Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 22nd June

Ladies Day

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse on Ladies Day, during which we have a thrilling afternoon and evening planned for you. The day begins with a seven-race card, starting at 1.30pm, consisting of a fascinating two-year-old maiden, a maiden race for three- and four-year-olds and five intriguing handicaps.

Today is also the third day of Royal Ascot, and at the back of this programme, you will find Royal Ascot’s racecard. In particular, we turn our attention to American Rascal, running for trainer Wesley Ward who prepared for the race here just last week.

As soon as the action on the racecourse is over, our attention turns to the stage, where the evening begins with Bananarama, who were the most successful band of the 1980s, singing some of their greatest hits, from “It ain’t what you do” to their 1986 cover of “Venus”

The music continues straight afterwards with a much-anticipated DJ set by Gok Wan for you to dance the evening away.

I hope you have a truly wonderful day and that the weather remains kind to us.

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

James Tate is well represented here, saddling both Lightning Point, who shaped well on soft ground at Doncaster first time out, and newcomer Skilled Master For all that, better value may lie with STARLUST, who caught the eye in a hot race at Lingfield on his debut when forced to race wider than ideal. That experience won’t be lost on the Zoustar colt and he can continue the yard’s productive streak, with Mbappe another worthy of respect.

LIGHTNING POINT showed promise when third at Doncaster on his debut last month, a race won by Karl Burke’s smart prospect Elite Status, so he can build on that to open his account. Melisende has made the frame on all 3 of her starts so far and could be the main danger in first-time cheekpieces, with Starlust completing the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS

Tomshalfbrother and Munificent both bring Yarmouth-winning form into this race but preference is for LEVEL UP, who advertised his present well-being by only narrowly failing to get up at Windsor last time out. David Evans’ gelding is only 1lb higher than when scoring at Wolverhampton in April and this return to an artificial surface is likely to be appreciated. Libertus went close at Lingfield last time and should again make his present felt.

Third Race 2.40

CITY SELECTIONS

Pourquoi is likely to prove popular after going close over this trip at Windsor first time out. Similar comments apply to Huda Star, who shaped encouragingly when finishing fourth behind a couple of subsequent winners at Lingfield on her debut in April. For all that, preference is for PARADISE ROW, who has been crying out for this sort of trip on the evidence of two runs at Wolverhampton and Redcar

Preference is for HUDA STAR, who shaped well on debut at Lingfield, despite looking green, and she will be more street-wise this time. Pourquoi also made a positive start to her career in a Windsor novice and is next on the list ahead of Paradise Row. Hill Filly and Style of Life should both do better in time and newcomer Oh So Grand needs a close look in the betting.

Shockwaves was far too keen for his own good when upped to 1m4f at Kempton, and it was no surprise that he faded out of contention.

THEFASTNTHECURIOUS was denied by under a length last time over an extended 1m5f at this track, for which his mark is unchanged. The five-year-old attempts this distance for the first time, which could eke out the improvement needed to strike. The main threat is Home And Dry, who defied his huge odds last time at Kempton when running with great credit for fourth. Mukha Magic is another to note.

CITY SELECTIONS

One Step Beyond made his first start for his new yard a winning one when scoring by three lengths at Kempton over a mile, and he looks to have leading claims once more as he steps back up in distance. However, SONNERIE POWER gets the vote. The son of Almanzor was denied by just over two lengths when fourth last time at Newmarket behind two subsequent winners. Long Tradition also makes some appeal.

ELITE STATUS looked potentially out of the top drawer when bolting up in the National Stakes at Sandown and, with further progress surely in the pipeline, Karl Burke’s colt is fancied to remain unbeaten. Wesley Ward has won this race twice in the last decade and his American Rascal looks an obvious danger having scored by double-digits at Keeneland on debut Noche Magica and His Majesty met last month and are another couple to look out for

PLAY SMARTER

Stacks of potential improvers in what is invariably one of the hottest handicaps of the season. WONDER LEGEND gets the nod to gain some compensation for the narrow defeat of the same connections’ Deauville Legend in this race last year but there are any number of possible dangers, headed by London Gold Cup winner Bertinelli, who promises to relish the step up to 1 1/2m. Perfuse, Burglar and Davideo also make the shortlist

Still with fewer miles on the clock than most in this field, he’s taken to gain a second Royal Ascot success at the chief expense of the much-improved Coltrane, who has to be viewed positively after a tidy success in the Sagaro. 2021 winner Subjectivist and relatively unexposed Emily Dickinson complete the shortlist

PLAY SMARTER

Any number to consider, with BARADAR topping the shortlist having shaped with a lot of promise in a brace of good-quality handicaps this term, latterly in the Victoria Cup when forced to switch. Biggles was an excellent second in that aforementioned race over C&D and he seems sure to give it a good go, with low-mileage 4-y-o Kingdom Come capable of a bigger performance and highly respected also.
