13:37 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (9/1 +44%) Who's On First	9 9/1(+44%)	(4) Who's On First 9/1, Made too much use of and helped set it up for closers when beaten 8 1/2l in a nursery at Kempton last time. Trained by a top course trainer, off a short break, bred to want 8f+, and improvement is possible now handicapping. Well held in all five starts and she needs a transformation after a break.
2	2 2nd (2) (6/4 +20%) Aneirin's Sword	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(2) Aneirin's Sword 6/4, Scored by a nose off a 3lb lower mark here two starts ago. Had every chance when second, beaten 3/4l off 61 last time, 2lb higher here; suited by 1m, game, and has probably reached his level but still on looks on fair mark. Won over C&D on handicap debut before a close second at Kempton 11 days ago; key player.
2	6 2nd (6) (11/1 -83%) Bergamo Gold	11 11/1(-83%)	(6) Bergamo Gold 11/1, Ran roughly to form when upped in trip, beaten 4 1/4l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Had been in good form prior, effective at 7-9f, and looks to have reached her level. Ran better than the bare facts at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and she's still unexposed.
4	1 4th (1) (11/4 +50%) Berkshire Schmokin	2.75 11/4(+50%)	(1) Berkshire Schmokin 11/4, Ran to form but wound it up early enough and set it up for closers when beaten 6l in a maiden at Southwell last time. Trainer is in form, returning from a break, effective at 7f, and should bounce back with promise of more to come now handicapping dropping in class. Unexposed handicap newcomer and he's a possible improver on his return; has been gelded.
5th	5 5th (5) (6/1 -118%) Thanh Nam	6 6/1(-118%)	(5) Thanh Nam 6/1, Scored by 1/4l off a 3lb lower mark at Wolverhampton in December. Effective at 8-10f with 9f seeming to suit best; a little quirky but his form is consistent. C&D winner who got back on track when runner-up at Wolverhampton on Tuesday; respected.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -191%) Let Her Go	16 16/1(-191%)	(3) Let Her Go 16/1, Tired late when upped in trip after making plenty of use of the running, beaten 5l in a maiden at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f and still open to improvement. Well-bred filly who is unexposed and needs a close look on her handicap debut.
7th	7 7th (7) (50/1 -79%) Bosh Soldier	50 50/1(-79%)	(7) Bosh Soldier 50/1, Has shown no worthwhile form to date. Returns from a short break, appears short of pace, and can only be watched. Well held in five runs for George Boughey and needs plenty of improvement on stable debut.

13:37 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ANEIRIN'S SWORD dead-heated for the victory over C&D two starts ago and was only narrowly denied when trying to follow up at Kempton 11 days ago. The progressive three-year-old may well be able to defy a 2lb rise and return to winning ways. Thanh Nam was second at Wolverhampton earlier in the week and could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Bergamo Gold and Let Her Go.

The vote goes to ANEIRIN'S SWORD, who dead-heated here on his handicap debut and backed that up with a close call at Kempton.

14:07 Chelmsford City (Class 4) 8f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (8/15 +52%) Shafdar	0.533333 8/15(+52%)	(1) Shafdar 8/15, Travelled well and waited ages for daylight, and could have been much closer when beaten 5l third in a maiden at Kempton on his most recent run. Effective over 7/8f and capable of rating more highly. The clear form pick. Minor promise on first 2 starts but much more on recent yard debut when 3rd to classy one.
2	4 2nd (4) (13/8 +7%) Picture Palace	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(4) Picture Palace 13/8, Pinatubo colt who is a half-brother to Blair House, a high-class performer over 9f. Another half brother won on debut and was a Group 3 winner. The trainer is in form so fair claims. Dam bred smart winners, including at 1m; likely newcomer for leading yard; market crucial.
3	2 3rd (2) (125/1 -150%) Machali	125 125/1(-150%)	(2) Machali 125/1, Still green and never threatened when well beaten in a novice at Southwell latest. Looks the type to do better once moving into handicaps. Big prices, never out of rear division in two 1m novice events, over C&D and at Southwell.
4	3 4th (3) (20/1 -400%) Immediate Jewel	20 20/1(-400%)	(3) Immediate Jewel 20/1, Postponed gelding whose dam was unraced. Plenty of stamina in the pedigree. Yard has had a recent first time out winner but this a big ask. From family of high-class jumpers so has plenty to prove over 1m on debut.

14:07 Chelmsford City (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Shafdar sets the standard based on his third over a mile at Kempton on his debut for these connections last month. That said, a chance can be taken on PICTURE PALACE, who lacks race experience but is a half-brother to the Group 1 winner Blair House. With that in mind, it would be no surprise to see the son of Pinatubo make a winning debut. Immediate Jewel is the pick of the remainder.

