The data in the racecards below is for the past year. View the racecard key.
(8) Ville Natale 7/1, Foaled February 15. Nathaniel filly. Dam unraced half-sister to very smart 1¼m-1½m winner Zambezi Sun. Makes plenty of appeal on paper. Wears hood. Good stable has won similar races lately so market confidence could prove significant.

(2) (9/4 +32%) Hutchence
2.25
9/4(+32%)
(2) Hutchence 9/4, 310,000 gns yearling, Frankel colt. Half-brother to 3 winners, including smart winner up to 1¼m Best of Days and 2-y-o 1m winner Lenormand. Dam 1m-11f winner. Green when seventh of 10 in novice (9/4) at Newmarket (7f, soft) on debut 41 days ago. Should have more to offer. Only seventh on his 7f Newmarket debut but went off favourite so evidently well regarded.

(5) (11/2 +15%) Space Legend

11/2(+15%)
(5) Space Legend 11/2, Foaled March 23. €270,000 foal, 150,000 gns yearling, Sea The Stars colt. Brother to winner abroad. Dam unraced. One to note on debut. Newcomer from a top stable and a market move would bring him into the reckoning.

(1) (11/10 -33%) Bold Style
1.1
11/10(-33%)
(1) Bold Style 11/10, Shamardal colt. Dam unraced half-sister to smart winner up to 1½m Just Fine. Second of 11 in novice (11/8) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 19 days ago. Likely to improve. Form pick. Promising second on Wolverhampton debut 19 days ago; can go one better now.

(4) (14/1 -56%) Rakki

14/1(-56%)
(4) Rakki 14/1, Twice-raced maiden. Better effort when fifth of 9 in maiden at Kempton (8f, 66/1) 38 days ago, nearest finish. Open to further improvement. Well bred; promise in two runs at Kempton, particularly last time; definitely more to come.

(7) (50/1 -150%) Mimasusa
50
50/1(-150%)
(7) Mimasusa 50/1, Foaled April 13. €33,000 foal, €40,000 yearling, Australia filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful 11f-1¾m winner Arrange and winner up to 1m Alfa McGuire. Dam unraced half-sister to smart US Grade 1 9.5f winner Watsdachances. Half-sister to four winners and needs checking out in the betting on debut.

150/1(-127%)
(3) Judgementofsolomon 150/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 9 days ago, merely passing beaten rivals. Has hinted at ability but unlikely to be of interest until handicapping over further.

(6) (200/1 -150%) Lady Birdie
200
200/1(-150%)
(6) Lady Birdie 200/1, 30,000 gns yearling, Gleneagles filly. Dam, 1¼m winner, half-sister to useful winner up to 1¼m (stayed 1½m) Drochaid. Tongue strap on, ninth of 12 in novice at Wolverhampton (8.6f, 33/1) on debut 27 days ago. From a leading yard but 33-1 and well held on Wolverhampton debut four weeks ago.
LTO Selection:
17:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
BOLD STYLE hit the woodwork on his racecourse debut and natural progression might be enough to see Charlie Appleby's colt come home in front. Hutchence attracted market support at Newmarket last month but was perhaps unsuited by the testing conditions. The son of Frankel could well fare better here, while Space Legend, Mimasusa and Ville Natale are all interesting newcomers.
BOLD STYLE ran to a fairly useful level despite an unfavourable draw and greenness when second at Wolverhampton on debut and looks the one to beat. Hutchence had little go right at Newmarket and can be expected to do much better, while Ville Natale and Space Legend are a couple of newcomers to note.
The vote goes the way of Godolphin's BOLD STYLE on the back of his promising debut second at Wolverhampton.
(4) Sun God 6/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fifth of 7 in minor event at Lingfield (7f, AW, 33/1) 37 days ago. Makes handicap debut from fair-looking mark but this is a hot contest. Flashed tail latest but has shown ability and useful pedigree provides hope for better.

