TODAY’S RACING

TODAY’S SPONSORS

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

This evening marks the beginning of this year’s music events after racing and what a way to begin! Artful Dodger will be on stage in the Summer Marquee straight after racing ﬁnishes, playing some of the best of UK Garage music.

Before that, we have seven races for you with some interesting runners to test your skill. Charlie Appleby runs Montevetro in the ﬁrst, who cost 800,000 guineas as a yearling, so the market should give you some idea whether he is fancied or not and likely to live up to that expensive price tag.

The 8.00pm race features an old favourite here in Sir Rodneyredblood, attempting to win his tenth race tonight. He is well drawn, coming out of the number 4 stall, back in a Class 6 race, which is where he has won 14 of his races and he seems to be equally effective over 5f and 6f.

Good luck to all our runners and have a great evening.

Neil Graham Racing Director

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

Trainer

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

MONTEVETRO looks to have been found a nice opening on debut for the powerful Charlie Appleby yard and should go very close given his connections are known for their ability to ready one and have ﬁrst-time-out winners. The other newcomer in the ﬁeld Bay of Myths is noted with Hollie Doyle booked, while of those with form it could be that Free Yourself takes a nice jump forward from her decent introduction at Wolverhampton.

CITY SELECTIONS

The betting should be noted here for any market support for newcomers Different Opinions and Bumaan, both of whom represent shrewd yards. However, experience can win the day and BEAGLE BAY can give the three-year-olds weight and a beating if building on what was a really encouraging introduction in a Newbury maiden last year when he ﬁnished a head second and had the subsequent Balmoral winner Crown Of Oaks one place behind.

Returning BEAGLE BAY concedes plenty of weight to his rivals but it was a highly encouraging debut effort he produced when an unlucky second at Newbury last spring and, he may well be up to the task on return to action. Karl Burke newcomer Different Opinions may be the one to give him most to think about.

CITY SELECTIONS

Inspired could only manage third at Newcastle last time but that form is really strong because the two who finished in front of him, Aisling Oscar and Francesi, have been in excellent nick all year Karl Burke’s charge cannot be overlooked, but ELEMENTS OF FIRE is slightly more appealing going handicapping for the first time on the back of a Lingfield novice win, when he kept his unbeaten all-weather record intact. Captain Parma is another to note.

INSPIRED shaped better than the bare result when third on handicap debut at Newcastle 3 weeks ago, his early keenness telling at the business end. However, that effort highlighted he’s on a good mark and he may be up to proving as much down to 7f. Elements of Fire looks a good acquisition for the Archie Watson stable and he’s an obvious danger The steadily progressive Captain Parma also makes appeal.

SPENDMORE LANE arrives here on the back of two impressive victories in recent weeks and a 5lb penalty for the latest of those wins at Wolverhampton may not be enough to stop her from making it a hat-trick.

CITY SELECTIONS

Sea of Charm made it three wins from her last four starts on her return at Lingﬁeld three weeks ago, but a 3lb rise demands more from the eight-year-old here With that in mind, the vote goes to QUEENSLAND BOY, who was only beaten a head into second off this mark at Wolverhampton earlier in the week.

CITY SELECTIONS

DESDEMONA hit the crossbar twice, including behind the bang in-form Beauzon, before going one better in emphatic fashion at Lingﬁeld. A 5lb rise still leaves her well treated compared to the peak of her powers and she can strike again while the iron is hot. Buraback took a step back in the right direction when runner-up over C&D and that form was boosted when the winner followed up. Top Star was a solid second at Southwell, although that form doesn’t appear quite as strong.

DESDEMONA confirmed recent promise when running out a good winner at Lingfield 10 days ago and she looks a big player again with her rider’s claim off-setting her 5lb rise. Buraback rates the chief threat following his C&D second, whilst market confidence behind the returning Master Zack would also look significant.

CITY SELECTIONS

Royal Jet’s winning spree was brought to an end at Lingﬁeld last week and although that second arguably matched the level of his previous performances, a further 2lb rise does demand more. ANTIQUITY has gone up 4lb after justifying favouritism at the same venue, but he appeared to have something in hand and is the one taken to defy the handicapper. H Key Lails has held his form well, while Renesmee burst back into life when just denied at Wolverhampton.
