Afternoon Racing Saturday 4th November 2023
Official Programme £3.50
Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse We have an eight-race card for you this afternoon with some really competitive racing and good fields. The feature race, The Little Leighs Handicap, at 4.30pm has some smart performers competing. The top weight, Mostabshir is looking particularly interesting, now being in handicap company. He started the year in the Craven Stakes before participating at Royal Ascot in the Group 1 St James’s Palace Stakes. His most recent outing came in a Group 2 at Newbury. He is well thought of and, perhaps in easier company today, he may be able to defy top weight. Tomorrow night, we have our annual Fireworks Display, which is always a fantastic event. So, if you have tickets, I look forward to seeing you but if you don’t, I am afraid it is all sold out for this year. I hope you enjoy this afternoon. Neil Graham Racing Director

Timeform Rating
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.
You must be 18 or over to place a bet You may be asked to provide proof of your age when placing a bet If you cannot produce this your bet will not be accepted

CITY SELECTIONS GATWICK KITTEN has put in two solid efforts the last twice over 6f, including when beaten just under two lengths into fifth at Wolverhampton most recently, and he was kindly dropped 1lb by the handicapper for that display. He should have no issues with this distance and could be the one to beat. Fayasel has to be a player if he can reproduce the form that carried him to victory at Wolverhampton on his penultimate start, while Exigency also makes some appeal in a first-time visor.

Gatwick Kitten went close at Kempton last PLAY SMARTER time and is worth treating as if still in form, so can also make his presence felt up in trip, with Monaadhil and Fayasel others to consider.

CITY SELECTIONS Claxton Bay took a step forward from his debut effort to finish fourth at Lingfield over a mile and he has to be considered, even taking into account this step back in distance. However, preference is for CLYDE BAY, who wasn’t beaten all that far in heavy conditions at Bath and he could prove a different proposition on his first start on the all-weather, with the likelihood of more to come on only his third start. Any market support for Heathcliff on his debut should be noted. CLYDE BAY

CITY SELECTIONS MOSTABSHIR has been highly tried since running away with a novice event at York in May, and has yet to add to that success. Recently gelded and eased into handicap company now, the Gosdens’ three-year-old is fancied to defy his lofty mark. Excel Power has an excellent record on the all-weather and can’t be ruled out from just 2lb above his last winning figure. The unexposed Enfjaar, in the same ownership as the selection, has something to prove following two below-par efforts but should not be underestimated. MOSTABSHIR

CITY SELECTIONS In a race littered with untapped potential, only a tentative vote can go to DON SIMON. A son of Sea The Stars and out the stable’s former superstar Snow Fairy, the half-brother to the smart John Leeper makes significant appeal ahead of his racecourse bow and is, perhaps crucially, drawn low. Campaign Medal also catches the eye on paper and it would be no surprise were he to play a leading role. Others of interest include Bur Dubai and Grey Charger. DON SIMON
