TODAY’S RACING

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

We have seven races for you this evening, as part of our Valentine’s Day celebrations – yes, I know it is two days early but we felt that you needed a reason to celebrate with all this dreary weather!

Whilst we are talking about love, we love seeing horses returning to the racecourse time-after-time and tonight Carlton runs in the 6.30pm race. He has run here eight times, winning on six occasions and ﬁnishing a good second a few weeks ago. The good apprentice Ashley Lewis is in the saddle, claiming a valuable 5lbs off his back, which can only be a plus, particularly, over these longer distances.

Good luck to all our runners and I hope you all have a lovely evening.

Neil Graham Racing Director

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS

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

AL BAAHY proved there was no fluke about his Wolverhampton success when he readily followed up at Lingfield 12 days ago. Those victories came in classified company but he seems revitalised and won’t need much of a step forward to successfully revert to a handicap here Amarachi is consistent at this sort of level and is a big danger given she is still unexposed over this trip. Aim For The Bull and River Wharfe are other alternatives to consider

RIVER WHARFE won from a higher mark at Wolverhampton in October and got back on track when second there 16 days ago, doing well having conceded ﬁrst run. With cheekpieces back on, he looks the one to beat. In-form recent winners Al Baahy and Angelica K are the obvious threats.

CITY SELECTIONS

Richard Spencer has two interesting newcomers in the shape of Saddle Up and Tainted Love and any support for either of them in the betting would be dangerous to ignore. However, the experience held by MANLY FIREBALL is an advantage at this stage and keeping the 75-rated three-year-old to maiden company could be a rewarding move. Unionville is the pick of the rest.

MANLY FIREBALL has improved with each run and looks the one to beat back from a break, especially with the form of his latest run proving strong. Well-bred debutant Saddle Up needs keeping a close eye on in the betting, while Unionville took a step forward when runner-up on his ﬁrst start for his new stable at Kempton recently and must enter calculations, too.

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

Aberama Gold is as enthusiastic as ever and David O’Meara’s robust nine-year-old is high on the shortlist. However, DYRHOLAEY could be the answer after a near miss off the same mark at Wolverhampton last week. Still unexposed for a ﬁve-year-old, the Archie Watson-trained gelding is highly tempting based on that evidence. Justcallmepete and Coachello are also likely to be heavily involved.

DYRHOLAEY got back on track eased in grade when runner-up at Wolverhampton last week and a similar sort of performance could well see him resume winning ways. Aberama Gold conﬁrmed his return to form when third over C&D a fortnight ago and is an obvious threat operating from the same mark.

CITY SELECTIONS

Ludo’s Landing could only manage fifth in this grade at Kempton last month, but is of interest tackling this trip for the first time. Machete remains on a workable mark and is noted, but CARLTON might be the one. Just touched off over an extended 1m5f at this venue on his latest outing, James Owen’s gelding looks well placed to gain a seventh course success.

DECLARED RUNNERS 7 2025: TWILIGHT FUN 5 9 5 Joey Haynes 11-4 (Chelsea Banham) 6 ran Hood worn by No. 4. Visor worn by No. 3. Sheepskin Cheek Pieces worn by No. 6.

Probable S.P’s: 3-1 Tryfan (GB), 9-2 Machete (FR), 5-1 Crackalackin (IRE), 11-2 Carlton (GB), 9-1 Vice President (IRE), 10-1 Ludo’s Landing (IRE), 12-1 Haaland (IRE)

Down in class, TRYFAN makes plenty of appeal returning to 14f with a run under his belt. Crackalackin and Machete both looking interesting stepping up in trip, while Carlton came agonisingly close to a seventh course success when second here on his return and he’s also respected.

CITY SELECTIONS

Stay Salty arguably brings the best form to the table after his debut fourth over a mile here, but a chance can be taken on newcomer TAMASHAL. The son of Phoenix Of Spain changed hands for 40,000 euros and is a half-brother to three winners, including Westridge. He is likely to improve as he steps up in trip but this looks a good starting point. Zambezi River completes the shortlist

PLAY SMARTER

ZAMBEZI RIVER gave the impression he is better than his sixth-placed ﬁnish at Kempton 22 days ago when left poorly placed and he can improve to get off the mark on his second start. Stay Salty offered something to work on when fourth on debut at Kempton 15 days ago and that form has been franked while Tamashal looks an interesting newcomer

CITY SELECTIONS

CRIMSON RAMBLER displayed marked improvement on his handicap debut at Wolverhampton and, providing he copes with the quick turnaround, he looks to have a race of this nature well within his compass judged on that close-up second. Oh So Perfect would be no surprise winner and Crown The Future should also be thereabouts judged on recent performances at Wolverhampton in particular

CITY SELECTIONS

SIGNCASTLE CITY was beaten just half a length into second at Lingfield last Saturday and a repeat of that performance will make him hard to beat in this handicap finale It won’t be long before Captain Parma gets back in the winning groove at this level and he’s noted along with Chola Empire, who brings winning C&D form to the table.

SIGNCASTLE CITY is on a long losing sequence but has tumbled down the handicap and looks well treated here racing off the same mark as when a resurgent Lingﬁeld runner-up last week. Both Captain Parma (second choice) and Lequinto arrive in very good nick though so should ensure Richard Hannon’s 6-y-o doesn’t have things all his own way Panelli, Chola Empire and Kit Gabriel all need factoring into this highly competitive contest too.
