13:25 – Emerald Fox
With his recent 5lb rise offset by Christian Howarth’s useful claim, Dark Design is likely to be on the premises again. However, it might be worth chancing EMERALD FOX, who looked stretched by 1m2f at Lingfield last time and now returns to her optimum trip on a good mark. Free-goer Daany comes with some risk attached but is another to consider, while the three 3yos at the bottom of the racecard all have claims too.

14:00 – Schwartz
Something has clicked for SCHWARTZ (nap) this summer and George Rooke didn’t need to get too serious with him to win pretty comfortably at Southwell last time. The selection can overcome his latest 7lb rise and complete a hat-trick. Claritudo was a beaten favourite on his latest outing but that form looks strong and he still has plenty of scope to progress from his Redcar win in May. Unexposed filly Miss Blennerhasset also makes appeal.
14:35 – My Joker
Some satisfactory experience of Polytrack sways the vote in favour of MY JOKER ahead of Peggoty, his only form rival. Both have had plenty of racing and they don’t set a daunting standard, so Jedba (whose saddle slipped last time) and debutante Moment De Reve (who hopefully won’t play up in the stalls this time) need a second look.
15:10 – Tippy Toes
A flawless C&D record, some good runs in better races of late and the prospect of an easy lead make TIPPY TOES the standout candidate in this field. Aramis Grey isn’t sure to find this being run to suit, so True Jem may be the biggest danger to the selection if returning to the form of her Haydock win nine days ago.

15:45 – Timestamp
With Shut Up And Dance in today’s field, recent C&D winner TIMESTAMP is unlikely to enjoy an uncontested lead this time. However, George Scott’s gelding won that handicap debut with considerable authority and still looks very well treated under a 6lb penalty. Copperplate is also in good form and looks the main danger.
16:20 – Ballyvil
Several of these come here in good form, notably Dors Toyboy (second choice), Desert Dream, Monaadhil and The Charmer. A less-obvious contender is 17-race maiden BALLYVIL, but he posted his best finish when third over C&D in April on the only occasion he has been fitted with this headgear combination. He returned from a short break with a promising run behind Dors Toyboy 12 days ago (set a lot to do) and he might be worth chancing.
16:55 – Star Of St Louis
With his win at Yarmouth in July having worked out very well, STAR OF ST LOUIS will be a key player if anywhere near that level, even from the widest stall. Bonnie Lad may benefit from the return to Chelmsford, while City Vaults, who was a smooth-travelling second over 1m4f at Ripon yesterday, will command serious respect if lining up.