1
(1) (9/4 -20%) Alfred
2.25
9/4(-20%)
(1) Alfred 9/4, Three wins from 10 runs this year. Made successful yard debut at Newcastle before improving to follow up in 9-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 21 days ago, easily. Still low mileage for this yard and there's even better to come. Another turned around by George Boughey; 9lb rise won't prevent bold bid for AW hat-trick.
2
2
(2) (10/11 +44%) Habrdi
0.909091
10/11(+44%)
(2) Habrdi 10/11, Off mark in Brighton noivce event befoe producing career best in 7-runner nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago by 4 lengths from Gaiden, impressively. Makes polytrack debut. Should give a bold bid in search of hat-trick. Improving fast for Jane Chapple-Hyam, winning easily on 7f AW debut latest; more to come.

(3) (10/1 -67%) Gaiden
10
10/1(-67%)
(3) Gaiden 10/1, Creditable 4 lengths second of 7 to Habrdi in nursery at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 21 days ago, conceding first run. Makes polytrack debut. Respected. Back to form when 4l second to Gaiden latest but even 8lb swing may not be enough.
5

(5) (22/1 -389%) Monks Mead
22
22/1(-389%)
(5) Monks Mead 22/1, Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at this C&D (5/1) 37 days ago. Likeable type but will need to improve further to follow up from out of the weights. Second win when seeing off eight rivals over C&D latest but this is a much better race.
LTO Selection:
18:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
A lofty weight proved to be no problem for ALFRED when taking his record on the all-weather to 2-3 at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and a subsequent 9lb hike might not be enough to stop George Boughey's progressive gelding. Habrdi (winner) is now 8lb worse off with Gaiden (second) for their recent clash, but the son of Calyx is expected to confirm that form. Handicap debutant Sun God is no back number, nor is C&D winner Monks Mead.
A really interesting nursery despite the small-field, with ALFRED fancied to complete the hat-trick at the chief expense of the similarly-thriving Habrdi, the pair both impressive winners on their previous outings. Gaiden did well under the circumstances when runner-up at Wolverhampton last time and makes most appeal of the remainder in a contest where all 5 hold claims.
An interesting clash between fast-improving pair ALFRED and Habrdi, with narrow preference for the former.
(4) Lord Normandy 4/1, Once-raced maiden. 3/1, third of 6 in minor event at this course (8f) on debut 61 days ago. Longer should suit and he's liekly to improve. Third over 1m here on debut; gelded since; needs more but that's quite possible up in trip.
10
10
(10) (7/2 -56%) Prometeo
3.5
7/2(-56%)
(10) Prometeo 7/2, Thrice-raced maiden. 4/5, second of 7 in maiden at Brighton (8f, good) 65 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Up in trip. Cheekpieces on 1st time. Likely to be thereabouts. Placed in 3 runs (1m-1m1f) between August & October; sound form claims; headgear now added.
12
12
(12) (9/1 +36%) Calm Waters
9
9/1(+36%)
(12) Calm Waters 9/1, Twice-raced maiden. 20/1, seventh of 11 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 23 days ago, slowly away. Modest form in 2 fillies' events over shorter; trip should suit but improvement is needed.
5

(5) (10/1 +0%) My Dream World
10
10/1(+0%)
(5) My Dream World 10/1, Foaled February 16. 33,000 gns yearling, Postponed colt. Brother to 1¼m-1½m winner My Chiquita and half-brother to several winners, including winner up to 1½m Kingbrook. Dam 11f winner who stayed 14.6f. Interesting newcomer. 33,000gns yearling; bred to be useful and yard has had a 2yo win on debut; check betting.

(3) (10/3 +17%) King's School
3.333333
10/3(+17%)
(3) King's School 10/3, Promising sort. 13/2, fifth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (8f) 36 days ago. Up in trip. Remains with potential and can't be ruled out. Encouragement in two 1m runs this autumn; new trip can help and he has more to offer.
1
1
(1) (11/1 +67%) Burlington House
11
11/1(+67%)
(1) Burlington House 11/1, Twice-raced maiden. Sixth of 11 in minor event at Kempton (8f, 150/1) 78 days ago, not knocked about. Up in trip. Some promise in two 1m novices at Kempton in September; new trip should suit on paper.
6

