Chelmsford 4.55
This looks between the front pair in the market but I’m keen to side with Caravaggio filly ETERNAL LOVE for Ralph Beckett. She made a bright start chasing home Fresh Fancy on debut at Kempton. She didn’t quite have the pace to reel in the winner who got first run and in hindsight has done well to get as close as she did. If she breaks on terms here she should take plenty of stopping as she strikes me as having the most potential of these.
Beautiful Secret also caught the eye on debut only missing narrowly but failed to back that up at Ascot. She wasn’t disgraced and if she can progress further she should keep the selection honest. Invasive is quite interesting but might just need more time.
Chelmsford 5.30
Not the deepest race with only a few likely to have the quality to win this and GLASSTREES has to be the one to beat. She ran a cracker on handicap debut at Leicester to go down by half a length and gets to run off the same mark again here. She should be better for that run as she has had a small break between that run and her last and will be bang there at the finish.
The main danger in the field has to be Burtonlodge Beauty who has been a model of consistency since going handicapping and should go well again. I just think the selection has a bit more scope for improvement.
Chelmsford 6.00
This isn’t the strongest of contests so it looks a good chance for CHARMING WALLY to open his account. He has some solid form in the book and ran his best race to date since going handicapping when second at Kempton last time. He was no match for the winner but she looks a filly on the improve so it was still a good run in defeat. He is off the same mark here and this looks easier so with Buick up he has a big chance. I’m expecting him to go forward and he might just take a bit of pegging back.
Adaaydreambeliever won really well at Kempton last time and looks the obvious danger. I’m not really sure what she beat but she did it easily so she should give the selection something to think about. Pretty Green best of the rest with the cheekpieces back on.
Chelmsford 6.30
I think this could be an above average Novice Stakes at Chelmsford with some promising sorts in here. ABBADO impressed on his second start winning nicely at Chester and as a result carries a penalty here. Usually I am not a fan of horses with penalties in novice races as there is usually plenty of improvers which could be the case here but I think Abbado could be good enough.
Ingleton is the obvious danger getting 7lb from the selection after he ran a decent second at Yarmouth on debut. He steps up in trip here which isn’t always guaranteed to suit but pedigree suggests it should be fine. If he improves he will give the selection plenty to think about. The pair look a cut above.
Chelmsford 7.00
With 2 wins from her last 3 the progressive NOTEBOOK can go in again at Chelmsford on Thursday night. This filly by Shamardal beat a subsequent winner in Farhh To Shy at Yarmouth and while she let supporters down on handicap debut at Chepstow she was very much back to her best winning impressively down to the minimum at Wolverhampton last week. The horse she thrashed into second Trusty Rusty is a decent yardstick with some good form to her name is it was a really likeable effort. She is turned out quickly under a penalty but has a touch of class about her and she remains thoroughly unexposed over this trip. I thought she’d be shorter than 13/8 come post time.
Mejthaam also clocked a career best winning at Nottingham last time and while she can improve too she certainly won’t get it her own way up front here. Autumn Flight is well drawn to attack so also has to be considered but they may end up going off too hard.
Chelmsford 7.30
It’s 5/1 the field at the time of writing which tells you how open this race is considering eleven horses head to post. TOP CLASS ANGEL is worth another chance to get her head in front after 3 close seconds in her last 4 runs. She has the 5lb claimer back onboard which should see her go close again if she is in the same form as earlier in the month. She is proven over this C&D and ticks more boxes than most.
Motawaafeq is the main danger after winning over a mile at Kempton earlier in the month. He has only been raised 2lb for that win which is unlikely to stop him going well again on Thursday. Shining Aitch is also respected back in handicap company.
Chelmsford 8.00
Another Dawn impressed making a winning handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time. She doesn’t look entirely straightforward though and I do think this is tougher so she makes limited appeal at short odds. I’m going to take a chance on BERRTIE for team McEntee. They landed us a good winner last night in Los Camachos (Value Tip) so the yard have their horses in good form. This son of Wootton Bassett won really impressively over C&D on handicap debut back in June. He followed up at Yarmouth next time but has been held twice since. He was poor last time but has been given time since and retains potential. If he bounces back he has a major shout here.
Tawaazon is also unexposed and could definitely improve a chunk which adds to my reasoning that this fav is too short in the betting. Buick has been booked for the ride so connections are clearly anticipating an improved effort. Rebel Redemption wasn’t disgraced last time and his previous win at Catterick was convincing so he also has a squeak in an open race.
Chelmsford 8.30
I really liked Snow Berry for this but now she’s out I’m just having an each way bet on TOP BOY who looks a fair each way price. He is 11 now so you don’t always know what you are going to get but he has gone close off higher marks already this season and he could have 1 more win left in him.
Iris Times and Vincenzo Coccotti look the main dangers to me but Harbour Storm has been all the rage this morning so perhaps he will put up the most resistance in a weak race.
