Evening Racing Thursday 6th January 2022

Official Programme £3.00

Welcome Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse for our first meeting of 2022. We have 8 races for you today with 81 runners across, what looks, an incredibly competitive card. Good luck with finding the winners! Everyone, at CCR, is looking forward to an exciting year at the racecourse. We have 51 fixtures already allocated throughout 2022 with the expectation of more to come – so a busy year! Our large Summer marquee, in the middle of the course, is being used, at present, to help the NHS get as many people as possible vaccinated but it will be at the centre of our events’ programme for this summer. We are also refurbishing the marquee by the pre-paddock and the brand-new, trackside Queen Charlotte marquee, both of which will put you right at the heart of the action. We are working hard to have the new turf track ready before the end of the year. The prospect of being the only racecourse in the whole of Great Britain to be able to offer turf racing under lights is a thrilling thought for all of us and we look forward to bringing this concept to fruition. Have a wonderful evening. 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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

CITY SELECTIONS The unexposed ALHAMMAAM got off the mark over 6f at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago and he should take plenty of stopping once again today, although the step up in trip is a slight concern. Seesawing has been running consistently well in defeat of late and he should be thereabouts once again, while Woke Media and Almaan complete the shortlist. ALHAMMAAM

PLAY SMARTER

Preference is for the lightly-raced 5-y-o SEESAWING, who is gradually progressive and left the impression that he’d be well-served by the step up to this trip when keeping on into third over 7f at Kempton last time. Alhammaam’s breakthrough success was gained in a 6f novice, but neither this trip nor mark should be an issue back in a handicap and he is second choice ahead of Healing Power.

CITY SELECTIONS In an open contest the marginal preference is for LAURENTIA, who is a C&D winner and she has not been beaten far in any of her last four starts. Crazy Spin bounced back to form when ﬁlling third place at Southwell last time and she may prove to be the main threat to the selection. Others to note are Essgee Nics, Recuerdame and Disarming.

PLAY SMARTER

None of these are especially convincing but CRAZY SPIN did at least return to form under a change of tactics when third in a 14-runner Southwell handicap last time. She could prove hard to peg back if again setting out to make all back at this course, the scene of her latest success in April. With No Diggity due to run at Kempton on Wednesday, Laurentia and Recuerdame rate the main dangers.

CITY SELECTIONS VIGNONI displayed plenty of promise when finishing second on his racecourse debut over 7f at Kempton last May and he confirmed his well-being with an encouraging effort over hurdles on his sole subsequent run in November. The unexposed four-year-old should have no problem returning to the level and he just gets the vote over Dark Flyer, who finished third at Wolverhampton recently.

This represents a decent opportunity for VIGNONI, who shaped well when runner-up on his sole start for Henry Candy at Kempton last spring and he didn’t fare badly starting out for this yard over hurdles at Catterick in November.

MACS DILEMMA could have more to offer for the John O’Shea yard so is fancied to shrug off a small rise for last month’s Wolverhampton success. Split Elevens isn’t one to trust but he’s more than capable off this mark and is feared most ahead of Dean Ivory’s Dors Toyboy.

CITY SELECTIONS RIVER CHORUS performed creditably over this trip at Wolverhampton last week, particularly as she lost her right fore shoe, and Phil McEntee’s ﬁlly looks to have a solid chance lining up off the same mark. Trepidation hasn’t been beaten too far over 1m the last twice and he merits consideration now cutting back in distance, while Arlo’s Sunshine and Vino Santo are others to watch out for. : RIVER CHORUS

PLAY SMARTER

A competitive low-grade affair and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on SHADOW ANGEL. She had underfoot conditions as a possible excuse when well beaten at Windsor in August but her best effort previously came when third over this C&D and she could well bounce back. Trepidation and River Chorus are a couple of others to consider.

CITY SELECTIONS SEMSER has found improvement since wearing cheekpieces and he took a step in the right direction when holding off all of his rivals to score at Lingﬁeld last month. The ﬁve-year-old gelding was raised 1lb for that success and he can follow up returning to this shorter trip with the headgear retained. Light Up Our Stars commands respect after his win at Wolverhampton but this might be a tougher assignment as he tackles this higher level, while cases can also be made for Majestic Tejaan and Qeyaady in an open affair.

PLEDGE OF HONOUR is now 5lb below his previous winning mark and he looked back in form here last time, meeting trouble at a crucial moment. He’s therefore worth siding with to build on that, with Light Up Our Stars and Semser feared most.

CITY SELECTIONS MY LADY CLAIRE was not disgraced when she was just headed in the closing stages to ﬁnish third at Wolverhampton last month. The six-year-old mare remains lightly raced for her age and she can make her presence felt now pitched into this weaker grade. Brass Clankers is a former C&D winner and he is not to be underestimated returning to this shorter trip, while Thunderoad is one to note for any market support as he returns from a short break.

PLAY SMARTER

MISS SLIGO should be sharper for her recent Lingﬁeld fourth and rates the pick at these weights so looks the way to go in a race where plenty arrive with quesion marks against them. Born To Sire is still to get his head in front but merits serious consideration on these terms with Jeremiah Johnson appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
