16:55 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5.5/1 +8%) Chamber Choir	5.5 5.5/1(+8%)	(2) Chamber Choir 5.5/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Ninth of 10 in handicap (4/1) at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. 6f winner at Wolverhampton in July; dropped away having made running latest; contender.
2	6 2nd (6) (14/1 -17%) Selina's Star	14 14/1(-17%)	(6) Selina's Star 14/1, Modest form. Below form fifth of 10 in handicap at this course (5f, 7/2) 30 days ago. Blinkers on first time. Others more persuasive from a wide draw. Second to Enchanted Night at Yarmouth (5f) in July; not progressed since; now blinkered.
3	1 3rd (1) (1.5/1 +63%) Mostallim	1.5 1.5/1(+63%)	(1) Mostallim 1.5/1, C&D winner in July. Went without usual headgear when below-form sixth of 10 in C&D handicap 21 days ago. Capable of bouncing back in refitted blinkers. Big chance on easy C&D win in July; needs to bounce back from last time but it's possible.
4	12 4th (12) (8/1 +27%) Haulfronhobbs	8 8/1(+27%)	(12) Haulfronhobbs 8/1, Modest form. Creditable sixth of 10 on 6f Kempton handicap debut 15 days ago, never nearer. Needs a bit more from her mark. 0-8 but she's shown promise at a low level and Harry Davies is a positive booking.
5th	9 5th (9) (11/1 +67%) Big Time Maybe	11 11/1(+67%)	(9) Big Time Maybe 11/1, Latest win at Brighton in May. Below form seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW, 9/1) 15 days ago but had been performing with credit prior to that. Enters calculations. 2 wins this season, latterly off this mark at Brighton in May; has the ability to feature.
6th	13 6th (13) (11/1 +56%) Centerstage	11 11/1(+56%)	(13) Centerstage 11/1, Poor form. Below form seventh of 12 in classified event at Wolverhampton (7f) 31 days ago. 11-race maiden; promise at up to 1m2f this summer; drop to 6f asks a different question.
7th	11 7th (11) (11/1 +78%) Enchanted Night	11 11/1(+78%)	(11) Enchanted Night 11/1, Unreliable sort. One win from 37 Flat runs. Winner at Yarmouth in July. Respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (6f, 50/1) 17 days ago. Reliable at a low level but she's got a poor strike-rate and is drawn widest.
8th	8 8th (8) (40/1 -21%) Poseidon Prince	40 40/1(-21%)	(8) Poseidon Prince 40/1, Runner-up at 2 but yet to threaten for new yard in 2022. 28/1, fifth of 8 in maiden at Lingfield (5f, AW) 15 days ago. Struggled for new yard this season but his handicap mark is in freefall.
9th	10 9th (10) (4/1 +60%) Starjik	4 4/1(+60%)	(10) Starjik 4/1, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Creditable second of 10 in C&D handicap (22/1) 21 days ago. Claims if in similar form. Placed in 2 of his 3 runs for this yard, over C&D latest; same mark today and holds claims.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

MOSTALLIM has won over this course and distance before and it would be no surprise to see him go well in a race of this nature. There may be more to come from Rhythmic Acclaim, who was sent off favourite here last time but she was slowly away on that occasion and could bounce back. However, Brilliant Blue has been running well enough in defeat of late and may prove to be the biggest danger.

MOSTALLIM wasn't at his best when racing without his usual headgear here last time but blinkers are back on now and he's selected to land a second C&D win of the year. Northern raider Starjik has a first, second and third to show from his 3 visits here so he's a must for the shortlist. Big Time Maybe could also have a say if a lesser run last time is forgiven.

There are surely races to be won with RHYHTMIC ACCLAIM off this mark and she's given another chance at this modest level.

