Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse On one of our rare Friday evening fixtures, we have a seven-race card for you tonight. The racing begins with a competitive race for amateur riders and continues with five more handicaps and a fascinating contest for novices. When trying to pick winners, I always remember the words of possibly the greatest breeder of thoroughbred racehorses, Federico Tesio, who was once described as the “Leonardo da Vinci of horse racing”, when he said: “A horse gallops with his lungs, perseveres with his heart, and wins with his character.”

I hope you have a lovely evening and succeed in finding some horses with strong characters!

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 Reverberation scored by just under a length when justifying favouritism over a mile here last month and he should go well off a 3lb higher rating now up in trip. However, the vote goes to PRINCE HECTOR, who was only headed inside the final furlong when finishing third over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last time and could appreciate the drop in distance off the same mark to go two places better. Escobedo completes the shortlist.

Reverberation is 2-2 here and remains fairly treated, so he has to be high on any shortlist, while Escobedo is best of the rest.

CITY SELECTIONS First-time blinkers eked out the improvement needed for Something To Do to shed his maiden tag at Lingfield last time and he can go well in his double bid, despite carrying a 6lb penalty.

However, preference is for FLOWERING, who finished last of the three at Kempton over 1m4f on her handicap bow last month, but she could have more to offer off a 1lb lower rating after only four starts.

Dire Wolf is another to note.

Second Race

LUNAR ROCKS was strong at the finish when fourth upped to a mile at Kempton recently and, with this further step up in trip a potentially good move, he could be the answer.

Something To Do has improved since being gelded/switched to handicaps and, effectively PLAY SMARTER 4lb ‘well-in’ here, he is greatly respected. Handicap-debutante Where Is The Love is best of the rest.

CITY SELECTIONS Al Wosol and Blazes Boylan both upset the favourite to shed their maiden tags in their respective latest outings, with a slight preference for the former’s victory at Wolverhampton.

However, they both carry a penalty and may struggle conceding weight to MUTASAWI, who has been gelded since he was last seen and he showed more than enough in his first three starts to suggest he could take a race of this nature.

(Penalty Value £4004)

CITY SELECTIONS Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success at Lingfield on Sunday, MAKE CLEAR should have plenty more improvement forthcoming, despite a 5lb penalty. This will be her first run over C&D since finishing runner-up on debut last May, and she gets the vote ahead of Cabeza De Llave and Boom Boom Pow, who has finished runner-up on three of her last four outings.

BOOM BOOM POW responded well to the fitting of a visor when finding just one too good over 6f here last month and, with this drop back to the minimum trip a potentially good PLAY SMARTER move, he looks the way to go. Make Clear got the job done at Lingfield recently and she is a much-respected main danger ahead of Cabeza de Llave.

CITY SELECTIONS Narrowly denied over C&D in December, NOTRE DAME may be able to gain compensation on this occasion for her in-form connections. A 2lb rise could prove lenient as she looks to get the better off Southwell winner Lady In Havana and Upper Hand, who must be monitored for market support on his first run for a new stable. Bitcoin Profit gives the impression that stepping up in trip will suit.
