The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(1) Montecristo Gold 7/2, Took a small step forward in first-time blinkers when third of 9 in nursery at this course (7f, 17/2) 12 days ago. The runner-up has already franked that form, so must enter calculations. Form of latest 7f course third boosted by second winning since; 1m should suit; considered.

15/2(-25%)
(2) Gregorina 15/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, sixth of 9 in nursery at Newcastle (8f, 7/2) 13 days ago. Makes polytrack debut and has possibilities if building on earlier promise. Sixth on nursery debut but jockey booking and blinkers possible reasons for better today.

(4) Cowboy Stuff 11/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 6 in minor event (125/1) at Brighton (8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Wears first-time cheekpieces for handicap debut. Modest form in four qualifying runs; cheekpieces are added for handicap debut.

13/2(+7%)
(3) Maverick Style 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Creditable fifth of 12 in nursery at Kempton (8f, 14/1) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. Failed to improve for step up to 1m on nursery debut; cheekpieces need to give her a lift.

9
9/1(+64%)
(9) Tenyatta 9/1, 28/1, ninth of 12 in nursery at Kempton (8f) 31 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. No impact in four nurseries and another here who needs to improve for headgear.
7th

7th (6) (25/1 -25%) Bramble Jelly
25
25/1(-25%)
(6) Bramble Jelly 25/1, Looks limited on early evidence. First-time cheekpieces need to bring about improvement. Well held, including in nurseries; first-time cheekpieces need to spark improvement.
8th

8th (7) (4/1 +27%) Aspire To Glory
4
4/1(+27%)
(7) Aspire To Glory 4/1, Creditable fifth of 9 in nursery at this course (7f, 11/1) 12 days ago. Cheekpieces on for 1st time. 1m may suit but Montecristo Gold holds him on recent 7f course form; cheekpieces go on.
9th
8
9th (8) (12/1 -33%) Hope Joanna
12
12/1(-33%)
(8) Hope Joanna 12/1, Down the field in maiden/novice events so improvement required on nursery debut. In good hands and could improve now handicapping for the first time.
LTO Selection:
16:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Rising Force won here when wearing a first-time hood in September and hasn't been disgraced in two starts since, suggesting he could have some say in the finish. Hope Joanna has shown some ability despite failing to handle the heavy ground at Redcar, and she could go well on her nursery debut, but a chance is taken on GREGORINA. Her Newcastle third may be the best form on offer and first-time blinkers may bring her back to that level.
RISING FORCE was unlucky to bump into a big improver on his penultimate start and, having shaped as if still in good form at Kempton since, he remains of interest. Montecristo Gold and Gregorina look most interesting of the opposition.
The way MONTECRISTO GOLD kept on for third over 7f here last time suggested 1m could suit him and he can get off the mark.
(9) Rochelle 4/11, Promising Scissor Kick filly who shaped well when third of 17 in maiden at Newmarket (7f, good to firm, 10/3) on her debut 47 days ago. Sets a good standard. Promising third of 17 on 7f Newmarket debut; the one to beat with improvement likely.
2
7
2nd (7) (9/1 +10%) Post Rider
9
9/1(+10%)
(7) Post Rider 9/1, Foaled May 3. Postponed filly. Half-sister to winner up to 11.4f Geelong and 2-y-o 6f winner Wyoming. Considered newcomer. Reasonable pedigree and needs monitoring in the betting.
3
2
3rd (2) (15/2 -50%) Born A Rebel
7.5
15/2(-50%)
(2) Born A Rebel 15/2, 50/1, fifth of 6 in maiden at Nottingham (8.3f, heavy) on debut 43 days ago. Needs to build on it. Showed a bit when fifth of seven on turf debut; dam AW winner.
4
11
4th (11) (40/1 +39%) Sky Blue Dreams
40
40/1(+39%)
(11) Sky Blue Dreams 40/1, 22/1, seventh of 10 in maiden at this course (6f) on debut 14 days ago. Needs to take a big step forward. Beaten 12l on 6f course debut and Kieran O'Neill on stablemate Dusk Dame this time.
5th
5
5th (5) (11/1 +21%) Kingmont
11
11/1(+21%)
(5) Kingmont 11/1, Foaled February 22. €22,000 yearling, Calyx filly. Dam, 13.3f/1¾m winner, half-sister to smart winner up to 9.4f Lat Hawill. Possibilities. Some paper appeal and one to note in the betting.
