Explosion

0.666667
4/6(+44%)
(1) Explosion 4/6, Suited by the longer trip, he won a novice at Windsor over 1m by 2l last time; trainer in form. Middle-distance type with more to come over further.
Improved to win quite valuable Windsor novice (1m, soft) last month; AW/nursery debut.

11/2(-38%)
(2) The Resdev Scholar 11/2, Ran a little below expectations when plenty of use was made, beaten 2l off 72 over 7f at Carlisle last time. Hood applied for the first time; reliable type.
0-6 on turf but pretty consistent; upped from 7f and hooded for this AW debut.

16:18 Chelmsford City (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

EXPLOSION improved for the step up to a mile when getting off the mark at Windsor earlier in the month and the son of Showcasing could be hard to beat if finding further progression over this distance. Royal Bodyguard made the frame off this mark in a competitive nursery at Doncaster a week ago and is an obvious threat, while The Resdev Scholar cannot be written off either.

Preference is for ROYAL BODYGUARD, who followed last month's small-field win on this surface with a creditable third on turf last week.

16:50 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SENSE OF REASON hit the crossbar multiple times prior to getting off the mark over C&D last month and the four-year-old tops the shortlist on the back of that performance, despite a 5lb rise. Prince Hector has run well off this rating the last twice and could pose the biggest threat to the selection, ahead of Wyld Bill and Pending Appeal.

The most obvious answer is SENSE OF REASON, who won a slightly stronger C&D race than this when last in action six weeks ago.

LTO Selection:hiden content, hiden content, hiden content, hiden content

17:25 Chelmsford City (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow

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

FOREVER PENYWERN had plenty in hand when scoring for the first time in a seller over 1m3f at Goodwood last month and, on that evidence, William Haggas' gelding is very hard to oppose. Divine Legacy failed to fire at Windsor, but is a player based on his previous second at Doncaster. Antelope edges out Wise Counsellor to be best of the rest.

It's hard to get away from FOREVER PENYWERN, who had a fair bit left in the tank when winning a pretty good seller last month.

18:00 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Norfolk Blue failed to land a blow on his nursery debut at York, but he showed ability in his three starts in novice company prior and has to be respected. However, ROSA INGLESA only found one too good on her introduction at Yarmouth and would have learned a great deal from the experience. The daughter of Lope Y Fernandez could take a step forward to strike. Piscean Star isn't out of it either.

Normal improvement ought to suffice for ROSA INGLESA, who kept on well for second on last month's debut at Yarmouth.

18:30 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

More was expected of MR NIPPY when only fourth over 5f at Ayr back in April, but he is likely to prove a different proposition with that debut under his belt. The son of Kameko should improve for the step up in distance and is given another chance. Acclaimed Freedom offered some encouragement at Ascot and could build on that effort. Any market support behind newcomer Athena's War would be interesting.

George Scott's ACCLAIMED FREEDOM shaped pretty well on soft ground at Ascot a fortnight ago and gets the vote.

19:00 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CAPTAIN BRUCE showed a big chunk of improvement when scoring over track and trip last month. The son of Awtaad is now 6lb higher but, considering the manner of that success, he can follow up. Imso Friendly finished third behind the selection on her most recent start and might get closer on the revised terms. Of the remainder, Hoe Benham makes the most appeal on her nursery bow.

C&D winner Captain Bruce is respected but nursery debutant THANH NAM may improve past him.

19:30 Chelmsford City (Class 5) 13f Race Class Flow

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

KINGMAKER shades the verdict in a small but competitive handicap. He had a subsequent winner a place behind when runner-up in class 4 company at Southwell and, eased in grade, he should remain competitive off a 3lb higher mark. Obsidian Knight won on his only previous visit here and posted an improved effort when third at Lingfield so he must enter calculations. Curran also warrants respect representing the in-form Charlie Johnston stable.

A case can be made for all of these, with CARLTON's excellent Chelmsford record earning him the vote. Curran is second choice.

20:00 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DUE DATE posted a number of solid efforts before getting no run whatsoever at Windsor. With a line put through that latest performance, and returning to a venue where he has won twice in the past, he is fancied to play a leading role. Invincible Navy has struck the crossbar on his last couple of starts and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Dubai Magic cannot be ruled out either.

This can go to SAM'S HOPE who won by 4l at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and looks well treated under a penalty.

20:30 Chelmsford City (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CAMPANI has certainly improved since being gelded and switched to handicap company, and the first-time hood did it's job when he comfortably opened his account at Brighton. With further progress likely, he is taken to defy a 6lb rise in the ratings. Rogue Officer, equipped with a first-time hood himself, rates the biggest threat after a staying-on second on his handicap debut over 7f here. Ernie's Valentine may improve for dropping in class.

Peter Chapple-Hyam's ROGUE OFFICER (nap) returned from a layoff with a pleasing handicap debut over 7f here and can improve.

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.
