1	5 1st (5) (3/1 +50%) Kitaro Kich		3 3/1(+50%)																															(5) Kitaro Kich 3/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in January. 11/4, good third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 31 days ago, running on. Of interest again. In peak form at 1m of late; travels strongly and worth another go at 7f.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 -11%) Bint Havana Gold		5 5/1(-11%)																															(3) Bint Havana Gold 5/1, Consistent filly who got back on the up when successful in 8-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (7f) 3 weeks ago, regaining the lead again inside final 1f. Entitled to be competitive again from revised mark. Better known as sprinter but did well to beat next-time winners over 7f latest; drawn wide.
3	9 3rd (9) (6/1 +45%) Forever Proud		6 6/1(+45%)																															(9) Forever Proud 6/1, Course winner. Four wins from 18 runs last year. Latest win at Kempton (7f) in January. 22/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 5 days ago, slowly away and always behind. Return to class 6 company in her favour here. Four wins for yard since mid-December but signs of flagging recently after busy spell.
4	4 4th (4) (10/3 +58%) H Key Lails		3.333333 10/3(+58%)																															(4) H Key Lails 10/3, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in December. 5/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 38 days ago, doing too much too soon. Can make presence felt. Course winner at 1m; faded back over 7f latest; not ruled out back on this track.
5th	10 5th (10) (18/1 +10%) Willow's Kiss		18 18/1(+10%)																															(10) Willow's Kiss 18/1, Daughter of Twilight Son who has improved with each run in maidens, fourth of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, AW) 20 days ago. Switch to handicaps in her favour but opening mark demands another step forward. Clear 7f promise in qualifying runs, still green at Lingfield recently; handicap debut.
6th	11 6th (11) (7/1 +36%) The Spotlight Kid		7 7/1(+36%)																															(11) The Spotlight Kid 7/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps at Kempton in November. Remained in good order since, creditable third of 9 in handicap back at that venue (8f) 22 days ago. Blinkers back on and he's a sound each-way player once more. Having a good winter, winning twice; had close call here in January; offputting draw today.
7th	12 7th (12) (20/1 -100%) Thomas Equinas		20 20/1(-100%)																															(12) Thomas Equinas 20/1, 4-time C&D winner. Latest win here in October. 7/1, below form seventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Five course wins, latest in October, but not seen the best of him since; needs revival.
8th	2 8th (2) (11/1 +39%) Love Your Work		11 11/1(+39%)																															(2) Love Your Work 11/1, Three wins from 19 runs last year. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 12/1) 13 days ago, fading over 1f out. That was his first start for 8 weeks and he comes here operating just 1 lb above his last winning mark. Good record for H Turner but below best on last 2 starts and 7f is on the sharp side.
9th	13 9th (13) (22/1 -10%) Beveragino		22 22/1(-10%)																															(13) Beveragino 22/1, Fair 7f winner for Michael Bell who arrives having not been operating at her best for new yard of late, only sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Visor/tongue tie now reached for and worth noting if market support came for her again. Won 7f Wolverhampton maiden as 3yo; failed to progress; fair yard debut; faded latest.
10th	1 10th (1) (11/1 +8%) Jimmy Knocker		11 11/1(+8%)																															(1) Jimmy Knocker 11/1, Stepped up on reappearance run to get off the mark, winning 8-runner handicap (13/2) at Newcastle (6f) in January. Didn't settle well enough off a modest pace when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 31 days ago and he's not discounted back up in trip. Close up in C&D maiden last spring; 6f winner at Newcastle in January; likely involved.

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CAPUCHINERO has been edging down the weights in recent months and she went agonisingly close under Oliver Carmichael at Wolverhampton last time. Bint Havana Gold (third) has since franked that form by winning at the Midlands venue so, off just 2lb higher, Alice Haynes' mare appears to hold outstanding claims. Kitaro Kich continues to run well and he remains of interest, while others to note include Sonmarg and handicap debutant Willow's Kiss.

Plenty of in-form sorts in opposition including KITARO KICH, who, having shed the maiden tag on his penultimate start, again shaped well in the circumstances when third at Wolverhampton 31 days ago and he remains of interest from the same mark. Likeable filly Bint Havana Gold following her last-time-out success, H Key Lails and Capuchinero are just a trio of others to consider.

A few with possibilities but KITARO KICH travels strongly enough to think he can make a serious go of it back over 7f.

