Races & Results Saturday 28th October 2023
The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Almarada Prince 4/1, Followed up Thirsk maiden success by winning 7-runner minor event at Hamilton (5f, good to firm, 6/4) 53 days ago, responding well. Progressing well recently and is likely to give bold bid again under double penalty. Big penalty for two turf wins but useful and progressive and there could be more to come.

11
2nd (11) (16/1 +20%) Bella Bisbee
16
16/1(+20%)
(11) Bella Bisbee 16/1, Foaled April 12. 30,000 gns yearling, Muhaarar filly. Half-sister to several winners, including winner up to 7f Sterling Knight and winner up to 6f Charmed, both useful. Dam 1m winner who stayed 1¼m. Yard not overly renowned for winning debutants but worth a market check nonetheless. 30,000gns half-sister to six winners; bred to have a future but useful standard to aim at.

6
3rd (6) (2/1 +43%) Invincible Aura
2
2/1(+43%)
(6) Invincible Aura 2/1, Fine second of 8 in nursery at Pontefract (6f, good to soft) last month but not quite in same form when mid-field in valuable sales race at Newmarket (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Player in this company. Ran well at Pontefract on nursery debut (RPR 80; hung left); tough task latest; e-w claims.

4th (9) (11/2 -10%) Delicacy
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(9) Delicacy 11/2, Twice-raced maiden. 10/3, went backwards from debut when sixth of 12 in minor event at Newbury (6f, good to firm), albeit spared hard race once held. Off 123 days. Still worth considering baring in mind debut promise. Two 6f runs in June, failing to build on debut promise (AW) at Newbury when last seen.
5th
4
5th (4) (66/1 -200%) Split The Profit
66
66/1(-200%)
(4) Split The Profit 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. Ran to barely modest level when tenth of 15 in minor event (200/1) at Windsor (6f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy. Well beaten in two 6f novices this autumn; can't be recommended.
6th
2
6th (2) (5/2 +72%) Eighth Army
2.5
5/2(+72%)
(2) Eighth Army 5/2, Twice-raced maiden. Much improved from debut when sixth of 11 in minor event (20/1) at Kempton (6f) 36 days ago but another step forward is required again. Promise in two 6f runs last month; more to come and he's one of the likelier types.
7th
5
7th (5) (80/1 -264%) Berry Clever
80
80/1(-264%)
(5) Berry Clever 80/1, Twice-raced maiden. 150/1, still needed experience when sixth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (6f) 10 days ago. Others preferred, Big prices and little impact in two 6f novice events this autumn; hard to fancy.
8th
3
8th (3) (80/1 +0%) Rothay Park
80
80/1(+0%)
(3) Rothay Park 80/1, Showcasing colt. 125/1, eleventh of 12 in minor event at Kempton (6f) on debut 24 days ago, slowly away. Looks one for the longer term. 125-1 and always out the back on this month's Kempton debut (6f); one for the longer term.
9th
7
9th (7) (14/1 +22%) Maith An Farhh
14
14/1(+22%)
(7) Maith An Farhh 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. 12/1, showed more than debut when fifth of 9 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 35 days ago, never nearer. Needs to progress again. Not beaten far over 7f last time but form doesn't look reliable; not bred to sprint either.
10th
8
10th (8) (25/1 -14%) Rishi
25
25/1(-14%)
(8) Rishi 25/1, Foaled April 25. £30,000 yearling, Massaat gelding. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Falcon Brook. Dam, 6f winner, half-sister to 5f winner Captain Dunne and 7f-1m winner Raadobarg (both smart). Yard's youngsters often need time. £30,000 half-brother to 7f AW winner Falcon Brook (RPR 76); likely a longer-term prospect.
11th
10
11th (10) (40/1 -122%) Jailbird
40
40/1(-122%)
(10) Jailbird 40/1, Twice-raced maiden. 40/1, fifth of 7 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to soft) 15 days ago. Hooded for 1st time. More needed. Modest form in two 7f events at Newmarket; hooded today; one for handicaps after this.
12th
12
12th (12) (80/1 -220%) Lammas Park
80
80/1(-220%)
(12) Lammas Park 80/1, Foaled March 20. 21,000 gns yearling, Advertise filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Ange de L'amour. Dam, 5f winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 7f Nufoos. Others make more appeal than this newcomer on paper. 21,000gns half-sister to a 6f winner; dam a useful sprinter; yard not renowned for 2yo joy.
LTO Selection:
17:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Almarada Prince completed a double when landing a novice contest at Hamilton last month and merits respect in his current form, but the son of Prince Of Lir may prove vulnerable carrying a double penalty in this event. INVINCIBLE AURA finished a respectable 11th in a valuable auction race at Newmarket earlier this month and he makes plenty of appeal in these calmer waters. Eighth Army and Delicacy are others to note after displaying ability on their respective appearances to date.
INVINCIBLE AURA held viable excuses on account of his disadvantageous draw and the quicker ground when only mid-field in a valuable sales event at Newmarket last time, so is given the chance to get the better the doubly-penalised Almarada Prince. Delicacy showed ability on her debut in the summer and also isn't ruled out of getting back on track after a break.
Invincible Aura and Eighth Army can feature but the promising ALMARADA PRINCE may be able to concede the weight all round.
(4) Agostino 11/8, Shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (11/4) 23 days ago (blindfold removed late and short of room home turn), so merits consideration. 15-race maiden but series of good recent runs on AW; vulnerable to anything progressive.
2
3
2nd (3) (22/1 -38%) Habooba
22
22/1(-38%)
(3) Habooba 22/1, First run since leaving A. Bin Harmash when ninth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f, 50/1) on UK debut 69 days ago. Back down in trip. Very hard to make a case for. Well-beaten 50-1 shot on her British/stable debut ten weeks ago (1m); too much to prove.
3
2
3rd (2) (9/1 +25%) Sir Rodneyredblood
9
9/1(+25%)
(2) Sir Rodneyredblood 9/1, Six-time course winner. 12/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 19 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Conditions to suit and dropping into Class 6 company will help this six-time course winner.
4
7
4th (7) (14/1 +0%) Indie Skies
14
14/1(+0%)
(7) Indie Skies 14/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, fifth of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 19 days ago, never nearer. Makes handicap debut. Easy to look elsewhere. Faces his first realistic chance on this handicap debut; not solid but worth market check.
5th
1
5th (1) (7/1 -100%) Fletcher's Flight
7
7/1(-100%)
(1) Fletcher's Flight 7/1, Thrice-raced winner. 13/2, improved again when won 8-runner minor event at Redcar (6f, good) 39 days ago, comfortably. That was a weak event, though, and he'll likely need a bit more to defy this opening mark. Made all dropped to 6f at Redcar last month; could have been let into handicaps lightly.
6th
5
6th (5) (6/1 +14%) Miss Gallagher
6
6/1(+14%)
(5) Miss Gallagher 6/1, One of lesser efforts when eighth of 11 in handicap (10/1) at Kempton (7f) 40 days ago. In decent form prior, so not fully ruled out if able to bounce back quickly. Ten-race maiden; failed to fire last time and drop in trip/class not enough to tempt.
7th
6
7th (6) (3/1 -20%) Corinthia Knight
3
3/1(-20%)
(6) Corinthia Knight 3/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2022 but has been placed on each of his last 4 outings, again running well when second of 15 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 4/1) 19 days ago. Has to be taken seriously. Engaged 7.45 Wolverhampton Friday. In good form off his higher turf mark this autumn; non-runner 7.45 Wolverhampton Friday.
8th
8
8th (8) (33/1 -32%) Bobby On The Beat
33
33/1(-32%)
(8) Bobby On The Beat 33/1, Course winner. Placed twice in the spring but currently badly out of sorts, only ninth of 10 in handicap (50/1) at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 12 days ago. Hard to fancy. Risky but he's down in the weights and this return to Class 6 company will suit.
LTO Selection:
17:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
AGOSTINO ran better than the beaten distance on his fourth-placed finish over C&D recently after being slowly away due to the blindfold being stuck. The Robert Cowell-trained inmate has been found a suitable opportunity to get off the mark. Fletcher's Flight makes his handicap debut off what appears to be a fair mark and is entitled to be in the mix following his Redcar victory, while others to note include Miss Gallagher and Indie Skies.
CORINTHIA KNIGHT has been knocking on the door of late and this appears to represent a fine opportunity for him to notch a first win of the year. Agostino is also going through a good spell at present and rates as the main danger, with Sir Rodneyredblood a pick for third on account of his good course record.