6th
12
6th (12) (10/1 -33%) They
10
10/1(-33%)
(12) They 10/1, Foaled April 8. £5,000 yearling, Mayson filly. Closely related to 1m winner Mintnthat. Dam twice-raced half-sister to smart 1¼m winner (stayed 1½m) Linguistic. One to note on her debut. Newcomer from a good stable; the betting should help guide to expectations.
7th
3
7th (3) (80/1 -21%) Bumblebee Bullet
80
80/1(-21%)
(3) Bumblebee Bullet 80/1, Twice-raced filly. 11/1, seventh of 9 in maiden at Newcastle (6f) 16 days ago. Lots to find on form. Well held in two runs this autumn and likely booked for another struggle.
8th
4
8th (4) (28/1 -155%) Dusk Dame
28
28/1(-155%)
(4) Dusk Dame 28/1, Foaled March 7. Twilight Son filly. Dam 6f winner. Wears tongue strap. No forlorn hope. Tongue-tied on debut but the yard does well with 2yos; betting should guide.
9th
10
9th (10) (150/1 -50%) Rosadilly
150
150/1(-50%)
(10) Rosadilly 150/1, Twice-raced filly. 25/1, eleventh of 12 in maiden at Kempton (6f) 64 days ago. Down the field in two outings over 6f at the end of the summer.
10th
6
10th (6) (200/1 -203%) Origin Of Storms
200
200/1(-203%)
(6) Origin Of Storms 200/1, 1,000Y. Half-sister to useful 12.4f-2m winner Murau (by Mukhadram). Dam, 2m winner, half-sister to very smart winner up to 14.6f Craigsteel out of smart maiden Applecross. Others appeal more on this occasion. Bred for further; likely outsider on debut.
LTO Selection:
17:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
ROCHELLE failed to justify favouritism on her debut over 7f at Newmarket in September but still shaped with plenty of promise in third and should have learned plenty from that experience. This looks a good opportunity for her to make it second-time lucky, with possibly most to fear from Dusk Dame and Kingmont. Market support for either of those two newcomers would be very interesting, especially the latter whose dam was Listed-placed and won at this venue.
ROCHELLE made a promising start when third in a big-field Newmarket maiden and looks very much the way to go here with improvement on the cards. Newcomers They and Post Rider are interesting and need monitoring in the betting.
This looks a good opportunity for ROCHELLE to build on her promising debut third at Newmarket.
17:00 Chelmsford Maiden (Class 5) 7f PREDICTION SIMULATION
(3) Rogue Thunder 5/2, Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, fourth of 10 in minor event (15/2) at Newcastle (6f), doing too much too soon. Off 8 months/had wind op and not dismissed. Consistent in three runs; possibilities if he shows any improvement for wind surgery.
2
2
2nd (2) (11/8 +39%) Moon Flight
1.375
11/8(+39%)
(2) Moon Flight 11/8, Fair gelding. 9/4 and hooded for 1st time, good second of 4 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) 9 days ago. Big shout with the headgear retained. Frustrating sort; major player on ratings but hasn't progressed and comes with risk.
3
10
3rd (10) (12/1 -41%) David's Diva
12
12/1(-41%)
(10) David's Diva 12/1, Twice-raced maiden. 17/2, good third of 13 in maiden at Southwell (8.1f), nearest finish. Off 9 months so needs to hit the ground running. Showed ability in two AW races last winter; likely player if returning in similar form.
4
4
4th (4) (150/1 -500%) Wee Geordie
150
150/1(-500%)
(4) Wee Geordie 150/1, Last of 12 in maiden at Windsor (6f, good to firm, 66/1) on debut 38 days ago. Inauspicious debut in 6f maiden at Windsor.
5th
7
5th (7) (9/2 +18%) Fianian
4.5
9/2(+18%)
(7) Fianian 9/2, Twice-raced maiden. First run since leaving Sean Davis when good second of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 7/2) 20 days ago. One for the shortlist. Comfortably held on sole Irish start; fared much better at Wolverhampton for new stable.
6th
1
6th (1) (12/1 -85%) Maruna
12
12/1(-85%)
(1) Maruna 12/1, 1 win from 2 runs this year. 5/1, won 4-runner minor event at Newcastle (8f) 13 days ago, kept up to work. Open to improvement but this demands more under her penalty. Not far behind Fianian at Wolverhampton, then won at Newcastle; may improve further.
