Evening Racing Thursday 16th December 2021
Official Programme £3.00
Welcome Merry Christmas Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse for our last meeting of 2021. We have 7 races for you today, featuring the £40,000 weatherbysshop.co.uk handicap. This staying race for three year olds has attracted seven runners, all of whom have been showing good form all year, but I like the look of Justus. He has only run four times in his life and improved for every run, when trained by Andre Fabre but now gelded and in the hands of Ian Williams, he looks an interesting runner. 2022 brings lots of new innovations and progress at CCR. You may have noticed the new marquee at the far end of the grandstand, which will allow you to be at the heart of the action, whilst having dinner. The large marquee in the middle of the course will be helping the NHS to ensure everyone can get their Covid vaccinations for the next few months, before reverting to being the epicentre of our exciting events programme. As ever, CCR continues to look at how we can improve and offer you all a better and more enjoyable experience. May we respectfully request that you keep socially distanced this afternoon and wear your mask, whenever and wherever appropriate, and stay safe. I hope you have an enjoyable evening and we look forward to seeing you in the New Year. Neil Graham Racing Director

Timeform Rating
OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS
The BHA Handicappers allot ratings to horses once they have taken part in a sufficient number of races to enable the Handicappers to make a numerical assessment of each horse’s ability. The principal purpose of the ratings is to determine the weight to be carried by each runner in handicap races, with the Handicappers aiming to provide each participant with an equal chance based on its best recent form under its optimum conditions. A horse rated 100, for example, would be set to carry 1lb more than a horse rated 99 (ignoring any penalties or allowances). The ratings published in the racecard for handicap races are the ratings that were used to calculate the weight to be carried by each horse, whilst in non-handicaps races the rating shown is that of each runner at the time that the entries for the race were confirmed. Any subsequently published change to a rating, either up or down, is shown in brackets following the rating.

CITY SELECTIONS YONAFIS won with a lot more in hand than the bare margin may suggest at Lingfield last month and the son of Golden Horn looks well capable of defying a penalty here. He is preferred to Mr Big Stuff, who displayed marked improvement from first to second start when third at Nottingham. Charlie Fellowes could also have a say with either of his two newcomers, with slight preference for Sous Les Etoiles, whose talented half-sister Token Of Love won on debut herself. YONAFIS

PLAY SMARTER
YONAFIS overcame greenness to make a winning debut at Lingfield, presumably held in some regard by his top yard given his strength in the market, and he’s taken to defy a penalty. Mr Big Stuff improved massively from his debut when third at Nottingham and can follow the selection home.

CITY SELECTIONS PERCY JONES’ most recent second at Lingfield may well be the best form on offer in this open-looking contest and his rating of 78 sets the standard. Themoonsaballoon is likely to improve for the step up in trip, having been outpaced the last twice at Kempton and Wolverhampton. Beny Nahar Road catches the eye on pedigree alone being a half-brother to Hong Kong Cup winner Akeed Mofeed, while Neandra is also of interest for a stable that knows how to ready one. PERCY JONES

Themoonsaballoon can make her presence felt on the pick of her form, while Beny Nahar Road is a newcomer to note given his eye-catching pedigree.

CITY SELECTIONS A convincing winner at Newcastle last month, JABBAR is a confident selection to go in again here for his in-form connections. Just over three lengths behind him on that occasion was Alphonse Le Grande, who is expected to get closer here courtesy of a 5lb pull at the weights, while Delphinus can also have a say on her first start in nursery company. Dashing To You was a respectable third over C&D last month and he is entitled to improve for that run. JABBAR

PLAY SMARTER
ALPHONSE LE GRANDE was a big eye-catcher behind Jabbar at Newcastle last time (likely to have been involved in the finish with a clear run) and he looks ready to strike. Jabbar showed improved form himself to get off the mark making nursery debut in a first-time visor and is the obvious threat again.

