Races & Results Thursday 30th January 2025
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(4) Windsor Pass 15/8, Remains a maiden after 29 Flat runs. Creditable second of 12 in handicap (9/2) at this C&D 19 days ago, left with too much to do. Has to be taken seriously. 0-29 but she went close over C&D latest; big player if she gets a good pace and some luck.

8
2nd (8) (10/3 +17%) Mashaan
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(8) Mashaan 10/3, C&D winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 17/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at the same course (7.2f) 12 days ago. Couldn't rule out. Flopped with cheekpieces added latest but he could bounce back with the headgear removed.

1
3rd (1) (6/1 +8%) Almodovar Del Rio
6
6/1(+8%)
(1) Almodovar Del Rio 6/1, One win from 21 Flat runs. Eighth of 10 in handicap at this course (6f, 10/1). Off 96 days and 0-16 on the AW but capable of a bold show off this reduced mark if on-song. Record of 1-21 and he has something to prove after another break.

4th (2) (40/1 -100%) Flying Star
40
40/1(-100%)
(2) Flying Star 40/1, 9/1, last of 4 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good), very slowly away. Off 158 days ahead of this polytrack debut and needs to raise her game. Still lightly raced but she needs a transformation after 158 days off; AW debut.
5th
5
5th (5) (6/1 +40%) Edvard Grieg
6
6/1(+40%)
(5) Edvard Grieg 6/1, Last of 13 in handicap at this course (10f, 9/2) 49 days ago. Back down in trip and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Ten-race maiden who has struggled in last four runs and others are more convincing.
6th
3
6th (3) (14/1 -180%) Nubough
14
14/1(-180%)
(3) Nubough 14/1, Course winner. Three wins from 62 Flat runs. Creditable second of 13 in handicap (28/1) at this course (6f) 42 days ago. Possibilities off the same mark. Runner-up here in two of his last three runs (7f/6f); respected back up in trip.
7th
7
7th (7) (4/1 +11%) Lord Danielson
4
4/1(+11%)
(7) Lord Danielson 4/1, Course winner. Latest win here in January. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 10/3) 6 days ago, never nearer. Enters calculations. Two 6f wins here in 2025; held at Lingfield latest but he's not ruled out back up in trip.
8th
6
8th (6) (66/1 -371%) Doves Of Peace
66
66/1(-371%)
(6) Doves Of Peace 66/1, Course winner. Visored for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 12/1) 57 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Michael Bell and cheekpieces back on. Wouldn't be without a chance if he were to put his best foot forward. Well held in final two runs for Micheal Bell and he needs a major revival for new yard.
17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
All three of NUBOUGH's previous wins were registered on Polytrack, including one at this venue. There have been signs of a revival of late and the nine-year-old could be worth chancing. Windsor Pass has generally been consistent, despite still searching for a breakthrough win after 29 attempts, and she should go well once again. Lord Danielson and Mashaan complete the shortlist.
Lending support to a 29-race maiden is rarely advisable but in the case of WINDSOR PASS an exception can be made. Indeed, the 7-y-o has hit the crossbar on three of her last four starts and she probably should've won over this C&D last time (left with too much to do). Almodovar del Rio has edged down to an attractive mark and could be the main danger, though Lord Danielson and Mashaan are also plausible candidates for that role.
This looks a bit trappy but the vote goes to WINDSOR PASS, who is generally reliable and was a close second over C&D 19 days ago.
(1) Diamont Katie 13/8, Promising type. Fourth of 10 in novice at Southwell (6.1f, 9/2) on debut 15 days ago. Open to progress with that run under her belt and she's a key player. Should improve after Southwell 4th; among the best form but not setting a high standard.
2
6
2nd (6) (6/1 -269%) Rescue Mission
6
6/1(-269%)
(6) Rescue Mission 6/1, Kodiac filly. Dam unraced half-sister to smart 5f/6f winner Priceless. Represents a top yard and it will look significant if the market speaks in her favour. Major stable is going well this year and this newcomer is very much one to note.
3
3
3rd (3) (4/1 +60%) Jake Loves Laura
4
4/1(+60%)
(3) Jake Loves Laura 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Bit below form fourth of 8 in novice (33/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 6 days ago. Still, she has to be respected in a race of this nature. This looks much her best chance on form but she may well find one or two too good again.
4
7
4th (7) (13/8 +95%) Volcanic Dancer
1.625
13/8(+95%)