(6) (12/1 +40%) Ronnie Raven
12
12/1(+40%)
(6) Ronnie Raven 12/1, Once-raced maiden. 28/1, seventh of 12 in maiden at Lingfield (10f, AW) on debut 26 days ago, not knocked about. Green and tapped for speed on his Lingfield debut last month (1m2f); can do better.
2
2
(2) (13/2 -44%) Claxton Bay
6.5
13/2(-44%)
(2) Claxton Bay 13/2, Lightly-raced maiden. Respectable sixth of 12 in nursery at Lingfield (7f, AW, 9/2) 8 days ago. Stamina isn't guaranteed up markedly in trip. Helps set the standard and has the ability to win races but today's trip a question mark.
8
8
(8) (28/1 -12%) Smooth Transition
28
28/1(-12%)
(8) Smooth Transition 28/1, Once-raced maiden. 22/1, last of 4 in minor event at Newcastle (7.1f) on debut 5 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Hard to make a case for. This weaker than Saturday's debut (7f) but 1m2f is a query on paper.
11
11
(11) (40/1 -186%) Super Silv
40
40/1(-186%)
(11) Super Silv 40/1, Foaled April 18. €7,000 foal, €14,000 yearling, James Garfield colt. Brother/half-brother to 2 winners abroad. Dam unraced. 14,000euros relative to two winners in Europe; 1m2f a query on paper; betting to guide.
13
13
(13) (66/1 -100%) Sun Dancer Girl
66
66/1(-100%)
(13) Sun Dancer Girl 66/1, Once-raced maiden. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in maiden at Kempton (8f) on debut 36 days ago. Up in trip. 33-1, slowly away and green throughout on Kempton debut (1m); likely big improver.
14
14
(14) (150/1 -355%) Post Mistress
150
150/1(-355%)
(14) Post Mistress 150/1, Once-raced maiden. 50/1, tenth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (8.6f) on debut 27 days ago, slowly away. From a good family but last month's debut effort wasn't full of short-term promise.
9

(9) (200/1 -506%) Delayed Charm
200
200/1(-506%)
(9) Delayed Charm 200/1, Foaled March 12. 3,000 gns yearling, Postponed colt. Half-brother to 2-y-o 7f winner Smooth Talking. Dam, maiden (best effort at 8.5f), out of half-sister to Dubai World Cup winner Moon Ballad. 3,000gns half-brother to a minor 7f winner; yard not associated with 2yo winners.

(7) (250/1 -150%) Rubio De Oro
250
250/1(-150%)
(7) Rubio De Oro 250/1, Twice-raced maiden. 100/1, tenth of 11 in maiden at Lingfield (8f, AW) 9 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Out the back in two 1m maidens in recent weeks; not easily recommended despite new trip.
LTO Selection:
18:30 Chelmsford Stakes (Class 4) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
LORD NORMANDY shaped with promise over 1m here on his racecourse bow. The son of Le Havre ought to appreciate a step up in trip and, from his low draw, might be worth siding with. Claxton Bay has been running with credit in handicap company of late and he merits consideration, along with the consistent Prometeo, who could improve for the application of first-time cheekpieces.
LORD NORMANDY offered encouragement first time out and this doesn't look a particularly strong event, so he takes marginal preference over Prometeo, who has achieved a bit more to this point. King's School is also considered.
Sun Dancer Girl rates a likely big improver but KING'S SCHOOL can step up on his two promising runs now upped in trip.
(1) Storm Catcher 2/1, 3-time C&D winner. Six wins from 18 Flat runs. 4 wins from 10 runs this year. 3/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Lingfield (10f, AW) 26 days ago. Rarely runs a bad race on AW and merits plenty of respect. Fine record in AW h'caps & fully effective over C&D; major player despite career-high mark.
5
5
(5) (5/6 +25%) Penzance
0.833333
5/6(+25%)
(5) Penzance 5/6, 5/1, career best when winning 11-runner handicap at this C&D 7 days ago, impressively. Well capable of defying a penalty if the race doesn't come too soon. Bolted up over C&D last week on 2nd run for yard; well in under penalty but this tougher.
2
2
(2) (12/1 -33%) Polling Day
12
12/1(-33%)
(2) Polling Day 12/1, Thrice-raced winner. First run since leaving John & Thady Gosden when fourth of 12 in minor event at Lingfield (10f, AW, 5/1) 26 days ago. Makes handicap debut. More required. Promise after mammoth layoff last month; opening mark not an obvious gift though.

