Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Rebel Path gets the nod in a tight Class 5 sprint at Chelmsford, sharing the top rating of 72 with Ancient Times and with only a couple of pounds separating the first four in our figures. That puts a premium on the small edges, and Rebel Path's level is good enough to make him the one to be with over the five furlongs. Ancient Times is the chief danger on level terms, while London Is Blue and Shalaa Asker, both on 70, are only narrowly behind and could easily turn this into a bunched finish. Rebel Path is our selection, though confidence is low in such an even contest.

Marco Ghiani
Robert Cowell 2/10
Two seconds in his last five starts, including one two runs back, make London Is Blue a leading danger, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The single concern is a 62-day absence after a fifth last time out.

John Wainwright 0/6
Startling won three and four starts back and was second in the two runs before that, but she has been out of the picture since, finishing eighth last time out after an unplaced effort. She has run over today's trip and going and returns after 14 days, though 134 lb from draw 3 is a stiff ask for a filly ranked fifth of seven by our rating.

Robert Havlin
Conrad Allen 0/1
Elvetham has slipped to a sixth and a ninth in his last two, so he's hard to fancy, though he won three and five starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Back in just 12 days, he's ranked sixth of seven on our figures from draw 1.

Harry Eustace 0/11
Ancient Times has a winner four starts back and a second three starts back to his name, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 72 ranks him second of seven. The main risk is a 62-day break after a ninth and a fourth in his last two outings.

Stuart Williams 0/17
Rebel Path has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's a winner three starts back, with a fifth last time out 27 days ago keeping him in sync. Our rating of 72 tops the field of seven, and only a modest eighth two starts back tempers the case from stall 5.

Charlie Wallis 0/3
Shalaa Asker arrives off a fourth last time out, with a winner two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 70 makes him a leading threat. The main risk is a 127-day absence, so fitness is the question.

Kieran O'Neill
Scott Dixon 1/25
The Fixer was only sixth last time out and has just the one win in his last six starts, a victory six starts back, so he is hard to fancy as the bottom-rated of seven on our figures. He has run over today's trip and going, and a third two starts back is a small positive off 19 days' rest.
