In partnership with the Royal British Legion

REMEMBRANCE RACEDAY EVENING RACING

11 NOVEMBER 23

Official Programme £3.50

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse Today we are marking Remembrance Day by dedicating this evening’s racing in remembrance of those who gave their lives for our freedom in World War 1 and World War II. We are thrilled to be partnering with the Royal British Legion, and all profits from General Admission tickets will be donated to the charity.

We are also joined today by serving members and veterans of the Armed Forces who we are proud to welcome as our guests in appreciation for their ongoing service and sacrifice.

As we pay tribute to those who lost their lives, there will be a wreathlaying ceremony, a one-minute silence and a traditional bugle fanfare of The Last Post. We hope you will join us at the Parade Ring for this very special commemoration and poignant event at 4:00pm.

A special thank you and welcome to our guest of honour The Mayor of Chelmsford and her Consort along with The Royal British Legion volunteers and the performers who are contributing to this very special day.

I hope you enjoy some thrilling racing and entertainment and any donations you feel that you can give will be gratefully received by the very worthy Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal.

Have a great evening.

Jo Flaherty Head of Charity & Community For more information about any of our upcoming events please visit chelmsfordcityracecourse.com or call the office on 01245 360300.

Timeform Rating

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.

You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

CITY SELECTIONS QATAR MOON (second) finished a nose behind Machiavellian Lady over C&D in a thrilling finish last month and she is now 7lb better off with her rival from that day. The daughter of Study Of Man can progress further on only her third start to reverse that form and shed her maiden tag. As for the latter, she has her 7lb penalty to carry, which makes life tougher, but she is still likely to be thereabouts.

The African Queen will find this a lot easier than the Listed contest she struggled in at Sandown in July.

Tayala and Brighton-winner The African Queen are others likely to have a say.

CITY SELECTIONS PALAZZO PERSICO was sent off favourite when a half-length second over 7f here last week and he now takes a considerable step up in distance, which could suit him based on his finishing effort that day.

The son of Profitable could be ready to strike for the first time off a 1lb higher rating. Surging Tide was a close-up third on her handicap bow at Newcastle last time and it would be no surprise to see her have a say off a 1lb lower mark. Our Papa Smurf warrants a market check on his first crack at a handicap. : PALAZZO PERSICO

CITY SELECTIONS TRIBAL STAR was beaten five lengths into second on his debut at Newmarket last month and this well-bred son of Sea The Stars should have plenty more to offer with that experience under his belt. Therefore, he is taken to shed his maiden tag at the second time of asking on his first all-weather start. Poniros struck on his racecourse bow when favourite over the extended 1m at Nottingham in heavy conditions and he should put up a fight under a 7lb penalty, while any market confidence behind Chain Of Command should also be noted.

CITY SELECTIONS LIBERATED LAD returned to form with a close-up third at Newcastle nine days ago.

The gelded son of Muhaarar is able to compete from an unchanged mark today and a similar performance could see him regain the winning thread. Cavalluccio is just 2lb higher than for April’s C&D success and must enter calculations with that in mind, while Fiddlers Green, who hasn’t been with the John O’Shea team for long, is an interesting contender with Billy Loughnane aboard for the first time.

Fourth Race

CAVALLUCCIO caught the eye on his second start back from a break when third at Wolverhampton and looks ready to strike off his current mark. Liberated Lad is another to consider after his strong-finishing PLAY SMARTER third at Newcastle 9 days ago, with Eljaytee best of the others.

CITY SELECTIONS FLOWER OF DUBAI has been knocking on the door in recent starts and the New Approach filly, who has two wins from her three all-weather appearances, is expected to get back on track now returned to an artificial surface. Different Tone makes plenty of appeal from the foot of the handicap, along with Le Rouge Chinois, who finished a creditable third on his first start for Breeders’ Cup-winning trainer Michael Appleby and improvement ought to be in the offing.

(Penalty Value £6621) Weights raised 1lb and paragraphs 27 to 31 of the Weights and Handicapping Code complied with where applicable.

CITY SELECTIONS A host of in-form sprinters line up here, but none more so than THE WAITING GAME. Jack Jones’ four-year-old has gone up a total of 32lb in the handicap since winning a classified event in August, and a further 3lb rise for her latest C&D success might not be enough to stop the filly today.

Buccabay doesn’t have many miles on the clock and he merits consideration now dropped in class, while others to consider include Shalaa Asker, Holkham Bay and Masterclass.

Sixth Race

Lots with chances. HOLKHAM BAY remains handily weighted despite going up 6lb for his recent Kempton success so is taken to follow up at the chief expense of Dare To Hope, who didn’t enjoy the rub of the green when eighth at Newcastle last time. The Waiting Game, PLAY SMARTER Cuban Breeze and Hello Me all have winning form here and need factoring into this competitive handicap too.

CITY SELECTIONS Moonspirit made most to score from a poor draw here last month and a 5lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent another bold bid with the cheekpieces retained. However, there is also a lot to like about the chances of DOUBLE TIME, who has held his form well on turf and he gets the nod reverting to the all-weather off just 3lb higher than his last winning mark (at Wolverhampton in March).

Larado and King Of Scotia complete the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS Cliffs Of Capri (fourth) and Amathus (fifth) meet on identical terms to their encounter at Kempton 17 days ago and rate as players given they drop in class this evening. However, TAMALUK has more scope and, having dropped to a competitive mark, could be worth chancing after a respectable third-placed finish in a deeper-looking fillies’ handicap over C&D a fortnight ago. My Opinion also tends to go well here and is another to seriously consider.
