect when seventh in a Wolverhampton maiden over this sort of trip 6 weeks ago. She's worth another chance from a handy draw with Rossa Ryan in the plate. Mrs Dowley can emerge as the chief threat of the others with experience. Antalya, Casual Encounter and Queen Sansa are a trio of newcomers to note in the betting for clues.

Although she disappointed last time, the suggestion is MAGIC GLOW, who showed fair form here on debut and gets the nod.

17:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Space Trooper hit the woodwork at Newcastle last month and ought to be more than capable of going one better, but a chance can be taken on WAITING FOR LOVE. The Muharaar filly has all-weather winners in her pedigree and the fact that James Doyle arrives here for just this ride is perhaps a tip in itself. Needlepoint made a winning racecourse debut at Chantilly last June and warrants a market check on her return from a lengthy absence.

NEEDLEPOINT looked potentially useful when making a winning debut as a 2-y-o at Chantilly last summer and can defy a penalty despite her long absence. The progressive Space Trooper is next best.

Easily most seems to depend on whether NEEDLEPOINT returns on song after the 515-day absence following her winning debut in France.

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

After a couple of close-up seconds on the all-weather earlier in the year, ARCTIC DAWN shaped with promise when third on his handicap debut off 1lb higher at Doncaster last month. That form has been boosted by the runner-up scoring since and this unexposed three-year-old has scope for improvement following that first run in over seven months. That said, Ultramarine continues to run with credit and he looks sure to mount another stern challenge, along with C&D winner Airshow.

Low-mileage 3-y-o ARCTIC DAWN just about matched his previous best on the back of an 8-month absence when third on handicap debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Remaining with potential back on synthetics, he could be the answer. Last year's winner Riot arrives on the back of a solid run at Wolverhampton and rates a big threat. Ultramarine is another to consider.

This can go to ULTRAMARINE (nap) who ran well over 6f at Kempton last time and he'll be suited by the return to this longer trip.

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

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

Flaine made a highly encouraging start for the David Loughnane yard when scoring by a length over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and she should go well, despite her 6lb penalty. However, a chance can be taken on STORMY LADY, who has failed to fire in her three starts to date but she might prove a different proposition now tackling nurseries. With the booking of Rossa Ryan catching the eye, she could produce an upset. Any market confidence behind Follow Your Dream would be interesting.

STORMY LADY and Manara can both be expected to up their game now switched to a low-grade nursery, with marginal preference for the former. Respiro Solitario will be a threat if able to build in his creditable Wolverhampton effort, while Cassandraalexandra and recent Southwell winner Flaine are others to consider.

It's worth siding with MANARA who has shown ability and should be suited by the step up to this trip on nursery debut.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

Kessaar Power was denied by just a short head when second over 7f at this venue last week and he holds an obvious chance off an unchanged mark, but DASHING DONKEY makes slightly more appeal. William Stone's three-year-old hit the crossbar in this grade at Yarmouth last month and competes off only a 1lb higher rating this evening. With a repeat of that performance, he could be the one to beat. Elterwater is another to keep an eye on.

This drop back in trip could be just the ticket for ELTERWATER, who understandably wilted in the closing stages upped to middle distances in handicaps at Southwell and Kempton last winter. Provided she is ready to roll following an eight-month absence, she could prove hard to peg back if again ridden aggressively. Kessaar Power quickly returned to form when going close here last week and he looks set for another bold show. Dashing Donkey is another in-form contender with appealing claims.

This can go to dual turf winner DASHING DONKEY, who ran well at this venue in September and is capable of better.

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

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

FLYING FLETCHER struck in smart style in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and he might have plenty more to offer on only his fifth handicap start. The son of Muhaarar carries a 6lb penalty but that may not be enough to prevent him going in again. Fantasy Master was successful in a stronger contest than this at Nottingham last month and provided he can transfer that form to the all-weather, then he could have a say. Happy Tears completes the shortlist.

FLYING FLETCHER was well on top at the finish at Newcastle 9 days ago and, with more to come, he's preferred to Fantasy Master, who returns to the AW from a lower mark having scored off 5 lb higher at Nottingham recently. Daytona Lady can also be considered.

In a tricky handicap it could be worth going with SHE'S CENTIMENTAL, who starts life with her new stable on a handy mark.

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

War Zone has to be respected having got off the mark over C&D two weeks ago, but the three-year-old could be vulnerable off his new mark. With that in mind, preference is for MARCUS, who was beaten half a length into third that day and is 3lb better off with the winner. Battle Point edges out Enchanted Night and Suanni to be the pick of the rest.

SUANNI hasn't been quite at his best of late but wasn't discredited last time and he's been dropped a couple of pounds, so he's worth taking a chance on from a good draw. War Zone and Marcus were ahead of the selection that day and they're likely to feature.

Darryll Holland's SUANNI made all on the previous occasion he was partnered by Rossa Ryan and gets the vote from a good draw.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SEMSER was only beaten a neck when second in a selling handicap over course and distance last month and that form gives him a big chance here, despite a 1lb rise. Sunset In Paris is an obvious threat to the selection having won two of his last three starts on the level, while Mhajim and River Alwen are others who merit a place on the shortlist.

GLOBAL RESOLVE has dropped to a tempting mark so could be worth chancing in a change of headgear. Mhajim and Semser were both arguably unlucky last time and they head the dangers.

Sunset In Paris and SEMSER stand out in this line-up as multiple AW winners and might be the pair to focus on.

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.