Well-connected Picture Palace could turn out to be a class apart but SHAFDAR gets a token vote after a very promising 3rd at Kempton

14:07 Chelmsford City (Class 4) 8f PREDICTION SIMULATION

14:37 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 7f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	7 1st (7) (8/1 -129%) Sanditon	8 8/1(-129%)	(7) Sanditon 8/1, Returned to form with a change of headgear when beaten 2 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time. Effective at 7f and still a maiden, but is on a competitive mark. Ran well in the returning cheekpieces at Kempton three days ago; his turn should come.
2	1 2nd (1) (15/8 +38%) King David	1.875 15/8(+38%)	(1) King David 15/8, Ran to current form when beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Southwell last time, wearing first-time blinkers and a tongue tie. Proven over 7f and 8f on the all-weather but arrives on a losing run. Gave it a good go from the front at Southwell three days ago despite racing freely.
3	6 3rd (6) (16/1 -60%) Toussarok	16 16/1(-60%)	(6) Toussarok 16/1, Was far too free when beaten 7l in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time. Had been in good form beforehand and is effective over 6f and 7f, so could feature if settling better. Off colour last time but was only a neck away in 7f handicaps prior to that.
4	8 4th (8) (40/1 -60%) Fort Augustus	40 40/1(-60%)	(8) Fort Augustus 40/1, Never threatened when beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Best suited by 6f and now lower in the weights, but this exposed maiden has questions to answer. Still a maiden and comfortably held in four runs for this yard, latterly in the new hood.
5th	5 5th (5) (5/1 +0%) Invincible Melody	5 5/1(+0%)	(5) Invincible Melody 5/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 1lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective over 6f and 7f on the all-weather and represents a top course trainer, giving him a chance in this. Had plenty of chances (0-17) but he's been knocking on the door and returns to 7f.
6th	2 6th (2) (4/1 +33%) Mandana	4 4/1(+33%)	(2) Mandana 4/1, Was far too free when comfortably held in a handicap here last time. Effective over 7f to 10f; her mark is easing but she has been inconsistent of late. Has only won a maiden in 18 runs but has threatened in handicaps; on a good mark.
7th	4 7th (4) (4/1 +20%) Pickering Castle	4 4/1(+20%)	(4) Pickering Castle 4/1, Had too much to do after meeting trouble at a key stage when beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 6f and 7f, with his mark continuing to slide. Could go well stepped back up in distance. No wins in 11 and hasn't been close to his best form on last three appearances.
8th	3 8th (3) (22/1 -144%) Silky Robin	22 22/1(-144%)	(3) Silky Robin 22/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time. Returning from a break with a wide draw; suited by 5f or 6f, but stamina remains to prove. Four wins over 5f-6f on turf; 0-15 on the AW and 7f might not be his trip.

14:37 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

SANDITON bounced back to form when third over 7f at Kempton on Wednesday and a reproduction of that level of performance would give him a big chance here. However, similar comments apply to King David following his close fourth at Southwell on Thursday and he should not be underestimated. Toussarok is a player based on his second at Lingfield two starts ago, while Mandana completes the shortlist.

All of these have found winning difficult but INVINCIBLE MELODY continues to run well and returning to 7f looks a positive.

15:07 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 10f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (3/1 +63%) Man Is King	3 3/1(+63%)	(4) Man Is King 3/1, Improved on recent efforts but outstayed late when beaten 6 1/4l in a handicap at Dundalk last time. Effective over 8–11f and the drop in trip is a plus starting out for a new yard. Very interesting with top jockey booked. Overall record of 0-41 and well held in final two runs in Ireland; down the list.
2	8 2nd (8) (4/1 +43%) Prince Hector	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Prince Hector 4/1, Never in the race when finishing down the field in a classified contest at Wolverhampton most recently. Effective over 10–16f and was in decent form beforehand but needs more. Went close over C&D on penultimate run but he was disappointing at Wolverhampton last time.
3	5 3rd (5) (3/1 -9%) Marinakis	3 3/1(-9%)	(5) Marinakis 3/1, Had every chance and ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l in a classified race at Lingfield last time. Effective at 10–12f and 2-2 at this venue, so not dismissed. Won over C&D on his penultimate run and he's a big player if he can recapture that form.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 -60%) Monks Mead	3 3/1(-60%)	(7) Monks Mead 3/1, Outpaced but rallied and ran to form when second, beaten 1 1/4l, in a classified race at Lingfield latest. Effective over 7–10f and can go well again. Win and second at Lingfield (1m2f) in last two runs and he's a key player here.
5th	6 5th (6) (5/1 +9%) Marion's Boy	5 5/1(+9%)	(6) Marion's Boy 5/1, Outpaced but finished strongly and ran to form when 4l third in a classified race at Lingfield most recently. Effective at 10f and interesting to see if he can build on recent runs. Polytrack specialist who has shown signs of a revival at Lingfield this year; dangerous.
6th	3 6th (3) (14/1 +44%) Lisabetta	14 14/1(+44%)	(3) Lisabetta 14/1, Again well below form when finishing down the field in a handicap at Gowran Park last time. Effective at 8–10f but out of form and has a bit to prove on all-weather starting out for new yard. Her last win was in 2023 and she needs a major revival on return for new yard.
7th	1 7th (1) (20/1 -122%) Celebrating Ethel	20 20/1(-122%)	(1) Celebrating Ethel 20/1, Poorly placed in a race dominated from the front when well beaten in a classified event at Wolverhampton last time. Suited by 8/10f, but her form has tailed off since a summer win. 0-16 on AW and has struggled at biggish prices in two classified events this winter.

