Chelmsford provides the evening fare with an eight-race card starting at 5.45. Here we pick out three names to note.

Red Striker6.45

No surprise to see a colt part-owned by Sir Alex Ferguson's bearing this name as the son of Sea The Stars makes his debut in the mile novice stakes.

The Sir Michael Stoute-trained newcomer reportedly impressed in his exercise in Newmarket on Tuesday morning and he will need to be forward against the experienced Morlock and Rua Augusta.

Could it be significant the 190,000gns yearling makes his first start at a track owned by another part-owner Fred Done?

Boynton7.15

The one-time Classic hope is the star attraction of the meeting as he returns following a 443 day-absence off the track in the feature conditions stakes.

The Godolphin colt has suffered a series of setback since showing smart form as a two-year-old, winning his first two starts – including in the Superlative Stakes at Newmarket – before finishing third in the Vintage Stakes at Glorious Goodwood.

A Group 2 winner running without a penalty, he is bred to take well to artificial surfaces and can start to make up for lost time.

The Juggler8.45

Returning to the scene of his seven-length course-and-distance success six weeks ago, the four-year-old looks capable of following up.

Despite being 0-17 going into his last race, he was well supported all day and his backers never had a moment's worry as he wrapped up a promising victory.

The 1m2f trip really suited last time and if remaining in the same form, he should be able to defy a 7lb penalty.
