(5) Startling 11/1, Winning nursery debut at Wolverhampton in September. 9/2, seventh of 10 in nursery back there 10 days ago, though she was held up in a steadily-run race. Hood left off. Won on nursery debut at Wolverhampton but was never involved back there last time.

2nd (1) (7/1 -180%) Virtue Temperance
7
7/1(-180%)
(1) Virtue Temperance 7/1, Career best when winning 6-runner nursery at Brighton (5.3f, good to soft, 17/2) 38 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and there may still be more to come from her after 4 starts. Won on nursery debut at Brighton; up 5lb but she's respected on this switch to AW.

3rd (2) (6/1 -20%) Jeany May
6
6/1(-20%)
(2) Jeany May 6/1, 18/1, creditable third of 14 in nursery at Southwell (5f) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Makes polytrack debut and she can get involved again. 0-6 but she's been placed in both nurseries and is in the mix on the switch to Polytrack.

4th (7) (16/5 +84%) Master Zack
3.2
16/5(+84%)
(7) Master Zack 16/5, 150/1 and hooded for first time, seventh of 10 in maiden at Sandown (5f, soft) 27 days ago. Nurseries more suitable. Still unexposed but he needs a transformation on AW/nursery debut.
5th
3
5th (3) (85/40 +15%) Dubai Magic
2.125
85/40(+15%)
(3) Dubai Magic 85/40, Left previous form behind when very good second of 10 in nursery at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, just failing. The one to beat from the same mark. Went very close on nursery debut at Wolverhampton and 2lb well in here; big player.
6th
8
6th (8) (14/1 +30%) Dottie Diamond
14
14/1(+30%)
(8) Dottie Diamond 14/1, Ninth of 10 in novice at Newmarket (6f, soft, 125/1) 47 days ago. Makes handicap debut and she needs to settle down. Didn't show much in first three runs and needs lots of improvement on nursery debut.
7th
6
7th (6) (5/1 -25%) Love Rock
5
5/1(-25%)
(6) Love Rock 5/1, Very good third of 10 in nursery (15/2) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 10 days ago, seeing her race out better than previously. Hood on first time, which may help so she commands respect. Close third on nursery debut at Wolverhampton, just behind Dubai Magic; shortlisted.
16:38 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This can go the way of DUBAI MAGIC, who is expected to build on a career-best effort when denied by the narrowest of margins over this distance at Wolverhampton last month. Half a length behind her on that occasion was Love Rock (third), who is likely to make this a test from the front. Virtue Temperance, a comfortable winner at Brighton on her latest start, is another to bear in mind.
DUBAI MAGIC came within a nose of making a successful nursery debut at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and from the inside stall, she looks the answer from the same mark. Love Rock was just behind the selection that day and she should be involved again, with Virtue Temperance also one to view positively.
Top of the list is DUBAI MAGIC, who was beaten a nose on her nursery debut at Wolverhampton and is 2lb well in here.
(7) Rajaking 9/2, Foaled March 15. Rajasinghe gelding. Dam multiple 6f-7f winner. Has speed and stamina in pedigree and market should guide on debut.
2
8
2nd (8) (5/4 +0%) Heaven Knows
1.25
5/4(+0%)
(8) Heaven Knows 5/4, 4/1, excellent second of 9 in novice at this C&D 40 days ago, just failing. Could take the beating on that showing. Went very close over C&D last time and sets the standard on that form; big player.
3
13
3rd (13) (20/1 -344%) One For Harvey
20
20/1(-344%)
(13) One For Harvey 20/1, Twice-raced filly. 4/1, third of 4 in maiden at Brighton (5.3f, good) 39 days ago. Gave a good showing at Kempton on debut and could do better back on AW now. Promising third at Kempton (6f, AW) but was only third of four at Brighton last time.
4
9
4th (9) (4/1 -60%) Leblon Girl
4
4/1(-60%)
(9) Leblon Girl 4/1, Twice-raced filly. 17/2 and hooded for 1st time, second of 9 in maiden at Ripon (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago, again green. Probably has more to come. Only narrowly denied at Ripon latest and is open to more progress on AW debut; respected.