15:07 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

MONKS MEAD accounted for Marion's Boy (fourth) and Marinakis (fifth) when scoring at Lingfield on his penultimate start and that looks like the key piece of form to focus on. Mark Usher's gelding backed that effort up with a good second over the same C&D last time and is the one to beat. Prince Hector is capable at this level and can't be ruled out either.

Preference is for MARINAKIS, who is 2-2 at Chelmsford and won a classified event over C&D on his penultimate run.

15:37 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 10f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (15/8 -7%) Harlington	1.875 15/8(-7%)	(5) Harlington 15/8, Ran to form when landing a handicap by 2l off a 6lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Effective over 10-12f, his penultimate run has been boosted and, despite a career-high mark, he is not dismissed. Has made a good start for this yard and was a comfortable 2l winner at Lingfield; up 6lb.
2	2 2nd (2) (2/1 +33%) Jodhpur Blue	2 2/1(+33%)	(2) Jodhpur Blue 2/1, Ran to form but flattened out late when possibly outstayed, beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 7-11f on the all-weather, is back in form and a drop in trip looks a plus. Only 1-16 overall but arrives here in a fair run of form and unlikely to be far away.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/2 -10%) Bint Al Daar	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(1) Bint Al Daar 11/2, Below form in a first-time visor when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Lingfield last time. Had been in good form beforehand, with the trainer also going well, and is effective over 8-10f, but a bounce back is required. Capable at this level and contested a Class 2 last time from out of the weights.
4	6 4th (6) (12/1 -50%) My Awele	12 12/1(-50%)	(6) My Awele 12/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective over 6-8f, but stamina is yet to be proven and she is not one to rely on building on that latest effort. Three-time winner at sprint trips but it was over 1m when a staying-on second last time.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 +31%) Annexation	11 11/1(+31%)	(4) Annexation 11/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/4l off a 2lb higher mark at Lingfield last time. Effective around 10f, the handicapper is relenting and he could be running into form. Won twice on turf in the autumn; hasn't been running as well on the AW.
6th	3 6th (3) (6/1 -33%) Gennadius	6 6/1(-33%)	(3) Gennadius 6/1, Below form when fourth, beaten 6l, back in a handicap here latest. Effective at 6-8f, but looks flattered by his maiden win and, although bred to stay this far, needs to show more than of late. Easy winner of a 1m maiden here before coming up well short back in a handicap.

15:37 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Harlington won by two lengths at Lingfield on his latest outing and holds an obvious chance, but it may pay to side with JODHPUR BLUE. Ian Williams' gelding finished a creditable third in a warmer contest at Wolverhampton and this drop in grade, along with the shorter trip, could work the oracle. My Awele occupied the runner-up berth over a mile here last month and is another to consider.

Quite open despite only six running. HARLINGTON is up the weights but he's made a bright start for Charlie Clover.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (5/2 +9%) Forever Noah	2.5 5/2(+9%)	(4) Forever Noah 5/2, Had the run of the race at a sharp track when beaten a head off a 1lb lower mark here last time. Effective over 6–8f. Form has been in and out but dangerous if allowed to dictate. Not yet off the mark but running well in competitive 6f and 5f races of late; respected.
2	3 2nd (3) (16/1 -14%) Man On A Mission	16 16/1(-14%)	(3) Man On A Mission 16/1, Forced to wait for a gap and flattened out when in the clear, beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap at Kempton last time. Effective at 5/6f but has been out of form since returning from an absence. Multiple Polytrack wins, the latest in December 2024, but below best since back from break.
3	5 3rd (5) (50/1 -100%) Jake Loves Laura	50 50/1(-100%)	(5) Jake Loves Laura 50/1, Outpaced when dropped in trip and finished down the field in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recently. Off a short break and inconsistent over 6f so far. More needed. On the premises over 6f at Wolverhampton in 2025 but often fails to beat a rival.
4	1 4th (1) (2/1 +11%) Gundogan	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Gundogan 2/1, Ran to form when beaten 3l off this mark at Southwell last time, but possibly outstayed late. Effective at 6/7f and suited by a sound surface. On a long losing run, though the mark looks fair and he has every chance. 0-13 on AW but acted well over 6f/7f here in 2025 and has dropped to a tempting mark.
5th	2 5th (2) (2/1 +40%) Respectable Jack	2 2/1(+40%)	(2) Respectable Jack 2/1, Ran to form in first-time blinkers when beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Kempton last time. Trainer is in form and he is effective at 6/7f. Still a maiden but running into form off this mark and big player if getting stiff test. Maiden but had few chances; should find a 6f handicap on recent Kempton Polytrack form.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/1 -67%) Marcus	10 10/1(-67%)	(7) Marcus 10/1, Ran to form when beaten 2l off a 1lb higher mark here last time. Effective at 5f. A frustrating maiden who has shown enough to be competitive at this level. Maiden; often thereabouts over 5f but a big question mark about the return to 6f.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -82%) Little Miss Magic	20 20/1(-82%)	(6) Little Miss Magic 20/1, Hinted at a revival when beaten 1 1/2l into third in a classified race here on her most recent run in first-time visor. Usually held up and suited by 5/6f. Needs to build on that effort back in a handicap. Turf winner; best run for a while when 3rd in C&D classified latest; likely to need more.