Sir Rodneyredblood will be a danger to all but handicap newcomer FLETCHER'S FLIGHT can follow up his Redcar novice win.
(7) Enrico Caruso 7/1, Looked badly in need of the experience when fifth of 6 in minor event (4/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut 32 days ago, very slowly away. Will surely improve on that initial effort, possibly by quite a bit. Slowly away/green when never-dangerous fifth of six at Lingfield; could improve markedly.
2
8
2nd (8) (9/4 +55%) Incremental
2.25
9/4(+55%)
(8) Incremental 9/4, Showed promise when fourth of 6 in minor event (9/1) at Kempton (10f) on debut 7 months ago, slowly away. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden (35,000 gns) and has been gelded. Left the Gosdens for 35,000gns after quite a promising debut fourth; shortlisted.
3
10
3rd (10) (7/4 +13%) Lord Melbourne
1.75
7/4(+13%)
(10) Lord Melbourne 7/4, 9/4, showed bundles to work on once more when second of 4 in maiden at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) 19 days ago, outstayed by a stronger stayer but pulling clear of rest. Remains capable of better and may prove hard to beat. Distinct promise at Salisbury and Pontefract; still has potential; looks the one to beat.
4
1
4th (1) (5/1 +38%) Man Of Monaco
5
5/1(+38%)
(1) Man Of Monaco 5/1, Improved from debut when won 5-runner minor event (13/2) at Beverley (9.9f, heavy) 38 days ago. Likely to improve. Improvement when winning at Beverley; open to further progress but gives weight all round.
5th
14
5th (14) (20/1 +29%) Karriewhitchit
20
20/1(+29%)
(14) Karriewhitchit 20/1, Dubawi filly. Sister to 2-y-o 7f winner Kazimiera and useful 1m-1¼m winner Franz Kafka and half-sister to useful 1¼m-1¾m winner Charles Kingsley. Wears hood and interesting to see which way she goes in the betting. Refused to enter stalls on intended debut at Yarmouth in August; now sports a hood.
6th
5
6th (5) (12/1 +40%) Assail
12
12/1(+40%)
(5) Assail 12/1, £130,000 yearling, No Nay Never gelding. Closely related to 1½m winner Sarsons Risk and half-brother to 7f winner Mayne and 2-y-o 1m winner Glengowan. Dam, 1½m winner, sister to smart 1½m winner Say. Newcomer; some appeal on pedigree and yard has been in excellent form over the last month.
7th
13
7th (13) (11/1 -10%) Daydream Express
11
11/1(-10%)
(13) Daydream Express 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 12 in maiden (3/1) at Kempton (7f) 12 days ago, left poorly placed. Significantly up in trip. Worth another chance to build on her debut promise. Failed to build on debut run but this step up in trip could be in her favour.
8th
6
8th (6) (66/1 -313%) Didactic Patrick
66
66/1(-313%)
(6) Didactic Patrick 66/1, 66/1, showed some ability when third of 5 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut 6 weeks ago, not knocked about. Some promise when third of five at Lingfield on debut but that wasn't a strong race.
9th
3
9th (3) (200/1 -100%) Total Master
200
200/1(-100%)
(3) Total Master 200/1, 50/1, offered little upped markedly in trip 2 years on from his debut when last of 5 in minor event at Ripon (12f, soft) 4 weeks ago. Soundly beaten in two runs two years apart; impossible to fancy.
10th
11
10th (11) (150/1 -50%) Sir Cilia
150
150/1(-50%)
(11) Sir Cilia 150/1, Twice-raced maiden. Hooded for 1st time, first run since leaving Eve Johnson Houghton after 5 months off when thirteenth of 14 in maiden at Windsor (8.1f, good to soft, 80/1) 12 days ago. Back up in trip. Has beaten only one home in two runs at Windsor, hooded on latest; lots to find.
11th
12
11th (12) (150/1 -355%) A Touch Of Silver
150
150/1(-355%)
(12) A Touch Of Silver 150/1, 40/1, fared little better than on debut after 4 months off when fifth of 6 in minor event at Epsom (10.1f, good to firm) 27 days ago. Long odds and scant promise in novices over this trip at Windsor and Epsom.
12th
4
12th (4) (66/1 -371%) Apolo
66
66/1(-371%)
(4) Apolo 66/1, Twice-raced maiden. 7/2, ran no sort of race when last of 10 in minor event at Windsor (10f, good to soft) back in June. First run for yard after leaving John & Thady Gosden (9,000 gns) and has been gelded. Well bred; went backwards after promising debut for the Gosdens; has since been gelded.
13th
2
13th (2) (250/1 -150%) Manny Boy
250
250/1(-150%)
(2) Manny Boy 250/1, 300/1, showed a bit more than on debut when ninth of 12 in minor event at Kempton (8f) 52 days ago. Back up in trip. Well held at triple-figure prices in AW maiden/novice and difficult to recommend.
LTO Selection:
18:00 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
