Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 25th May

Chelmsford City Racecourse

This evening marks the re-opening of our Club Restaurant and Lounge, located upstairs in the Grandstand, after a complete refurbishment.

Last year, the Fairwood Brasserie had a makeover to give it a fresher, more up-to-date feel, which has proved very popular with our customers and we wanted to update the Club Restaurant and Lounge. We have attempted to blend a more traditional feel in a contemporary style, accompanied by modern technology.

As ever, we shall strive to offer you the very best of haute cuisine with the most attentive of service and we hope that we can look after you in one of our restaurants in the not-too-distant future.

In the meantime, I hope you have enjoyable evening tonight and, perhaps, even manage to find a winner or two

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 on his racecourse debut over C&D last month, ROGUE DE VEGA could now have more to offer with that experience under his belt and Tom Clover’s three-year-old can break his maiden at the second time of asking. Newcomer Make Clear appears to be the biggest threat to the selection, especially given her dam scored over C&D during her career. Kanohi Breeze is another to bear in mind dropping in trip.

PLAY SMARTER

ROGUE DE VEGA couldn’t live with a useful rival when second on his C&D debut but it’s very doubtful there’s anything of a similar calibre in this line-up and he can strike at the second time of asking. Kanohi Breeze should strip fitter for this month’s comeback outing and can give Tom Clover’s charge most to think about unless the betting vibes are strong surrounding Robert Cowell newcomer Make Clear

CITY SELECTIONS

It could pay to side with SIR RODNEYREDBLOOD, who makes his return to the all-weather following a below-par run at Newmarket over 6f earlier this month. He is now rated 6lb above his last winning mark, but finished a creditable second at Lingfield on his penultimate run off 1lb lower and has leading claims on that form. Dark Side Prince scored over this trip at Southwell in February and is feared, along with last-start Newcastle winner Prodigious Blue.

CITY SELECTIONS

Enfjaar got up late over 7f at Newmarket to win his only start last October and he may be the biggest danger to ART OF ROMANCE. Second to Covey on his debut, the winner has scored easily since to frank the form and normal improvement for that introduction may be all he needs. Of the others, it could be worth keeping an eye on Lion Tamer, who is likely a lot better than his latest Lingfield fifth.

RACE)

Nigiri caught the eye when fourth on her Newmarket debut and if she has strengthened up over the winter, she could be a major player here Leading Lion looks an interesting newcomer with the Gosdens doing so well with their Roaring Lion progeny and he looks worthy of a market check, but FLY ZONE is still preferred. Showing signs of inexperience at Yarmouth on his return when a six-length second, he should only improve with more racing and this may be his best opportunity yet.

PLAY SMARTER

Although FLY ZONE couldn’t live with a smart prospect at Yarmouth earlier this month he still showed more than enough to think a race like this should be within his grasp. Leading Lion is a well-bred newcomer from the Gosden stable and would be a threat if the betting vibes are strong, although his draw isn’t an easy one for a debutant. Nigiri showed promise on last autumn’s Newmarket debut and also makes the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS

John Butler has won this contest before, suggesting recent Newcastle winner Martineo could go well off 1lb higher, but preference is for MONAADHIL. Three times a C&D winner, he pulled too hard when third here last time out and could get back to winning ways if he is allowed to pounce late. Cappananty Con arrives in good nick and should also be thereabouts.

CITY SELECTIONS

A maiden until breaking through at Wolverhampton in March, Billian has shown he knows what to do to get his head in front and, having registered another victory in an amateur riders’ race here a fortnight ago, the five-year-old can go close off just 3lb higher However, JUNGLE RUN has also shown zest lately and, off just 2lb higher than for a C&D win here last March, he is a touch more appealing at this level. Tomshalfbrother looks best of the rest.

PLAY SMARTER

TOMSHALFBROTHER clearly hasn’t been the easiest to train but has proven his capabilities from this kind of mark in the past and can build on a really promising return with De la Sayette on board. Billian has found a new level of consistency recently and should give another good account despite another rise in the weights, whilst Laertes remains lightly raced and is one to note on the betting with a recent run under his belt.

THE LADIES DAY WITH BANANARAMA

STAKES (CLASS 6)

Alice Kitty has form that ties in with a few of these and is likely to be a key player, having just fended off the likes of Bold And Loyal (second) and Star Of St Louis (third) when winning over C&D a fortnight ago. Admittedly, that wasn’t the strongest of races but she still appeals off just 2lb higher Nevertheless, CALCUTTA DREAM, who is also a previous C&D winner, holds a more solid profile over the trip and could take some stopping on these terms.
