TONIGHT’S RACING

TONIGHT’S SPONSOR

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

We have a seven-race card for you this evening with nineteen of the horses running having already won here previously; that winning experience on the course will give them a distinct advantage and we wish them the best of luck.

The second race does not have many runners but it is not short of interest with Charlie Appleby running a £1.8 million Dubawi gelding, John Gosden running a £160,000 filly for Lord and Lady Lloyd-Webber, George Boughey running a horse for the Niarchos family, Marco Botti running a €260,000 horse, Charlie Johnston running a Blue Point colt bred by Godolphin and Simon and Ed Crisford running a Street Sense horse bred by Rabbah Bloodstock. It will be worth a trip to the paddock to inspect these horses.

Good luck in finding some winners and 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.

CITY SELECTIONS

TWILIGHT GUEST can take a hold but Mikkel Mortensen has ridden him before, which will be a useful asset given the likelihood of a searching gallop. George Margarson’s four-year-old was on the back of a 140-day break when finishing a close second over C&D last week and that should have set him up nicely to go one place better here. Calcutta Dream and Kingwell are the pick of the rest.

CALCUTTA DREAM won a minor event over C&D in January and shaped best when collared late on at Wolverhampton last time, so in spite of a disadvantageous draw in stall 10, gets the nod to make amends for last month’s unfortunate defeat. Elterwater has shaped encouragingly under aggressive rides on her last 2 outings and the suspicion remains there’s a bigger effort in her, with Twilight Guest also respected.

Even though he cost 1.8 million guineas, VENETIAN STYLE was the lesser fancied of two stablemates on his Kempton debut and he ran green to finish fifth. However, the winner of that race - a 2000 Guineas entrant - emphatically boosted the form next time out, which bodes well for the selection now he has some experience, has been gelded, and goes with cheekpieces added. Sea Ice and Endosser jointly set the standard and appeal most from the rest.

PLAY SMARTER

ENDOSSER is the most experienced runner in the line-up here and gets the nod. Sea Ice was a creditable second of 8 in a maiden at Newcastle16 days ago and is next best. It’s perhaps concerning Venetian Style was gelded so quickly after his debut having cost nearly 2 million gns as a foal but he should know more this time and is the pick for third.

TEN O’CLOCK has been close up on both of her last two starts and with Saffie Osborne presumably choosing her over stablemate Tenet, there are solid reasons to expect a bold showing. So Obsessed rates the chief danger, given she was too keen over 6f on her handicap debut at Wolverhampton, and certainly looks worth a try over the minimum trip. Ludberg is also considered with a first-time visor added.

BENEFICIARY successfully justified favouritism by a length over C&D last month, and a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent him recording a double. Boom The Groom is only 3lb higher than his last winning mark and he has Luke Morris back on board, so more can be expected compared to his fifth at Lingfield last time. Of the remainder, New Hope Bullet makes the most appeal in first-time blinkers.

AWESOME SPIRIT took a step back in the right direction when filling the runner-up berth over 7f here in January and he has since undergone wind surgery. Mick Appleby’s four-year-old remains on the same mark and looks well placed to shed his maiden tag. Come On Girl, who was only beaten a neck into second over track and trip last month, has to be respected, while Mine That Ship is another to consider on her first start for the Michael Wigham yard.

AWESOME SPIRIT put in his most encouraging effort for current connections when finishing runner-up over 7f here a couple of months ago and now back sprinting, Mick Appleby’s 4-y-o is fancied to open his account on the back of a breathing operation. Stablemate Come On Girl is holding her form really well, so she’s put forward as the main threat, ahead of Sumac and Vitalline.

BRUNEL CHARM bounced back to form with the blinkers left off when finishing runner-up at Kempton last month, so Lee Carter’s relatively new recruit gets the nod to go one better and snap a losing streak closing in on a couple of years.

ISLAND NATIVE did it well when making all at Lingfield, and a 6lb rise looks manageable as he aims to notch up a third career success. That may be at the main expense of Once Adaay, who disappointed at Newcastle but has won his only two previous starts here Conquest Of Power (second) has two lengths to make up on the selection from their Lingfield encounter but will appreciate a return to this track, having scored over C&D in January.

ISLAND NATIVE looks the most solid option on the back of a pretty decisive success at Lingfield where he proved 2 lengths too strong for Conquest of Power A 6lb rise for that looks manageable and he may well benefit from a soft lead. Conquest of Power can be expected to give another good account but Golden Passport, who has edged down to an attractive mark, is feared most.
