LTO Selection:

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Sirius White's effort at Wolverhampton last time can easily be forgiven, as he was reported to be lame after the race, and he could get involved if reproducing his effort when victorious here on his penultimate start. However, preference is for REVERBERATION, who failed to justify favouritism over 1m4f on his most recent outing but this big drop in distance could help him to bounce back to form. Martini Lodge completes the shortlist in a first-time hood.

REVERBERATION might have had his stamina stretched over 1½m last time and is given another chance to build on his easy 1¼m course win last month. Hellavapace is respected on the back of her latest Wolverhampton third. A market move for David Simcock handicap newcomer Charlatan would also bring him firmly into the reckoning.

An unappealing event in which REVERBERATION is taken to leave his latest effort behind him now returned to Chelmsford.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

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

NEW YORK BAY won impressively over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last week and only has to carry a 5lb penalty here. The son of New Bay could have plenty more to offer on only his third handicap start and looks difficult to oppose. Good Time Ahead finished a fair fourth over an extended 2m at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and can fight it out for second off a 1lb lower mark, while Taxiing is another to note.

NEW YORK BAY took a big step forward when getting off the mark in good style at Wolverhampton and is weighted to follow up under a 5 lb penalty on his polytrack bow. Good Time Ahead appeals as the one to chase home Gay Kelleway's unexposed stayer ahead of A Touch of Silver and Taxiing.

The quick return to action on a new surface are the worries for NEW YORK BAY but he does look much the most interesting runner.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ROTHAY PARK produced his best effort to date when runner-up at Lingfield in November and he sets a fair standard in this contest with a rating of 72. The three-year-old looks well placed to go one better and shed his maiden tag. Different Breed has been a model of consistency, as he hasn't finished out of the top three on each of his last four starts, and is likely to be in contention once again. Any market confidence behind Dyrholaey would also be of interest.

SCARBOROUGHWARNING shaped well when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and with more improvement very much on the cards from Sir Mark Prescott's filly now she steps up in trip she looks the way to go. Different Breed has the form to have a big say too and is next on the list, although a market move for Archie Watson's newcomer Dyrholaey could put a different slant on things.

Rothay Park is a solid contender but SCARBOROUGHWARNING can take a step forward now upped to 6f for the first time.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

DUE DATE could be the answer at this level having outrun huge odds to finish fourth in a handicap over C&D last month. The selection has dropped markedly in the handicap in recent months and this appears a good opportunity for Charlie Wallis' charge. Hard Solution (fifth) and Monsieur Fantaisie (eighth) are contenders based on last week's encounter at Lingfield.

UNIVERSAL GRACE got going too late at Lingfield last week and can bounce back to winning ways returned to the scene of her previous victory. Q Twenty Boy and Due Date are feared.

This can go to KANGAROO who can bounce back from a low-key run at Kempton last month.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SUNSET IN PARIS has posted some good efforts at this venue and has been found a good opportunity to follow up last month's comfortable success over this trip at Lingfield. That form gives him a big chance in this company and he is readily preferred to Uther Pendragon and Silver Bubble, who are suggested as the most likely dangers. The Lion Strikes sports cheekpieces for the first time and is also considered.

CALCUTTA DREAM shaped better than the bare result returning from 4 months off when fifth at Wolverhampton and has a good chance on these terms if building on that. Sunset In Paris and Uther Pendragon are others to consider.

Last year's winner Calcutta Dream is greatly respected but SUNSET IN PARIS won well at Lingfield last time and he can follow up.

Progress has levelled off over sprint trips; stamina for 7f has to be taken on trust.

Remarkable Force

11/2(-10%)
(2) Remarkable Force 11/2, First run since leaving Alice Haynes when good neck second of 13 to Riot in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 35 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Cheekpieces back on. Respected.
Collared close home by Riot over C&D five weeks ago; headgear returns; one to consider.
LTO Selection:

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

REMARKABLE FORCE went close to making it a perfect start for new trainer Brian Toomey when narrowly denied over C&D by Riot last month and the four-year-old, who was only raised 1lb for that effort, is more than capable of going one better. The aforementioned Riot backed that effort up by finishing third here subsequently and is likely to enter calculations once again, while Love De Vega and Ultramarine are others worth noting.

ULTRAMARINE made short work of his rivals when making it 3 wins from his last 4 starts at Kempton on Saturday so has obvious claims off the same mark. Love de Vega has been knocking on the door of late and is next best ahead of Remarkable Force, who went close to making a winning debut for this yard over C&D 5 weeks ago.

The thriving ULTRAMARINE (nap) is 8lb well in after Saturday's bloodless Kempton win and he can complete his hat-trick.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

THE GAY BLADE returned to winning ways with a vengeance at Newcastle last Thursday when making every yard of the running. Connections opt to take advantage of him running under a 5lb penalty, as he would carry 5lb more in future contests, and a repeat of that performance would make him tough to beat. Sparkling Spirit is capable of being in the mix following her third at Newcastle on Monday, while any market support for Wee Geordie would make him of interest.

THE GAY BLADE was seemingly much improved when winning by a wide margin at Newcastle last week and is the obvious choice to follow up under a penalty. Sparkling Spirit has been shaping up well recently and is considered the main threat, ahead of Brother Dave.

The Gay Blade is well in under a penalty for last week's Newcastle romp but the unexposed WEE GEORDIE is an interesting alternative

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.