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 +10%) Scoops Ahoy	4.5 4.5/1(+10%)	(1) Scoops Ahoy 4.5/1, Off the mark in workmanlike style at Hamilton (5f) in June. Exploits have been rather mixed since, fourth of 6 in nursery at Carlisle (5f) 13 days ago but entitled to be thereabouts on the pick of his form. Scored at Hamilton (5f) in June but he's been rather in and out since; not ruled out.
2	2 2nd (2) (0.8/1 +4%) Looby	0.8 0.8/1(+4%)	(2) Looby 0.8/1, Not without promise in novice/maidens and well backed, she duly took a marked step forward to make winning nursery debut at Brighton (5.2f) 10 days ago, notably travelling well and in command last ½f. The one to beat under a penalty. Emphatic winner at Brighton ten days ago; leading claims under 6lb penalty.
3	5 3rd (5) (12/1 -85%) Super Schwartz	12 12/1(-85%)	(5) Super Schwartz 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Sixth of 8 in maiden at Ffos Las (6f, heavy, 125/1) 13 days ago, collared 2f out and weakening having gone off too hard. Good deal of improvement required if he's to figure on nursery debut. Yet to offer much in his three outings to date; lots more is required now in handicaps.
4	4 4th (4) (9/1 -38%) Nouveaux	9 9/1(-38%)	(4) Nouveaux 9/1, Tasleet filly. Modest form at best in trio of novice/maiden events on turf/AW in recent months and opening mark demands improvement if she's to figure. Good AW third but only eighth at Beverley since; may do better on nursery debut.
5th	3 5th (3) (4/1 +33%) Krysdanjord	4 4/1(+33%)	(3) Krysdanjord 4/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Fifth of 8 in nursery at Carlisle (6.9f, good, 13/2) 14 days ago, pulling hard and weakening final 1f. Down in trip. Makes polytrack debut. Fading fifth in 7f Carlisle nursery latest; needs to take a big step forward.

LTO Selection:

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LOOBY bolted up on her nursery debut over an extended 5f at Brighton last week and the daughter of Havana Grey looks to be well ahead of her mark under a 6lb penalty here. Scoops Ahoy is an obvious danger based on the pick of his form and he may give the selection most to do. There could be more to come from Nouveaux now that she moves into handicap company and Hollie Doyle is an eye-catching booking.

LOOBY justified good support when readily off the mark in a Brighton nursery 10 days ago and wisely turned out under a penalty, she looks the one to beat switched to the all-weather. Scoops Ahoy can give her most to think about.

