LTO Selection:

17:30 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do the best. However, if we take into account their recent performances and potential, Rogue Soldier and Flame Spirit seem to be strong contenders. As for preference, it depends on personal opinions and factors such as odds, jockey, and trainer.

CUE'S BEAU overcame a slow start to finish with a late rattle on debut at Kempton last month and could be a different proposition now she knows more about what is required. She got better the further she went that day and has been found a suitable race to make progress. Flame Spirit sets a reasonable standard on official ratings and is feared most, although Monte Linas is an interesting newcomer worth noting in the betting market.

CUE'S BEAU may have been sent off at big odds on her debut, but she caught the eye with her finishing effort when runner-up at Kempton last month and she can build on that effort to go one better. Flame Spirit got back on track when third at Wolverhampton last time and could be the main danger, with Monte Linas the pick of the newcomers.

There was plenty to like about CUE'S BEAU's recent debut second and she gets the vote with improvement on the cards.

LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Letmelivemylife and Wyvern are the most likely to do well based on their recent form and performance in their respective races. Spirit Of Nguru and Mobashr could also potentially be contenders if they are able to bounce back from their recent performances. Baileysgutfeeling and Gobi Sunset are less likely to be in the running for the win. Priscilla's Wish has potential to bounce back but may be a lower odds choice.

Letmelivemylife is on a roll and is respected in his bid for a four-timer, while Baileysgutfeeling warrants consideration on his first start since being gelded. However, preference is for MARLAY PARK, who has gone well fresh in the past and still has scope to improve on a synthetic surface. The selection wasn't beaten far in either of his two previous AW starts and, having previously won under Pat Cosgrave, there is a lot to like on his seasonal return.

LETMELIVEMYLIFE hasn't looked back since joining Sean Curran and a 2 lb rise in the weights for his latest C&D success doesn't look sufficient to prevent him from completing a four-timer. Both Wyvern and Mobashr arrive in good nick and can chase home the selection in that order.

Wyvern should go well again but the thriving LETMELIVEMYLIFE (nap) is fancied to complete a quick four-timer.

(3) Hashtagmetoo 5.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in March. Creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f, 4/1) 16 days ago and she's a pretty reliable proposition at this level.

(8) Boudica Warrior 40/1, 14/1 and blinkers on for first time over obstacles, pulled up in juvenile hurdle at Plumpton (17.8f, good to firm). Off 7 months. First run for yard after leaving Amy Murphy.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Kentucky Kingdom is likely to do well based on the summary.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM was only just denied in an apprentices' race over course and distance last week and created the impression he is capable of exploiting a lenient current mark. Joe Leavy retains the ride after that near-miss and his 7lb claim is a real plus. The Bay Warrior won over C&D on his penultimate start and is feared from just 2lb higher, while Princess Nieve is respected dropped back in distance on debut for a new yard.

KENTUCKY KINGDOM is 4 lb below his last winning mark and served notice that he's ready to cash in when runner-up over C&D a week ago, just failing. He makes plenty of appeal, with Kenilworth King and The Bay Warrior potential threats.

The return to this track suited KENTUCKY KINGDOM last week and he can improve on his healthy strike-rate over C&D.

Haunted Dream

6/1(-100%)

5th
5th (4) Court Of Session (6.5/1 +28%)
Court Of Session

6.5/1(+28%)
(4) Court Of Session 6.5/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. Latest win here in November. 15/2, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 66 days ago. That was a rare below par effort on all weather and he can bounce back to form.
6th
6th (6) Aqwaam (6/1 +50%)
Aqwaam

6/1(+50%)
(6) Aqwaam 6/1, Built on earlier promise to open his account in 11.8f handicap at the Galway Festival last year. Not in same form in 3 starts thereafter but did travel well for a long way when fifth on final start at Newmarket (12f) in October. Completely unexposed on AW and market should guide here.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, Simply Sondheim seems to have the strongest chance of doing well as they had six wins from ten runs last year and made a winning return in a handicap race 19 days ago. They are expected to be thereabouts again from a slightly higher mark.

Haunted Dream was last seen finishing a fair third over 1m4f at Newmarket in October last year and must enter calculations on his return to the all-weather off a break, but SIMPLY SONDHEIM is narrowly preferred. George Boughey's four-year-old made a pleasing return to action when scoring by half a length at Kempton over 1m3f earlier this month and a 3lb raised mark looks unlikely to stop him following up. City Streak completes the shortlist.

An intriguing contest with the narrow vote in favour of CITY STREAK. He ended last term on the up, beaten only by one who subsequently finished runner-up at listed level and, still low mileage on all-weather, it's likely he can do better again as a 4-y-o. The likeable Haunted Dream and prolific winner Simply Sondheim are others fancied to be in the mix.

The drop back to 1m2f isn't certain to benefit Simply Sondheim who is taken on with CIVIL LAW, the mount of Billy Loughnane.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Based on the summary, Jumira Bridge seems to be the most promising horse as it has won its last race and is expected to perform well with a 4 lb increase in weight. Saaheq, a C&D winner, also has a good chance of performing well having placed second in its last race. Mustaffiz and Street Life have the potential to bounce back from their recent losses and should also be considered. The other horses have either had long runs of not winning or lack a strong recent performance, so they may not fare as well.

JUMIRA BRIDGE made a winning return to handicapping over 6f at this track last month and a 4lb raised mark may not be enough to hold him back, given he kept on to score by a length and a quarter on that occasion. Saaheq filled the runner-up spot over this trip at Southwell last time and is feared, while the class-dropping Street Life is another to bear in mind.

MUSTAFFIZ was a bit too keen for his own good at Wolverhampton last time and is worth another chance back down to 5f given the form he was in. Saaheq and Red Walls are feared most.

Saaheq is of some interest after his Southwell second two weeks ago but STREET LIFE may be able to capitalise on the drop in class.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Concorde is predicted to do well based on the summary.

Turned out quickly after a stylish win at Redcar on Monday, CONCORDE must hold every chance of following up on his return to the all-weather despite a 6lb penalty. My Roxanne is a maiden through six starts but she ran a career-best last time out at Lingfield, while Dame Laura Knight remains open to improvement and is one to watch out for on her handicap debut.

CONCORDE proved a different proposition on the back of being gelded/6 months off when bolting up on handicap debut at Redcar 3 days ago and he's hard to oppose under a penalty with the prospect of more to come. My Roxanne may be one who gives the selection most to think about.

Having bolted up at Redcar on Monday this looks good for CONCORDE to defy a penalty.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, Kiss My Face seems to have the strongest chance of doing well, having just won her last three races and making her polytrack debut. The other horses have either had a long period of time since their last win or have had less impressive recent performances.

KISS MY FACE has been a revelation since upped in trip on the all-weather and the four-timer looks very much on the cards - five if you include a hurdles success at Catterick in February. World Without Love has yet to win over this far but she did it well over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start, while Heath Rise will likely run well in defeat once more.

KISS MY FACE has been thriving lately and he's fancied to complete a four-timer despite the presence of World Without Love, who could find some improvement this year. The remaining trio can all have a case made for them, also.

Kiss My Face isn't opposed lightly but WORLD WITHOUT LOVE will be a real threat if reproducing her best 3yo form.

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.