LORD MELBOURNE posted another creditable effort in defeat when runner-up in a maiden contest at Pontefract earlier in October and a similar level of performance for the son of Wootton Bassett may be enough to earn a breakthrough success here. Incremental was beaten just under two lengths on his debut at Kempton in April and could offer the most resistance to the selection, shortly followed by penalised-winner Man Of Monaco, who displayed a willing attitude in his victory at Beverley last month.
Plenty in with chances but LORD MELBOURNE showed bundles to work on once again when runner-up at Pontefract recently and, with further progress on the cards, he's fancied to make it third time lucky dropped back to 1¼m for his all-weather debut. Incremental showed promise amidst greenness when fourth at Kempton back in April and he may emerge as the main danger having been gelded/moved yards since. Daydream Express and newcomer Karriewhitchit round off the shortlist.
Despite the big field, this is not a race with much strength in depth and LORD MELBOURNE has solid claims.
(3) Hey Lyla 4/1, 7/1, below form when eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (10f) 23 days ago. Others more persuasive. 12lb below last winning mark, but better at 7f and not the only front-runner in the field.
2
4
2nd (4) (5/2 +58%) Emma Emilleen
2.5
5/2(+58%)
(4) Emma Emilleen 5/2, Bounced back to form returned to all-weather when fourth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at Kempton (11f) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Fancied to feature for her in-form yard. Has been racing over further lately, but may get a good pace to aim at; shortlisted.
3
5
3rd (5) (13/2 +19%) Tamaluk
6.5
13/2(+19%)
(5) Tamaluk 13/2, 9/1, again offered something to work on when seventh of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 23 days ago. Place claims. 0-10; ran well on penultimate start, but not so good last time and isn't progressing.
4
8
4th (8) (20/1 +0%) Sparkling Spirit
20
20/1(+0%)
(8) Sparkling Spirit 20/1, Below form when seventh of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 7 days ago, badly hampered first bend. Likely to find a few too strong. 0-10 and has become inconsistent; others are more solid.
5th
1
5th (1) (10/1 -33%) Canadiansmokeshow
10
10/1(-33%)
(1) Canadiansmokeshow 10/1, Winner at Brighton in June. Added to a patchy record when fifth of 6 in handicap at Epsom (8.5f, good to firm, 9/1) 44 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Hasn't backed up her breakthrough Brighton success; something to prove on Polytrack debut.
6th
7
6th (7) (7/1 +30%) Cariad
7
7/1(+30%)
(7) Cariad 7/1, 8/1 and blinkered for 1st time, ran up to best when fifth of 11 in handicap at this course (7f) 16 days ago, keeping on well. Enters calculations from a 1 lb lower mark. 1lb below her last winning mark and may have the race run to suit; interesting.
7th
6
7th (6) (33/1 -50%) Impulsive Lady
33
33/1(-50%)
(6) Impulsive Lady 33/1, 14/1, fared no better than on handicap debut when seventh of 8 at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 months ago. First run for yard after leaving James Tate (11,000 gns) and she's worth a second look for a yard associated with rejuvenating similar types. Regressive for James Tate and makes stable debut after nine months off; watch market.
8th
2
8th (2) (3/1 -33%) Creme Chantilly
3
3/1(-33%)
(2) Creme Chantilly 3/1, Got back on the up in no uncertain terms from a dropping mark when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D (17/2) 16 days ago, keeping on well. 7 lb higher here but has won 2 of 3 starts on synthetic surfaces and should remain competitive. 2-2 over C&D; 7lb rise fair but the presence of other front-runners a potential issue.
LTO Selection:
18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
CREME CHANTILLY accounted for her nearest rival by just over three lengths over C&D earlier in the month and she was hit with a 7lb rise for that display. The daughter of New Bay may have more to come, so she could prove difficult to beat. Emma Emilleen put in a respectable effort in fourth over 1m3f at Kempton last time and is an interesting contender dropping back in trip. Tamaluk completes the shortlist.
CREME CHANTILLY got back on the up in no uncertain terms when doubling her tally over C&D earlier this month and Michael Bell's filly can make it 3 wins from 4 starts at this venue. Second choice is Emma Emilleen, who bounced back to form at Kempton recently and this drop back in trip could see her go close, with Cariad and Tamaluk taken to battle out third.