1	3 1st (3) (13/8 +46%) Jesse Luc		1.625 13/8(+46%)																															(3) Jesse Luc 13/8, C&D winner. 3/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Southwell (6.1f) 12 days ago. Up 3 lb but he can go very well again in his hat-trick bid. Making good progress as a sprinter with three 6f wins already this year, including C&D.
2	1 2nd (1) (18/1 +0%) Francisco		18 18/1(+0%)																															(1) Francisco 18/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, eighth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 20 days ago, very slowly away. Has work to do. Showed 7f ability as 2yo; missed 2024; promising yard debut (5f); very slowly away since.
3	4 3rd (4) (11/4 +21%) Southbank		2.75 11/4(+21%)																															(4) Southbank 11/4, 3-time C&D winner. Four wins from 17 runs last year. Latest win here in December. Good second of 9 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. Not taken lightly. Fine 3-4 strike-rate over C&D; first run here since latest win in December; 7lb higher.
4	2 4th (2) (11/1 +39%) Flag Carrier		11 11/1(+39%)																															(2) Flag Carrier 11/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2024. Below form sixth of 11 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 16/1) 20 days ago, never nearer. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Sole win at 7f last January; fairly low key on AW of late, no impact back over 6f latest.
5th	9 5th (9) (33/1 -136%) Lion Ring		33 33/1(-136%)																															(9) Lion Ring 33/1, 4-time course winner. Four wins from 19 runs last year. 28/1, below form fifth of 9 in handicap at Lingfield (5f, AW) 11 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Won all 4 races on Polytrack in September and October, three here; not so good of late.
6th	7 6th (7) (20/1 -43%) Zaman Daar		20 20/1(-43%)																															(7) Zaman Daar 20/1, 11/1, raced freely when sixth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Can give a good account if settling better. Slow starts aren't helpful but capable and close up over 6f at Wolverhampton this month.
7th	10 7th (10) (5/1 +38%) Poetic Jack		5 5/1(+38%)																															(10) Poetic Jack 5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in December. 10/1, solid third of 11 in handicap at this C&D 47 days ago. Shortlist material. Course winner at 7f; made all at Lingfield (6f) in December; poorly drawn since.
8th	5 8th (5) (11/1 +8%) Cooperation		11 11/1(+8%)																															(5) Cooperation 11/1, C&D winner. Twenty runs since last win in 2023. Last of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 10/1) 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Weighted to go well if shrugging off latest effort. C&D winner as 3yo; two close calls since hood fitted; wasn't on song at Newcastle latest.
9th	6 9th (6) (18/1 -80%) Not Just Yet		18 18/1(-80%)																															(6) Not Just Yet 18/1, Twenty one runs since last win in 2023. Creditable third of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 24 days ago. One win from 27 Flat runs though. 0-13 on AW but three narrow defeats on Tapeta for this yard; draw has gone against him.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Southbank struck over C&D in December before recording back-to-back second-placed finishes at Wolverhampton and he merits the utmost respect, but the vote goes to JESSE LUC. Mike Murphy's gelding has won three of his last four starts, with the latest of those coming at Southwell recently. He's only 3lb higher and with Rossa Ryan back aboard, he looks set to mount another serious challenge. Man On A Mission is another to consider.

A few with chances but JESSE LUC is thriving at present and fancied to make light of a 3 lb weights rise and complete a hat-trick. Southbank could emerge as the main danger to Mike Murphy's C&D scorer ahead of Poetic Jack and Man On A Mission.

Southbank is respected but JESSE LUC (nap) should manage the small rise for his recent Southwell win and continue on the upgrade.