7th
9
7th (9) (50/1 -213%) Button Bay
50
50/1(-213%)
(9) Button Bay 50/1, 6/1, eighth of 10 in minor event at Catterick (6f, heavy) on debut 26 days ago. Attracted support at Catterick and is evidently thought capable of better.
8th
8
8th (8) (17/2 -21%) Tayanna
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(8) Tayanna 17/2, 150/1, sixth of 14 in minor event at Kempton (8f) on her belated debut 10 days ago. This Sepoy mare can go well again. Encouraging effort (sixth of 14) at Kempton last week on belated debut.
9th
6
9th (6) (20/1 +9%) Maurices Men
20
20/1(+9%)
(6) Maurices Men 20/1, Twice-raced maiden. 6/1, fifth of 8 in seller at Leicester (7f, heavy) 30 days ago. Significantly more is required. Modest RPRs in AW novice event and turf seller.
10th
11
10th (11) (200/1 -400%) Won't Stand Down
200
200/1(-400%)
(11) Won't Stand Down 200/1, Ninth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 20/1) on debut 20 days ago. Finished behind two of these rivals at Wolverhampton on debut.
11th
5
11th (5) (250/1 -150%) Bringhomethebacon
250
250/1(-150%)
(5) Bringhomethebacon 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. Last of 7 in minor event (125/1) at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 44 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do. Has trailed home last in a couple of 5f races.
LTO Selection:
17:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Mick Appleby has been in amongst the winners recently and MARUNA contributed with a Newcastle victory earlier in the month. She travelled well throughout that day so the drop back in trip should not be an issue. David's Diva stayed on strongly when third at Southwell and should go well if getting a strong pace to aim at, though Moon Flight seems a bigger danger on the back of his latest second.
MOON FLIGHT showed the benefit of a hood when runner-up at Newcastle last time and can get off the mark here with the headgear again sported. Tayanna is next on the list on the back of her encouraging debut sixth, with Newcastle scorer Maruna and the returning David's Diva also in the mix.
The wind tweak may well enable ROGUE THUNDER to show some progress and get off the mark. David's Diva is second choice.
(11) Engelbert 11/2, Good second of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 27 days ago, having to pick way through. Still not fully exposed and likely to go close. Likely player if transferring his Tapeta form back to Polytrack.
1
7
1st (7) (4/1 -20%) Riot
4
4/1(-20%)
(7) Riot 4/1, C&D winner. Creditable length fifth of 12 to Sir Oliver in handicap (9/2) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago, running on. Shortlist material. Ended up with too much to do in the Lingfield event won by Sir Oliver; major player.
2
10
2nd (10) (11/1 -69%) Hot Chesnut
11
11/1(-69%)
(10) Hot Chesnut 11/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Newbury in July. Creditable fourth of 11 in handicap (11/1) at Newmarket (7f, good to firm) 40 days ago, running on late. Worthy of consideration. Won at this track on last AW appearance; ran well in latest turf race.
3
4
3rd (4) (5/1 +38%) G'Daay
5
5/1(+38%)
(4) G'Daay 5/1, 3-time C&D winner. Latest win at Epsom in July. 9/1, creditable fourth of 11 in handicap at this C&D 33 days ago. Should remain competitive. Three-time C&D scorer who has a fighting chance off current mark.
4
1
4th (1) (7/2 +42%) Sir Oliver
3.5
7/2(+42%)
(1) Sir Oliver 7/2, C&D winner. 10/3, won 12-runner handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago. Carries penalty but likely to be on the premises again. Carries a penalty for Lingfield win but is still favourably treated on peak form.
5th
9
5th (9) (22/1 +33%) Eden Storm
22
22/1(+33%)
(9) Eden Storm 22/1, Lightly-raced winner. Last of 11 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (7f) 31 days ago, slowly away. Others have achieved more. Has failed to beat a rival in two handicap attempts.
6th
3
6th (3) (22/1 -100%) Revolutionise
22
22/1(-100%)
(3) Revolutionise 22/1, C&D winner. 7/2, creditable second of 7 in handicap at this C&D. Off 7 months. Can make his presence felt if fully tuned up. Fresh when gaining last success; interesting on return from layoff.
