Seeking a hat-trick following two wins at Kempton earlier this month. Most recent of those came over today's trip and he is one for the shortlist despite a 7lb penalty.

Disappointing over 1m2f since placing twice over an extended 1m in May. Drop in trip looks likely to suit but remains on a mark 5lb higher than for her latest victory.

Finished a decent third in first time blinkers (retained since) over 7f at Yarmouth (good) in July. Disappointing twice since and needs to return to form today.

Couple of decent efforts earlier this year including when runner-up over 7f at Yarmouth (good-to-firm) in June. Well held off this much higher AW mark last time out and more needed today.

Signs of ability in maiden company but well held in a maiden handicap on handicap debut at Wolverhampton last time out and probably best watched.

Sole success came over C&D in May. Couple of decent efforts the last twice including when 7L second over 1m2f here three weeks ago. Drop in trip is likely to suit and one to note in this contest.

Seven race maiden but put in a career best effort when finishing a close third of nine over this C&D earlier this month. Interesting if repeating that latest effort.

Yet to win in seven starts and well held upped to 1m4f at Kempton last month. Non-runner for a 7f contest at the same course since and others make more appeal.

Won just one of his 34 starts with that victory coming over today's C&D back in November 2015. Disappointing in the main since and others have a more obvious chance.

20:15 Chelmsford City - 21 September 2017 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

PRINCE JAI ran well when attempting to make all at Wolverhampton last time out and with blinkers fitted once more he can take this competitive handicap. Ian Williams charge remains a maiden after 17 starts but has shaped well on his two most recent starts since joining this yard earlier this year and with few pace angles in this contest he can register a first success at the chief expense of Chetan who has been in good form recently and is bidding to complete a hat-trick following two Kempton victories. Chough has been running well on turf recently and can claim third in this contest.
  1. Prince Jai
  2. Chetan
  3. Chough
