Chelmsford City Racecard – Saturday 30th September

Welcome to Gentlemen’s Night

We have a full evening of entertainment for you tonight with two pony races to start proceedings; these races are a fantastic spectacle and have provided the route into a future career in racing for some of our top jockeys. Then we have a bumper card of eight races, featuring some interesting two-year-old races for the first half of the card, for which it is always worth paying a visit to the paddock to inspect them before making your selection.

As soon as the racing is over, head over to the Summer Marquee for a live DJ set from the radio and television presenter, Chris Moyles.

Chris was hugely popular last year and he should not be missed.

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.

THE ILLUMINATE CHRISTMAS BALL

NURSERY HANDICAP STAKES

(CLASS 6)

A difficult puzzle to solve and a chance is taken on BIRKIE BOY, who has been knocking on the door of late and this looks a good opportunity to get his head in front. Stan Moore’s runner has been dropped 1lb for his modest third over 7f at Lingfield last time and this mark can be exploited. Tenyatta is feared most, while better can be expected of Desert Raider.

A chance is taken on PROFECTUS, who isn’t badly bred and hinted on his Newmarket debut back in June that he’ll do better at some stage. Serendipitous Lady is another who may improve now tackling nurseries, while Mist of Lir could also have a say if returning to the pick of his form.

CITY SELECTIONS

This contest seems to revolve around the performance of DEIRA MILE, who has made a pleasing start to his career and is fancied to shed his maiden tag. Charlie Johnston’s charge shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on into third over 1m at Doncaster earlier this month and more improvement appears likely. A son of Masar, Prince Rasam rates as the biggest danger on debut, while Capla Mojo heads the remainder

Charlie Johnston’s son of Camelot DEIRA MILE holds the clear edge on form and with this step up to 1m2f also looking a positive he is hard to side against. Capla Mojo appeals as the one to chase him home on the back of his Yarmouth debut fifth ahead of newcomer Prince Rasam.

CITY SELECTIONS

Super Schwartz ran a nice race when only narrowly beaten into third over 5f at this venue last time, and this extra yardage is likely to suit. Richard Hughes’ charge is fancied to confirm the form with the reopposing Nouveaux (fourth) despite the latter being on 1lb better terms. However, it is SURFACE TO AIR who gets the nod after running his best race to date when third over 5f at Chepstow last time.

CITY SELECTIONS

FAIR ANGELLICA was value for further when triumphing from an unfavourable position on her debut at Kempton earlier this month, and Richard Hughes’ filly looks more than capable of completing a double. Perfect View hasn’t been seen since striking at the first time of asking at Windsor back in May, but likely has more to offer on the step up in distance. Morindoo and My Noble Lord are a couple of newcomers to keep an eye on.

FAIR ANGELLICA overcame a slow start to make a successful debut at Kempton recently and, with improvement expected, she’s up to defying a penalty. Morindoo is the pick of the newcomers on paper, and Perfect View is another one open to improvement.

THE WAITING GAME has proved a revelation since dropping to 6f and, despite being 7lb higher than last month’s completed hat-trick, the four-year-old still looks ahead of her mark. Munificent regained the winning thread at Wolverhampton and is one to be wary of upped only 4lb in the ratings, while Araifjan is a potential improver having undergone a wind operation since his fourth-placed finish at the Midlands venue.

Sun Festival is likely to prove popular after getting back on the scoresheet over C&D recently However, a 3lb rise in the ratings could leave the son of Toronado vulnerable, with CHAGALL making most appeal. The seven-year-old recorded a career-best performance when winning over this trip in July and subsequent efforts in defeat over a mile haven’t been devoid of promise. The unexposed Frankfreya gained a breakthrough success here last month and is also considered.

FRANKREYA upped his game to score over C&D last time and, although he had nothing to spare, there’s likely more improvement in him with few miles on the clock, so he takes preference over Sunset In Paris in an open race. Chagall is another one to consider

It could be worth taking a chance on handicap debutante BRAZEN GIRL, particularly if the market speaks in her favour She has merely hinted at ability in three qualifying runs but has been handed a lowly opening mark as a consequence. El Hibri is an obvious threat in current form and he rates the main danger ahead of Last Date, who has gained all three of his career wins here and is lurking on a dangerous mark.

Stewards Note:

STARJIK: Following its run on 14/9/2023 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

Probable S.P’s: 10-3 Under Curfew (GB), 11-2 Tilsworth Ony Ta (GB), 7-1 Golden Moon (GB), 15-2 Voodoo Ray (IRE), 17-2 Admirable Lad (GB), 10-1 Eyes (IRE), 12-1 Starjik (GB), 22-1 Q Twenty Boy (IRE), 25-1 Deep Spirit (GB), 28-1 Delagate The Lady (GB), 50-1 Moveonup (IRE), 66-1 Tammany Hall (IRE)

UNDER CURFEW arrives here on a long losing run but he has been knocking on the door of late and perhaps the addition of cheekpieces will help him deservedly get his head back in front. Golden Moon left the impression that sprinting could be his thing when fourth over 7f here recently and he is feared, while Eyes is third choice ahead of Admirable Lad and Voodoo Ray.

TIMEFORM PREDICTION: 1.UNDER CURFEW 2.GOLDEN MOON 3.EYES (IRE)
