Our View on the Chelmsford (AW) Card

Three races worth a view, scored on market position, official ratings, recent form and yard form. Our reasoning is shown so you can disagree with it.

Labiche is the strongest case on the card at 3/2. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form. In a 14-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

Jenson Benson makes more sense each-way at 5/1. Recent form reads well against these. In a 14-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

Eighty Eight is the strongest case on the card at 5/6. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form. In a 14-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

Makes Me Wonder makes more sense each-way at 11/2. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form. In a 14-runner field, take the each-way terms seriously.

Queens Bandit is the strongest case on the card at 11/4. The yard is in form, and that tends to matter more than any single line of form.

Chaise Longue makes more sense each-way at 11/4. Recent form reads well against these.