1	8 1st (8) (2/1 +56%) Zooks		2 2/1(+56%)																															(8) Zooks 2/1, Still looking for first success but has acquitted herself well both starts this year, in first-time cheekpieces when second of 9 in minor event at Southwell (12.1f, 15/8) 27 days ago. Could be in the mix. 0-19 now but came second in 1m6f course handicap and 1m4f Southwell classified last month.
2	5 2nd (5) (5/1 -43%) Smokey Malone		5 5/1(-43%)																															(5) Smokey Malone 5/1, Returned to winning ways in minor event at Southwell (12.1f) in January and backed up that effort when third of 8 in handicap (15/8) at same C&D 15 days ago, nearest finish. Merits consideration back up in trip. Placed in a handicap since winning Southwell classified last month; this C&D also suits.
3	12 3rd (12) (6/1 +33%) This Time Maybe		6 6/1(+33%)																															(12) This Time Maybe 6/1, Maiden but was placed in handicaps at Wolverhampton (12.2f) first 2 starts this year. Never a threat when fifth of 11 in minor event (11/2) at the same C&D 17 days ago, so more needed as he goes further up in trip. Shade disappointing last time but placed twice over 1m4f at Wolverhampton in January.
4	6 4th (6) (9/1 +36%) Foinix		9 9/1(+36%)																															(6) Foinix 9/1, Course winner. Successful in back-to-back minor events (both at around 12f) in August but hasn't been in quite the same form in handicaps since, sixth of 10 at Lingfield (10f, 5/1) 36 days ago. Back up in trip. Needs to better recent efforts but is back on a good mark and this C&D suits.
5th	4 5th (4) (11/1 -10%) Virtual Hug		11 11/1(-10%)																															(4) Virtual Hug 11/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2024. Wasn't in same form as first start this year when seventh of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f, 10/1) 38 days ago, but he's not ruled out from 3 lb below his last winning mark. Second off this mark at Wolverhampton two runs ago; a possible on first visit here.
6th	9 6th (9) (11/1 -10%) The Resdev Way		11 11/1(-10%)																															(9) The Resdev Way 11/1, Ended long losing run at Wolverhampton (14f) in November. Bounce back now called for having finished last of 8 to Smokey Malone in minor event at Southwell (12.1f, 7/2) 27 days ago, but return to this longer trip should suit. Veteran; won at Wolverhampton in autumn; needs to rebound for poor performance last month.
7th	2 7th (2) (22/1 -10%) Unification		22 22/1(-10%)																															(2) Unification 22/1, Failed to improve sent handicapping last year and, after 8 months off, was too free when last of 10 at Wolverhampton (14f, 66/1) 26 days ago. Has fallen further in the weights but others more persuasive at present. Very disappointing maiden who finished last at Wolverhampton this month, after a layoff.
8th	7 8th (7) (9/2 +44%) Mhajim		4.5 9/2(+44%)																															(7) Mhajim 9/2, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022. Regular slow starter and made little impression when fifth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 5/1) 15 days ago. Lurks on a dangerous mark but he needs everything to drop right. Without win since 2022 but can pose a threat from off the pace if this race is run to suit.
9th	14 9th (14) (20/1 +60%) Rogue Raider		20 20/1(+60%)																															(14) Rogue Raider 20/1, Twelve-race maiden. Mid-field in 2 starts at this course (14f) at the turn of the year, but lesser effort when tenth of 11 in handicap (66/1) at Wolverhampton (16.6f) 40 days ago. Others preferred. 0-12; twice soundly beaten since his respectable sixth here in December.
10th	1 10th (1) (50/1 -150%) Vitruvian Dawn		50 50/1(-150%)																															(1) Vitruvian Dawn 50/1, Little impact in a trio of novice races, but denied a clear run on handicap debut when thirteenth of 14 at Kempton (12f, 33/1) 29 days ago. Still has work to do, though, with hood reapplied. Unexposed after only four starts but was well beaten on last month's handicap debut (1m4f).
11th	13 11th (13) (80/1 -21%) Reason To Pass		80 80/1(-21%)																															(13) Reason To Pass 80/1, Remains with little solid form, again finishing well held when sixth of 7 in handicap at Southwell (11.1f, 80/1) 12 days ago. Looks to be up against it over this distance for the first time. Nine-race maiden who has struggled to get competitive in recent months; tries a new trip.
12th	10 12th (10) (40/1 +20%) Mapogo		40 40/1(+20%)																															(10) Mapogo 40/1, Continues to struggle for form, eighth of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, 50/1) 36 days ago. Has enough to prove as he tries this longer distance. Regressive maiden who has been out of form since last spring; difficult to enthuse over.

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Smith needs serious thought off just 3lb higher than his latest win at Lingfield. However, this shorter trip might not be ideal for him and the vote goes to previous course winner SMOKEY MALONE. Having won off higher marks in the past, a current rating of 51 gives the Outstrip gelding every chance and another bold showing is expected. Mhajim and This Time Maybe are other solid options.