The choice is CARIAD who should be suited by the return to this trip and has dropped 1lb below her last winning mark.
(2) Style Of Life 2.25/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Wolverhampton in September. 10/3, ninth of 11 in handicap at Brighton (8f, good) 18 days ago. Likely to be back on her game returned to AW. Made all at Wolverhampton last month, but couldn't dominate last time; still unexposed.
2
7
2nd (7) (22/1 -144%) Twilight Jazz
22
22/1(-144%)
(7) Twilight Jazz 22/1, Winner at Leicester in July. Last of 12 in handicap at this course (10f, 14/1) 58 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two heavy defeats since belatedly getting off the mark leave her with a bit to prove.
3
6
3rd (6) (4.5/1 +10%) Meng Tian
4.5
4.5/1(+10%)
(6) Meng Tian 4.5/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. 7/2, bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 18 days ago. Had been in good order prior to that and shouldn't be taken lightly. Losing run up to 18, but form of latest Southwell fifth has been boosted; interesting.
4
1
4th (1) (2.75/1 +21%) Lost In Time
2.75
2.75/1(+21%)
(1) Lost In Time 2.75/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in July. 17/2, respectable fifth of 12 in handicap at this course (10f) 23 days ago. Should be thereabouts. Last seven starts over 1m2f including a win; claims granted a good pace to aim at.
5th
4
5th (4) (3/1 +0%) Asdaa
3
3/1(+0%)
(4) Asdaa 3/1, C&D winner. 16/1 and visored for 1st time, respectable sixth of 11 in handicap at Newcastle (8f) 8 days ago, never nearer. One to consider. Dual winner here, but on a losing run of 14 and needs a bit more to return to winning ways.
6th
8
6th (8) (25/1 -25%) Streetstorm
25
25/1(-25%)
(8) Streetstorm 25/1, 33/1, ninth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 12 days ago. Back down in trip. Hard to make a strong case for. 0-12 and held since going close at Lingfield in June; look elsewhere.
7th
3
7th (3) (22/1 -38%) Tables Turned
22
22/1(-38%)
(3) Tables Turned 22/1, Last of 8 in handicap (22/1) at Lingfield (7.6f, good to soft) 89 days ago. Others more persuasive. 3lb lower than when a close fourth over 1m2f here in May; off three months; shortlisted.
8th
5
8th (5) (33/1 -32%) Underlay
33
33/1(-32%)
(5) Underlay 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (66/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 26 days ago. Makes polytrack debut. Not easy to make a case for. Well beaten in four starts on turf; half-brother to a multiple turf/AW winner.
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.
STYLE OF LIFE was victorious at Wolverhampton on her penultimate start before disappointing at Brighton when she finished ninth. The Jamie Osborne-trained filly could easily bounce back on her return to the all-weather, so she is worth siding with. The main threat is Meng Tian, who has put in two solid efforts in this grade the last twice and can be thereabouts, while Lost In Time is another to watch out for.
STYLE OF LIFE was successful at Wolverhampton on her penultimate run and, back on AW, she makes plenty of appeal in a thin race. Lost In Time is the main danger and Asdaa is worthy of consideration having shaped better than the result last time.
This can go to MENG TIAN whose latest Southwell fifth is working out well and who has dropped 23lb below his last winning mark.
(4) Grand Duchess Olga 10/3, Course winner. Winner here in September. Creditable fourth of 12 in handicap (10/3) at this course (14f) 9 days ago. Should give another good account. Consistent since cheekpieces were fitted; unlikely to be far away if staying longer trip.
2
1
2nd (1) (4/1 +56%) Shadowfax
4
4/1(+56%)
(1) Shadowfax 4/1, Eighth of 9 in handicap (40/1) at Beverley (16.2f, good to firm) 72 days ago. Hasn't been firing this year but becoming well treated. Carries clear risks (0-9; below par when last seen) but mark has tumbled and the AW suits.
3
3
3rd (3) (16/1 -33%) Global Wonder
16
16/1(-33%)
(3) Global Wonder 16/1, C&D winner. 22/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f). Off 156 days. Something to prove. Winning return from 11 months off over C&D in February; could be revived by another break.
4
2
4th (2) (11/4 +39%) Vienna Girl
2.75
11/4(+39%)
(2) Vienna Girl 11/4, Very good third of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f, 9/1) 30 days ago. One to consider. Best Flat run when third at Southwell last month; more persuasive than most.
5th