5th
10
5th (10) (16/1 +0%) Evanka
16
16/1(+0%)
(10) Evanka 16/1, Twice-raced filly. 40/1, third of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (6f, AW) 30 days ago. Poor form in both her runs and is probably a longer-term prospect.
6th
2
6th (2) (28/1 -12%) Herkeios
28
28/1(-12%)
(2) Herkeios 28/1, Zoustar gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 6f winner, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Beauty Crescent out of smart winner up to 1m (2-y-o 7f winner) Up In Time. Sixth of 7 in novice at Newcastle (5f, 16/1) on debut 37 days ago. Didn't show a lot on his Newcastle debut (5f) last month; opposable.
7th
6
7th (6) (80/1 -21%) Popov
80
80/1(-21%)
(6) Popov 80/1, Again showed little when eighth of 10 in novice at Ascot (6f, good to soft, 150/1) 34 days ago. In rear at 150-1 in both his runs and has stacks to find on this switch to AW.
8th
14
8th (14) (150/1 -200%) Rovinia
150
150/1(-200%)
(14) Rovinia 150/1, Foaled March 28. Legends of War filly. Dam, third at 1m, half-sister to useful 2-y-o 6f winner Vital Statistics out of useful winner up to 5f (including at 2 yrs) Emerald Peace. Yard 0-9 with 2yos in recent years but this well-bred newcomer needs checking in market.
9th
11
9th (11) (66/1 -100%) Lady Of The Champ
66
66/1(-100%)
(11) Lady Of The Champ 66/1, 33/1, last of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (6.1f, good) on debut 51 days ago. 33-1 for her Nottingham debut (6f) in August and finished a remote last of six; opposable.
10th
3
10th (3) (12/1 0%) Knight's Dance
12
12/1(0%)
(3) Knight's Dance 12/1, Foaled February 15. 32,000 gns yearling, Sergei Prokofiev gelding. Half-brother to winner up to 6f Stormy Pearl. Dam 6f winner. Has had a wind operation. Has already had wind/gelding operations and is probably best watched on debut.
11th
5
11th (5) (33/1 +34%) Duffus Castle
33
33/1(+34%)
(5) Duffus Castle 33/1, Twice-raced gelding. Ninth of 10 in maiden (66/1) at Yarmouth (7f, firm) 22 days ago. This drop in trip could suit but he was beaten 12l last time and others are preferred.
12th
4
12th (4) (200/1 -300%) My Boy Harry
200
200/1(-300%)
(4) My Boy Harry 200/1, Eleventh of 13 in novice at this course (7f, 100/1) on debut 12 days ago. Struggled at a big price here on recent debut and needs a transformation dropped in trip.
13th
1
13th (1) (15/2 +46%) Echo Of Glory
7.5
15/2(+46%)
(1) Echo Of Glory 15/2, Foaled March 30. €23,000 foal, €22,000 yearling, Invincible Army colt. Closely related to useful 5f-7f winner Hodd's Girl. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1¼m/10.3f winner Dragon Fei (stayed 1½m). Hood on for debut. Interesting to see market support. 22,000euros yearling; hood applied on debut and best watched unless market is persuasive.
14th
12
14th (12) (150/1 -200%) Miss Sovereign
150
150/1(-200%)
(12) Miss Sovereign 150/1, Foaled April 15. €1,000 yearling, 4,000 gns 2-y-o, Ten Sovereigns filly. Half-sister to 13f-1¾m winner Londonofficecallin. Dam, maiden (stayed 6f), half-sister to useful 10.4f-1¾m winner Jaameh. Has fair standard to aim at on debut and she's probably a longer-term prospect.
17:13 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LEBLON GIRL improved from her first to second start when not beaten far into second at Ripon last time out and, with further progress expected, the daughter of Kodiac can strike from a plum draw. Only worn down late in the piece when runner-up over C&D in August, Heaven Knows is likely to be thereabouts again, as well as One For Harvey, who could be suited by going back up to 6f.
Probably not a strong maiden and HEAVEN KNOWS has a good shout having gone close here 6 weeks ago. Leblon Girl and One For Harvey are dangers before any market clues for the newcomers.
