Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday May 4th

Chelmsford City Racecourse

Our late Queen Elizabeth II loved horseracing and her enthusiasm for the sport cast a shining light into every corner; one of the highlights for us was the day Dartmouth won the John Porter Stakes when it was relocated here several years ago

As we look forward to King Charles III’s coronation on Saturday, we shall certainly see a different kind of monarch but, as a true countryman, we can rest assured that his support of our sport will be steadfast, along with that of his Queen Consort. We look forward to seeing them gracing the Royal box at Ascot next month and, perhaps, one day seeing the royal colours first past the post in the elusive Epsom Derby.

I hope you have an enjoyable evening with us.

Neil Graham

Racing Director

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

Runner-up over C&D on her last two starts, this represents a good opportunity for AMERICAN BELLE to get off the mark at the seventh time of asking and she is fancied to go one better here James Fanshawe’s three-year-old is fairly well-related and there is likely much more in her locker Monte Linas secured a comfortable success on his racecourse debut last month and is feared most, despite having to shoulder a 7lb penalty for that success, while Terwada completes the shortlist.

Leading course trainer (17-22): A Watson (34 wins from 235 runners, 14%) runs HILDEGARD

HILDEGARD caught the eye when fifth in a novice over C&D on debut 4 weeks ago and can find the required improvement to beat form-pick American Belle, who finished over 4 lengths in front of the selection that day Monte Linas overcame inexperience to make a winning debut over C&D 2 weeks ago and is another to consider despite his penalty.

CITY SELECTIONS

ANIFICAS BEAUTY took a big step forward on her return to action when scoring over 7f at this track last month and a drop in trip may not be enough to stop her following up. She made virtually all on that occasion and is entitled to secure a double off 6lb higher, but Company Minx was a game winner over this trip at Kempton most recently and can give the selection plenty to think about. Araifjan also warrants a market check.

CITY SELECTIONS

Smokey Malone steps up in class following a game win over this trip at Southwell last month and can have a say in proceedings off 2lb higher, but recent course winner CEDAR CAGE is marginally preferred on this occasion. He has gone up 3lb for a comfortable success over 2m most recently and is fancied to land a double here, while Master Grey scored with some authority at Wolverhampton on his latest outing and is another to bear in mind.

MELAKAZ is a thoroughly likeable sort who is definitely the type to win more races this year Robert Stephens’ 5-y-o gets the vote to make a winning reappearance at the expense of What Will Be, who ran well on both outings at this venue last month and should be in the mix once again. Smokey Malone can fill out third spot.

YOU SAW BRIGADOON has shown improved form sent handicapping this year, gettng off the mark at Wolverhampton in March before bumping into a handicap debutante when runner-up last time. He remains unexposed at this longer distance and can resume winning ways, though Greek Giant and Churchill Rose are also open to progress and are feared most.

CITY SELECTIONS

Boasty arrives in good form having notched up a brace of C&D wins recently, but a 6lb rise for the latest of those victories leaves him on a career-high mark and MAYFAIR GOLD is preferred. Alan King’s charge scored on her second handicap start, winning at Southwell in January. It’s unlikely she has reached the ceiling of her ability so a 4lb hike could prove lenient. Cavalluccio and Lenny’s Spirit can battle it out for third.

WYVERN was only beaten a neck into second in a similar event over this track and trip a couple of weeks ago and the four-year-old gets the vote off just a 1lb higher mark. Sir Oliver was also narrowly denied on his most recent outing and that followed an encouraging effort here in March.

A tricky finale to solve despite the small field but WYVERN ran up to his best when foiled only by a 66/1 shot over C&D a fortnight ago and, now nudged up just 1lb for that near miss, Stuart Williams’ charge can notch a fourth career success.