5th (6) (14/1 -17%) Gino's Girl

14/1(-17%)
(6) Gino's Girl 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable sixth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (16f, 25/1) 31 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Not discounted. Maiden; stamina still unproven at 2m; needs first-time blinkers to have positive effect.

5.5
11/2(+0%)
(7) Mellow Mood 11/2, Fifth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 10/3) 7 days ago. Should give her running but she's had plenty of chances from similar marks. Consistent type but 0-12; in the mix but others appeal more for the win.

7th (5) (9/2 -13%) Lady Bracken
4.5
9/2(-13%)
(5) Lady Bracken 9/2, 7/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Musselburgh (16f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Still lightly raced and worth a chance to open her account. In the mix judged on recent turf efforts but yet to prove effectiveness on AW.

8th (8) (125/1 -346%) Wilpena Pound
125
125/1(-346%)
(8) Wilpena Pound 125/1, Sixth of 10 in handicap (80/1) at Wolverhampton (14f) 19 days ago. Others more persuasive. Yet to finish in the first five after 11 attempts and hard to see him breaking his duck.
LTO Selection:
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
LADY BRACKEN has been thereabouts in this grade the last twice, including when beaten just over two lengths into third at Musselburgh, and she remains on the same rating. The three-year-old ought to go close with a repeat of that effort. Grand Duchess Olga takes a slight step up in distance, which could eke out more, and has to be respected. Of the remainder, Vienna Girl makes the most appeal after her third at Southwell.
LADY BRACKEN is going the right way and could be up to getting off the mark with a promising claimer taking 7 lb off. In-form pair Vienna Girl and Grand Duchess Olga are both obvious dangers.
Bred to win Group races, SHADOWFAX has been disappointing but his mark is tumbling and he could be worth chancing back on the AW.
(7) Nemorum 4.5/1, Remains a maiden after 20 starts but he does arrive on the back of a pair of creditable fourth-placed finishes over C&D. Thereabouts if in similar form Winless in 20 goes but he's running with credit over C&D at present; likely contender.

2nd (6) (5/1 +17%) Fast Flo

5/1(+17%)
(6) Fast Flo 5/1, Remains a maiden after 19 starts. 12/1, creditable third of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft) 37 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. 0-19 but has been placed three times, including at Yarmouth last time; each-way claims.

3rd (2) (6/1 -80%) Poetic Jack

6/1(-80%)
(2) Poetic Jack 6/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Yarmouth (7f, soft, 18/1) 37 days ago. Quickly returns to AW. Maiden; well held last time but mark is falling and doesn't have many miles on the clock.

4th (4) (7/4 +50%) Last Date
1.75
7/4(+50%)
(4) Last Date 7/4, C&D winner. Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. 9/2, creditable second of 10 over C&D 9 days ago, clear of rest. Likely to be in the thick of things again. Solid record on this track, second over C&D last week; high on the list in a weak race.
5th

5th (3) (20/1 -25%) Cabaret Show

20/1(-25%)
(3) Cabaret Show 20/1, Modest form. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on first 1st time, seventh of 10 on 1m Lingfield handicap debut 52 days ago. Unexposed but more needed. Has run only on the AW so far and hasn't progressed, well held on handicap debut last time.
6th

6th (5) (11/1 -38%) Equiami
11
11/1(-38%)
(5) Equiami 11/1, Winner at Southwell in April but well beaten on all 3 outings since. Bounce back needed. Failed to repeat form of April's Southwell win but might be revived by four-month break.