17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 5f PREDICTION SIMULATION

18:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 8f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.5/1 +33%) Blown Away	1.5 1.5/1(+33%)	(3) Blown Away 1.5/1, Promising sort who was still very much in need of the experience but he took a step forward from his debut run nevertheless when third of 6 in minor event (13/2) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 20 days ago, keeping on. Step up to 1m looks sure to suit and big shout with more to come. Two promising runs in 7f events at Newmarket; 1m should suit; sets standard & more to come.
2	10 2nd (10) (1.1/1 +45%) Stormy Waves	1.1 1.1/1(+45%)	(10) Stormy Waves 1.1/1, 525,000 gns Dubawi colt. Offered plenty to work on both starts to date, again travelling with plenty of purpose when third of 12 in novice company at Doncaster (7f, soft) in July. Gelded subsequently and in excellent hands, so highly likely there's more to come. Player. Third in two 7f events at Doncaster this summer; gelded since latest; can do better.
3	9 3rd (9) (28/1 -40%) Odin Legacy	28 28/1(-40%)	(9) Odin Legacy 28/1, Once-raced maiden. 16/1, seventh of 8 in minor event at Haydock (8f, good to firm) on debut 7 days ago, looking green and never involved. Does make appeal on paper though, and this ought to reveal more. Last week's Haydock debut should have taught him something but needs progress to feature.
4	6 4th (6) (33/1 -83%) Fihrayn	33 33/1(-83%)	(6) Fihrayn 33/1, Foaled April 29. €50,000 yearling, resold 55,000 gns yearling, Waldgeist colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 7f Burnt Sugar and useful 2-y-o 5f/6f winner Brown Sugar. Makes appeal on paper and interesting what the market makes of him. 55,000gns half-brother to seven winners; sire a stamina influence but dam's side speedy.
5th	4 5th (4) (18/1 -125%) Chelsea Harbour	18 18/1(-125%)	(4) Chelsea Harbour 18/1, Foaled April 14. 90,000 gns yearling, American Pharoah colt. Dam, lightly raced in US, half-sister to useful winner up to 7f Nuno Tristan out of useful 2-y-o 6f winner Saintly Speech. Betting should unearth some clues ahead of debut. 90,000gns yearling; dam a maiden in the US; market to guide on debut.
6th	2 6th (2) (7/1 +56%) Baraq	7 7/1(+56%)	(2) Baraq 7/1, Foaled March 29. 300,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to several winners, including smart winner up to 1m and Nyaleti and useful winner up to 1m Stellar Path. Dam 2-y-o 1m winner. Bred to be smart and he's a newcomer of some interest.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 -87%) Dubai Venture	14 14/1(-87%)	(5) Dubai Venture 14/1, Masar gelding. Dam, winner up to 7f (2-y-o 5f/6f winner). Has plenty of size about him but was ultimately held back by inexperience when seventh of 8 in novice event at Leicester (7f) 32 days ago, very slowly away and soon off bridle. This promises to reveal more. Too green to do himself justice on last month's Leicester debut; bred to do better.
8th	11 8th (11) (150/1 -50%) War Zone	150 150/1(-50%)	(11) War Zone 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 200/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Kempton (7f) on debut 22 days ago, slowly into stride and soon detached. Can only be watched. 200-1 and little short-term promise on last month's Kempton debut (7f).

LTO Selection:

18:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

On both starts to date, BLOWN AWAY has shaped as if this step up to a mile would bring about some improvement and he can get off the mark at the third attempt. The unexposed Stormy Waves is likely to be in the mix once again and he may improve for a recent gelding operation. Baraq, a son of Frankel, is a fascinating newcomer and requires a market check, while similar comments apply to Chelsea Harbour.

There was definite promise to glean from both of STORMY WAVES exploits in novice company on turf earlier this term and, having been gelded subsequently, it would come as no surprise to see him make a bold bid from a handy draw upped to 1m for the first time. That said, Blown Away has displayed plenty of promise himself and he's a major danger for the John & Thady Gosden yard. Al Mootamarid and Let's Dream are others expected to be thereabouts.

