1	1 (1) (10/3 -11%) Bronte Beach	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(1) Bronte Beach 10/3, Best work late after a slow start on handicap debut beaten 3l off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time; effective 8-10f, acts on AW; stocky sort, ex-Godolphin, return to this trip a plus. Eye-catching finishing effort in 1m Class 5 on h'cap debut; longer trip a plus; intriguing.

16:49 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

BEACHBOROUGH GIRL has been in consistent form in recent months and returns to the scene of her sole previous victory. She ran with credit over a furlong further off this mark when third at Southwell subsequently and the four-year-old can get her head back in front. Silkies Sib is another C&D winner expected to be in the mix, while others for the shortlist include He's Our Cracker and King of The Dance.

Beachborough Girl is solid but unexposed BRONTE BEACH was an eyecatcher on her handicap debut and the longer trip should be ideal.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
2	2 (2) (1/2 +45%) Respond	0.5 1/2(+45%)	(2) Respond 1/2, Too keen and worn down late when beaten a length off this mark at Lingfield last time; trainer in form; effective at 10f, seems to stay 12f, acts on sound surface; can remain competitive in handicaps and drop in trip may suit. Beaten favourite (1m4f) on return but raced too freely; still has potential for better.
4	4 (4) (13/2 -44%) Dark Moon Rising	6.5 13/2(-44%)	(4) Dark Moon Rising 13/2, Best work late off steady pace beaten 3 1/4l off this mark at Lingfield last time; effective 10-12f on good to soft, good firm and AW, goes well at York; inconsistent but capable if getting pace to aim at. Needs to step up on his two runs this year but that's certainly not out of the question.
5	5 (5) (15/2 -67%) Penzance	7.5 15/2(-67%)	(5) Penzance 15/2, Won this last year; well placed, ran to form beaten 1 1/4l off this mark at Dundalk last time; effective 10/11f on sound surface, all wins on AW; good chance of a repeat win if building on latest. Three C&D wins for former yard, including this race last year off 7lb higher; place chance.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -20%) The Glen Rovers	12 12/1(-20%)	(1) The Glen Rovers 12/1, Never in it from off the pace well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; effective 10-12f, suited by AW; handicapper may be in charge. Had a fine winter last time around but underwhelming in two Class 2 runs after a layoff.
6	6 (6) (12/1 -20%) Qitaal	12 12/1(-20%)	(6) Qitaal 12/1, Never in it from off the pace beaten 5l in a handicap at Lingfield last time; effective 10f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; inconsistent but capable. Good 3rd at Lingfield last month but didn't back it up last time; could enjoy run of race.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +25%) Storm Catcher	12 12/1(+25%)	(3) Storm Catcher 12/1, Bit below form, maybe didn't stay comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; effective 8-10f, acts on a sound surface; below last winning mark and not ruled out down in trip. Conditions to suit but struggling of late; dangerous mark if bouncing back but not solid.

17:30 Chelmsford City (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

RESPOND has shown some smart form, most notably when third at the St Leger meeting, and returned from a break when runner-up at Lingfield. The four-year-old may well benefit from dropping back in trip, given how he raced keenly on that occasion, and is fancied to be too strong for the opposition. Penzance runs off the same mark as his Dundalk second and is feared most, while better is expected of Qitaal.