(7) Volcanic Dancer 13/8, Once-raced maiden. 150/1, tenth of 14 in novice at Kempton (7f) on debut 57 days ago. Hard to warm to. 150-1, green and always towards rear in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) eight weeks ago.
5th
2
5th (2) (200/1 -150%) Ellbryn
200
200/1(-150%)
(2) Ellbryn 200/1, Massaat filly. Half-sister to several winners, including 7f winner Cool Echo and 6f-1m winner Carina Palace. Dam placed at 5f/6f. Yard rarely strikes with newcomers and probably best watched this time. Massaat half-sister to four winners; stable is not the most likely source of debut winners.
6th
5
6th (5) (125/1 0%) Mishy's Star
125
125/1(0%)
(5) Mishy's Star 125/1, Once-raced maiden. Ninth of 10 in novice (200/1) at Kempton (7f) on debut 50 days ago, slowly away. Readily passed over. 200-1, upset in the stalls when always behind in novice at Kempton (7f, AW) last month.
7th
4
7th (4) (22/1 -175%) Metamora
22
22/1(-175%)
(4) Metamora 22/1, Bated Breath filly. Half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Mohi. Dam 6f winner. Yard's newcomers typically come on for a run but she's well worth a second look in the betting. Useful pedigree; probably one for later on, given her stable, but worth a market check.
18:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Jake Loves Laura sets the standard from those with experience, but this could be destined to go to one of the newcomers, with METAMORA looking the pick of them. The daughter of Bated Breath is out of a Listed winner over 6f and could have been found an ideal starting point. Rescue Mission has winners in her pedigree and may prove to be the chief threat.
DIAMONT KATIE fared best of the newcomers when fourth in a 10-runner Southwell novice on debut and, with that experience to draw upon here, she could prove too strong for likely-looking debutante Rescue Mission and Jake Loves Laura.
Diamont Katie and Jake Loves Laura have shown ability but they do not set a high standard for newcomer RESCUE MISSION.
(2) Due Date 11/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Four wins from 16 runs last year. Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap (25/1) at this C&D 19 days ago, faring best of those held up. Vulnerable for win purposes. Four AW wins in 2024 but he's been quiet in last five runs; needs to raise his game.
2
9
2nd (9) (3/2 +63%) Match Anthem
1.5
3/2(+63%)
(9) Match Anthem 3/2, Modest gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in December. 15/8, respectable fourth of 9 in minor event at the same course (6.1f) 5 days ago. Merits consideration. Ended last year with two 7f wins and he ran well back at 6f last Saturday; respected.
3
13
3rd (13) (17/2 -42%) Shades Of May
8.5
17/2(-42%)
(13) Shades Of May 17/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (5/1) 21 days ago. One to consider. Unexposed 5yo who wasn't beaten far over C&D on recent handicap debut; in the mix.
4
7
4th (7) (11/4 +8%) Lilkian
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(7) Lilkian 11/4, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2023. 2/1, very good second of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 6 days ago. Expected to be bang there. 12-time AW winner who was only just caught at Lingfield last week; key player.
5th
5
5th (5) (12/1 -33%) Heartrate
12
12/1(-33%)
(5) Heartrate 12/1, Modest gelding. Sixteen runs since last win in 2023. Seventh of 8 in handicap (14/1) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Definite chance on these terms. Big player on best 2024 form but he's been well held last twice and losing run is up to 16.
6th
4
6th (4) (16/1 +36%) Gypsy Nation
16
16/1(+36%)
(4) Gypsy Nation 16/1, Modest gelding. 66/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 6 days ago. Looks up against it on these terms. Fair fourth at Southwell latest but he's now 0-14 and this looks difficult at the weights.
7th
12
7th (12) (12/1 +14%) Q Twenty Boy
12
12/1(+14%)
(12) Q Twenty Boy 12/1, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Three wins from 19 runs last year. Sixth of 8 in handicap (33/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Claims on these terms if on a going day. 10yo who is not easy to predict but he had a near miss over C&D on penultimate run.
8th
3
8th (3) (14/1 +30%) Fast Flo
14
14/1(+30%)
(3) Fast Flo 14/1, Modest mare. Remains a maiden after 31 Flat runs. Fourth of 7 in handicap (12/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 12 days ago. Likely to find one or two too good. Went close over C&D on penultimate run but was never dangerous last time and is now 0-31.
9th
10
9th (10) (14/1 -17%) Miss Moonshine
14
14/1(-17%)