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (5.5/1 -38%) My Opinion	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(1) My Opinion 5.5/1, 9/2, respectable fifth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 12 days ago, never nearer. This step up in trip looks a good move and he's of strong interest on the back of that eye-catching effort. Excellent 7f fifth latest; merits serious consideration off the same mark up to 1m now.
2	9 2nd (9) (8.5/1 -21%) Intoxicata	8.5 8.5/1(-21%)	(9) Intoxicata 8.5/1, Winner at Lingfield in June. 17/2, below form sixth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm) 29 days ago. Hopes pinned on the addition of a visor sparking some improvement. Got off the mark at Lingfield (7f) in June but she's been below par since; visor on now.
3	3 3rd (3) (5.5/1 -38%) Doves Of Peace	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(3) Doves Of Peace 5.5/1, 5/1, creditable third of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago, slowly away. Return to this trip looks a good move and he's one of the more appealing candidates. Solid third in 7f Lingfield handicap eight days ago; one to consider back at 1m.
4	2 4th (2) (4.5/1 +68%) Starry Eyes	4.5 4.5/1(+68%)	(2) Starry Eyes 4.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Chepstow in July. Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at Windsor (8.1f, good) 31 days ago. Place possibilities. Not disgraced when fifth of 12 in 1m Windsor handicap 31 days ago; shortlisted.
5th	4 5th (4) (4.5/1 +0%) Elusive Tiger	4.5 4.5/1(+0%)	(4) Elusive Tiger 4.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, very good fourth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. That represented a step forward compared to his efforts in maiden company and he's one to consider. Gelded/off six months before good Wolver fourth 13 days ago; firmly in the picture.
6th	6 6th (6) (14/1 +30%) Laurentia	14 14/1(+30%)	(6) Laurentia 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 10 in handicap (33/1) at Brighton (8f, good) 10 days ago. Back down to the mark off which she landed this race last year, so dangerous to discount. Dual winner of this event; only 8th at Brighton latest but could bounce back returned here.
7th	7 7th (7) (33/1 +59%) Fast Flo	33 33/1(+59%)	(7) Fast Flo 33/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Eleventh of 12 in handicap (80/1) at Kempton (8f) 8 days ago. Likely to come up short once more. Yet to register a victory and she beat only one in 1m Kempton handicap eight days ago.
8th	10 8th (10) (40/1 -43%) Opportunity Knocks	40 40/1(-43%)	(10) Opportunity Knocks 40/1, Tenth of 12 in minor event at this course (10f, 14/1) 14 days ago. Visor on 1st time and, unless the headgear has a positive effect, he'll probably find a few too good once again. Poor maiden handicapper who arrives out of sorts; visor goes on but he's hard to warm to.
9th	8 9th (8) (11/1 +61%) Miss Connaisseur	11 11/1(+61%)	(8) Miss Connaisseur 11/1, Remains a maiden after 25 Flat runs. 33/1, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive from a win perspective. Longstanding maiden but good fourth in Wolverhampton handicap 12 days ago; not ruled out.
10th	5 10th (5) (5/1 -100%) Fully Deployed	5 5/1(-100%)	(5) Fully Deployed 5/1, 10/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable fourth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f) 14 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Connections now roll the dice with blinkers and he needs to raise his game a touch. Still to get his head in front but not discredited when fourth here latest; in the mix.

LTO Selection:

18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

DOVES OF PEACE was a good third over 7f at Lingfield last time and he did not get a clear passage on that occasion. The three-year-old could take plenty of beating here with better luck and this extra yardage is unlikely to be an issue. Starry Eyes appears primed to offer the sternest resistance to the selection based on her win at Chepstow two starts ago, while Elusive Tiger and My Opinion head the remainder.

It's still relatively early days where MY OPINION is concerned and he is appealing now upped to a mile on the back of a promising effort at Wolverhampton. Doves of Peace and Elusive Tiger are other low-mileage types with decent claims, while last year's winner Laurentia needs considering, for all that she's yet to fire since joining the Laura Mongan yard.

Low-mileage 4yo MY OPINION shaped well when a running-on fifth at Wolverhampton last time and can gain a deserved breakthrough success

