Chelmsford Racecard - Thursday 14th September

Evening Racing

Thursday 14th September 2023

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

This evening, we have an eight-race card for you, sponsored by Hills Prospect. There are seven competitive-looking handicaps plus a fascinating novice stakes at 6.00 pm.

The novice race features some horses with impressive pedigrees and price tags to match, which should indicate that it is a race worth following for the future. Charlie Appleby’s Dubawi gelding, Stormy Waves, cost 525,000 gns, Richard Hannon’s Kodiac colt, Odin Legacy, cost 575,000 euros, Sir Mark Prescott’s Frankel colt, Baraq, cost 300,000 gns and Marco Botti’s Kingman colt, Al Mootamarid, cost 270,000 gns.

Lightly-raced two year olds racing over a mile at this time of year suggests that they are likely to improve with age and, possibly, over longer distances, so it will be a fascinating race to watch, particularly if one of them wins impressively.

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

MOSTALLIM has won over this course and distance before and it would be no surprise to see him go well in a race of this nature. There may be more to come from Rhythmic Acclaim, who was sent off favourite here last time but she was slowly away on that occasion and could bounce back. However, Brilliant Blue has been running well enough in defeat of late and may prove to be the biggest danger

MOSTALLIM wasn’t at his best when racing without his usual headgear here last time but blinkers are back on now and he’s selected to land a second C&D win of the year Northern raider Starjik has a first, second and third to show from his 3 visits here so he’s a must for the shortlist. Big Time Maybe could also have a say if a lesser run last time is forgiven.

CITY SELECTIONS

LOOBY bolted up on her nursery debut over an extended 5f at Brighton last week and the daughter of Havana Grey looks to be well ahead of her mark under a 6lb penalty here Scoops Ahoy is an obvious danger based on the pick of his form and he may give the selection most to do. There could be more to come from Nouveaux now that she moves into handicap company and Hollie Doyle is an eye-catching booking.

LOOBY justified good support when readily off the mark in a Brighton nursery 10 days ago and wisely turned out under a penalty, she looks the one to beat switched to the all-weather. Scoops Ahoy can give her most to think about.

CITY SELECTIONS

On both starts to date, BLOWN AWAY has shaped as if this step up to a mile would bring about some improvement and he can get off the mark at the third attempt. The unexposed Stormy Waves is likely to be in the mix once again and he may improve for a recent gelding operation. Baraq, a son of Frankel, is a fascinating newcomer and requires a market check, while similar comments apply to Chelsea Harbour

2022: NO CORRESPONDING RACE

AL MOOTAMARID: Following its run on 30/6/2023 it was reported that the horse was slowly away

STORMY WAVES: Following its run on 27/7/2023 it was reported that the horse hung left-handed.

Probable S.P’s: 11-4 Blown Away (GB), 7-2 Stormy Waves (IRE), 7-1 Al Mootamarid (IRE), 9-1 Fihrayn (IRE), 10-1 Chelsea Harbour (IRE), 12-1 Baraq (IRE), 14-1 Odin Legacy (IRE), 22-1 Dubai Venture (IRE), 80-1 Kapparis Kid (GB), 150-1 War Zone (IRE)

There was definite promise to glean from both of STORMY WAVES exploits in novice company on turf earlier this term and, having been gelded subsequently, it would come as no surprise to see him make a bold bid from a handy draw upped to 1m for the first time. That said, Blown Away has displayed plenty of promise himself and he’s a major danger for the John & Thady Gosden yard. Al Mootamarid and Let’s Dream are others expected to be thereabouts.

It’s still relatively early days where MY OPINION is concerned and he is appealing now upped to a mile on the back of a promising effort at Wolverhampton. Doves of Peace and Elusive Tiger are other low-mileage types with decent claims, while last year’s winner Laurentia needs considering, for all that she’s yet to fire since joining the Laura Mongan yard.

Bo Taifan shaped as if this step back up in trip would suit when sixth over 7f at Wolverhampton last month and he is likely to be thereabouts, but preference is for SHABS. Joseph Parr’s charge showed a willing attitude when scoring in classified company over course and distance last time and he can follow up that win here. El Royale edges out Clandestinely to be best of the rest.

PLAY SMARTER

The vote goes to BO TAIFAN, who wasn’t seen to best effect back from a break at Wolverhampton but was in good form prior to that, landing a 7f handicap here and a 1m minor event at Lingfield earlier in the summer On the latter occasion he cosily beat the re-opposing Shabs and a 3lb swing is unlikely to be enough for that rival to turn the tables. Still, Shabs, who finally got his head in front over C&D 3 weeks ago, is clear second choice ahead of El Royale and Golden Moon.

JUSTCALLMEPETE was a good winner over course and distance last time and this looks like a good opportunity to follow up that success. James Evans’ gelding enjoyed the return to the all weather that day and a 5lb rise in the ratings may not be enough to halt his progression. Open Mind is on a workable mark based on the pick of his form and the four-year-old should not be underestimated, while Batal Dubai can also hit the frame.

The one who appeals most is SUN FESTIVAL, who has come up short both starts subsequent to his Brighton romp in July but he remains feasibly treated and this race won’t take a great deal of winning.