This should revolve around the two leading form contenders in Leblon Girl and HEAVEN KNOWS, with preference for the latter.
17:13 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 6f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(1) Gifted Angel 11/8, First run since leaving Tom Dascombe and career best when winning 7-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 10 days ago, despite being very slowly away. Carries penalty. Shortlist material given AW record with promise of more to come. Powered clear over 1m4f at Wolverhampton on recent stable debut; 3lb well in under penalty.
2
2
2nd (2) (10/3 -67%) Wannabe Brave
3.333333
10/3(-67%)
(2) Wannabe Brave 10/3, Course winner. 4 wins from 7 runs this year. Won 10-runner handicap (7/2) at Lingfield (15.8f, AW) 26 days ago. Already has a productive season and 2 lb rise won't prevent another bold bid. Four AW wins from last seven starts, including at Lingfield latest; respected back in trip.
3
3
3rd (3) (8/1 +33%) Delta Legend
8
8/1(+33%)
(3) Delta Legend 8/1, Latest win at Lingfield in June. 25/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Both wins at 1m on AW and he was well held when upped to 1m6f here last time.
4
4
4th (4) (2/1 +50%) Beggarman
2
2/1(+50%)
(4) Beggarman 2/1, C&D winner. Latest win here in April. 7/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Bath (14f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Is holding his form pretty well. Triple course winner who has finished runner-up on turf last twice; in the mix again.
5th
6
5th (6) (66/1 -450%) Maruna
66
66/1(-450%)
(6) Maruna 66/1, 25/1, respectable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Mark is sliding but she's now 1-10 and has stamina to prove at this new trip.
6th
5
6th (5) (125/1 -213%) Rogue Raider
125
125/1(-213%)
(5) Rogue Raider 125/1, Last of 10 in handicap (200/1) at Kempton (11f) 20 days ago. Needs to improve for step up in trip to figure. Regressive maiden who has finished tailed off in last three runs; lots to prove.
17:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
A revelation on his first start for the Jack Jones stable when scoring comfortably over shorter at Wolverhampton last time out, GIFTED ANGEL is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up. A progressive sort throughout this season, Wannabe Brave will need a strong gallop to be seen at his best over this shorter distance, while Beggarman is another consistent sort to note.
Having joined an up-and-coming yard, GIFTED ANGEL overcame a very slow start when successful at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and further success looks on the cards. Wannabe Brave boasts a good strike rate for this level so is second choice, with Beggarman likely to give it another good go.
Preference is for GIFTED ANGEL (nap), who surged clear on his stable debut at Wolverhampton and is 3lb well in under a penalty.
(4) Vilaine Verlaine 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Very good second of 9 in nursery at Yarmouth (8f, good to firm, 11/1) 21 days ago. Bred to improve for this trip so one of the likelier sorts. Finished well to go close on nursery debut at Yarmouth; looks interesting upped to 1m2f.
2
5
2nd (5) (5/2 +17%) Moonlit Stage
2.5
5/2(+17%)
(5) Moonlit Stage 5/2, Confirmed promise of his Wolverhampton run when winning 11-runner nursery at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago by neck from Bebside. Carries penalty, which may make upholding the form tricky. Pulled clear with Bebside when scoring at Newcastle (1m2f); respected under penalty.
3
8
3rd (8) (11/4 +8%) Bebside
2.75
11/4(+8%)
(8) Bebside 11/4, Big step forward when excellent neck second of 11 to Moonlit Stage in nursery at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago, staying on well. Makes polytrack debut. On a lenient mark eased 2 lb. Went close behind Moonlit Stage at Newcastle last week; big player off 2lb lower here.
4
7
4th (7) (8/1 +20%) Corpus Juris
8
8/1(+20%)
(7) Corpus Juris 8/1, Creditable 7 lengths sixth of 11 to Moonlit Stage in nursery (11/2) at Newcastle (10.2f) 7 days ago. Blinkers need to draw out more. Six-race maiden who was a well-held sixth behind Moonlit Stage last week; blinkers added.
