Chelmsford City Racecard - Tuesday 25th July

Evening Racing

Tuesday 25th July 2023

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

Some of you may have noticed that the going tonight is classified as ‘standard to slow’ rather than the more usual ‘standard’. The all-weather course has undergone a complete overhaul during the last couple of weeks, which has involved a substantial amount of work. Firstly, the material was brought from the outside to the inside to level the course, then the track was turned over, bringing the bottom material to the top before the track being completely re-waxed to bind all the material together more effectively.

This work is an essential part of keeping the course in good condition but until the surface beds down it may be that the times tonight will be marginally slower than usual, hence the change in the going description. The change will be minimal and possibly non-existent but we felt that it was prudent to highlight the situation and to inform you of our commitment to the course.

We have good fields tonight and competitive racing, so I wish you the best of luck finding some winners and I hope you have an enjoyable evening.

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

BUNGLE BAY earned a narrow Wolverhampton success two weeks ago and he does not look overburdened by a subsequent 3lb rise in the handicap. Joe Leavy gave the four-year-old a positive ride from the front that day and, berthed to attack in stall one here, he could repeat the dose. A winner in classified company last time, Kodi Dancer merits respect, while others to note include Jumira Bridge and handicap-debutant Dunmore East.

BUNGLE BAY got back to winning ways at Wolverhampton last time and with that form having been franked he is taken to defy a 3lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of C&D scorer Jumira Bridge, who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when sixth at the same track on his most recent start. Viewfromthestars is another who can go well in his bid for a first victory.

CITY SELECTIONS

It looks best to side with the Richard Hannon-trained MACANUDO, who sets the standard with an official rating of 76 The Invincible Spirit colt can strike at the fourth time of asking, having struck the woodwork on his last two starts. Commander Of Life did well to fill the runner-up spot at Lingfield last month after being slowly away, so he merits respect with that in mind. St Lukes Chelsea and Zipster appeal most of the newcomers.

CITY SELECTIONS

KITTEN GLOVES showed a decent level of ability across her three qualifying runs and was then far from disgraced on her handicap debut at Kempton 19 days ago. Eased 1lb in the ratings, she might be worth siding with, although Nuthatch is likely to provide stern opposition having been narrowly denied at Goodwood last month. Never This Way could prove to be better than an opening mark of 71 and he looks best placed to chase the pair home.

CITY SELECTIONS

Atlantic Dream was beaten a long way when third on his debut at Nottingham, but the three-year-old did look as if he would improve considerably for the experience. Arctic Mountain is a newcomer to note being related to numerous winners and he is worthy of a market inspection, as is ALEXANDRETTA. A beaten favourite over seven furlongs at Salisbury recently, the extra furlong and return to the all-weather might see her get off the mark.

ALEXANDRETTA has run with credit on each of her three runs to date and she shapes as if this longer trip will suit, so she takes marginal preference over Motriff, a notable newcomer for a top stable. Arctic Mountain is also considered.

CITY SELECTIONS

Inverinate has been running well of late with a success here over seven furlongs in June followed by two second-placed finishes. He can go well, but a chance is taken on WILDE AND DANDY, who strolled home in a similar race at Doncaster in June before a sixth at Newmarket. Daarree is also of interest having been gelded since his last run and with a first-time visor added.
