Timeform highlight two horses of interest at Chelmsford this evening.
CARLTON - 18:30 Chelmsford
CARLTON is yet another horse who has been rejuvenated by James Owen, well backed to make a winning start for the stable over this course and distance last month, finding plenty despite failing to settle early, and he had no problem following up under a penalty seven days later.
He beat the reopposing Lumberjack by three quarters of a length on that occasion, but he was value for plenty more given he overcame a positional bias, still having a fair bit to do entering the straight and finding plenty under a hands-and-heels ride. A subsequent 2lb rise in the weights very much underestimates him and he is strongly fancied to complete a hat-trick.
THE OUTLAW - 19:00 Chelmsford
THE OUTLAW has a wide draw in stall 13 to overcome, but he was strong in the betting on his return and handicap debut at Southwell last week, and he shaped with plenty of promise.
He left his previous form well behind, enjoying the run of things at the head of affairs, but edged out only late on by a thriving and battle-hardened sort, and beating the remainder comfortably. The Outlaw is able to race from the same mark being turned out so quickly (due to be 3lb higher in the future) and he could yet have even more to offer now moving up to a mile.