1	1 1st (1) (4.5/1 -50%) Bo Taifan	4.5 4.5/1(-50%)	(1) Bo Taifan 4.5/1, Course winner. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Bit below form sixth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 13/2) 28 days ago. Wasn't seen to best effect on that occasion and it wouldn't be much of a surprise to see him bounce back with a bold show. Two AW wins this summer; return to 1m in a well-run race can suit; key player.
2	3 2nd (3) (6.5/1 +19%) El Royale	6.5 6.5/1(+19%)	(3) El Royale 6.5/1, Creditable fifth of 12 in minor event at this course (10f, 3/1) 14 days ago, making effort earlier than ideal. Blinkers on 1st time and possibilities if responding well to the headgear. Big chance on his Ffos Las 2nd in July (1m, soft) but he hasn't built on it; new headgear.
3	6 3rd (6) (8/1 +27%) Darker	8 8/1(+27%)	(6) Darker 8/1, Tenth of 14 in handicap (14/1) at Newcastle (10.2f) 30 days ago. Back down in trip for this polytrack debut and others make more appeal on balance. Regressive 12-race maiden; needs to raise his game to win.
4	8 4th (8) (20/1 -100%) Clandestinely	20 20/1(-100%)	(8) Clandestinely 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 14 in minor event at Bath (8f, good, 20/1) 50 days ago, nearest finish. Improvement needed now pitched into a handicap. Modest form in her four starts but did offer hope of better at Bath seven weeks ago.
5th	5 5th (5) (3.33/1 +26%) Golden Moon	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(5) Golden Moon 3.33/1, 12/1, bit below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 22 days ago. Will need to better that if he's to make a serious impact here but, with just 6 starts under his belt, his best days may well be ahead of him. Modest form in six runs but yard going much better now and he's down in the weights.
6th	7 6th (7) (18/1 +36%) He Can Dance	18 18/1(+36%)	(7) He Can Dance 18/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 12/1, bit below form eighth of 13 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 8 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Not at best in two runs back from a 13-month break; new headgear now given a go.
7th	2 7th (2) (2.75/1 +17%) Shabs	2.75 2.75/1(+17%)	(2) Shabs 2.75/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Didn't need to improve to win 10-runner minor event (4/1) at this C&D 21 days ago, keeping on gamely. More needed returned to handicap company but he showed a good attitude that day and is certainly not ruled out. 25th time lucky when winning over C&D 3 weeks ago; should remain competitive at this level.
8th	9 8th (9) (10/1 -82%) James Bradley	10 10/1(-82%)	(9) James Bradley 10/1, C&D winner. Good fifth of 12 in handicap (15/2) at this course (10f) 14 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he's not without each-way hope. C&D winner in January; not at the same level this summer; tongue-tie needs to help.
9th	4 9th (4) (20/1 +20%) Ju Ju Gabor	20 20/1(+20%)	(4) Ju Ju Gabor 20/1, Respectable ninth of 15 in handicap (33/1) at Killarney (8.1f, good to soft). Off 121 days. First run for yard after leaving Richard Anthony Foley and she's probably worth taking on. Ex-Irish maiden; not easily recommended on stable debut but this is a drop in grade.

LTO Selection:

19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Bo Taifan shaped as if this step back up in trip would suit when sixth over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and he is likely to be thereabouts, but preference is for SHABS. Joseph Parr's charge showed a willing attitude when scoring in classified company over course and distance last time and he can follow up that win here. El Royale edges out Clandestinely to be best of the rest.

The vote goes to BO TAIFAN, who wasn't seen to best effect back from a break at Wolverhampton but was in good form prior to that, landing a 7f handicap here and a 1m minor event at Lingfield earlier in the summer. On the latter occasion he cosily beat the re-opposing Shabs and a 3 lb swing is unlikely to be enough for that rival to turn the tables. Still, Shabs, who finally got his head in front over C&D 3 weeks ago, is clear second choice ahead of El Royale and Golden Moon.