All six runners have a question mark surrounding them but RESPOND, the least exposed contender, looks the safest option back at 1m2f.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
4	4 (4) (4/5 +42%) Forbidden Colours	0.8 4/5(+42%)	(4) Forbidden Colours 4/5, Promising debut when 4l fourth in a maiden at Newmarket first-time out; effective at 7f on good to firm; surely more to come this season. Hugely promising debut at Newmarket last September; open to considerable improvement.
6	6 (6) (5/2 -11%) Likeness	2.5 5/2(-11%)	(6) Likeness 5/2, Ran to form when second beaten 1 1/2l in a nursery at Newcastle latest; trainer in form; usually held up; returning from a break; effective up to 8f, acts on good and AW; big filly, drop in trip may suit. Runner-up in 2 1m nurseries (small fields) when last seen; sets the standard; yard in form.
1	1 (1) (9/2 +0%) Baandee	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(1) Baandee 9/2, Confirmed debut level when second beaten 3l in a novice here latest; returning from a break; wide draw; effective at 7f, acts on AW; chance again. Runner-up in C&D novices in both runs last autumn, making the running; each-way shout.
3	3 (3) (10/1 -186%) Denver Doll	10 10/1(-186%)	(3) Denver Doll 10/1, Confirmed debut level when second beaten 3 1/4l in a maiden here latest; effective 7f, acts on AW, sound surfaces will suit; nice type, possibly bit more to come. Placed in her two 7f runs this year but that form will need bettering this evening.
8	8 (8) (28/1 +58%) Magic Lady Mae	28 28/1(+58%)	(8) Magic Lady Mae 28/1, Bit keen and didn't get home beaten 6 1/4l in a novice at Kempton on debut; wide draw; difficult to fancy. Well-beaten 10th of 12 on sole 2yo start (6f, Polytrack); more to come but it is needed.
9	9 (9) (33/1 +0%) Society Charm	33 33/1(+0%)	(9) Society Charm 33/1, Charming Thought filly; first foal of a mare who was a winner at 5f; yard capable of readying one but others look stronger. Dam a minor 5f winner (RPR 65); fair standard to aim at on debut.
7	7 (7) (80/1 -100%) Made In Normandie	80 80/1(-100%)	(7) Made In Normandie 80/1, Solid effort off a break up in trip when fourth beaten 6l in a maiden here latest; stays 7f, acts on AW; entitled to come on from reappearance. Neither start has been devoid of promise but she'll need a good step forward to take this.
2	2 (2) (150/1 -50%) Dee's Honey	150 150/1(-50%)	(2) Dee's Honey 150/1, Showed more than on debut albeit comfortably held in a maiden at Ffos Las last time; all to prove for now. Poor form in her two turf runs (around 7f) in the second half of 2025; hard to recommend.
5	5 (5) (150/1 -50%) Lihou Lady	150 150/1(-50%)	(5) Lihou Lady 150/1, Similar moderate form to debut beaten 7 1/2l in a novice at Southwell last time; quite speedily-bred, seems to act on AW; yet to show much ability. Two Southwell runs have offered hope of better; handicaps more suitable after this.
10	10 (10) (400/1 -100%) Trade Marked	400 400/1(-100%)	(10) Trade Marked 400/1, Yet to show any real signs of ability; returning from a break; bred for 8f+; type to do better when handicapping. Huge prices and finished tailed off in two runs last autumn (around 1m); no appeal.

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

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

LIKENESS ran well in a couple of nurseries at Newcastle in the autumn and this may be the opportunity that George Boughey's filly has been waiting for to get off the mark. Baandee has the advantage of course form, having finished runner-up on both starts here last year, and she commands plenty of respect. Denver Doll was turned over at odds-on at this venue last month, but is entitled to have more to come.

Likeness should go well but FORBIDDEN COLOURS looked a filly with a bright future when fourth in a strong Newmarket maiden.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (7/2 +78%) Black Tango	3.5 7/2(+78%)	(1) Black Tango 7/2, Probably given too much to do ridden with more restraint when comfortably held in a handicap at Wolverhampton last time; gets 7f, possibly not 8f, acts on AW; minor promise and may rate more highly yet. Needs to rebound from a lacklustre effort at Wolverhampton last month; gelded since.
6	6 (6) (7/2 -56%) Oh So Perfect	3.5 7/2(-56%)	(6) Oh So Perfect 7/2, Step up in trip suited and enjoyed making it when landing a handicap by 1 1/2l off a 7lb lower mark here last time; suited by 6/7f, acts on good, good to firm and AW, best form when near the front; more to come. Made all over C&D last month, beating a rival who has won two since; 7lb rise demands more.
4	4 (4) (6/1 -50%) Giles Glory	6 6/1(-50%)	(4) Giles Glory 6/1, Head still quite high but better in reapplied visor when fourth at Kempton latest; suited by 7f, stays 1m, acts on a sound surface, goes best in visor; unreliable but competitive mark. Not kicked on from his Lingfield win in January (7f); still holds each-way claims.
8	8 (8) (6/1 +14%) Frankali	6 6/1(+14%)	(8) Frankali 6/1, Ran about to form, made quite a lot of use of beaten 3l off this mark at Kempton last time; trainer in form; effective 7f, acts on AW; looks to have found level. Three fair runs in 7f handicaps this year; each-way claims once again.
3	3 (3) (17/2 -42%) Electrocution	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(3) Electrocution 17/2, Game and ran to form when third beaten 1/2l off 55 last time, same mark here; wide draw; effective 7f, acts on AW; in good form, mark getting tougher. Progressive at 7f this year; drawn widest but may not have finished improving just yet.
5	5 (5) (9/1 -38%) Grand Echo	9 9/1(-38%)	(5) Grand Echo 9/1, Suited by return to 7f when beaten a neck off a 1lb lower mark at Kempton last time; wide draw; effective 5-7f, acts on AW; can go well. 0-9 but latest Kempton second (7f) was an improved effort; decent chance if backing it up.
9	9 (9) (12/1 +45%) Warm Waters	12 12/1(+45%)	(9) Warm Waters 12/1, Outclassed by first two but probably ran to form when 14l third in a maiden at Wolverhampton most recent run; stays 7f, acts on AW; moderate but now handicapping. Possible improver now handicapping at a modest level but such progress is a must.
12	12 (12) (12/1 +45%) Y Y Star	12 12/1(+45%)	(12) Y Y Star 12/1, Poor run up in trip, not staying when well beaten in a maiden at Kempton latest; visor first time; wide draw; sprint-bred; could do better now handicapping. Poor form in 3 runs this year but backed on debut; likely improver handicapping in a visor.
10	10 (10) (12/1 -50%) Trucial Pearl	12 12/1(-50%)	(10) Trucial Pearl 12/1, Too much to do and probably bit better than bare form when beaten 4l off a 1lb higher mark at Wolverhampton last time; visor first time; effective 6f, may get further, acts on fast ground and AW; better than latest run and workable mark. Keeping-on fourth in two 6f handicaps this year; new trip/headgear could give her a lift.
2	2 (2) (18/1 -13%) She's Crafty	18 18/1(-13%)	(2) She's Crafty 18/1, Didn't stay when beaten 8l in a nursery at Wolverhampton last time; off a short-break; effective 5-7f acts on good to soft and AW; has lost form and now down in trip. One AW run as a 2yo that gives her good claims now starting off for new yard; inconsistent.
7	7 (7) (20/1 +9%) Starakova	20 20/1(+9%)	(7) Starakova 20/1, No-show from off the pace beaten 9l in a nursery at Southwell last time; effective 5f, yet to convince with stamina for further; hard to fancy. Modest form in five sprint runs as a 2yo; up in trip now back from 170 days off.
11	11 (11) (80/1 +20%) Lady Birgma	80 80/1(+20%)	(11) Lady Birgma 80/1, Poor effort down the field in a handicap at Kempton most recent; effective 7f, acts on AW; has regressed. Unplaced in seven starts, failing to improve for a switch to handicaps; hard to fancy.