(10) Miss Moonshine 14/1, Poor mare. 11/1, fourth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 6 days ago, nearest finish. Place possibilities. Showed signs of a revival at Lingfield last week and has claims if she can build on that.
10th
1
10th (1) (17/2 -31%) Admirable Lad
8.5
17/2(-31%)
(1) Admirable Lad 17/2, Modest gelding. C&D winner. Excellent third of 10 in handicap (25/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Will be a danger to all if able to build on that. Back to form with third at Wolverhampton last time but this looks tough on these terms.
11th
11
11th (11) (125/1 -89%) One Moonbeam
125
125/1(-89%)
(11) One Moonbeam 125/1, Tenth of 11 in minor event (100/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Six-race maiden who has not shown much and needs a transformation with headgear added.
18:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Recent form suggests the likes of Lilkian, Match Anthem and Miss Moonshine can all play strong roles. However, this could finally be the time for FAST FLO to gain a first career success. A close second in a similar event over C&D on her penultimate start, Christine Dunnett's mare was a respectable fourth in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recently. A simple repeat of that level could suffice here.
On the back of an eye-catching effort in a 5f Wolverhampton handicap, ADMIRABLE LAD could be the answer with this step back up in trip a good move. Lilkian went down narrowly at Lingfield last time and looks sure to be in the thick of things once again, while Match Anthem is third choice ahead of Heartrate and Shades of May.
The vote goes to 12-time AW winner LILKIAN, who was only just caught in a 6f handicap at Lingfield last week.
(5) Secret Mistral 13/2, Returned to form when winning at Wolverhampton (5.1f) in December. However, wasn't able to repeat that effort when sixth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at the same C&D 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Still on a handy mark and Rossa Ryan takes over tonight; has the pace to lead if desired.
2
6
2nd (6) (9/2 -64%) Miggy Magic
4.5
9/2(-64%)
(6) Miggy Magic 9/2, Has shown improved form in 3 starts for current yard, bumping into a well-treated rival when second of 6 in handicap at Southwell (5f, 11/10) 6 days ago. Major player with tongue strap added. Knocking at the door for new yard; new tongue tie could beef up his finishing effort.
3
4
3rd (4) (9/2 +31%) Thunder Star
4.5
9/2(+31%)
(4) Thunder Star 9/2, Eleven runs since last win in 2023 but placed on her last 4 starts, third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 8/1) 20 days ago. Could be thereabouts once more as she switches to polytrack. Placed on her last four starts; rider takes off a useful 7lb; shouldn't be far away.
4
3
4th (3) (11/8 +54%) Rebel Path
1.375
11/8(+54%)
(3) Rebel Path 11/8, Gained first success for current yard at this course (6f) in December. Not in same form when fourth of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 5/2) 17 days ago, but he could fare better back here with visor reapplied. Comfortable 6f win here last month; weakened at Wolverhampton latest; back in trip.
5th
1
5th (1) (18/1 -80%) Rainyniteingeorgia
18
18/1(-80%)
(1) Rainyniteingeorgia 18/1, After 4 months off (had wind op), doubled her tally at Lingfield in December. Denied a clear run when fifth of 8 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 2 weeks ago, but others still preferred with hood/visor on 1st time. Two Lingfield wins at this trip; not so good on last two starts; new headgear combination.
6th
2
6th (2) (5/1 -67%) Angle Land
5
5/1(-67%)
(2) Angle Land 5/1, C&D winner. Soon back on track when 1½ lengths fourth of 8 in handicap (10/3) at this C&D 2 weeks ago. Remains well treated on old form and she can make her presence felt. Conditions to suit and this consistent mare looks set to make another bold bid.
19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
MIGGY MAGIC hasn't finished out of the top three since joining the Michael Keady stable, with his best effort arguably coming when second at Southwell six days ago. The four-year-old goes off a 1lb higher mark here and could gain his first career success. Thunder Star wasn't disgraced when third in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and could go well off 1lb lower, while Rebel Path is another to watch out for.
With blinkers applied, MIGGY MAGIC has been shaping up well for Michael Keady, only denied late on at Southwell 6 days ago, so he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Angle Land wasted no time getting back to form when making the frame over C&D last time and is respected, while Thunder Star could also be in the mix.