1	5 1st (5) (8.5/1 +39%) Wiltshire	8.5 8.5/1(+39%)	(5) Wiltshire 8.5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 11 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 10/1) when last seen in June. Makes polytrack debut (winner of sole previous AW start on tapeta) and he's not written off just yet. Unexposed but off since stopping quickly at Windsor in June; others look safer.
2	3 2nd (3) (2.25/1 +44%) Justcallmepete	2.25 2.25/1(+44%)	(3) Justcallmepete 2.25/1, Three wins from 12 runs this year. 11/2, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. 5 lb rise tolerable and he's likely to be in the thick of things. Progressive sprinter; turned in a career best when winning readily over C&D latest; chance.
3	6 3rd (6) (3.5/1 +30%) Batal Dubai	3.5 3.5/1(+30%)	(6) Batal Dubai 3.5/1, Latest win at Newcastle in July. 11/2, below form seventh of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f) 14 days ago, unsuited by drop in trip. Makes polytrack debut and one to consider back at 6f. Looked good at Newcastle in July (6f); 5f too sharp latest; still has potential at 6f.
4	2 4th (2) (9/1 -13%) Princess Shabnam	9 9/1(-13%)	(2) Princess Shabnam 9/1, C&D winner. 18/1, 10½ lengths seventh of 11 to Believing in listed race at Pontefract (6f, good) 25 days ago, racing closer to pace than ideal. Tongue strap on 1st time. Ran well at Chester in July but heavy defeats in Listed races since; C&D winner; chance.
5th	1 5th (1) (3.33/1 +26%) Open Mind	3.33 3.33/1(+26%)	(1) Open Mind 3.33/1, C&D winner. 9/1, creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good) 26 days ago. Drop back to 6f will be in his favour and he has to enter calculations. Yet to run badly at this track, winning twice over C&D; solid on turf latest; contender.
6th	7 6th (7) (7/1 +18%) Clipsham La Habana	7 7/1(+18%)	(7) Clipsham La Habana 7/1, 7/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Sandown (5f, good) 12 days ago. 2-5 on the AW and he's worth considering. Not at his best over 5f at Sandown latest; yet to run a bad race on AW; one to consider.
7th	4 7th (4) (16/1 -78%) River Pride	16 16/1(-78%)	(4) River Pride 16/1, Course winner. 9¼ lengths thirteenth of 16 to Happy Romance in listed race at Bath (5f, good to soft, 33/1), unsuited by drop in trip. Off 146 days and will probably find one or two too good. Only 2lb higher than for a 7f AW win in March; would make more appeal over a bit further.

LTO Selection:

19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

JUSTCALLMEPETE was a good winner over course and distance last time and this looks like a good opportunity to follow up that success. James Evans' gelding enjoyed the return to the all weather that day and a 5lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to halt his progression. Open Mind is on a workable mark based on the pick of his form and the four-year-old should not be underestimated, while Batal Dubai can also hit the frame.

BATAL DUBAI tasted defeat for the first time on the all-weather at Newcastle a fortnight ago but that was a stronger race than this and, moreover, the drop to 5f counted against him. He still looks fairly treated and is taken to resume winning ways now returned to his optimum trip. Justcallmepete did the job well over C&D last time and is feared most ahead of Open Mind and Clipsham La Habana.