16:07 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Both Respectable Jack and Forever Noah have been threatening to open their accounts, with the former preferred on his recent placed efforts at Kempton. However, it could pay to take a chance on LITTLE MISS MAGIC. Patrick Chamings' charge finished a respectable third in a classified contest here last month and a return to winning ways looks imminent based on that evidence.

Respectable Jack and Gundogan (second choice) are solid contenders but FOREVER NOAH is preferred after his recent good efforts.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +0%) The Craftymaster	3 3/1(+0%)	(5) The Craftymaster 3/1, Ran to form but was given a bit too much to do when beaten 2l off this mark at Lingfield last time. Usually held up, best at 16f, on a good mark and needs a decent pace to aim at. Last win March 2024; on a good mark and fair runs in a visor last twice; blinkers back on.
2	7 2nd (7) (50/1 +24%) Apache Eagle	50 50/1(+24%)	(7) Apache Eagle 50/1, Never threatened on flat return when beaten 9 1/2l in a handicap at Southwell last time. Effective over 14f but has yet to show anything in either code. Maiden; beaten over 9l on Thursday having finished tailed off previous two starts.
3	1 3rd (1) (9/2 -50%) Mio Amico	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(1) Mio Amico 9/2, Returned to form down in trip when landing a handicap by 1/2l off a 3lb lower mark at Lingfield last time. Trainer is in form, is effective over 12-14f, generally consistent and the recent win has been franked, giving him every chance up 3lb. Off the mark, under today's rider, at Lingfield last time (1m4f); stays 1m6f; big player.
4	6 4th (6) (28/1 -75%) Corsican Caper	28 28/1(-75%)	(6) Corsican Caper 28/1, Outpaced on a poor debut when well beaten in a maiden hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Effective over 12-16f, consistent at a lowly level on the flat and outside chance off much reduced mark. Couple of fair runs on turf last year; on a long losing run; well beaten over jumps latest.
5th	2 5th (2) (6/5 +60%) Tuba	1.2 6/5(+60%)	(2) Tuba 6/5, Scored by 2l off a 5lb lower mark at Wolverhampton three starts back. Ran to form when second, beaten 2 1/2l off 59 last time pulling clear with the winner and is 1lb higher here; effective up to 17f and can go well again. Sound efforts upped to 2m last four runs, including Wolverhampton win; solid chance.
6th	4 6th (4) (25/1 -108%) Burano Murano	25 25/1(-108%)	(4) Burano Murano 25/1, Made too much use of on flat return when beaten 5l in a handicap here last time. Effective over 10-12f, fairly consistent and remains unexposed over staying trips. Maiden; ran a couple of fair runs on turf last term, but not so good over 2m here latest.
7th	3 7th (3) (9/2 -35%) Sneaky Blinder	4.5 9/2(-35%)	(3) Sneaky Blinder 9/2, Ran to form when pulling clear with an improving rival, beaten 3/4l off this mark at Wolverhampton last time. Effective over 14-17f and arrives in form. Two wins over 2m at Wolverhampton last year; creditable second latest; should go well.

16:37 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 15f Race Class Flow

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

MIO AMICO got off the mark with a victory over 1m4f at Lingfield last month. A 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor him here, given the third has subsequently landed a double, and this extra yardage holds no fears for Michael Keady's inmate. Sneaky Blinder won four times on the all-weather last year and looks a bigger danger than Tuba on the evidence of his recent second at Wolverhampton.

Lingfield winner MIO AMICO (nap) has plenty going for him here and is taken to beat the in-form pair Tuba and Sneaky Blinder.

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.