Miggy Magic should go well again but SECRET MISTRAL remains on a dangerous mark and has the assistance of Rossa Ryan this evening.
(3) Love Rock 12/1, Best effort when third at Wolverhampton on nursery debut in September. Possibly needed run after 10 weeks off when sixth of 8 in nursery (14/1) at this C&D 42 days ago, but will need to find improvement. Good run on her nursery debut but she's not backed it up in either start since.
2
6
2nd (6) (9/2 -50%) Kameko Spirit
4.5
9/2(-50%)
(6) Kameko Spirit 9/2, After 4 months off, took a step forward when 2½ lengths third of 8 to Sunny Time in handicap at Lingfield (5f, 9/2) 17 days ago. Could still have more to offer so she's one to consider. Last two runs have been encouraging; Rossa Ryan booked; should go well again.
3
5
3rd (5) (8/11 +42%) Sunny Time
0.727273
8/11(+42%)
(5) Sunny Time 8/11, Has benefited from the application of cheekpieces last 2 starts, winning 8-runner handicap at Lingfield (5f, 9/4) 17 days ago, making running and in command final 1f. Can make another bold bid. Improved for cheekpieces the last twice; likely there is more to come; obvious claims.
4
1
4th (1) (20/1 +0%) Navarre Special
20
20/1(+0%)
(1) Navarre Special 20/1, Finished closer than previously when 4¾ lengths eighth of 11 to Top Biller in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 40/1) 19 days ago, though only beat a few home even having been well positioned. Makes polytrack debut. Well beaten in two sprint handicaps for this yard; down in grade but has enough to prove.
5th
7
5th (7) (28/1 -133%) La Mer Grise
28
28/1(-133%)
(7) La Mer Grise 28/1, After a further 11 weeks off, fared better than previously making second handicap start when 3¾ lengths fourth of 8 to Sunny Time at Lingfield (5f, 33/1) 17 days ago. Task is now to build on latest effort. Latest Lingfield 4th (behind two of these) was more encouraging; needs a personal best.
6th
4
6th (4) (7/2 +22%) Top Biller
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(4) Top Biller 7/2, After 4 months off and with blinkers applied, much improved when winning at Wolverhampton in January. Backed that up when fourth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 9/1) 13 days ago, so he's not taken lightly. Two improved runs since blinkers were added; should be quick enough for 5f; respected.
7th
8
7th (8) (50/1 -100%) The Magic Turtle
50
50/1(-100%)
(8) The Magic Turtle 50/1, Down the field in 5 starts last year and fared little better when 4¾ lengths fifth of 8 to Sunny Time in handicap at Lingfield (5f, 50/1) 17 days ago. Much more required. She has recorded a peak RPR of just 36 in her six start thus far; improvement a must.
8th
2
8th (2) (50/1 -150%) Orlando Magic
50
50/1(-150%)
(2) Orlando Magic 50/1, Didn't offer much in his 3 starts last year, last of 13 in novice at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm, 150/1) in September. Makes handicap debut on first run for yard after leaving Michael Appleby. Well beaten in three runs for M Appleby as a 2yo; gelded prior to stable/handicap/AW debut.
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
SUNNY TIME had Kameko Spirit (third) and La Mer Grise (fourth) behind when accounting for a subsequent winner by a length at Lingfield on his latest outing and has only been raised 5lb for that success. The son of Without Parole is aided by the booking of Luke Morris and could prove very hard to beat. Top Biller finished a respectable fourth at Southwell last time and should remain competitive off a 1lb lower mark.
SUNNY TIME has been going the right way with cheekpieces added on his last 2 starts, making all to open his account at Lingfield last time, and he is taken to score again now that he's up and running. Top Biller has also improved since headgear has been applied and is feared most, ahead of Kameko Spirit.
Most of these have plenty to prove but SUNNY TIME (nap) is a notable exception and he can follow up his recent Lingfield win.
(3) Arcadian Nights 5/1, Resumed winning ways from a 1 lb higher mark at Wolverhampton (9.5f) this time last year and comes here having not been disgraced when fifth of 10 over that track/trip 6 weeks ago without being seen to best effect. Not out of things. Went close at Wolverhampton two starts ago and had wide trip when fifth there last time.
2
2
2nd (2) (2/1 +43%) Urban Sprawl
2
2/1(+43%)
(2) Urban Sprawl 2/1, Latest win at Pontefract (1m, heavy) in October. 7/1, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 12 days ago. Yet to finish out of the frame in 4 previous visits here and he's respected back up in trip. In good form over 1m the last twice; can play a leading role if seeing out the trip.
3
7
3rd (7) (18/1 -64%) Aiming High