1	6 1st (6) (5/1 +44%) Monaadhil	5 5/1(+44%)	(6) Monaadhil 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Respectable fifth of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Musselburgh (7.2f, good to firm) 15 days ago, never nearer. Each-way claims. Not quite on a winning Polytrack mark now, but usually in the first three over this C&D.
2	2 2nd (2) (20/1 +39%) Nubough	20 20/1(+39%)	(2) Nubough 20/1, Course winner. Two wins from 47 Flat runs. Seventeen runs since last win in 2021. 40/1, third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Others look better treated. Better than a 2-47 strike-rate; has a 7f Polytrack race in him, but others more reliable.
3	1 3rd (1) (8/1 +0%) Onemorenomore	8 8/1(+0%)	(1) Onemorenomore 8/1, Blinkered for 1st time, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, good, 13/2) 18 days ago. Not out of things. Still fairly untried at 7f but does need to finish stronger; first time down in a 0-60..
4	14 4th (14) (50/1 +38%) Nemorum	50 50/1(+38%)	(14) Nemorum 50/1, Remains a maiden after 18 Flat runs. 80/1, respectable eighth of 13 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Blinkers back on. Makes limited appeal. Outpaced over a galloping turf 1m2f latest, which doesn't augur well for drop back in trip.
5th	8 5th (8) (5.5/1 -38%) Fayasel	5.5 5.5/1(-38%)	(8) Fayasel 5.5/1, 9/1, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Consistent until latest three outings, but back to within 2lb of winning mark as a result.
6th	5 6th (5) (3.6/1 +10%) Sprezzatura	3.6 3.6/1(+10%)	(5) Sprezzatura 3.6/1, Still looking for first success but pulled clear of remainder when third of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 8 days ago and can race off same mark here. Visor on first time. Big player. Ahead of Coral Reef at Ffos Las last month; fine third on Polytrack since; among likeliest.
7th	4 7th (4) (18/1 -200%) Gustav Ucicky	18 18/1(-200%)	(4) Gustav Ucicky 18/1, Bath winner (5.7f) in June who posted good second of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f) on debut for new yard 15 days ago. 2 lb rise fair and is one for shortlist. Neck second on return to Polytrack latest (6f); not always seen out this longer trip.
8th	9 8th (9) (4.5/1 +25%) Last Date	4.5 4.5/1(+25%)	(9) Last Date 4.5/1, C&D winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. Bit below form fifth of 10 in handicap (12/1) at this course (6f) 21 days ago. Not taken lightly. Back to lowest ever winning mark; may have a better idea of his present level after this.
9th	13 9th (13) (16/1 +52%) Cloud Queen	16 16/1(+52%)	(13) Cloud Queen 16/1, Hooded for 1st time, seventh of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Others more appealing. Not quite at best latest; return to apparent best trip/surface combination rates a plus.
10th	3 10th (3) (7.5/1 -7%) Dulcet Spirit	7.5 7.5/1(-7%)	(3) Dulcet Spirit 7.5/1, Back to winning ways at Chepstow (7.1f) in July and acquitted herself well in defeat since, latest when second of 5 in handicap at Brighton (7f, good) 10 days ago, clear of rest. Respected. Can refuse to settle and faces rivalry for the lead, but on a winning mark and best at 7f.
11th	10 11th (10) (11/1 -57%) Coral Reef	11 11/1(-57%)	(10) Coral Reef 11/1, Below par latest but had posted creditable second in Chepstow handicap (7.1f, good to soft, 9/4) previously and must enter calculations. First Polytrack outing since career-best run at Kempton in the winter (7f) off 6lb higher.
12th	7 12th (7) (125/1 -25%) Grainne O Maille	125 125/1(-25%)	(7) Grainne O Maille 125/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, tenth of 12 in handicap (66/1) at Lingfield (6f, AW) 15 days ago. Improvement required. Raced wide and didn't settle in debuted hood (discarded) on recent handicap debut.

LTO Selection:

20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

It might pay to side with GUSTAV UCICKY, who was narrowly denied on his debut for the Gay Kelleway team recently. He's 2lb higher now, but the three-year-old still looks well handicapped at this level. Dulcet Spirit continues to run well and is likely to be in the thick of things once more, while multiple C&D winner Monaadhil is only 1lb higher than his last winning mark and cannot be ruled out.

SPREZZATURA was beaten only by a couple of well-treated sorts at Lingfield last week and can get off the mark at the third attempt for his new yard. Dulcet Spirit and Gustav Ucicky head the list of dangers.

