Fallen 6lb since her return from a ten month break in early October. Finished ninth of 15 to Mach One over 1m latest, and stamina to prove now upped in trip.

Doesn't win (or draw) all that often; barren since November 2016. Down a further 3lb but with stamina question marks returning from a short break.

Clearly no star, and her mark is probably plenty high enough. However, goes well at this track and was an emphatic scorer over 1m (class 7) from a 7lb lower mark here in May.

Shouldn't be unduly troubled by this trip being a dual extended 1m1f winner at Wolverhampton. On a good mark when she regains her best level of form, most likely around Dunstall Park.

Not shown much, but time is still on his side after just four career starts, albeit needs to show much improvement for his Newcastle handicap debut (1m2f), but that's possible given it was his first start for almost 12 months.

Veteran of 157 races, but not in the strongest form at present, hence his slide back in the weights. AW proven (nine career successes), but never at Chelmsford.

6/1
A 12 race maiden who has done plenty of her racing over further than this in the past. Runner up (beaten 1L) to Miss M over C&D early last month, so every chance racing from the same mark tonight.

7/2
An eight race maiden, but the fitting of blinkers has helped. Beaten 3L by Kohinoor Diamond over C&D early last month, and has posted another reasonable effort on turf at Yarmouth since. Player despite the wide draw.

8/1
A two time 7f Dundalk winner back in the day (2014), and this trainer is still struggling to get to grips with him since joining from Richard Rowe. On a dangerous mark if it all finally clicks.

13 race maiden who essentially looks a 7f horse, Now 9lb lower than his initial handicap mark in May, and makes his sixth start on the AW wearing first time cheek-pieces.

Shown nothing in four starts so far, including when last seen in action at Wolverhampton in June. Handicap debut, but in truth the assessor has been hugely generous with a mark of 38.

Forecasts

Hediddodinthe (11/4), King Kevin (7/2), Haldaw (6/1), Win Lose Draw (7/1), Whip Up A Frenzy (8/1), African Showgirl (10/1), Pensax Lady (12/1), Just Fab (14/1), Pegi Browne (14/1), Outlaw Torn (16/1), Lesanti (20/1), La Goulue (50/1), Rubheira (66/1)

Verdict

A race which is almost certainly weaker than Division 1, and represents real bottom of the barrel action. King Kevin brings the strongest recent form into the race, and he might be good enough to overcome a wide draw with so few viable alternatives on offer. Pensax Lady is on a competitive mark, but strongest at Wolverhampton, whilst Just Fab is a fairly consistent filly in low grade handicaps at this track. However, the value lies with the Mick Channon trained filly HALDAW. She has stamina in spades, and races from the same mark tonight as when beaten just 1L by Miss M over C&D last month.
