TONIGHT’S SPONSORS

Saint Francis Hospice

Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse

Our card this evening starts with a fascinating contest for two year old fillies. The attractive prize money has attracted some quality fillies; notably, the top filly, Biniorella Bay, who has already finished fourth twice in Group 3 company over 7 furlongs. At the end of July, she was beaten less than two lengths at Deauville before finishing a respectable fourth again at Glorious Goodwood a month later. She is by New Bay, who won the Prix du Jockey Club (the French Derby), so the step up to a mile should be to her advantage. The five other fillies have attractive pedigrees and must be well thought of to be running in such a valuable maiden race, so we look forward to an exciting contest.

I hope you have a lovely evening and enjoy all the racing we have on offer.

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

The progressive BINIORELLA BAY was far from disgraced when ﬁnishing fourth behind some smart rivals in a Goodwood Group 3 over 7f when last seen and, tackling a mile for the ﬁrst time, this looks like a good opportunity for her to return to winning ways. Mythical Bird can emerge as the main danger to the selection after her third at Kempton last time, while Protest is a newcomer to note.

GIRLS NIGHT OUT: Following its run on 14/9/2024 it was reported that the horse was slowly away and ran green.

Br Breeding O Owner B Breeder J Jockey T Trainer S Sponsor

BINIORELLA BAY has acquitted herself well in a pair of Group 3s on her last 2 outings and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways, especially with the longer trip likely to be within range. Protest is an interesting newcomer and would need taking seriously if the betting speaks in her favour, while Mythical Bird has a useful pedigree and could improve further TIMEFORM

CITY SELECTIONS

GRAND DUCHESS OLGA impressed when winning cosily over 2m at Kempton on her penultimate start and, after shaping like she was still in good form when ﬁnishing third over the same C&D most recently, she gets the vote to score. Pﬁngstberg was running consistently well prior to a low-key effort over 2m at Beverley when last seen and he warrants respect. Dereham’s turn in the winner’s enclosure doesn’t look far away either

PFINGSTBERG has been given a nice break since disappointing on his latest start and is fancied to resume his progress. Grand Duchess Olga and Dereham are considered the main threats.

CITY SELECTIONS

Telford pulled clear with the runner-up when scoring over C&D on her nursery debut and she must enter calculations, although more will be required off 6lb higher With that in mind, preference is for BRANDYWINE FALLS, who caught the eye when staying on strongly into fourth over 6f at Redcar last week. With the step up in trip promising to suit, he looks the one to beat off an unchanged mark. Karl Carlston is also considered.

TELFORD proved a different proposition back from a break when making a winning nursery debut over C&D 33 days ago and, with potential for better still now she’s up and running, another bold bid ought to be on the cards. Brandywine Falls on her ﬁrst crack at 7f, The Feminine Urge and Matharu head up the dangers.

DANCING MAGIC sets a lofty standard and his recent second to a 92-rated opponent over 1m at this venue suggests he is well worth chancing back down in trip in this sort of company Stanage is an obvious threat on ofﬁcial ratings and is notable back over 7f with ﬁrst-time blinkers applied.

PLAY SMARTER

Not a strong maiden in terms of depth but DANCING MAGIC is ﬁrmly established as a useful performer and this could be the day he gets off the mark with his promising rider taking off a very handy 3lb. Stanage has the ability to play a lead role for all he hasn’t always looked straightforward and he, along with improving ﬁlly Jumeirah Sea, head up the dangers.

CITY SELECTIONS

PINBALL WIZARD scored readily over this trip at Wolverhampton 10 days ago and, as a previous winner on Polytrack, he has a lot going for him under a 5lb penalty with Sean D Bowen retaining the ride. Nammos made a winning start for Jane Chapple-Hyam over this C&D in August and is an attractive alternative to the selection off just 3lb higher. Hat-trick seeker Desert Dream is also feared back on the all-weather from a handy draw

CITY SELECTIONS

CLEAR JUSTICE has scope to improve at this trip and could be tough to beat in this company if building on his near miss at Brighton last month. The well-handicapped Semser, who is a previous C&D winner, is forwarded as the chief threat to the selection, although Alyara and Bakersboy are dangerous to underestimate at this level and also warrant betting checks at the very least.