(4) (17/2 +0%) Sayf Al Dawla
8.5
17/2(+0%)
(4) Sayf Al Dawla 17/2, 1 win from 3 runs this year. Latest win at Sandown in July. Twenty sixth of 34 in handicap (80/1) at Newmarket (9f, good to firm) 75 days ago, very slowly away. Tricky sort but could get back on track returned to calmer waters. Won on return from long absence in July (1m2f, soft); less good since but not ruled out.
3

(3) (22/1 -100%) Postmark
22
22/1(-100%)
(3) Postmark 22/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 6 in handicap hurdle (9/2) at Huntingdon (15.8f, good) 58 days ago. First run for yard after leaving Milton Harris. Not in top form when last seen on the Flat. Handicapper on top this summer; fair 2nd over hurdles latest; others appeal more.
6

(6) (80/1 -567%) Three Yorkshiremen
80
80/1(-567%)
(6) Three Yorkshiremen 80/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time in this code, first run since leaving Richard Fahey when second of 5 in juvenile hurdle (2/1) at Musselburgh (15.6f, soft) on NH debut 14 days ago. Difficult ask. 1m novice winner for R Fahey; 2nd on hurdle/stable debut latest; others look stronger.
LTO Selection:
19:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
Turned out again quickly after an impressive success over C&D last week, PENZANCE should be able to handle a 6lb penalty as he looks to follow up on just his third start for new connections. Storm Catcher has been in fine form of late and he can give the selection most to think about, while Polling Day may improve on his most recent effort at Lingfield.
PENZANCE opened his account for Mick Appleby in taking fashion over C&D a week ago and, if he handles the quick turnaround, he should be able to follow up. Storm Catcher is the obvious danger on the back of a career-best effort and Polling Day can't be ruled out on just his second outing for Archie Watson.
Penzance will be popular after last week's easy C&D win but the progressive STORM CATCHER (nap) could have his measure tonight.
(9) Mr Trick 3/1, Arrives in very good nick, just failing when second of 12 in handicap at Wolverhampton (9.5f) 4 days ago. Has to be taken seriously off an unchanged mark. Close second at Lingfield and Wolverhampton in recent days; should go well again.
4

(4) (7/2 +22%) Cavalluccio
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(4) Cavalluccio 7/2, 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Respectable sixth of 14 in handicap (7/1) at this C&D 7 days ago, slowly away. Blinkers on 1st time. Can give a good account. Won over C&D last month; fair sixth back here last week; blinkered first time.
5

(5) (9/2 +55%) Clipsham Gold
4.5
9/2(+55%)
(5) Clipsham Gold 9/2, 16/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at this C&D 3 days ago, left poorly placed. One for the shortlist. Shaped as if still in form when fourth over C&D on Monday but yet to prove she stays 1m2f.
2
2
(2) (9/1 -80%) Nikki's Girl
9
9/1(-80%)
(2) Nikki's Girl 9/1, Course winner. Latest win at Wolverhampton in August. 7/1, fair fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 19 days ago, slowly away. Up in trip. Cheekpieces back on. Not discounted. 2lb above the mark she defied at Wolver in August; fair fourth latest; cheekpieces back on.

(3) (11/2 +21%) Coolree
5.5
11/2(+21%)
(3) Coolree 11/2, Winner at Killarney in July. 5/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Leopardstown (7.1f, heavy) 53 days ago. Significantly up in trip. First run for yard after leaving Miss Jennifer Anne Lynch with more needed. Fair form at up to 1m in Ireland; one to note in betting on first run for new yard.

1
(1) (11/2 -57%) Headingley
5.5
11/2(-57%)
(1) Headingley 11/2, Course winner. Sixteen runs since last win in 2021. 3/1, fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (8f) 34 days ago, very slowly away. Up in trip. Not taken lightly if shrugging off latest effort. Hard to be confident about but he is a potential class act in this 0-70 grade.
8

(8) (25/1 -56%) Grigio
25
25/1(-56%)
(8) Grigio 25/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Thirteenth of 14 in handicap (28/1) at Kempton (8f) 24 days ago. Up in trip. Has work to do. Unexposed but well beaten on recent Kempton handicap debut.