7th
5
7th (5) (28/1 -75%) Jilly Cooper
28
28/1(-75%)
(5) Jilly Cooper 28/1, 11/1, tailed-off last of 12 to Sir Oliver in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 9 days ago, very slowly away. Not easy to make a case for. Blew the start and trailed throughout last time; not without risk.
8th
8
8th (8) (50/1 -25%) Little Boy Blue
50
50/1(-25%)
(8) Little Boy Blue 50/1, 28/1, eleventh of 17 in handicap at Newmarket (7f, heavy) 12 days ago. Needs to do more. Something to find on the balance of last few turf efforts.
9th
2
9th (2) (17/2 +23%) Maxi Boy
8.5
17/2(+23%)
(2) Maxi Boy 17/2, Seventeen runs since last win in 2019. 16/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Epsom (7f, good to firm) 46 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Needs headgear to perk him up. 0-21 since debut win but has possibilities if taking well to new headgear.
10th
6
10th (6) (5/1 +38%) Society Lion
5
5/1(+38%)
(6) Society Lion 5/1, Latest win at Windsor in July. 3/1, below form third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (6f, good) 74 days ago, slowly away. Stable is going well, so he's likely to get back on track after a break. Has gained last three wins over 6f; others may see this race out better.
LTO Selection:
18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
Revolutionise was a model of consistency earlier in the year, as he hasn't finished out of the top three in his last five starts, and should go well on his return to action. However, the vote goes to HOT CHESNUT, who was a close-up fourth in a class 3 event at Newmarket last month and she was only raised 1lb for that effort. The daughter of Camacho struck over C&D in June and could be the one to beat. G'daay completes the shortlist.
RIOT is on a handy mark and finished to good effect behind Sir Oliver at Lingfield last week, so he's fancied to reverse form with that rival, who is also respected. Engelbert is less exposed than the aforementioned pair, so he warrants interest, too.
Fresh following an absence, this may prove the time to catch REVOLUTIONISE. Riot is feared most.
(2) Poetic Jack 11/1, Modest maiden who ran well when third of 8 in C&D handicap (6/1) 19 days ago. He's still lightly raced enough to think he may have an even bigger effort in him. Finished third over C&D most recently and may take another step forward; shortlisted.
2
6
2nd (6) (17/2 -21%) Little Red Dancer
8.5
17/2(-21%)
(6) Little Red Dancer 17/2, Winner at Catterick in May. Good third of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 28/1) 9 days ago. Player if backing that up. Creditable third over 6f at Newcastle last week; place claims.
3
1
3rd (1) (4/6 +39%) Intoxicata
0.666667
4/6(+39%)
(1) Intoxicata 4/6, 3 wins from 12 runs this year, latest at Lingfield in November. Failed to complete the hat-trick at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 3 days ago but ran well nonetheless and remains of interest under another penalty. Clear second over 8.5f on Monday when bidding for hat-trick all wins at 7f; respected.
4
9
4th (9) (40/1 -43%) Dazzerling
40
40/1(-43%)
(9) Dazzerling 40/1, Remains a maiden after 20 Flat runs. 14/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago, unable to sustain effort. Chance depends on whether the return to 7f helps; 0-20.
5th
8
5th (8) (15/2 +46%) Brazen Arrow
7.5
15/2(+46%)
(8) Brazen Arrow 15/2, One win from 40 Flat runs. Twenty six runs since that win in 2022 but posted a good third of 10 in handicap at this C&D last week. Placed over C&D last Thursday but strike-rate remains poor.
6th
7
6th (7) (16/1 +11%) Vintage Fashion
16
16/1(+11%)
(7) Vintage Fashion 16/1, 25/1, first run since leaving Denis Quinn when fourth of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Entitled to strip fitter for that and could have a say. Still a maiden but ran encouragingly at Lingfield last week on debut for new yard.
7th
3
7th (3) (9/2 +0%) Last Date
4.5
9/2(+0%)
(3) Last Date 9/2, C&D winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021 but posted another good effort when fourth of 8 in handicap at this C&D 19 days ago. Should remain competitive. Losing run is mounting up but he remains on a workable mark; suited by Chelmsford.
8th
5
8th (5) (80/1 -100%) Shorts On
80
80/1(-100%)
(5) Shorts On 80/1, Latest win at Yarmouth in June but capitulated very tamely over C&D last week. Won at Yarmouth in June; hasn't matched that form since.
