Leg 1 Selections: Tokyo Dreamer, Rogue State 

TOKYO DREAMER has a good record over this trip which reads 333321 and although she was beaten a long way into second last time, she clearly didn’t appreciate the step up in trip to a mile. She should be thereabouts back at this distance. ROGUE STATE shaped with potential when third on debut at Southwell and could trouble a few of these under Hayley Turner.

Leg 2 Selections: Machiavellian Lady 

Eve Johnson Houghton’s MACHIAVELLIAN LADY ran a big race when third on debut at Newbury in what was a warm race for the grade. She should have plenty more to offer and can build on that promise now she is switched to the all-weather. Drawn effectively in stall 2, she can put her experience to good use and open her account in this. She is also Eve’s only runner on the card.

Leg 3 Selections: Full Regalia 

The Charlie Hills-trained FULL REGALIA has shown promise in all four starts to date and has gone close enough the last twice to suggest her turn might be just around the corner. She is eased in grade and the form of her fourth at Newmarket has worked out well. She is likely to be up with the early pace and should be more than capable of going close in a race like this under Saffie Osborne.

Leg 4 Selections: Rhythmic Acclaim 

I will take a solo chance on RHYTHMIC ACCLAIM who has already placed three times off higher marks and wasn’t beaten far into third in a stronger race than this last time at Yarmouth. The assessor has reduced her mark another 1Ib and she’s been dealt with a decent slot in stall 6. She should be competitive against these off an exploitable mark.

Leg 5 Selections: Meadram, Corporate Raider

MEADRAM hasn’t made much impact in the second half of this year but his last win came off a 1Ib higher mark and he has placed twice off marks of 65 and 66 over this trip. He is handicapped to have a say, while CORPORATE RAIDER is back on his last winning mark and has been largely consistent in defeat since. 

19:00 Chelmsford

Leg 6 Selections: Gold As Glass, Lethal Touch

GOLD AS GLASS might offer a spot of value from the inside draw. She was second over this trip at Nottingham last month off a 1Ib higher mark and wasn’t beaten far into fourth in her only previous start on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. The in-form LETHAL TOUCH has won her last couple of starts and should make a bold effort.