5th
3
5th (3) (17/2 +29%) Kon'nichiwa
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(3) Kon'nichiwa 17/2, 5/1 and tongue strap on for first time, respectable fifth of 9 in nursery at Salisbury (8f, good to firm) 41 days ago, hampered. Up in trip for polytrack debut. Six-race maiden who has yet to be placed and he needs to find more at this new trip.
6th
2
6th (2) (22/1 -120%) Coverbridge
22
22/1(-120%)
(2) Coverbridge 22/1, Made second start a winning one at Newcastle in June. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for first time, creditable fifth of 12 in nursery at Thirsk (8f, good to firm) 33 days ago, not ideally placed. Up in trip. Held in three nurseries but he's a possible improver now upped to this trip.
7th
6
7th (6) (12/1 -50%) Winston's Folly
12
12/1(-50%)
(6) Winston's Folly 12/1, Fifth of 6 in novice at Epsom (7f, soft, 33/1) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Makes handicap debut for top yard but he does need to raise his game considerably from this mark. Brother to a 1m2f AW winner and he could show a lot more upped in trip on nursery debut.
8th
1
8th (1) (9/1 -29%) Kilpatrick Prince
9
9/1(-29%)
(1) Kilpatrick Prince 9/1, Fifth of 10 in maiden (18/1) at Bath (8f, good) 26 days ago. Up in trip for nursery debut and he's going the right way. Has improved with each of his three runs; needs close look upped to 1m2f on nursery debut.
9th
9
9th (9) (33/1 -136%) Aleishka
33
33/1(-136%)
(9) Aleishka 33/1, Respectable fifth of 10 in nursery (9/2) at Redcar (8f, good) 15 days ago. Up in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Has stamina on her dam's side but she needs a transformation on this step up to 1m2f.
18:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
BEBSIDE (second) couldn't get past Moonlit Stage when the pair met in this grade at Newcastle last week, but he is 8lb better off this time around. The son of Iffraaj has lots in his favour to reverse that form and might be able to record his first career success. Vilaine Verlaine showed a lot more on her nursery debut when second at Yarmouth and is another to consider.
BEBSIDE and Moonlit Stage dominated the first 10f nursery of the season at Newcastle a week ago and they are the pair to focus on again. An 8 lb pull in the weights strongly suggests the former will take his revenge this time.
Moonlit Stage beat BEBSIDE at Newcastle last week but the latter is 2lb lower here and may be able to turn the tables.
(3) Earl Of Rochester 11/10, Promising type. 15/2, third of 11 in maiden at Newmarket (8f, good to firm) on debut. Off 175 days. Up in trip. Plenty more to come and is fancied to open his account. One of three to pull away over 1m at Newmarket in the spring; clearly sets the standard.
7
7
(7) (15/8 +69%) Watts To Freedom
1.875
15/8(+69%)
(7) Watts To Freedom 15/8, 800,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Dam, 1m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Kapour out of useful 1m/9f winner Kitcat. Interesting newcomer for top yard who also have Earl of Rochester. 800,000gns yearling; interesting to see how he goes in the market versus Earl Of Rochester.
1
1
1st (1) (4/6 +81%) Buon Viaggio
0.666667
4/6(+81%)
(1) Buon Viaggio 4/6, Promising individual. Fourth of 10 in novice (8/1) at Newcastle (8f) 30 days ago. Longer trip should help and he's capable of better. Tonight's longer trip should be fine; one of a handful with realistic claims.
2
2
2nd (2) (8/1 +33%) Comet Chaser
8
8/1(+33%)
(2) Comet Chaser 8/1, Once-raced maiden. 80/1, fourth of 7 in novice at Kempton (12f) on debut 24 days ago, unable to sustain effort. May do better. Entitled to improve but the emphasis will be more on speed over this distance round here.
3
6
3rd (6) (14/1 -40%) Vinny's Dream
14
14/1(-40%)
(6) Vinny's Dream 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Third of 5 in novice (11/10) at Catterick (12.1f, firm) 52 days ago. Has more on his plate tonight and it may be in handicaps that he makes his mark.
4
4
4th (4) (5/2 +79%) Landing Board
2.5
5/2(+79%)
(4) Landing Board 5/2, 190,000 gns yearling, Night of Thunder gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f/1m winner Hello Deira. Interesting newcomer on paper. 190,000gns yearling; this trip is no certainty on pedigree and the market will guide.
