Chelmsford City Racecard - Thursday 9th May

Thursday 9th May 2024

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

Good evening, and welcome back to Chelmsford Racecourse for another thrilling night of racing. We have an exciting lineup of six races tonight, with some notable entries and intriguing storylines to follow.

First, a warm welcome to Gary and Josh Moore, the new trainer pair, as they debut here at Chelmsford. With Josh’s illustrious career as a jockey, we’re excited to see how the duo will fare, and eyes will be on their entry, Anificas Beauty, in the opening race of the evening.

In the second race, the l’Arc de Triomphe winning combination of Jockey Luke Morris and Trainer Sir Mark Prescott reunite with Kinematica. They’ll face a strong challenge from Robert Havlin aboard D Flawless, who will be determined to improve on a second place finish last time out.

Also, keep an eye on Hajara in race four, trained by Roger Varian who is fresh from winning the 1000 Guineas on Saturday, and The African Queen in race five, aiming to continue her impressive form and secure her third consecutive win.

We wish them the best of luck, and I hope you have a lovely evening.

Sponsor Form Comment

Timeform Rating

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

Megan Jordan rode the winner of a similar race at Salisbury last weekend and, with her confidence likely to be high, there could be more success on the horizon if Q TWENTY BOY continues to flourish on the back of last month’s return to form at Wolverhampton. Due Date and Amaysmont can also go well, but Alfred Cove might pose a bigger threat off 3lb below his last winning mark.

CITY SELECTIONS

Lakota Spirit has displayed promise on each of her two previous starts and is one to monitor closely in the betting for an in-form yard. However, D FLAWLESS, whose dam won a Listed race over this trip, wasn’t beaten far by a rival now rated 83 on her debut at Kempton in December and that run sets a decent standard. Highland Lil and Spook are a couple of others to bear in mind.

D FLAWLESS pulled clear of the rest when only just edged out by one with previous experience at Kempton in December so looks the one to beat. Lakota Spirit confirmed debut promise when second at Kempton on her return and is the obvious threat, while Kinematica offered something to work on at Wolverhampton and will be suited by this extra furlong.

CITY SELECTIONS

Wannabe Brave won with something in hand at Wolverhampton 12 days ago and is high on the shortlist off just 4lb higher Nevertheless, this is a deeper race and, as he has never previously raced at this venue, James Fanshawe’s gelding is taken on with proven course winner SMOKEY MALONE. The selection is unexposed over this trip and carrying top-weight might not be enough to prevent a first C&D success. Easy Equation completes the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS

SANT ALESSIO presumably shows plenty at home because he has been sent off favourite on both starts, having to settle for the runner-up spot twice. There has been nothing wrong with his attitude on either occasion, but being gelded should help harness his potential and he can get off the mark on his return. Tabletalk was only beaten a length into third by a good winner on his Kempton debut and has more scope for improvement than Belcamo. Mycoloursoryours is worth a look, while Hajara is an interesting newcomer

CITY SELECTIONS

Last week’s Brighton winner The African Queen is an obvious contender under her penalty, while Marefuori has been knocking on the door They come up against some interesting handicap debutants, though, not least REACHING HIGH, whose comeback sixth at Windsor gives him an edge in match practice over Crimson Road. Blessed Boy and Primo Lara also have a run under their belts and look fairly treated now into handicap company

CITY SELECTIONS

CONQUEST OF POWER has been hit with a 9lb hike for last week’s Lingfield triumph so is 4lb well-in under his penalty. He isn’t absolutely guaranteed to perform to the same level, but won with so much up his sleeve that he must be stuck with. Heerathetrack and Alexander James took minor honours over C&D recently and are capable of getting involved again. Thomas Equinas excelled at this venue towards the end of his last campaign so has to be considered closely too.

ALEXANDER JAMES shaped well from too far back here last time and he’s potentially thrown in on old form, so he’s worth taking a chance on in a hope that they go quick enough up front. Mark Usher-trained pair Conquest of Power and Heerathetrack are both formidable opponents.