Granted 7f on Polytrack for the first time since January's Kempton second, CORAL REEF can reverse Ffos Las form with Sprezzatura.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	3 1st (3) (1.88/1 +53%) Sun Festival	1.88 1.88/1(+53%)	(3) Sun Festival 1.88/1, Latest win at Brighton in July. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (9.9f, good to firm) 12 days ago. Now 2 lb lower and he has to be taken seriously. Shaping as if still in form since second of two 2023 Brighton 1m2f wins; respected.
2	11 2nd (11) (7.5/1 +25%) Sunset In Paris	7.5 7.5/1(+25%)	(11) Sunset In Paris 7.5/1, 14/1, good fourth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (9.9f, good) 29 days ago. Repeat of that effort would give him an each-way chance. Two recent fourths offer hope, but further out of the weights now than for either of those.
3	4 3rd (4) (5/1 +29%) Hot Team	5 5/1(+29%)	(4) Hot Team 5/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/1) at Leicester (10f, good to soft) 2 days ago, nearest finish. Can make his presence felt if turned out again quickly. Trip perfect but have to go back to March 2021 for most recent of just two Polytrack runs.
4	1 4th (1) (16/1 +0%) Velvet Vulcan	16 16/1(+0%)	(1) Velvet Vulcan 16/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 22/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at this course (8f) 30 days ago. Up in trip and hood on 1st time. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Refused to settle when 8l seventh here on recent return (1m); maybe best watched for now.
5th	2 5th (2) (8/1 -100%) Lawmans Blis	8 8/1(-100%)	(2) Lawmans Blis 8/1, 7/2, won 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 13 days ago, always holding on. Needs to pull out more up 2 lb here. Had run of things for recent Tapeta win (1m4f); tonight's trip at lower end of his range.
6th	10 6th (10) (22/1 +33%) Vertical	22 22/1(+33%)	(10) Vertical 22/1, 22/1, ninth of 10 in minor event at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 36 days ago. Hopes pinned on the new headgear (first-time cheekpieces) sparking improvement. First three efforts last autumn still her best form; work for the cheekpieces to do.
7th	7 7th (7) (5/1 +0%) She's A Mirage	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) She's A Mirage 5/1, Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 17/2) 31 days ago, suited by way race developed. That wasn't much of a race and she looks vulnerable off this 5 lb higher mark. 1m2f turf (firm) and Tapeta winner this summer; effectiveness on Polytrack in the past.
8th	12 8th (12) (80/1 -21%) Lilla Cross	80 80/1(-21%)	(12) Lilla Cross 80/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 11 in handicap at Doncaster (8f, good to firm, 200/1). Off 117 days and back up in trip. Best to look elsewhere. No show since okay debut, including at up to 1m2f; much more needed on first run since May.
9th	5 9th (5) (12/1 -33%) Wallaroo	12 12/1(-33%)	(5) Wallaroo 12/1, Winner at Wolverhampton in July. Fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (8f, 10/1) 30 days ago. Back up in trip and others are more persuasive from a win perspective. Mixed record of staying 1m-plus, but held on to score at Wolverhampton (8.6f) two runs ago.
10th	8 10th (8) (18/1 -80%) Scramble	18 18/1(-80%)	(8) Scramble 18/1, Creditable fourth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 25/1) 22 days ago, slowly away. Tongue strap on 1st time. Couldn't be sure that this step up in trip is what she wants. Revived to a point with Kempton 1m fourth latest; respected with tongue-tie now added.
11th	6 11th (6) (33/1 -32%) Streetstorm	33 33/1(-32%)	(6) Streetstorm 33/1, Visored for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 12/1) 30 days ago. Back up in trip on debut for new yard and sports first-time cheekpieces. Nose away from a Lingfield win in June (1m); lesser form since and has left Ed Dunlop.
12th	9 12th (9) (28/1 +15%) College Wizard	28 28/1(+15%)	(9) College Wizard 28/1, Seventh of 12 in minor event (18/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Plenty to find on form. Better than the bare form more than once last month, including in a C&D classified event.

LTO Selection:

20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SHE'S A MIRAGE defeated a subsequent winner when successful over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton last month and the daughter of Kodiac is fancied to follow up from 5lb higher. Lawmans Blis was victorious at the same venue last time and could prove to be the main danger to the selection. Sun Festival edges out Sunset In Paris and Wallaroo to be the pick of the remainder.

The one who appeals most is SUN FESTIVAL, who has come up short both starts subsequent to his Brighton romp in July but he remains feasibly treated and this race won't take a great deal of winning. Hot Team performed with credit at Leicester on Tuesday and has already shown this year that he can handle races in quick succession. He's feared most, while Sunset In Paris is worth considering from an each-way point of view.

An interesting alternative to She's A Mirage could be COLLEGE WIZARD, better than the bare form in a C&D classified latest.

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.