5th
10
5th (10) (33/1 +34%) Thankyou Baroness
33
33/1(+34%)
(10) Thankyou Baroness 33/1, Sea The Moon filly. Dam German 2-y-o 6f winner who stayed 8.5f. Dam has produced nothing of note; yard is best known for older horses.
6th
8
6th (8) (20/1 +39%) Forest Haze
20
20/1(+39%)
(8) Forest Haze 20/1, Garswood filly. Dam, 1¼m winner who stayed 12.5f, half-sister to smart winner up to 2m Notarised. Dam won on her debut for Mark Johnston but it would be a surprise to see this filly figure.
7th
9
7th (9) (40/1 -21%) Ring That Bell
40
40/1(-21%)
(9) Ring That Bell 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. Seventh of 11 in novice at Kempton (7f, 18/1). Off 9 months. Significantly up in trip. Off for nine months and is likely to find life easier once handicapping after tonight.
8th
5
8th (5) (100/1 +0%) Pottersmattyeeehaa
100
100/1(+0%)
(5) Pottersmattyeeehaa 100/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, sixth of 10 in maiden at Southwell (11.1f) 14 days ago. Low-grade handicaps are probably next on the agenda.
18:45 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
EARL OF ROCHESTER shaped with bundles of promise when only finding two subsequent winners too good on his debut in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket in April. The son of Dubawi might not need to find much improvement in order to strike. Buon Viaggio hasn't been disgraced on both starts so far and is respected, while Vinny's Dream is another to watch out for.
EARL OF ROCHESTER shaped with a good deal of encouragement in a well-contested maiden at Newmarket earlier in the campaign and, while the absence since is something of a concern, he's still the one to beat, with Buon Viaggio regarded as the main threat. Watts to Freedom, a well-bred stablemate of the selection, is another one to note.
The Gosdens looks to hold the key, with EARL OF ROCHESTER setting a good standard for newcomer Watts To Freedom to aim at.
(6) Local Music 4/1, Course winner. 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Latest win at Lingfield in June. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (8f, 5/1). Off 95 days. Merits respect on return. Nudged up another 2lb for second here last time; needs more again after three months off.
2
5
2nd (5) (17/2 -183%) Ultramarine
8.5
17/2(-183%)
(5) Ultramarine 17/2, Course winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 9-runner handicap (9/1) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 13 days ago, comfortably. Worth a chance to go in again such was the ease of that victory under this rider. Got it together for Alexandra McDonnell on Tapeta last time; an 8lb rise will test him.
3
7
3rd (7) (9/2 -13%) All Agleam
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(7) All Agleam 9/2, Latest win at Lingfield in July. Creditable second of 13 in handicap at this C&D (17/2) 21 days ago. Almost certain to be competitive again. Enjoying a consistent season and did nothing wrong from stall 13 over C&D latest; player.
4
3
4th (3) (16/1 -33%) Revolutionise
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Revolutionise 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Brighton in September. 28/1, tenth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 15 days ago. Becoming well treated. Strike-rate in recent times has been poor; found it beyond him at Kempton a fortnight ago.
5th
4
5th (4) (11/2 +45%) G'daay
5.5
11/2(+45%)
(4) G'daay 11/2, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Lingfield in August. 12/1, respectable eighth of 14 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good) 45 days ago. Blinkers back on. Likely to be on the premises. Goes well here and has always tended to do well around this time of year; one to consider.
6th
1
6th (1) (3/1 +70%) Smoky Mountain
3
3/1(+70%)
(1) Smoky Mountain 3/1, Last of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) 42 days ago. Needs to get back on track and others look more persuasive. Back on his last winning mark and one of his wins came fresh; possibilities.
7th
8
7th (8) (25/1 -150%) Dimsons
25
25/1(-150%)
(8) Dimsons 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 11/1, bit below form second of 5 in maiden at Lingfield (7f, good to firm). Off 124 days. Makes handicap debut. Will find this tougher. Needs to settle better back from four months off and to improve off this mark.
