Evening Racing Thursday 21st December 2023
Official Programme £3.50
Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse MERRY CHRISTMAS! Welcome to our last fixture of a very busy and enjoyable 2023. We have staged some fantastic racing during the year and this evening we have a nine-race card for you with exciting and competitive racing to round the year off. There is a full year of racing already scheduled for 2024, so please see our website for dates. We will be returning for racing on January 11th and during this month we also have our first Sunday Evening Fixture, which is likely to be popular. I would advise booking early to be sure of a seat in one of our restaurants on 21st January to be part of this new racing experience. Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from myself and all the staff at Chelmsford City Racecourse.

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.

CITY SELECTIONS This is all about GUY FAWKES as he bids to follow up his success over 7f at Southwell on his racecourse debut last month. Jane Chapple-Hyam’s charge ran on well on that occasion and any amount of improvement can be expected. The biggest danger is D J Zanetti, who looked promising on his first racecourse start over 7f at Sandown, but that was in August 2022. Eadha looks booked for third. GUY FAWKES

CITY SELECTIONS A tentative vote goes to GOGO YUBARI, who had excuses when she finished fourth over 5f at Wolverhampton last time.

Via Blanca has finished second on each of her last two starts and she looks sure to run her race, while Bitcoin Profit should also feature. GOGO YUBARI

CITY SELECTIONS TWIRLER made a very pleasing start to her career when running on well over 6f at Newcastle on debut and plenty of improvement can be expected from Charlie Fellowes’ filly. The two-year-old was beaten under a length into third on that occasion and she’s entitled to take a step forward. Star Mind shed her maiden tag at the third time of asking over 7f at Wolverhampton and she appears likely to offer another bold bid, while Pandora’s Gift rates best of the rest. TWIRLER

CITY SELECTIONS ANNAFEL took a nice step forward from his debut effort to fill the runner-up berth over an extended mile at Wolverhampton in October and he is likely to improve even further for that effort. The son of Blame drops back in distance, which shouldn’t pose him any problems and he can go one better. Newcomer Qazaq could prove to be the main danger after he changed hands for 300,000gns last year, while Pagliacci is noted too. ANNAFEL

CITY SELECTIONS DESERT RAIDER showed a liking for a first-time visor when justifying favouritism over C&D on his latest outing, and he has been raised just 3lb for that display. The son of Advertise has also been gelded since, so that could eke out even more. Notre Dame produced the best effort of her career so far to hit the frame over 6f here last month and should go well, while Terratino Fire is another to note. DESERT RAIDER

CITY SELECTIONS RIOT has been victorious over C&D the last twice, with the latest of those efforts coming in a Class 4 event. The six-year-old was raised 2lb for that victory and it would be no surprise to see him bring the hat-trick up. Top-weight Sterling Knight performed well for third in this grade at Lingfield earlier in the month and could get into contention, while Prince of Zenda struggled on heavy ground at Newmarket last month but could go well back on the all-weather.

CITY SELECTIONS Recent C&D winner DICKO THE LEGEND was unfortunate to have finished second over 5f at Wolverhampton last time, having been denied a clear run for some distance approaching the furlong pole.

CITY SELECTIONS PHILOS was said to have benefitted from the application of a first-time visor (retained) when winning over 1m4f at Kempton last month. The son of Teofilo was going away at the finish on that occasion, so he might have more to offer now upped in trip. Grand Duchess Olga continues to run well and she is unlikely to be far away, along with Royal Athena, who reverts to the Flat having posted a couple of decent performances, including a win, over hurdles recently.