PLAY SMARTER
SKY POWER was value for a bit extra than the 1 1/4-length winning margin at Lingfield 16 days ago, having to come around the field and ultimately winning with a bit up his sleeve. Nudged up just 2lb for that success, Ralph Beckett’s charge gets the vote to follow up. High Commissioner was unlucky to bump into a now smart performer when last seen so he’s feared most on return, ahead of Byford.

Seven stayers go to post for the fifth race on this evening’s card, the weatherbysshop.co.uk handicap, a class 2 event for three-year-olds over 1m6f. Despite being a 0-105 contest, top-weight is carried by Marshall Plan, who represents Godolphin and the John & Thady Gosden stable, from a mark of 92. The Golden Horn colt again wears cheekpieces, as he did when runner-up over course-and-distance last month. He attempted to make all on that occasion and looked to have pinched it off the home bend, as he kicked clear under James Doyle. He tired in the closing stages, however, and was collared by Bascule, who stayed on strongly to justify favouritism for trainer Richard Hughes. The winner was completing the hat-trick – following victories at Lingfield and Kempton – and looks to be thoroughly progressive. He is 3lbs worse off with the runner-up for that lengthand-a-half success, but might well be up to defying the handicapper. Bascule is one of three last-time-out winners in the field, with the other pair being Moliwood and Justus. The former was ridden positively when winning by a short-head at Wolverhampton last month, for which he has been put up just 2lbs. Kept wide throughout under Andrea Atzeni, Marco Botti’s Fastnet Rock gelding took up the running on the home bend, and just held on from the fast-finishing Potenza, who had won his two previous starts. As for Justus, he is the least-exposed horse in the field. Un-raced at two, he made four starts for Andre Fabre in France, winning on the last of those, at Dieppe in June. Settled in behind the leaders, the son of Galileo showed a fine attitude to win by a neck, with six lengths back to the third. The runner-up has advertised that form by winning twice since, whilst the third won over hurdles at Auteuil in October (having
also won on the Flat at Clairefontaine). That victory at Dieppe came over 1m7f, so staying shouldn’t be an issue and from an opening mark of 86, he is certainly very interesting. Whilst it is difficult to evaluate the form in the context of this race, he clearly possesses plenty of ability and represents the shrewd Ian Williams, who paid €80,000 to secure him at Arqana in July. Last of 11 in the Irish Derby – when used as a pacemaker – Matchless makes his debut for the in-form Ivan Furtado stable. He has been gelded since his last start for Aidan O’Brien and steps up markedly in trip. Napper Tandy finished fifth behind Bascule and Marshall Plan last month and has just under 3 lengths to find, having earlier won over shorter at Newcastle. His effort levelled out a little in the closing stages, so he still needs to prove his stamina, although that was his first start in 223 days, so he could strip fitter this time. Abraaj completes the line-up for Simon Pearce and Luke Morris. He is another French import who makes his British debut here, having finished third at Lyon last time, in the colours of Sheikh Hamdan Al Maktoum. He travelled really well through that race and looked to have done enough when hitting the front late on. The second has won since and having been picked up for 100,000 guineas by his new connections, he is another interesting runner, who has also been handed an opening mark of 86.

CITY SELECTIONS BASCULE arrives here on the back of a hat-trick of victories in recent months and a 4lb rise for the most recent of those wins may not be enough to stop the progressive three-year-old. Justus remains unexposed and he should not be underestimated on his debut for these connections, while Moliwood and Marshall Plan also merit places on the shortlist. BASCULE

CITY SELECTIONS The very much in-form INTERNATIONALANGEL is hard to oppose as she looks to maintain her unbeaten start since joining her new yard. Her three latest wins have all been over this course and distance and, although upped in class off 6lb more here, she won so easily last time that she may well strike again. The down-in-grade Big Narstie might be her biggest danger with his yard in good form, while Papa Stour has won off 3lb higher in the past and is not easily discounted. INTERNATIONALANGEL