8th
11
8th (11) (40/1 -233%) Rhythmic Acclaim
40
40/1(-233%)
(11) Rhythmic Acclaim 40/1, 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Latest win at Goodwood in June. 10/1 and blinkered for 1st time, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, firm) 22 days ago. Not discounted. Hasn't looked to fail for stamina in three 7f runs; just 2lb above her last winning mark.
9th
10
9th (10) (13/2 +46%) Rascal Recknell
6.5
13/2(+46%)
(10) Rascal Recknell 13/2, Tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 30 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. Evidently felt capable and a lot will hinge on how he settles in the first-time hood.
10th
9
10th (9) (22/1 -57%) Bengurion
22
22/1(-57%)
(9) Bengurion 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Latest win at Kempton in May. 25/1 and hooded for 1st time, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 87 days ago. 2-2 on Polytrack, first time out last year and this; a revival wouldn't shock.
19:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
All Agleam filled the runner-up spot over C&D last month and it would be no surprise to see her have a say off an unchanged mark. However, the vote goes to LOCAL MUSIC, who finished second in this grade over a mile here in July and makes plenty of appeal back over 7f. Matt Crawley's four-year-old should go well off only 2lb higher, while Smoky Mountain rates best of the rest.
Given how easy ULTRAMARINE cruised to the front, then readily asserted at Wolverhampton 13 days ago, he's worth a chance to defy a rise at the possible expense of the bang-in-form All Agleam, who may not have reached her limit yet. Local Music also deserves respect.
Not beaten far in the last two runnings of this race, three-time C&D winner G'DAAY gets the nod. All Agleam is second choice.
(1) Silver Nightfall 3/1, 9/4, shaped well when second of 7 in handicap at this course (10f) 21 days ago, finishing with running left after meeting trouble. Is on a winning mark and worth a chance to take advantage. Another in-form effort here latest; the visor has helped; looks set to go well once more.

2nd (5) (5/2 +0%) Unreal Connection
2.5
5/2(+0%)
(5) Unreal Connection 5/2, Blinkered for 1st time, creditable third of 10 in handicap (12/1) at Kempton (8f) 20 days ago. Another solid showing is expected. Usually ridden patiently and will want a proper test over tonight's easy 1m; claims.

3rd (7) (10/1 +29%) Elderflower
10
10/1(+29%)
(7) Elderflower 10/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap at Sandown (8f, good, 50/1) 22 days ago. Others make more appeal. Regressive maiden who's finished well held in her two handicaps.

4th (4) (33/1 -136%) Deep Blue
33
33/1(-136%)
(4) Deep Blue 33/1, Last of 7 in handicap (16/1) at Lingfield (8f, AW) 26 days ago. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Others more persuasive. Goes in first-time headgear after an ordinary effort back on Polytrack last time.
5th

5th (2) (2/1 +75%) Bayadere
2
2/1(+75%)
(2) Bayadere 2/1, Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (18/1) at Sandown (10f, good) 22 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not dismissed. Looking exposed now and will need a career-best effort on her Polytrack debut.
6th
3
6th (3) (15/2 -88%) Wadacre Tivoli
7.5
15/2(-88%)
(3) Wadacre Tivoli 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (9.2f, good) 18 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Likely to be on the premises. Shapes as though she'll be fine with the drop in trip on AW debut; maybe capable of better.
7th
6
7th (6) (28/1 -100%) Dream Seeker
28
28/1(-100%)
(6) Dream Seeker 28/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f, 40/1) 24 days ago. Hard to make a case for. Debut second on Tapeta amounted to little and she's struggled in the hood since.
19:45 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
SILVER NIGHTFALL has shown improved form since sporting a visor (retained) the last twice, finishing runner-up on both occasions, and this appeals as an ideal winning opportunity. She would have finished closer to the eventual winner if granted a clear run over 1m2f here last month. This drop in trip can see Wadacre Tivoli emerge as the main danger, while Dream Seeker remains unexposed in handicaps and merits consideration.
SILVER NIGHTFALL is on a good mark and has been shaping like she's ready to capitalise, notably when a strong-finishing second after meeting trouble over 10f here three weeks ago. She's preferred to Unreal Connection and Wadacre Tivoli, who should give their running.