SMITH took advantage of his much-reduced mark when scoring at Lingfield on his latest outing, having to overcome trouble in running, so a 3 lb rise back up in the weights might not be enough to prevent him from following up. Heading the list of dangers is Smokey Malone, who has returned to form on his last 2 starts, with Zooks also considered.

After two good runs over 1m4f at Southwell, SMOKEY MALONE might be seen to even better effect over this C&D.

1	3 1st (3) (16/5 +51%) Sir Rodneyredblood		3.2 16/5(+51%)																															(3) Sir Rodneyredblood 16/5, 4-time C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f, 18/1) 24 days ago. Back to a potentially lenient mark. Below best in recent starts but down the weights and a soft lead would aid his cause.
2	4 2nd (4) (16/1 -33%) So Obsessed		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) So Obsessed 16/1, C&D winner. Four wins from 13 runs last year. 18/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time with more needed. Wouldn't be a solid option but the tongue-tie could bring something.
3	6 3rd (6) (33/1 -65%) Mehmo		33 33/1(-65%)																															(6) Mehmo 33/1, 25/1, first run since leaving Michael Appleby when sixth of 9 in handicap at Southwell (5f) 60 days ago, not ideally placed. Others still more persuasive. Multiple winner on a useful mark but hasn't been at his best this winter.
4	7 4th (7) (7/2 -17%) War Zone		3.5 7/2(-17%)																															(7) War Zone 7/2, Career best when winning 7-runner minor event (7/2) at this C&D 14 days ago. Big shout back in handicap company. Appreciated the return to 5f when winning a 7-runner classified race over C&D 2 weeks ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (2/1 +20%) State Of Madness		2 2/1(+20%)																															(5) State Of Madness 2/1, 11/4, respectable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 30 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Merits consideration. Drawn wide and unraced on Polytrack but as an in-form contender he's respected.
6th	1 6th (1) (14/1 +30%) Dream By Day		14 14/1(+30%)																															(1) Dream By Day 14/1, Ninth of 11 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 20 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Can get behind in his races, as was the case when seventh in this last year.
7th	2 7th (2) (5/1 -11%) Forest Gunner		5 5/1(-11%)																															(2) Forest Gunner 5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 6 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 11/2) 19 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Has good chance on pick of form. Close up in a novice but was only fifth of the six runners on handicap debut at Newcastle.
8th	8 8th (8) (20/1 -100%) Sassy Redhead		20 20/1(-100%)																															(8) Sassy Redhead 20/1, Course winner. Not disgraced when fourth of 8 in minor event (20/1) at Southwell (5f) 15 days ago. No forlorn hope. Didn't run too badly last time but slow starts are holding her back and perhaps needs 6f.

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

State Of Madness is interesting judged on recent form but a wide berth in stall eight could prove tricky and is a concern. MEHMO, on the other hand, has the benefit of a position near the inside rail and, having gone well here before, he looks worth chancing off a competitive rating on just his second start for his current yard. War Zone also appeals after winning a classified stakes over C&D a fortnight ago.

WAR ZONE looked better than ever when bagging his second C&D victory two weeks ago so gets the vote here at the chief expense of State Of Madness who is weighted to go close on his first go on polytrack. Forest Gunner also figures on a handy-looking mark and needs factoring in too along with course scorer Sassy Redhead.

Stall eight might influence another wide trip but STATE OF MADNESS should get a true pace to chase and he's in better form than most.

Up in trip. Blinkers on 1st time. Can make presence felt. In good form this year and one of the more likely types in new blinkers (replacing visor).
1	1 1st (1) (4/6 +67%) Elterwater		0.666667 4/6(+67%)																															(1) Elterwater 4/6, Resumed her progress with emphatic victory in 7-runner handicap at this C&D (5/2) 5 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty but has to be taken seriously. Did it easily over C&D on Saturday night and can make light of a 5lb penalty.

Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 9/2) 19 days ago. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Career win number nine at Wolverhampton last month but well held back there since.

One to consider. Never a serious threat back on Flat latest, taking record under both codes to 0-9.
5th	12 5th (12) (33/1 -18%) Cracking Filly		33 33/1(-18%)																															(12) Cracking Filly 33/1, 33/1, only fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 49 days ago. Others more persuasive. 0-10; December's third was creditable but tailed off at Lingfield since.