9th
10
9th (10) (150/1 -127%) Ritarocks
150
150/1(-127%)
(10) Ritarocks 150/1, Little show in varied events, including in handicaps. Has little worthwhile form.
10th
4
10th (4) (125/1 -89%) Withy Rock
125
125/1(-89%)
(4) Withy Rock 125/1, Has yet to better poor form and ran below her best in a seller here last week. Sole placed effort came in seller; weak claims.
LTO Selection:
18:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
Poetic Jack put in a solid effort to hit the frame over C&D last month and he has to be respected off the same mark. However, preference is for BRAZEN ARROW, who was far from disgraced in third over C&D last week and is now competing off a 1lb lower rating. The five-year-old looks ready to strike, while Little Red Dancer was third in a bunched finish at Newcastle recently and is another to note.
INTOXICATA is improving quickly and is taken to make it 3 wins from her last 4 outings. Poetic Jack is still lightly raced enough to think he may have an even bigger effort in his locker, while Last Date is going through a good spell at the moment and ought to remain competitive.
In-form INTOXICATA holds particularly strong claims back over 7f turned out quickly. Poetic Jack is second choice.
(2) Adace 3/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Windsor in August. Creditable third of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, 5/1) 14 days ago. Merits consideration. Close third over 1m here last time; likely player if coping with drop back in trip.
2
3
2nd (3) (7/2 -5%) Pontius
3.5
7/2(-5%)
(3) Pontius 7/2, Respectable third of 11 in handicap (5/2) at this C&D when last seen 15 months ago. Claims if fit enough do himself justice, but chances are he will come on for the run. Maiden; absent since his creditable third over C&D in August 2022; market helpful.
3
9
3rd (9) (16/1 +20%) College Wizard
16
16/1(+20%)
(9) College Wizard 16/1, 80/1 and blinkered for 1st time, good fourth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 10 days ago, slowly away. That represented a step back in the right direction. Appeared to run well at Wolverhampton last week but isn't sure to back up that form.
4
7
4th (7) (7/1 +13%) Safe Passage
7
7/1(+13%)
(7) Safe Passage 7/1, Fourth of 9 in handicap at this course (8f, 25/1) 12 days ago. No more than an each-way squeak. Maiden; signs of retaining ability here this month; well treated on peak effort.
5th
8
5th (8) (15/2 +17%) Fast Flo
7.5
15/2(+17%)
(8) Fast Flo 15/2, Remains a maiden after 21 Flat runs. Good fourth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (10/1) 7 days ago. Place possibilities. In-form maiden who made the frame in C&D contests the last twice; now 0-21.
6th
4
6th (4) (7/2 -40%) Outreach
3.5
7/2(-40%)
(4) Outreach 7/2, Good second of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 10/3) 23 days ago, never nearer. Expected to be bang there. Nearly opened his account in 7f event at Wolverhampton last month; possibilities.
7th
1
7th (1) (12/1 -9%) Indie Skies
12
12/1(-9%)
(1) Indie Skies 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 14/1, creditable fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f) 19 days ago. Others make more appeal from a win perspective. Encouraging handicap debut here (6f) last month; out of a 7f winner; interesting.
8th
6
8th (6) (50/1 -52%) Kangaroo
50
50/1(-52%)
(6) Kangaroo 50/1, 10/1 and visored for 1st time/tongue strap on for 1st time, ninth of 12 in handicap at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago. Readily passed over. Poor chance on his handicap form.
9th
5
9th (5) (14/1 +58%) Macho Mania
14
14/1(+58%)
(5) Macho Mania 14/1, 22/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 3 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and this 14-race maiden looks vulnerable. Inconsistent maiden; unappealing.
10th
10
10th (10) (100/1 -52%) Craggy Range
100
100/1(-52%)
(10) Craggy Range 100/1, Visored for 1st time, first run since leaving Ed Walker when ninth of 11 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f, 33/1). Off 94 days and back down in trip. Easy enough to look elsewhere. Holds weak claims on form; second start for new yard.
LTO Selection:
19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
This looks like an open contest, so marginal preference is for ADACE, who finished a close-up third over a mile here earlier in the month and she has been left on the same mark. The daughter of Adaay ought to go very close. Pontius failed to justify favouritism over C&D in August, but still put in a pleasing display to hit the frame and has to be considered. Outreach and Safe Passage are others to watch out for.