Preference is for WADACRE TIVOLI, who should be suited by the drop in trip on her AW debut. Silver Nightfall rates the main danger.
(7) United Force 25/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 16/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Has a bit to prove on the back of that. Disappointing since his Yarmouth win in July and needs another return to form.

1
2nd (1) (15/2 +6%) Adace
7.5
15/2(+6%)
(1) Adace 15/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (8.1f, good) 24 days ago. Should be on the premises. Triple Polytrack winner who went close at Windsor two runs back; dangerous back on AW.
3
6
3rd (6) (4/1 +20%) Cobh Harbour
4
4/1(+20%)
(6) Cobh Harbour 4/1, Creditable third of 10 in handicap (10/3) at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 19 days ago, nearest finish. Makes polytrack debut. Good chance. 0-11 but he's generally reliable and has each-way claims back up in trip.
4
10
4th (10) (15/2 +38%) Starshot
7.5
15/2(+38%)
(10) Starshot 15/2, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 6/1, below form seventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 22 days ago. Not seen to best effect last time and worth treating as still in form. Inconsistent 19-race maiden who was beaten 11l at Beverley last time; others preferred.
5th
3
5th (3) (14/1 +44%) River Alwen
14
14/1(+44%)
(3) River Alwen 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f, 66/1) 24 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to fancy. Last win was in Hong Kong 13 months ago and has generally struggled this season; opposable.
6th
12
6th (12) (5/1 +69%) Struck Gold
5
5/1(+69%)
(12) Struck Gold 5/1, Unreliable type. C&D winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable seventh of 14 in handicap at Newcastle (8f, 50/1) 28 days ago. C&D winner but he's been well held in last four runs and needs to turn things around.
7th
4
7th (4) (9/1 +44%) Edmund Ironside
9
9/1(+44%)
(4) Edmund Ironside 9/1, One win from 25 Flat runs. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 16/1) 17 days ago. On a handy mark and may strip fitter for latest effort. On dangerous mark but he needs to raise his game back on Polytrack.
8th
13
8th (13) (50/1 -52%) Kodiac Brave
50
50/1(-52%)
(13) Kodiac Brave 50/1, 125/1, sixth of 12 in handicap at this C&D 21 days ago. Struggling for form and looks up against it. Ex-Hong Kong; yet to show much for current yard and he's now 0-20.
9th
9
9th (9) (25/1 -150%) Gatwick Kitten
25
25/1(-150%)
(9) Gatwick Kitten 25/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. 11/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (6f) 12 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Others are more persuasive. All wins have been at sprint trips and he's 0-11 on turf; down the list.
10th
5
10th (5) (4/1 +20%) Capallcliste
4
4/1(+20%)
(5) Capallcliste 4/1, Remains a maiden after 19 Flat runs. 9/2, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago, no match for winner. Respected. 0-19 but he's finished second on Polytrack in last three runs; respected back up in trip.
11th
8
11th (8) (7/1 +0%) Warrior Square
7
7/1(+0%)
(8) Warrior Square 7/1, 8/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (7f) 21 days ago. On a fair mark but isn't at the top of his game right now. Not easy to predict but he's now 2lb lower than for last win and is not ruled out.
12th
11
12th (11) (25/1 -56%) Tilsworth Max
25
25/1(-56%)
(11) Tilsworth Max 25/1, Creditable sixth of 12 in handicap (40/1) at this course (7f) 12 days ago. Must improve if he's to make any sort of impact. First signs of promise at Lingfield but he's not built on that in two runs since.
20:15 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Though his winless run continues, CAPALLCLISTE has been shaping as if this return to further would be right up his street having finished runner-up over 7f on each of his last three starts. Oh So Audacious has been running consistently well this season and she must enter calculations off 3lb higher than her last winning mark, while Cobh Harbour is also noteworthy.
COBH HARBOUR has slipped to an appealing mark and was back to form at Wolverhampton last time, finishing well. If he can build on that he might have enough to see off the in-form mare Oh So Audacious, who is unlikely to be far away. Starshot is also considered.
The vote goes to triple Polytrack winner ADACE who is on a workable mark back on AW and could make a big impact if she gets the breaks.