33/1(+0%)
(6) Nasim 33/1, Course winner. First run since leaving Michael Appleby when tenth of 13 in handicap at Kempton (8f, 80/1) 64 days ago. Back up in trip with work to do. Second over 1m here in August (final start for Mick Appleby) but well held on yard debut.
7

(7) (50/1 -614%) Bubblecraft
50
50/1(-614%)
(7) Bubblecraft 50/1, First run since leaving J. Reynier when pulled up in juvenile hurdle (15/2) at Leicester (15.5f, heavy) on NH debut 24 days ago. Makes handicap debut. Others appeal more. Won claimer on Flat in France in July but pulled up in hurdle on first run for this yard.
LTO Selection:
19:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
Narrowly denied on his last two starts, MR TRICK deserves a change in luck and he can get that on this occasion. The five-year-old has dropped 4lb below his last winning mark and he gets the vote ahead of the likes of Headingley and Cavalluccio, who was a determined winner over C&D on his penultimate outing. Coolree and Nikki's Girl are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
A few with chances but MR TRICK is knocking on the door and can race off the same mark as when a close Wolverhampton second last time out so edges the vote. Cavalluccio is already a three-time scorer this term and can have a say along with Clipsham Gold, who didn't enjoy the rub of the greeen when a recent fourth over C&D.
While it's hard to be certain quite how much ability HEADINGLEY retains, he is a potential class act in a 0-70.
(5) Desert Order 5/2, Lightly-raced winner. Career best when winning 9-runner nursery at Newmarket (7f, good, 11/10). Off 14 months ahead of his polytrack debut but remains open to improvement. Ended 2yo campaign with two 7f wins; still unexposed; absence to defy but of some interest.

(4) (7/1 +42%) Excel Power
7
7/1(+42%)
(4) Excel Power 7/1, C&D winner. 18/1, respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Kempton (8f) 24 days ago. Shortlisted. Won this race last year off the same mark; comes here in fair form but needs more tonight.
7
7
(7) (7/2 +22%) Fantastic Fox
3.5
7/2(+22%)
(7) Fantastic Fox 7/2, C&D winner. 5/1, won 12-runner handicap at Newcastle (8f) 29 days ago, Up 4 lb but had something to spare there so he rates a big player in his hat-trick bid. Chasing a 1m AW hat-trick but he's back up in class and could come up short.
6
6
(6) (9/2 +44%) Lord Bertie
4.5
9/2(+44%)
(6) Lord Bertie 9/2, Lightly-raced winner. 1 win from 3 runs this year. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at Yarmouth (9.1f, good to soft) 85 days ago. First run for yard after leaving William Haggas. Not ruled out. Two wins in novice/maiden company; excuses for 2 h'cap defeats; new yard; still unexposed.

(2) (11/2 +35%) Helm Rock
5.5
11/2(+35%)
(2) Helm Rock 11/2, Latest win at Kempton in September. 40/1, below form eleventh of 20 in handicap at Ascot (8f, soft) 54 days ago so needs to bounce back. Last two AW runs have yielded victories; return to Polytrack a plus; solid contender.
1

(1) (12/1 -167%) Tacarib Bay
12
12/1(-167%)
(1) Tacarib Bay 12/1, Career best when winning 9-runner listed race at Newcastle (6f, 8/1) 33 days ago by ¾ length from Sense of Duty, driven out. Significantly back up in trip. Needs considering. 6f Listed winner last month; effective at 1m but needs a career best to defy this mark.

(3) (14/1 +13%) Diderot
14
14/1(+13%)
(3) Diderot 14/1, C&D winner. Ninth of 10 in handicap (8/1) at this course (10f). Off 6 months. Others have achieved more. C&D winner; fair mark judged on 2023 best but absent since a poor run here in June.