7th (1) (8/1 +56%) Many Rivers
8
8/1(+56%)
(1) Many Rivers 8/1, Has been unable to make an impact in handicaps on turf. Remains to be seen if a switch to AW makes any difference. Seven-race maiden; has gone the wrong way since an encouraging debut.

8th (8) (20/1 +0%) Alicefromumbridge
20
20/1(+0%)
(8) Alicefromumbridge 20/1, Poor form. Seventh of 10 in handicap at this course (1m, 66/1) 14 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Won at Lingfield early this year but has been treading water off this sort of mark since.
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.
LAST DATE appears the one to beat here as the only course winner in the field having won here three times during his career. Without a win since April 2021, he was last seen finishing second here off the same mark and may have been found a race he can win. Many Rivers could be interesting with Shariq Mohd claiming 7lb from the saddle, leaving Poetic Jack as the likeliest to follow them home.
LAST DATE has refound some form lately and perhaps he can get his head back in front. Nemorum has strung a couple of decent efforts together here this autumn and is second choice ahead of Fast Flo.
There won't be many better opportunities for NEMORUM to get off the mark and he's taken to break his duck at the 21st attempt.
(1) Mick's Spirit 13/8, Eased in weights and confirmed return to form when finishing very good second of 7 in a C&D handicap 37 days ago, quickening to lead over 1f out and collared line. Of interest again now he's back in the groove. All wins at Lingfield but effective elsewhere, as when pipped at the post over C&D latest.

2nd (6) (17/2 +29%) Conquest Of Power
8.5
17/2(+29%)
(6) Conquest Of Power 17/2, 28/1, eleventh of 14 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, soft) 10 days ago, racing off the pace and never dangerous. Again had soft ground as a possible excuse then and switch back to an artificial surface may help now from tumbling mark. Offered little after a long absence but down in grade with headgear returned; check market.

3rd (4) (10/3 +33%) Josies Kid
3.333333
10/3(+33%)
(4) Josies Kid 10/3, Latest win at Wolverhampton in June. Good second of 10 in handicap back at that venue (5.1f, 7/2) 7 days ago, headed last ½f. Another holding claims with cheekpieces back on. Pleasing return to action last week and headgear back on today; major player.

4th (2) (5/2 -53%) So Sleepy

5/2(-53%)
(2) So Sleepy 5/2, Career best when winning 7-runner handicap at this C&D (11/10) 16 days ago, leading final 100 yds and ultimately winning comfortably. Sound claims from 6 lb higher mark. Followed unlucky Lingfield defeat with easy C&D win; now 6lb higher; usually slowly away.
5th

5th (7) (8/1 -23%) Jacquelina
8
8/1(-23%)
(7) Jacquelina 8/1, Winner at Chepstow (5f) in June. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap (5/2) at Yarmouth (5.2f, good) in July, no extra final 100 yds. No forlorn hope returning from 114 days off. Chepstow win in June was followed by some good runs in defeat; 114-day layoff to defy.

6th (5) (40/1 -150%) Due Date
40
40/1(-150%)
(5) Due Date 40/1, Offered little both starts upon joining present stable in recent weeks and application of first-time visor/tongue tie needs to have serious effect if he's to figure. Finished last in two runs for new yard this month; new accessories now but easy to swerve.
LTO Selection:
20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Mick's Spirit has been frustrating recently with a third at Southwell and a nose second here last time out, but he has been put up 2lb for that and may have to settle for a place here. SO SLEEPY showed plenty of improvement to win with ease here on her latest outing and another 6lb from the handicapper may not be enough to stop the daughter of Oasis Dream from following up, leaving Wolverhampton runner-up Josies Kid as the third to consider in a tightly-matched contest.
SO SLEEPY gained deserved compensation for her unlucky defeat previously when running out a comfortable winner of a C&D handicap 16 days ago and a repeat here should see her make another bold bid from a 6 lb higher mark. Fellow in-form pair Mick's Spirit and Josies Kid head up the dangers.
Mick's Spirit went close here last time but JOSIES KID (nap) is taken to confirm the promise of last week's return to action.