OUTREACH posted his best effort yet when going close at Wolverhampton last month and is taken to open his account off an unchanged mark. Next on the list is Adace, who was beaten less than a length into third over a mile here last time and shouldn't be inconvenienced by this drop back in trip. College Wizard and Fast Flo both make some each-way appeal, while Pontius would be a serious threat if resuming from a 15-month absence in top form.
Having gone close to winning his latest race, OUTREACH may be ready to strike. Indie Skies is feared most.
(7) Impeach 11/1, Nineteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable third of 7 in claimer (18/1) at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago. Operating below best at present. On career-low mark and better signs when third in 6f claimer latest; not discounted.

2nd (6) (22/1 -38%) Kessaar Power
22
22/1(-38%)
(6) Kessaar Power 22/1, C&D winner. 66/1, last of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, soft) 13 days ago. Visor back on. Others more persuasive. Won twice for different yard earlier in year but patchy form since and others more likely.

3rd (2) (11/4 +50%) Tyger Bay
2.75
11/4(+50%)
(2) Tyger Bay 11/4, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Below form third of 10 in handicap at Kempton (6f, 9/1) 29 days ago. Not one to write off. On a dangerous mark but needs to step up on recent efforts (well-held third latest).
4

4th (4) (25/1 -56%) Em Jay Kay
25
25/1(-56%)
(4) Em Jay Kay 25/1, Ninth of 10 in handicap (18/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Others make more appeal. Two AW wins last winter but well held on recent return from break.
5th

5th (9) (6/4 +14%) Maxzeno
1.5
6/4(+14%)
(9) Maxzeno 6/4, 11/2, respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Newmarket (5f, soft) 13 days ago, left poorly placed. Has slipped to a good mark and looked back in top form last time, so worth taking a chance on. Promising fourth over 5f on turf latest; runner-up both AW starts; major player.
6th
5
6th (5) (9/2 +47%) Belle Fourche
4.5
9/2(+47%)
(5) Belle Fourche 9/2, 3/1, sixth of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 21 days ago, meeting trouble. In top form prior to latest outing and should be right back on her game. Back to form when placed twice last month (including C&D) and excuses latest; respected.
7th
11
7th (11) (16/1 +20%) Porfin
16
16/1(+20%)
(11) Porfin 16/1, Latest win at Newmarket in August. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Newmarket (6f, good, 7/1) 90 days ago, hampered. Type to bounce back quickly. Plenty of good runs on turf this summer but off since lesser run in August; might need it.
8th
10
8th (10) (50/1 -100%) Mellys Flyer
50
50/1(-100%)
(10) Mellys Flyer 50/1, Sixth of 10 in handicap (22/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Has a bit to prove at present. Five wins for George Scott but hasn't threatened in three runs for this yard.
9th
3
9th (3) (40/1 -100%) Midnightattheoasis
40
40/1(-100%)
(3) Midnightattheoasis 40/1, Lightly-raced winner. 3¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Kessaar Power in handicap at this C&D (5/1). Off 8 months. First run for yard after leaving Charles Hills (has also been gelded). Worth a market check. Won AW maiden in January but off eight months ahead of this first run for new yard.
10th

10th (1) (20/1 -43%) Inanna
20
20/1(-43%)
(1) Inanna 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Last of 6 in handicap at this course (7f, 12/1) 9 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others make more appeal. 0-14 since debut win and below par since 6f turf second in September; tongue-tie goes on.
11th
8
11th (8) (28/1 -27%) Afterlife
28
28/1(-27%)
(8) Afterlife 28/1, Hooded for 1st time, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at this course (7f, 50/1) 14 days ago, not clear run. Shouldn't be written off just yet. Has struggled in sprint handicaps this year but slightly better signs for new yard lately.
LTO Selection:
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
In an open event, a chance can be taken on TYGER BAY. Conrad Allen's charge, who is now 8lb below his last winning mark, was not disgraced in a sprint series qualifier at Kempton last month and must hold solid claims on that form. The unexposed Maxzeno, who is distantly related to smart sprinter Danzeno, ought to prove better than his current mark and must enter calculations. Others to note include Habooba and Impeach.
MAXZENO is leniently treated and shaped well from a poor position at Newmarket 13 days ago, so he's worth chancing having his first go on polytrack (good efforts both outings on tapeta). Belle Fourche is very much of interest on the back of an excusable run and Tyger Bay isn't without hope dropping in grade.
