6.40 Chelmsford, Friday, November 6

In the Totepool Supporting Sport You Love Handicap (6.40) at Chelmsford on Friday, it’s been a while since Shifting Star won at 0-80 level, but John Bridger’s veteran was only beaten a neck in a similar contest at Epsom in August, off a 6lb lower mark, so is far from a forlorn hope. Of course, the Night Shift gelding is unlikely to be improving in leaps and bounds at the age of ten, but ran well enough when second at Lingfield, off a 4lb lower mark, and when winning at Windsor, off a 2lb lower mark, on his two most recent starts to suggest that he may well be up to the task.

Shifting Star is making his sixteenth start of the season and, although still nowhere near the rating of 99 he achieved as a 3-year-old, he has officially improved 10lb since the turn of the year and appears to have found his level once again. In a race where recent winning form is thin on the ground, he must have a decent chance of becoming John Bridger’s first winner at the Essex track.
