TONIGHT’S SPONSORS

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

On our last meeting in January, we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead at the racecourse. We will be celebrating our 10th anniversary throughout this year with various events; in particular, on Thursday, 7th August, which will have the £45,000 Chelmsford City Cup as its feature race, we are launching a community initiative aimed at fostering local engagement and celebrating the community that has supported us over the last decade.

On this day, we will be offering complimentary tickets to recognise local heroes, support local businesses, build community connections and thank our members. We look forward to welcoming you during the year and to being part of our celebrations.

Have a great evening.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

TFRHHIII BHA-

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

All three of NUBOUGH’s previous wins were registered on Polytrack, including one at this venue. There have been signs of a revival of late and the nine-year-old could be worth chancing. Windsor Pass has generally been consistent, despite still searching for a breakthrough win after 29 attempts, and she should go well once again. Lord Danielson and Mashaan complete the shortlist.

Lending support to a 29-race maiden is rarely advisable but in the case of WINDSOR PASS an exception can be made. Indeed, the 7-y-o has hit the crossbar on three of her last four starts and she probably should’ve won over this C&D last time (left with too much to do). Almodovar del Rio has edged down to an attractive mark and could be the main danger, though Lord Danielson and Mashaan are also plausible candidates for that role.

CITY SELECTIONS

Jake Loves Laura sets the standard from those with experience, but this could be destined to go to one of the newcomers, with METAMORA looking the pick of them. The daughter of Bated Breath is out of a Listed winner over 6f and could have been found an ideal starting point. Rescue Mission has winners in her pedigree and may prove to be the chief threat.

Stewards Note:

VOLCANIC DANCER: Following its run on 4/12/2024 it was reported that the horse jumped awkwardly from the stalls.

Probable S.P’s: 6-5 Diamont Katie (IRE), 7-4 Rescue Mission (GB), 15-2 Jake Loves Laura (GB), 10-1 Metamora (GB), 80-1 Ellbryn (GB), 200-1 Mishy’s Star (GB), Volcanic Dancer (GB)

DIAMONT KATIE fared best of the newcomers when fourth in a 10-runner Southwell novice on debut and, with that experience to draw upon here, she could prove too strong for likely-looking debutante Rescue Mission and Jake Loves Laura.

Great British Bonus Scheme

The Great British Bonus (GBB) incentivises and rewards with breeding, buying and racing of British-bred fillies by paying out bonuses of up to £100,000 per filly And now with GBBPlus to further incentivise staying fillies and chasing mares, there are more reasons than ever to breed, buy and race British. Majority funded by the HBLB.

CITY SELECTIONS

Recent form suggests the likes of Lilkian, Match Anthem and Miss Moonshine can all play strong roles. However, this could finally be the time for FAST FLO to gain a first career success. A close second in a similar event over C&D on her penultimate start, Christine Dunnett’s mare was a respectable fourth in a handicap at Wolverhampton most recently. A simple repeat of that level could suffice here

On the back of an eye-catching effort in a 5f Wolverhampton handicap, ADMIRABLE LAD could be the answer with this step back up in trip a good move. Lilkian went down narrowly at Lingﬁeld last time and looks sure to be in the thick of things once again, while Match Anthem is third choice ahead of Heartrate and Shades of May

CITY SELECTIONS

MIGGY MAGIC hasn’t ﬁnished out of the top three since joining the Michael Keady stable, with his best effort arguably coming when second at Southwell six days ago. The four-year-old goes off a 1lb higher mark here and could gain his ﬁrst career success. Thunder Star wasn’t disgraced when third in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and could go well off 1lb lower, while Rebel Path is another to watch out for

With blinkers applied, MIGGY MAGIC has been shaping up well for Michael Keady, only denied late on at Southwell 6 days ago, so he could be ready to get off the mark this time around. Angle Land wasted no time getting back to form when making the frame over C&D last time and is respected, while Thunder Star could also be in the mix. TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

CITY SELECTIONS

SUNNY TIME had Kameko Spirit (third) and La Mer Grise (fourth) behind when accounting for a subsequent winner by a length at Lingﬁeld on his latest outing and has only been raised 5lb for that success. The son of Without Parole is aided by the booking of Luke Morris and could prove very hard to beat. Top Biller ﬁnished a respectable fourth at Southwell last time and should remain competitive off a 1lb lower mark.

Top Biller has also improved since headgear has been applied and is feared most, ahead of Kameko Spirit.

CITY SELECTIONS

Placed on each of his last three starts, including over C&D last month, RAINWATER can be rewarded for his consistency on this occasion, with Warren Fentiman taking off a handy 7lb in the saddle. Not beaten too far at Wolverhampton last time out, Samra Star looks to be a key threat, along with Urban Sprawl, who has the potential to improve for going up in trip.

RAINWATER has been acquitting himself with plenty of credit in recent months and with his rider taking off a handy 7lb, he could be worth siding with, admittedly in a higher grade than he usually contests. Urban Sprawl has yet to ﬁnish out of the frame around here and lines up in good order, so heads the dangers. Aiming High and Samra Star are others in the mix.

BILLY MCGARRY looks the one to beat if building on a strong runner-up effort when worn down late on over 7f at Southwell last week.