The vote goes the way of MAXZENO who shaped quite well when fourth over 5f at Newmarket recently and is another 2lb lower here.
(6) Darlo Pride 4/1, Course winner (6f) in September who arrives on back of creditable second of 8 in handicap at Lingfield (6f, AW) 9 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Shortlisted. Won over 6f here in September; went close again last week; visor on, blinkers off; player.
2
7
2nd (7) (12/1 -118%) Q Twenty Boy
12
12/1(-118%)
(7) Q Twenty Boy 12/1, Course winner (6f) in September. Creditable second of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, 10/3) 35 days ago. Can race off same mark and must enter calculations. Won and second over 6f here last twice; just as good at 5f; should go well.
3

3rd (1) (10/3 +39%) Cabeza De Llave
3.333333
10/3(+39%)
(1) Cabeza De Llave 10/3, C&D winner. Seventh of 10 in handicap (7/1) at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 26 days ago. Others preferred. Hasn't threatened lately but did spring a 50-1 surprise over C&D last November.
4
5
4th (5) (3/1 +25%) Lion Ring
3
3/1(+25%)
(5) Lion Ring 3/1, Belatedly off the mark over C&D last month and backed that up with good third at Lingfield (5f) 11 days ago. Should give another good account. Off mark at 35th attempt when scoring over C&D last month; third since; thereabouts again.
5th
8
5th (8) (6/1 +8%) Universal Grace
6
6/1(+8%)
(8) Universal Grace 6/1, C&D winner. Winner here in September. Bit below form fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at this C&D 14 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter. Form of C&D win in September boosted but hasn't reproduced it in two runs since.
6th
10
6th (10) (20/1 +20%) Battle Point
20
20/1(+20%)
(10) Battle Point 20/1, One win from 22 Flat runs. 25/1, creditable 2 lengths sixth of 11 to Lion Ring in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Others look better treated. 1 lb out of the weights. Made all at Lingfield (AW) in April but hasn't built on it since.
7th
4
7th (4) (20/1 -43%) Triple Jaye
20
20/1(-43%)
(4) Triple Jaye 20/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. First run since leaving Tim Easterby when fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (22/1) 6 days ago. Others more appealing. Fair first run for new yard last week but mark due to be 2lb lower from Saturday..
8th
11
8th (11) (18/1 +28%) Miss Marianne
18
18/1(+28%)
(11) Miss Marianne 18/1, 40/1, 2¼ lengths eighth of 11 to Lion Ring in handicap at this C&D 28 days ago. Still looking for first success. 1 lb out of the weights. Not fully exposed and might have needed latest outing after a six month break.
9th
3
9th (3) (28/1 -40%) Due Date
28
28/1(-40%)
(3) Due Date 28/1, Visored for 1st time tongue strap on for 1st time, last of 6 in handicap at this C&D (40/1) 19 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Out the back in three runs for new yard last month; can only watch at present.
10th
2
10th (2) (9/1 -50%) Sparked
9
9/1(-50%)
(2) Sparked 9/1, Back to winning ways at Bath (5.1f) in September and only narrowly failed to add to that success in Lingfield handicap (6f, AW) 20 days ago. 2 lb higher now but looks sure to go well again. Close second over 6f on AW latest and has done her winning at 5f; player.
LTO Selection:
20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.
The vote goes to DARLO PRIDE, who has been a model of consistency in recent starts. The son of Outstrip, a course winner on his penultimate outing, is able to compete off an unchanged mark having hit the woodwork at Lingfield last time, and the first-time visor could bring about further improvement. Q Twenty Boy and Lion Ring also arrive in good form and are taken seriously.
Plenty with claims here including DARLO PRIDE, who has upped his game in recent starts and remains on a workable mark. He gets the nod. Sparked and Lion Ring rate the principal dangers.
Solid DARLO PRIDE (nap) hasn't finished out of the first two in his last four runs and may well be able to get his head back in front.
(7) Stintino Sunset 16/1, Winner at Leicester in August. 9/2, good third of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft) 31 days ago, running on. Can make presence felt. In good form on turf lately but hasn't finished in first three in nine AW starts.
2
13
2nd (13) (33/1 +18%) Private Bryan
33
33/1(+18%)
(13) Private Bryan 33/1, 50/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D 6 days ago, slowly away. Readily opposed. 1 lb out of the weights. About 8l behind Silver Bubble over C&D last week and has generally struggled in handicaps.