Winner here in August. 4/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (8f). Off 103 days. Up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Michael Wigham. Decent 1m course form but well held final start and changed yards ahead of return.
8th	10 8th (10) (17/2 -70%) Jenson Benson		8.5 17/2(-70%)																															(10) Jenson Benson 17/2, 4-time course winner. Good second of 7 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. In the picture. Two years since last of four course wins but was a close second over C&D latest.
9th	5 9th (5) (4/1 +20%) Cloud Free		4 4/1(+20%)																															(5) Cloud Free 4/1, Course winner. Winner here in October. 5/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time, creditable third of 7 in handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Needs considering. Course winner; two creditable thirds over 1m2f for new yard this year; place claims again.

A tentative vote goes to JENSON BENSON, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort over C&D last time out, where he had the reopposing Cloud Free (third) over a length behind. The latter is now 2lb better off at the weights, but Shaun Lycett's charge is taken to regain the winning thread at the main expense of Elterwater, who has scored on two of her three starts at this track.

A case can be made for a few of these but ELTERWATER is hard to oppose under a 5 lb penalty for her convincing success over C&D last time out. Handily-weighted I Can't Believe is next on the list ahead of Cloud Free and Birthday Angel.

A race which revolves around ELTERWATER, who will be hard to beat if in the same mood as when scoring easily over C&D on Saturday.

1	4 1st (4) (6/4 +55%) Urban Lion		1.5 6/4(+55%)																															(4) Urban Lion 6/4, C&D winner. Winner here in August. Very good fourth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Yarmouth (8f, good to soft). Off 143 days but he's not taken lightly. Won 1m course maiden on previous AW start; interesting runner back from a break.
2	8 2nd (8) (7/1 +30%) Shimmering Spin		7 7/1(+30%)																															(8) Shimmering Spin 7/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Eighth of 10 in novice (22/1) at Goodwood (9.9f, good). Off 177 days. Since had a wind op and needs it to spark improvement on his handicap debut. Second in C&D maiden last year; had wind op ahead of handicap debut/reappearance.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/1 +20%) Helm Rock		4 4/1(+20%)																															(2) Helm Rock 4/1, Latest win at Southwell in November. 8/1, solid third of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 10 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Holds very good form claims. Close third off this mark latest and Billy Loughnane takes the reins now; new headgear.
4	1 4th (1) (6/1 -20%) Longlai		6 6/1(-20%)																															(1) Longlai 6/1, 13/2, seventh of 9 in handicap at this C&D 77 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Needs considering. Better than last two form figures of 2024 imply; can go well if fully primed after break.
5th	7 5th (7) (8/1 +20%) Charming Whisper		8 8/1(+20%)																															(7) Charming Whisper 8/1, Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy, 16/1). Off 113 days. Back down in trip and not ruled out. Largely consistent and acts on Polytrack but this is his first run for nearly four months.
6th	5 6th (5) (200/1 -400%) Court Of Session		200 200/1(-400%)																															(5) Court Of Session 200/1, 3-time C&D winner. Last of 6 in handicap (80/1) at this course (7f) 70 days ago so needs to get back on track. Well beaten at huge odds in two runs for his new stable; hard to fancy.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -344%) High Point		20 20/1(-344%)																															(6) High Point 20/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good to soft) in October on his final run for Eve Johnson Houghton. In the mix for his new handler. Turf win in cheekpieces on final start for previous yard; headgear left off by new stable.
8th	3 8th (3) (7/1 -27%) Tempus		7 7/1(-27%)																															(3) Tempus 7/1, Twenty three runs since last win in 2022. 6/1, fourth of 5 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 12 days ago, not ideally placed. Ought to be in the shake-up. On losing run but in-frame efforts last twice show he's in reasonable form.

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HELM ROCK didn't do himself any favours when racing wide at Wolverhampton last time out but he did well to finish third, and dropping back to 1m should suit. The booking of Billy Loughnane is eye-catching and the seven-year-old can regain the winning thread at the main expense of High Point, who has switched yards since scoring at Salisbury last October. Longlai and Tempus cannot be ruled out either.

A tight-knit handicap in which HELM ROCK edges the vote on the back of his good recent Wolverhampton third. Urban Lion is also weighted to have a big say and could emerge as the main danger after a break, although Tempus and Longlai both need considering too.

Longlai is a potential class act but narrow preference is for HELM ROCK who went close off this mark recently.