18:30 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Oh So Perfect belatedly broke her maiden over C&D and although a 7lb rise will ask sterner questions, she's drawn well and can attempt to make all once again. However, preference is for GRAND ECHO, who showed plenty of sparkle at Kempton recently. Mark Usher's charge had been edging down the handicap for some time so if in a similar mood, he ought to go close. Electrocution is also noted.

Oh So Perfect and Electrocution are feared but Y Y STAR appeals as a potential improver now handicapping in a visor.

6	6 (6) (1/1 +43%) Shebara	1 1/1(+43%)	(6) Shebara 1/1, Ran to debut form when 2l third in a novice at Southwell most recent run; trainer in form; off a short-break; effective at 8f on AW; should improve. Two solid efforts on AW 80 days apart; the obvious threat to Tamashal.
2	2 (2) (13/8 +7%) Tamashal	1.625 13/8(+7%)	(2) Tamashal 13/8, Benefited from uncontested lead and improved when second beaten 1 1/4l in a novice here latest; stays 8f, sound surfaces will suit action; ran well last time and a bit to come. Two promising course runs this year; open to further progress; leading claims.
7	7 (7) (11/1 -144%) Action Reaction	11 11/1(-144%)	(7) Action Reaction 11/1, 12,500gns Masar filly; half-sister to Itsatenfromlen, smart at 6f as 2yo; dam very useful at 9f at 2yo; wide draw on debut makes things tricky. 12,500gns half-sister to Itsatenfromlen (winner in France/UAE; RPR 92); market to guide.
3	3 (3) (12/1 +33%) Tough Date	12 12/1(+33%)	(3) Tough Date 12/1, £19,000 Gregorian gelding; half-brother to Hyperchromatic, very useful at 9f; worth a market check on debut. £19,000 half-brother to 7f/8.6f winner Hyperchromatic (RPR 91); worth a market check.
4	4 (4) (18/1 +45%) Wind Summer	18 18/1(+45%)	(4) Wind Summer 18/1, Cheekpieces off but ran too badly to be true on handicap debut when well beaten in a handicap at Kempton latest; in good form prior; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; bounce back needed. Placed in two novices at Lingfield in December; poor run latest and needs a personal best.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -340%) Mystic Music	33 33/1(-340%)	(9) Mystic Music 33/1, Waldgeist filly; half-sister to Cello, useful from 12f to 16f; dam smart at 7f; trainer in form but this one might be best watched on debut. Good middle-distance pedigree but she looks the stable second string tonight.
5	5 (5) (66/1 -100%) Lordsbridge Bay	66 66/1(-100%)	(5) Lordsbridge Bay 66/1, Tired late up in trip beaten 5l in a novice at Southwell last time; speedily-bred, probably just gets 7f; stamina to prove. Some promise in two runs over shorter last month; needs more for the extra yardage.