3
1
3rd (1) (13/8 +7%) Cryptos Dream
1.625
13/8(+7%)
(1) Cryptos Dream 13/8, Resumed progress for current yard in recent starts, scoring at Brighton (9.9f) before taking 6-runner handicap at this course (8f) last week. 5 lb penalty to carry now but looks the one to beat nonetheless. Made it 3-5 for this yard over 1m here last week; just as good at 1m2f; much respected.
4
11
4th (11) (7/1 +7%) Silver Bubble
7
7/1(+7%)
(11) Silver Bubble 7/1, Tumbled down the weights and returned to form when close second of 10 in handicap over C&D 6 days ago, slowly away. Can race off same mark and is one for shortlist. All wins on turf but went very close over C&D last week; drawn wide but still a big player.
5th
3
5th (3) (5/2 +88%) The Conqueror
2.5
5/2(+88%)
(3) The Conqueror 5/2, Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 66/1, last of 11 in handicap at Nottingham (10.2f, heavy) 51 days ago, weakening quickly. Hard to recommend. Three wins in Germany but yet to place in Britain; gelded since last seen seven weeks ago.
6th
10
6th (10) (22/1 -10%) Duveen
22
22/1(-10%)
(10) Duveen 22/1, Creditable second of 5 in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm, 11/2). Off 154 days. Needs a couple of these to falter. 0-9 and beaten just under 5l when second in June on latest outing.
7th
5
7th (5) (16/1 -78%) Iftikhaar
16
16/1(-78%)
(5) Iftikhaar 16/1, Good second of 11 in handicap (12/1) at Lingfield (10f, AW) 42 days ago, just failing. Claims if building on that. First promise for this yard when second at Lingfield (1m2f) latest; draw could be tricky.
8th
2
8th (2) (7/1 -56%) Egoiste
7
7/1(-56%)
(2) Egoiste 7/1, Belatedly off the mark when taking 11-runner handicap over C&D 56 days ago. Just 2 lb higher now and not taken lightly. Form of breakthrough C&D win has taken a few knocks but he did it quite tidily.
9th
6
9th (6) (9/1 -64%) Bletchley Storm
9
9/1(-64%)
(6) Bletchley Storm 9/1, Fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (8f, 3/1) 14 days ago, nearest finish. Back up in trip. Others preferred. Second off higher marks in the spring but last three efforts were no more than respectable.
10th
4
10th (4) (80/1 -60%) Seattle King
80
80/1(-60%)
(4) Seattle King 80/1, Latest win at Brighton in May. 66/1, tenth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (12.1f) 37 days ago. Up against it. Two turf wins in spring but out the back in three AW wins this autumn.
11th
8
11th (8) (40/1 -100%) Metric
40
40/1(-100%)
(8) Metric 40/1, Winner at Leicester in August. Seventh of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago, met some trouble. Makes polytrack debut. Others more persuasive. Came good at Leicester (1m2f) in August but has struggled since.
12th
16
12th (16) (50/1 +0%) Andarax
50
50/1(+0%)
(16) Andarax 50/1, 22/1, last of 12 in handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 15 days ago. Blinkers on 1st time. Very hard to make a case for. 1 lb out of the weights. Pulled hard when last of 12 over this trip latest; blinkers need to make a big difference.
13th
14
13th (14) (66/1 -100%) Blondelle
66
66/1(-100%)
(14) Blondelle 66/1, Below form sixth of 13 in handicap at Yarmouth (10.1f, soft, 22/1) 31 days ago. Can give a good account without posing serious threat to principals. Yet to get seriously competitive in her six starts.
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.
CRYPTOS DREAM has been in excellent form since coming over from Ireland in August, winning three of her last four starts. Jack Jones' filly has a 5lb penalty to contend with, but that might not be enough to stop her. Egoiste could mount another stern challenge, having struck over C&D in September, though a wide draw is far from ideal. Stintino Sunset, Duveen and Silver Bubble are just a few others to take into consideration.
CRYPTOS DREAM has done really well for her new yard and proved better than ever when winning here last week. She may be able to score again. Silver Bubble and Egoiste head the list of dangers.
Silver Bubble has a strong form chance but her draw could be awkward so she's taken on with the thriving CRYPTOS DREAM.

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.
