Course winner. 3 wins from 13 runs this year. Latest win at Kempton in July. Respectable fourth of 9 in handicap (7/2) at the same course (7f) 17 days ago. Each-way shout.

C&D winner. 25/1, eighth of 12 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 66 days ago, not clear run. Others make more appeal.

66/1, first run since leaving Andre Fabre when last of 9 in handicap at Kempton (6f) on UK debut 29 days ago. Fair bit to prove at present.

50/1, seventh of 9 in handicap at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 40 days ago and she's probably best watched on this polytrack debut.

Winner at Musselburgh in August. Last of 11 in handicap at that course (7.1f, good to soft, 14/1) 19 days ago and needs to get back on track now switched to this surface.

20/1
Lightly-raced maiden. 25/1, seventh of 11 in handicap at Haydock (6f, good to firm) when last seen in May. Gelded since and, having shaped with promise in maiden/novice company on the AW prior to that low-key display, he remains open to improvement.

C&D winner. Latest win here in March. 10/1, creditable second of 13 in handicap at Kempton (7f) 8 days ago. Merits consideration off the same mark.

15/8
Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (10/11) at Lingfield (7f, AW) 19 days ago, keeping on gamely. 5 lb rise fair enough and this progressive 3-y-o should make a bold bid to complete the hat-trick.

C&D winner. 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest here in May. 14/1, last of 7 in handicap at this C&D when last seen the following month and it's probably best to look elsewhere.

Forecasts

Summertime Blues (15/8), Bold Suitor (4/1), Wadacre Maestro (4/1), Chola Empire (8/1), Flag Carrier (8/1), Dear Cat (10/1), Profitman (16/1), Captain Parma (20/1), Capuchinero (22/1), Nubough (40/1), Fabuleuse (100/1)

18:45 Chelmsford City - 2 October 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

The hat-trick beckons for SUMMERTIME BLUES, who is firmly on the up and should have more to offer on what will be just his eighth career start. Captain Parma failed to take a step forward on his handicap debut at Haydock, but he remains of interest now returned to the all-weather in view of his earlier promise in maiden/novice company. Flag Carrier is also shortlisted, along with Bold Suitor.