19:00 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Tamashal made a bold bid from the front over C&D a fortnight ago and should go close with any further improvement, but it looks best to side with SHEBARA. The daughter of Make Believe ran to a decent level on her debut before posting a similar effort at Southwell. She'll be tough to beat with a reproduction, but that's only if stable companion Mystic Music and the George Boughey-trained Action Reaction aren't above average themselves.

The two with the most persuasive claims are TAMASHAL and Shebara. The former has shaped well in two course runs and is preferred.

Two course wins over shorter; arrives in good form but others perhaps better treated.
6	6 (6) (9/2 -50%) Moonjid	4.5 9/2(-50%)	(6) Moonjid 9/2, Back to novice best landing a handicap by a neck off a 5lb lower mark at Nottingham last time; returning from a break; wide draw; suited by 8/9f and a sound surface; has potential to be fair bit better than mark still. Ended 2025 with a good win at Nottingham (front two clear); can progress further this year.
7	7 (7) (5/1 -43%) Signcastle City	5 5/1(-43%)	(7) Signcastle City 5/1, Plenty went wrong, below form when fifth beaten 5 1/4l off 74 last time, same mark here; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; can go well if getting breaks this time. Mitigating factors last time and earlier 7f win was a fine effort; place claims at least.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -11%) Madame De Sevigne	5 5/1(-11%)	(1) Madame De Sevigne 5/1, Below form dropped in trip beaten 5l in a handicap at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, acts on soft, good to firm and AW; step back up in trip a plus. Effective over C&D; needs to step up on last month's stable debut but it is possible.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +25%) Lexington Jet	6 6/1(+25%)	(4) Lexington Jet 6/1, Too keen and below form seventh beaten 6l off 77 last time, same mark here; top course jockey; effective 7/8f, best on AW; bounce back needed. Made all for 2 C&D wins in January; held at Lingfield last month; this track more suitable.

C&D winner off this mark last summer; removal of headgear looks a positive; revival likely.

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

It might be worth forgiving LEXINGTON JET's lacklustre Lingfield effort given he notched up a C&D brace in January. That latest performance did suggest the handicapper had regained an element of control, but the booking of Rossa Ryan hints that connections think otherwise. Returning Nottingham scorer Moonjid merits respect, as does Commander Of Life, who has held his form well since winning here in October.

Lexington Jet and Moonjid are respected but GIANT could rediscover his best with headgear discarded.

Fast-finishing 3rd on stable debut before easy C&D win last month; brings some potential.

5	5 (5) (6/1 +25%) Studious	6 6/1(+25%)	(5) Studious 6/1, Ran to form beaten a length off this mark at Southwell last time; effective 7/8f, form largely on AW; can be competitive again. Good runs in defeat since winning at Newcastle in November; should remain competitive.
4	4 (4) (9/1 -227%) Oceans Five	9 9/1(-227%)	(4) Oceans Five 9/1, Run of race, ran to form when a length third in a novice at Wolverhampton most recent run; off a short-break; effective 7/8f, acts on AW; maybe more to come now handicapping. Two good AW runs after a long absence; makes his handicap debut at a realistic level.

Low-key stable debut three weeks ago; stable may hold stronger claims elsewhere.

20:00 Chelmsford City (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

A competitive enough event, but SHAFDAR is taken to defy the burden of top weight. He built on a pleasing stable debut for Ian Williams when hacking up in a C&D maiden last month and this opening mark of 80 could underestimate his level of ability. Like the selection, Oceans Five goes handicapping for the first time and should make his presence felt, while Studious and Tonal can run their usual honest races.

Studious should go well but SHAFDAR has shaped well in both runs for Ian Williams and he can defy top weight on his handicap debut.

Three 7f novice runs at Southwell have yielded a win and two 3rds; longer trip should suit.

20:30 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

WARNING SYMBOL returned from six months off and following a gelding operation to make a successful handicap debut over this trip at Kempton. He could improve again for the refitting of cheekpieces (worn when third over 7f here two starts ago) and gets the vote to defy a 3lb rise. Shafi is rated just 1lb higher on his handicap bow and should be competitive, while Tewkesbury has a chance on his first couple of efforts.

Some unknown quantities on show but WARNING SYMBOL (nap) is hardly exposed himself and he can follow up last month's Kempton win.

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.