18
18/1(-64%)
(7) Aiming High 18/1, Comes here operating 2 lb below last winning mark and not seen to best effect when fifth of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Southwell (11.1f) 16 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Would be a danger to all if getting a good pace to aim at. Won off 2lb higher at Kempton last June but not at the same level more recently.
4
9
4th (9) (11/4 +8%) Rainwater
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(9) Rainwater 11/4, Winner at Wolverhampton (9.5f) in November. Good second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (10.2f, 9/1) 9 days ago, clear of rest. This is a higher grade than he usually contests but he's evidently in good heart and could well be the answer. Won at Wolverhampton in November and has continued in good form (including C&D); player.
5th
6
5th (6) (66/1 -32%) Forca Timao
66
66/1(-32%)
(6) Forca Timao 66/1, Winless since 2022 and yet to make an impact for present stable, equipped with a hood/tongue tie when last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 80/1) 21 days ago. Back up in trip here and he has it to prove. Continues to tumble down the weights but he's failed to beat a rival the last twice.
6th
5
6th (5) (50/1 -257%) Running The Game
50
50/1(-257%)
(5) Running The Game 50/1, AW novice winner at Kempton (11f) 12 months ago. Shaped better than form figures suggest on occasions since but absent since finishing a distant last of 11 in handicap at Epsom (12f) 6 months ago. The betting can guide on this return following wind surgery. One to watch in the betting after break and wind surgery but a major turnaround is needed.
7th
4
7th (4) (10/1 +29%) Dayzee
10
10/1(+29%)
(4) Dayzee 10/1, Unreliable sort (has refused to race). Ninth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 12 days ago, albeit not seen to best effect having been short of room home turn. Still, she's not one to be making too many excuses for as a rule. Step back in right direction last month and latest run can be excused; not discounted.
8th
1
8th (1) (5/1 -43%) Samra Star
5
5/1(-43%)
(1) Samra Star 5/1, Much improved from debut when landing 11-runner Wolverhampton novice (9.5f) in August. Not disgraced in pair of handicaps more recently, fitted with a hood when third of 5 back at that venue (8.6f) 24 days ago. Remains early days now stepping back up in trip. Could do with settling better but not beaten far in first two handicaps and not ruled out.
9th
8
9th (8) (12/1 -100%) Palazzo Persico
12
12/1(-100%)
(8) Palazzo Persico 12/1, Doubled his tally over this C&D in a first-time visor in December. Latest fourth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f) suggests the assessor has him about right at present but the return to this shorter trip is likely in his favour. Won over C&D last month; fair fourth at Southwell latest; firmly in calculations back here.
20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Placed on each of his last three starts, including over C&D last month, RAINWATER can be rewarded for his consistency on this occasion, with Warren Fentiman taking off a handy 7lb in the saddle. Not beaten too far at Wolverhampton last time out, Samra Star looks to be a key threat, along with Urban Sprawl, who has the potential to improve for going up in trip.
RAINWATER has been acquitting himself with plenty of credit in recent months and with his rider taking off a handy 7 lb, he could be worth siding with, admittedly in a higher grade than he usually contests. Urban Sprawl has yet to finish out of the frame around here and lines up in good order, so heads the dangers. Aiming High and Samra Star are others in the mix.
Chelmsford brings out the best in PALAZZO PERSICO and he is taken to post his third C&D win. Rainwater can pose the main threat.
(6) Cherry King 6/5, 13/8, creditable second of 8 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 2 days ago. Obvious claims. Runner-up in his first four starts this year including a near miss on Tuesday; respected.
2
4
2nd (4) (14/1 +22%) Artificer
14
14/1(+22%)
(4) Artificer 14/1, Eighth of 10 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 23 days ago, weakening when not clear run over 1f out. Others more persuasive. Lightly raced 4yo but she has form figures of 0958 in handicaps; down the list.
3
1
3rd (1) (15/8 -25%) Billy Mcgarry
1.875
15/8(-25%)
(1) Billy Mcgarry 15/8, Three wins from 11 runs last year. 11/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago, having run of race but still pulling clear of the remainder. Enters calculations with a repeat. Got back on track with a close second at Southwell; 2lb well in here and he's a big player.