(8) (22/1 -38%) Batemans Bay
22
22/1(-38%)
(8) Batemans Bay 22/1, Ninth of 14 in handicap at Kempton (12f, 8/1) 29 days ago. Significantly down in trip. Has work to do. Returns to 1m with something to prove but he is at least edging down the handicap.
LTO Selection:
20:00 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.
FANTASTIC FOX made the most of a handy mark to notch a brace of wins on his last two starts and is hard to resist in his bid to complete the hat-tirck, despite going up 4lb after his latest success. Desert Order is noteworthy with his attempt to complete the same feat after wins at York and Newmarket. Gelded since, he commands respect on his all-weather debut, while Tacarib Bay completes the shortlist.
FANTASTIC FOX ran out a ready scorer at Newcastle last time and can also boast a C&D success so Roger Varian's 5-y-o looks the way to go in his hat-trick attempt. In-form Rhythm N Rock rates the main danger off a handy-looking mark, with Newcastle-victor Tacarib Bay and the returning Desert Order others who need factoring into an open handicap.
3yos Lord Bertie and DESERT ORDER can dominate proceedings with the latter taken to defy a long absence and fulfil his 2yo promise.
(7) Tradesman 5/1, 4-time course winner. 9/4, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at this course (16f) 23 days ago, quickening to lead approaching last ½f, readily. Further progress not ruled out. Successful on last four visits here; plenty in hand latest and another bold bid on cards.

(3) (10/1 +9%) Animato
10
10/1(+9%)
(3) Animato 10/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2022. 12/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, creditable second of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (16.2f) 27 days ago, running on. Remains low-mileage on AW and operating from a handy mark. AW debut when second over 2m at Newcastle last month; can't be discounted.
6

(6) (11/8 +31%) Kyle Of Lochalsh
1.375
11/8(+31%)
(6) Kyle Of Lochalsh 11/8, 2 wins from 6 runs this year. Career best when winning 5-runner handicap (4/1) at this C&D 33 days ago, overcoming pace bias. Has to be taken seriously. Quickened up nicely to win here last month; this 3yo looks capable of even better.

(9) (11/2 -10%) Queensland Boy
5.5
11/2(-10%)
(9) Queensland Boy 11/2, Winner at Windsor (11.5f) in August. Creditable second of 8 in handicap (9/4) at Lingfield (12f, AW) 8 days ago, running on. Remains unexposed at this sort of trip and he's another not out of things. Turf win in August and remained in form on AW since, second at Lingfield (1m4f) last week.

(2) Chase The Dollar 13/2, Running consistently well prior to deservedly resuming winning ways in 9-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (14f, 10/3) 19 days ago, leading last ½f and ridden out. Likely to continue in form. Back to winning ways over this trip; should be in thick of things again.

15/2(-50%)
(1) True Courage 15/2, Career best when landing 8-runner handicap at this course (13.3f, 13/2) 35 days ago, quickening to lead 1f out and winning readily. 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent him going well again. Added to good AW record with course win last month; should remain competitive up 4lb.

18/1(-80%)
(4) Sun Tracker 18/1, Well-related sort who very much caught the eye back from 16 months off/for new yard when third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 21 days ago, caught much further back than the pair that beat him. One to bear in mind with that under his belt. Promising start for new stable after 15-month absence when third over 1m4f 21 days ago.

40/1(-60%)
(8) African Star 40/1, Winner at Lingfield in August. Eighth of 9 in handicap at Salisbury (14.2f, heavy, 14/1) 70 days ago, weakening over 3f out on softest ground he's faced. Eased 2 lb ahead of this. Low-mileage 3yo who has been gelded ahead of this AW debut.
LTO Selection:
20:30 Chelmsford Handicap (Class 4) 14f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
KYLE OF LOCHALSH finished with a storming run to score over this course and distance last month and is hard to oppose on the back of that comfortable success, despite the imposition of a 6lb higher mark. Fellow last-time-out winner Chase The Dollar is respected making his course debut, while Tradesman is another must for the shortlist as he chases a four-timer.
An ultra-competitive staying handicap with the vote in favour of KYLE OF LOCHALSH. He overcame a pace bias when resuming winning ways over C&D 33 days ago, pulling a long way clear with the runner-up in the process, and he's probably not reached his limit yet. The thriving Tradesman and Queensland Boy head the dangers, with Sun Tracker another to keep an eye on.
In a competitive finale the suggestion is KYLE OF LOCHALSH, who quickened up nicely to score over C&D last month.
