Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

This evening marks the beginning of our busy autumn period and, as the nights are drawing in, this is also our first floodlit fixture. The weather is forecast to be kind to us, so we look forward to being able to enjoy our nine-race card, for most of the evening, in the late summer sunshine.

The evening kicks off with the Fegentri World Championship Handicap, in which gentlemen riders from twenty ﬁve different countries are eligible to ride; this race has a truly international contingent competing with riders from Ireland, Czech Republic, France, Italy and Spain as well as two from Great Britain doing battle tonight.

Winners will be hard to find tonight with ninety five horses declared but I wish you the best of luck in finding a winner or two.

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

THE BAY WARRIOR recorded a comfortable success at Southwell earlier this month and subsequent 4lb rise looks fair Mark Usher’s charge, a multiple winner over C&D, will not want to be slowly away as can sometimes be the case but, if breaking on terms, he can go in again. Silver Nightfall was narrowly denied over a mile at Lingﬁeld on Saturday and has every chance of gaining compensation, while Platinum Prince appeals most of the remainder

CITY SELECTIONS

Lion Ring made most when successful at Lingfield recently and he merits respect under a penalty, but a chance is taken on SANKARI. Recent form figures wouldn’t suggest he is a winner in waiting, but his handicap mark is reflective of that. The son of Ribchester drops in both trip and grade, with newly-applied cheekpieces. He is completely unexposed on the surface and should the headgear have a positive effect, he might represent some value. Thismydream is also noted.

Hard to make a compelling case for any of these but stall 1 and this sharp 5f is probably just what THE DEFIANT needs so he gets the tentative nod. Thismydream is more likely than most to give his running, with Man On A Mission another to consider back from a break.

CITY SELECTIONS

There has been no stopping KINETIC of late and she arrives having completed her hat-trick at Musselburgh. James Owen’s ﬁlly has been raised a further 4lb but given that she has scope for further progress at this longer trip, it would come as no surprise were she to defy it. Standbackandlook was unable to pick up off a steady pace at Nottingham but he remains in good heart and is an obvious candidate. Delta Legend’s latest efforts would suggest a step up in distance will suit.

DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2023: NO CORRESPONDING RACE

Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 1, 6.

Stewards Note:

LE ROUGE CHINOIS: Following its run on 29/8/2024 it was reported that the horse was restless in the stalls.

Probable S.P’s: 11-8 Saint Riquier (FR), 9-2 Kinetic (IRE), 13-2 Beautiful Crown (GB), 7-1 Standbackandlook (GB), 8-1 Le Rouge Chinois (DEN), 16-1 Delta Legend (IRE), 22-1 Manu Et Corde (IRE)

SAINT RIQUIER (due to be 10lb higher in future) didn’t ﬁnd things panning out ideally when runner-up in his hat-trick bid at Brighton 2 days ago, yet wisely turned out quickly, he’s well worthy of another chance to get back to winning ways. Standbackandlook and Kinetic, who has thrived since joining James Owen, head the dangers.

BLUE COLLAR LAD was only beaten a head into second over 7f at Lingﬁeld a couple of weeks ago and the ﬁve-year-old merits the utmost respect on the back of that effort, despite a 2lb rise. Q Twenty Boy has not been disgraced on either start since winning over 5f here in mid-August and he should not be discounted, while Lewis Barnes and Poetic Jack are also noted.

LEWIS BARNES produced one of his better efforts for his current yard when runner-up at this course on his penultimate start, so with blinkers applied he is taken to leave his latest run behind having eased further in the weights. Don’t Fight It is also on a handy mark and could be the main danger, with Blue Collar Lad also considered.

CUT TO THE CHASE remains unexposed and made the frame when third on his handicap bow at Brighton. With that in mind, he just gets the vote off a 1lb lower mark ahead of Doves Of Peace, who hit the crossbar in a classiﬁed event at Lingﬁeld last time. Comedian Leader is another with valid form claims, while Irrelevant is the pick of the remainder.

CITY SELECTIONS

MASTER DANDY responded well for Jack Doughty when landing an apprentices’ race over 6f at Lingﬁeld last week and, given he is 3lb well-in after that ﬁrst handicap success, it should pay to stick with the James Fanshawe-trained gelding, with the longer trip a potential source of further progression. Thapa VC and All Agleam have been holding their form well and have solid chances, while The Waiting Game is dangerous to underestimate.

MASTER DANDY showed improved form to resume winning ways at Lingﬁeld under this rider last week and can further enhance his solid record on the AW off the same mark (due to go up 3lb). It surely won’t be long before Jackson Street gets off the mark judged on his excellent second at Newcastle recently and is next best ahead of the in-form Thapa Vc.

CITY SELECTIONS

SAIGON DREAM progressed from his debut run when a close second to an 80-rated rival at Kempton last month and, with further improvement likely now he steps up to a mile, this is well within reach for the son of Oasis Dream at this stage. Mr Grimes (second) finished a length in front of Mauchline (fifth) in a Lingfield maiden a fortnight ago and can give the selection some food for thought with a step forward.

CITY SELECTIONS

A big run was obviously expected from FOREVER PROUD when a well-supported favourite on her debut for James Owen at Lingﬁeld last week and although she came up just short, that third-placed ﬁnish was an encouraging enough effort to give her another chance as she turns out quickly from the same mark. H Key Lails is effective on Polytrack and is feared most from a handy rating. Takes Time and Heerathetrack are other notable contenders.
