Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 27th April

Chelmsford City Racecourse

The feature race tonight on our 7-race card is the Listed Chelmer Stakes for fillies over 6 furlongs, which has a maximum field of 14 runners competing for the £80,000 prize money on offer Making it one of the most valuable Listed races in Great Britain this year.

Catherine of Siena (IRE) and Wave Machine (FR) have shipped in from Ireland, attempting to beat the home opposition, which features some top-class fillies from last year. Rage of Bamby (IRE), Glenlaurel (IRE), and Believing (IRE) all have excellent form and it will be a fascinating race to see who comes out on top and goes on to challenge for some of the top sprinting prizes later this year.

We thank Irish Thoroughbred Marketing for their sponsorship of this race and for their generous offer of a 10,000 euros voucher to any Irish-bred winner, which can be redeemed against a purchase at any horse sale in Ireland.

We look forward to sharing with you this evening all the excitement, glamour, and pizzazz that a race of this calibre has to offer.

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

A taking winner over course and distance last time out, ONE MORE DREAM can follow up off a 5lb higher mark and gain a sixth career victory. That may be at the main expense of the dual-course winner Shades Of Summer, who has the potential to improve for this step up in trip. Ideal Guest is another to note on his return, as well as Jenson Benson.

PRISCILLA’S WISH has racked up plenty of wins over the last 12 months and she returned from 173-day break to score over C&D last week. A 5lb penalty for that success may not be enough to stop her as she looks to make it seven wins from her last eight starts. Runner-up over course and distance last time out, Spirited Guest looks to be her main danger, along with Spirit Of Nguru.

This can go the way of LUCKY SAN JORE, who has done very well since joining the Marco Botti stable and this drop in trip could get him back on the winning trail. The four-year-old is narrowly preferred to Brunel Charm and Hotspur Harry, who was not beaten far over course and distance last time out.

LUCKY SAN JORE has yet to finish out of the frame in 4 starts for his current yard, running well after 5 months off when second at Wolverhampton last month, so he is taken to build on his reappearance effort and resume winning ways.

CITY SELECTIONS

BELIEVING makes plenty of appeal following her creditable fifth in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket. Twice second in Group 3 company as a juvenile and having her second run since undergoing wind surgery, there is a lot to like about George Boughey’s filly and her supporters will be pleased to see that James Doyle keeps the ride. Marine Wave is feared most given her juvenile form reads well, while Rage Of Bamby finished third in the Rockfel and also comes into calculations.

PLAY SMARTER

Having won on her first 2 starts, RAGE OF BAMBY improved again when third in the Rockfel at Newmarket, so she is well worth another chance after a below-par effort on her final outing last season. She can resume her progress to see off the challenge of Believing, who is respected back down in trip, while Lady Hamana also merits consideration with her reappearance run behind her.

PLAY SMARTER

SURREY NOIR offered something to work on when fifth at Kempton on debut last month, not knocked about, and he can build on that effort to open his account at the second attempt. Hailey Ya Mal makes plenty of appeal on paper and could be the main danger on his first start, while Chamber Choir ran well on her stable debut last time.

CITY SELECTIONS

It looks best to side with TWAYBLADE, who exploited a drop in the handicap to score at Yarmouth 12 days ago. He made all that day and is berthed well in stall two to do so once again here Quinault is bred to be smart and he merits the utmost respect on this handicap debut, while South Dakota Sioux is another to consider.

PLAY SMARTER

TWAYBLADE reacted positively to a switch to front-running tactics at Yarmouth last time and might be able to dominate here from a handy low stall. Quinault is a likely improver now switching to handicap company for the Stuart Williams yard and is second choice ahead of Sumac, who was comfortably held by the selection at Yarmouth but can fare better back on AW with Oisin Murphy in the saddle.

While her peak fitness has to be taken on trust there should be more to come from SPIT SPOT for her new stable so she’s narrowly preferred to last week’s 2m course second World Without Love. De Vega’s Warrior presumably failed to handle deep ground back on turt at Nottingham last time but had run well on AW prior to that and can prove rest of the rest.