25/1(-14%)
(9) Venus Slipper 25/1, Out of form on turf/AW during last summer and whilst she may have needed the run after 6 months off when sixth of 8 in minor event (17/2) at Southwell (8.1f) 13 days ago, she will need to take a big step forward from that if she's to figure. Blinkers on 1st time. 11-race maiden who was beaten 9l at Southwell on recent stable debut; new headgear.

40/1(-233%)
(7) Wrath Of Hector 40/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in August. Ninth of 12 in minor event at Southwell (7.1f, 14/1) 15 days ago. May strip fitter here given that was his first start for 10 weeks but he's an infrequent winner nowadays. All seven wins have been at shorter trips and he struggled at Southwell last time.

6th (2) (13/2 +24%) United Force

13/2(+24%)
(2) United Force 13/2, C&D winner. Three wins from 15 runs last year. Latest win at Southwell in December. Bit below form seventh of 14 in handicap (11/2) at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago. Likely type to bounce back. Won at Southwell last month and he had some traffic issues last time; not ruled out.

20/1(+0%)
(3) Genta 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden who ran below form when thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 15 days ago, ridden when hampered over 1f out. Cheekpieces reached for now but others make greater appeal. Seven-race maiden who was tailed off last time; plenty to prove with headgear now added.

8th (5) (12/1 +40%) Reverberation

12/1(+40%)
(5) Reverberation 12/1, Veteran C&D winner who stepped up on his yard debut effort when third over 10f here in December. However, not replicated that level in 2 subsequent starts, racing freely when fourth of 8 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (1m) 10 days ago. Dual course winner but he needs to rediscover his spark to pose a threat.

9th (8) (100/1 -52%) Devilwala

100/1(-52%)
(8) Devilwala 100/1, Sold cheaply out of Tim Easterby's yard and offered little all 3 starts following a lengthy absence for new stable, in refitted tongue strap when last of 8 in handicap (100/1) at Southwell (7.1f) 7 days ago. Visor applied now but he's not one to be interested in. His last win was in 2022 and he's struggled for new yard this winter.
20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BILLY MCGARRY looks the one to beat if building on a strong runner-up effort when worn down late on over 7f at Southwell last week. The six-year-old may have too much for United Force, who has strong claims based on his success at Southwell a couple of starts ago, while Artificer is another to consider on the pick of her form.
CHERRY KING once again found only one too good at Wolverhampton on Tuesday and can surely find a race soon. Billy McGarry following his good Southwell second is next best, ahead of United Force.
Preference is for BILLY MCGARRY, who was a close second at Southwell last week and is 2lb well in off the same mark here.
