Chelmsford Racecard - Thursday 6th June

Thursday 6th June 2024

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

On, what is forecast to be, a lovely summer’s evening, we look forward to a fantastic eight-race card, featuring some exciting racing with great finishes. This evening’s meeting is the last fixture before our Ladies’ Day on Thursday, 20th June, which, for many people, is the highlight of our year.

Gates open on Ladies’ Day at 11.30am, with the first race scheduled for 2.15pm and carrying on until 5.20pm, then the live music begins with Beverley Knight on stage, followed by a DJ set from Denise van Outen. Denise will also be hosting our best-dressed competition. It promises to be a day to remember, so please come and join us for a day of racing and entertainment.

Have a lovely evening and we hope to see you back in a couple of weeks.

Neil Graham Racing Director

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

The penny dropped late on for HOLBROOK on his debut when he finished sixth at Leicester last month. Ollie Sangster’s juvenile overcame his inexperience to finish his race off well and, with normal improvement, he could be the one to beat. Glitterati is bred for speed and he goes for Archie Watson, who can ready one first time out, so he has to be considered with Luke Morris booked. Lockwood completes the shortlist.

CITY SELECTIONS

BRIAN went into many notebooks when he finished fourth at Windsor last month and he would have learned a great deal from that experience. With normal progression, he ought to go close, with his main threat possibly being Lovestruck Romeo, who has the plum draw in stall one and has produced two solid efforts in his career so far, including his third at Salisbury last time. Any market support for Cool Hoof Luke would be interesting too.

Stewards Note:

2023:(See Div 1)

BRIAN: Following its run on 20/5/2024 it was reported that the horse was denied a clear run late-on.

Probable S.P’s: 4-1 Brian (IRE), 5-1 Lovestruck Romeo (GB), 6-1 Enchanted Eye (GB), 13-2 Cool Hoof Luke (GB), 10-1 Invincible Crown (IRE), Flor Do Rio (IRE), 16-1 Diomed Duke (GB), 18-1 Perfect Sight (GB), 25-1 Freak Encounter (IRE), Pay Attention (GB), 66-1 Adelaide Bay (GB)

BRIAN finished with running left after meeting trouble when fourth on debut at Windsor recently so, granted better luck in-running, Sylvester Kirk’s colt is fancied to get off the mark at the expense of debutant Cool Hoof Luke, who represents the in-form Andrew Balding yard and ticks plenty of boxes on paper This step up in trip should suit Lovestruck Romeo so he can edge out sole filly Flor Do Rio for third.

FURTHER MEASURE has been unfortunate to occupy the runner-up berth over 2m here on each of his last two starts, but he is only 2lb higher for those efforts. He should have no issues with this drop in trip and looks the one to beat.

CITY SELECTIONS

ALPEN POWER gets the nod. Charlie Johnston’s charge finished down the field in a Newmarket handicap most recently, but he was an unlucky loser at Newcastle prior to that and returning to an artificial surface looks ideal. Faayzah is the likely pace angle into the race and a bold showing would come as no surprise, while last-time-out winner Clear Storm completes the shortlist upped 3lb.

CITY SELECTIONS

600,000-pound purchase TEN DIMES will have learned a lot from her victory over a mile at Newcastle in April, setting her own fractions before going on to score cosily, and it would be no surprise if this No Nay Never filly, who holds a Ribblesdale entry, completes a double. Precious Jewel may emerge as the main danger to the selection dropping in trip after an impressive victory over 1m4f at Newmarket last month, while Upton, a sister to the top-class Kameko, is respected first time up.

CITY SELECTIONS

Roger Varian and Silvestre De Sousa are operating at a 24 percent strike-rate when teaming up this year, and MIGHTY NEBULA can provide them with another victory. He finished an excellent third under a penalty at Wolverhampton most recently and, stepping up in trip on his handicap debut, he looks the one to be with. The hat-trick seeking Endless Power can give the selection most to think about, while Lord Protector also enters calculations.

PLAY SMARTER

SALAAMAAT showed improved form stepped up to this trip when splitting a pair of subsequent winners at Wolverhampton in March so can go one better off the same mark. Sergeants Legacy made a positive start to life in handicaps when second at Kempton and rates the main threat ahead of Garden View, who’s worth another chance back on AW.
