7:00 Chelmsford Going Standard / Distance - 1m 5f

Pool Value: £12.84

He has not been at his best this winter but SMOKEY MALONE won a 1m4f Southwell classified last month and was recently placed off today's mark in a handicap over that C&D. This trip-and-surface combination will arguably suit him better and he gets the vote. Zooks and This Time Maybe (preferred in that order) have been knocking on the door this year and also make the shortlist.[Chris Wilson]

No.	Selection	Form		Guide	ToteWin	TotePlace
1 (11)	Vitruvian Dawn S D Bowen / M Murphy	4yrs / 9st 9lb 05-70 Spotlight	61	18/1
Vitruvian Dawn Unexposed after only four starts but was well-beaten 33-1 shot (albeit hampered) on last month's handicap debut at Kempton (1m4f); considered only if much stronger in the betting here; hood refitted.
2 (6)	Unification Rossa Ryan / P S Mcentee	5yrs / 9st 9lb /098-0 Spotlight	62	22/1
Unification Very disappointing maiden who finished last at Wolverhampton (1m6f) this month, after a layoff; urgently needs to prove some ability remains.
3 (9)	Smith R Havlin / Mrs L Richards	9yrs / 9st 8lb 69561- Spotlight	63	4/1
Smith Returned to the Flat with clearcut win at Lingfield (2m) in December, his seventh success over that C&D; 3lb rise is not excessive but he's away from his favourite track tonight and has not been reliable in recent years.
4 (2)	Virtual Hug David Probert / Mrs N S Evans	7yrs / 9st 7lb 476-27 Spotlight	65	12/1
Virtual Hug Best known as a Wolverhampton regular; inconsistent since returning from break in autumn but gave good account when second over 1m4f two starts ago and has possibilities if in similar form on first visit to Chelmsford.
5 (7)	Smokey Malone Dylan Hogan / J & S Birkett	7yrs / 9st 7lb 48-513 Spotlight	64	10/3	4.60
Smokey Malone Gained narrow win in Southwell classified (1m4f) last month and was close third in handicap there a fortnight ago; also suited by this C&D and likely to be on the premises again.
6 (10)	Foinix L Morris / J & S Best	5yrs / 9st 6lb 54-76V Spotlight	63	11/1
Foinix Dual classified winner on turf last summer (1m4f/11.6f); not firing on all cylinders in AW handicaps this winter but back on a good mark now and this C&D suits; no surprise if he features.
7 (3)	Mhajim Joey Haynes / C Banham	6yrs / 9st 6lb 54-465 Spotlight	65	13/2		3.90
Mhajim Tends to race too freely and is usually ridden very patiently; yet to add to his novice win in 2022 and has become frustrating but might be dangerous off today's career-low mark if this race is run to suit him.
8 (4)	Zooks Billy Loughnane / Ian Williams	5yrs / 9st 5lb 55-22V Spotlight	63	11/4	1.10	1.02
Zooks A maiden after 19 starts but came second in 1m6f course handicap and 1m4f Southwell classified last month; obvious contender if in similar form again.
9 (1)	The Resdev Way Joanna Mason / M & D Easterby	12yrs / 9st 4lb 316-38 Spotlight	65	11/1
The Resdev Way Came from off the pace for 1m6f win at Wolverhampton in November and has been placed over 1m4f there since; also effective on Polytrack but this old-timer needs to rebound from a poor performance last month.
10 (12)	Mapogo Grace Mcentee / M Pattinson	5yrs / 9st 4lb 007-78 Spotlight	59	33/1
Mapogo Regressive maiden who has been out of form since last spring; difficult to enthuse over.
11 (14)	Certain Style Non Runner / Mrs L J Mongan	5yrs / 9st 2lb 99416- Spotlight	63	SP
Certain Style Opened account in farcical race at Lingfield (2m) in November, when gifted a clear lead and winning by 22l, but it's wise to treat that form very cautiously and he was safely held behind Smith over that C&D next time.
12 (13)	This Time Maybe Tyler Heard / M D I Usher	4yrs / 9st 1lb 90-325 Spotlight	70	17/2	10.30
This Time Maybe Slightly disappointing in 1m4f Wolverhampton classified 17 days ago and now 0-14 but was placed in two handicaps over that C&D last month and is worth a shot at today's longer trip.
13 (5)	Reason To Pass Charles Bishop / Ian Williams	5yrs / 9st 1lb 009-96 Spotlight	55	33/1
Reason To Pass Nine-race maiden who has struggled to get competitive in recent months; goes beyond 1m3f for first time today.
14 (8)	Rogue Raider Marco Ghiani / C Hobson	4yrs / 9st 0lb 696-50 Spotlight	65	25/1
Rogue Raider 12-race maiden; belied 66-1 odds when respectable sixth here (1m6f) in December and is 6lb lower now but soundly beaten twice since.
