Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 11th May

Chelmsford City Racecourse

On, what is forecast to be a rather wet evening, we have a 7-race card for you featuring five handicaps and two novice races. The card kicks off with a 14-runner amateur riders’ race, which will be a wonderful spectacle, as they keep that Corinthian spirit alive, reminding us all that the essence of horse racing is about sport.

Later on, in the 7.30 pm race, Anificas Beauty has won her only two starts this year at Chelmsford and Monaadhil won here about a month ago; recent winning form is a big pointer to future success here and they will both warrant close inspection tonight.

An hour later, in the 8.30 pm race, an old favourite in Jenson Benson is back; he is already a four-time winner here and he ran a brave race to finish third a couple of weeks ago. Win, lose or draw we wish him all the best tonight.

I hope you have a great evening.

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

Having landed a classified event in March, BILLIAN lost nothing in defeat when finishing third in handicap company at Wolverhampton last time out. Recent form can often count for plenty in these types of races, so he edges the vote over Monsieur Fantaisie, who wasn’t beaten far on his latest outing. Hannah’s Return should appreciate the return to an artificial surface and is another to keep onside, while Fristel completes the shortlist.

Leading course trainer (17-22): R Hughes (45 wins from 233 runners, 19%) runs FAST DANSEUSE

Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): A Watson (8 wins from 41 runners, 20%) runs MONSIEUR FANTAISIE

PLAY SMARTER

HANNAH’S RETURN seemed to get bogged down on heavy ground at Windsor 17 days ago and now returned to the AW she is taken to get back on the up. This is competitive though, with Monsieur Fantaisie not yet exposed for Archie Watson, while a good pace would bring habitual-slow starter Billian into the equation.

FISCAL POLICY

Spanish Angel

PLAY SMARTER

FISCAL POLICY was just touched off back from a break at Kempton last week and he is likely to prove a tough nut to crack reverting to the minimum trip off the same mark here Next on the list is Mustaffiz, who has found just one too good on 3 of his last 4 starts and could again be in line for the runner-up spot. Tomshalfbrother’s well-being has to be taken on trust following a 13-month absence but he will have a fighting chance if fully tuned-up.

CITY SELECTIONS

Softening ground conditions might have been the undoing of PATERNOSTER SQUARE, who was well supported ahead of his Thirsk debut last month. The son of Invincible Spirit ought to have learnt from that experience, though, and he might be able to take a marked step forward today Stablemate Owl Island is related to some smart types and makes appeal from his low draw, while the Charlie Hills-trained Sugar Hill is another that warrants serious consideration.

CITY SELECTIONS

This could go the way of previous C&D winner ANIFICAS BEAUTY, who kept on well to win over 6f at this track on her latest outing. She has to shoulder a 5lb penalty for that success, but Harry Davies negates most of that rise with his 3lb claim and she must be respected with that in mind. Monaadhil scored over C&D last month and can give the selection most to think about off 2lb higher. Triggered completes the shortlist.

ANIFICAS BEAUTY looked better than ever when scoring over C&D on her return from a break, and arguably surpassed that when following up off 6lb higher back here over 6f a week ago. She is taken to complete the hat-trick with Harry Davies booked. Gary Moore’s charge may have most to fear from Monaadhil, who enhanced his good record here when striking over C&D last month. Triggered should also be on the premises but this drop back in trip may not be ideal for Mr Marvlos.

Denied by a fairly narrow margin at Nottingham last week, TEMPERED SOUL gets the vote on his return to the all-weather He finished a creditable fourth over a mile at Kempton on his racecourse bow in March, and the fact he been given a speculative entry for the King Edward VII Stakes at Royal Ascot must warrant a lot of respect.

CITY SELECTIONS

KENTUCKY KINGDOM has filled the runner-up spot the last twice over C&D and has been raised just 2lb for those efforts, which still leaves him 2lb lower than his last winning mark back in February last year Therefore, the son of Camacho is still feasibly treated and can go close once more. The main threat could be Jenson Benson, who steps back up to this distance after finishing third over 7f last time and could have a say, along with C&D winner Star From Afarhh.

CITY SELECTIONS

A chance can be taken on EGOISTE, who showed improved form last time at Southwell when fifth in a first-time hood returning from a wind operation for the David Menuisier stable. The four-year-old could take another step forward, as he steps back up in distance and has Harry Davies on board claiming 3lb to aid his chances. Captain Pugwash remains on the same mark after his recent third at Wolverhampton, while Alice Kitty appears best of the remainder
