Chelmsford Placepot picks: Paul Kealy has a crack at the £100,000 pool

The Tote's £100k daily placepot guarantee has been saved for the evening card at Chelmsford, but it's fair to say not all the races are as competitive as they would have hoped.

The opening contest (5.00) has only seven runners, but is the clear form pick on his debut second at Newmarket, where the front two pulled clear of the rest. He is hard to oppose.

The next (5.30) is tough and of dismal quality but someone has to win it. Suggested are , who has at least hit the frame in similar company on four of her last five starts, and , who is well treated on his early season form and should strip fitter this time.

The 2m handicap (6.00) ought to be between Longsider and , and it's the latter, proven at the trip, who gets the nod.

You can't rule out any of the five in the next (6.30), but the picks are , who is consistent on the all-weather, and , who had some fair form in France and makes his debut for Marco Botti.

The 6f handicap (7.00) is the most competitive race and I'll go with (better than latest showing), (progressing) and , who should come on for her last effort.

is hard to leave out of the last (7.30) given the form he's in, and completes the perm.
