Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse On the day after Valentine’s Day, I hope that some of you will be celebrating with your loved ones this evening. Although the history of this day dates to February 14th 269 AD, when St. Valentine was murdered, its association with love only began when Geoffrey Chaucer wrote the poem below in the 14th century: “For this was on Saint Valentine’s Day When every bird comes there to choose his match Of every kind that men may think of And that so huge a noise they began to make That earth and air and tree and every lake Was so full, that not easily was there space For me to stand—so full was all the place.” Have a wonderful evening.

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 A progressive sort in the second half of last year, MOULIN BOOJ should have a bit more to come as a four-year-old and a mark of 73 could still underestimate his ability. George Scott’s charge gets the vote ahead of Nazca, who is better than he showed at Newcastle last time. Night On Earth has been in excellent form of late, finishing in the first two at Lingfield on his last three starts, so he has to be considered as well. Nazca

CITY SELECTIONS An eyecatcher when not getting the clearest of runs and staying on well late in the day at Lingfield last weekend, I’M MABLE is turned out again quickly in the hope that she may be able to get her head in front for the first time since June. She can get the better of consistent veteran Rockley Point, as well as Arzaak, who was narrowly denied on his last appearance over this C&D.

CITY SELECTIONS SULLIVAN BAY was a major improver on the step up to an extended 1m5f when making a successful handicap debut here last month, and a further rise in distance could eke out even more improvement as he attempts to follow up off 3lb higher. Not beaten far at Kempton last time out and runner-up over C&D on a couple of occasions, Socially Shady is a key player, along with Tables Turned.

CITY SELECTIONS SHALLOW made a debut full of promise at Kempton when only beaten by Fair Angellica, who has struck twice subsequently, and she would have learned a great deal from the experience. Richard Spencer’s filly should have any amount of improvement forthcoming and looks the one to beat. Raffles Angel was no match for the front pair over 5f here last month, but could easily take a step forward. Of the remainder, Wild Saffron appeals most after her course second over 7f. Raffles Angel

CITY SELECTIONS BANG ON THE BELL made amends for two consecutive seconds when getting up by a neck over 5f at Lingfield on New Year’s Eve, and he is just 3lb higher so could prove a tough nut to crack. Maharajas Express, fifth in that race, was then only denied by a short head at Wolverhampton and competes off the same mark so has to be considered. Libra Tiger hit the crossbar at Kempton and also warrants plenty of respect. Maharajas Express

CITY SELECTIONS Richard Hannon launches a twin-pronged attack and while Crocus Time has dropped to a handy enough mark to warrant consideration, her stable companion SIGHTER possesses more scope for progression and could be the yard’s principal player. The daughter of Expert Eye debuts in a handicap from a highly workable mark and has a live chance at the weights, with Alec Voikhansky’s 5lb claim a notable factor. Rhasidat is also feared if judged on her Kempton triumph rather than her subsequent Southwell no-show. Crocus Time
