TONIGHT’S SPONSORS
Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse
We have an eight-race card for you tonight on what is forecast to be a rather lovely, if a somewhat chilly evening. We have six handicaps, which all look competitive but Cabeza de Llave, drawn in stall 1, in the 6.00pm race is looking to follow up on his success of last week and should have a great chance. Also, in the 7.30pm race, my heart tells me that Dereham, who is an old favourite, should have a chance but my head tells me that Altanera, who is improving fast as she steps up in trip will take all the beating.
The 10 furlong novice stakes at 6.30pm looks interesting and Salamanca, who cost 335,000 guineas as a yearling and is by Sea the Stars will set the standard. He finished second on his sole start as a two year old, then was only beaten a short head in a decent novice at Newmarket this spring before finishing fifth in the Lingfield Derby trial. He has a handicap rating of 95 and, assuming he is still in that form, one of the others will have to be better than average to turn him over tonight.
Good luck and have a lovely evening.

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS
Trainer

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
STORM FREE showed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up over this distance at Kempton last time out, and he looks the one to beat if building upon that. Winless since scoring at Newmarket in May, The Actor has operated mostly at a higher level since, and he is a player with jockey Tyrese Cameron taking off 7lb. Pink Diesel and newcomer Ottawa are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

STORM FREE showed much more than first time up when finding just one too strong at Kempton last month, the penny really dropping late on, so James Tate’s colt is fancied to make it third time lucky at the expense of Pink Diesel, who won over C&D in August and probably remained in form when fifth in a valuable fillies’ event in the mud at Goodwood last time. Sweet Fantastic and The Actor can fight out third.

CITY SELECTIONS
Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success over shorter at Wolverhampton on Monday, BLUEBELLS BOY looks more than capable of following up under a 5lb penalty. Stepping back up in distance should not inconvenience him and the five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Prince Of Bel Lir, and Lewis Barnes, who got off the mark with a determined performance at Kempton over 6f earlier in the month.

CITY SELECTIONS
SALAMANCA struggled in the Lingfield Derby Trial when last seen in May but his previous form suggests that the son of Sea The Stars could be hard to beat this level on his return. Al Ameed is an obvious threat based on the pick of his form but he did put in an underwhelming effort last time, while any market support for either of Bewitch or Tic Tok Trot should be noted.

SALAMANCA was only narrowly denied at Newmarket on his reappearance, before giving a good account upped in grade when mid-field in the Lingfield Derby Trial, so he looks to hold leading claims as he returns to action. Al Ameed could be the biggest threat having placed on 3 of his 4 starts on all-weather, ahead of User Amistoso.

CITY SELECTIONS
CLOUD FREE won over course and distance a couple of weeks ago and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the three-year-old to make it a double, despite a 2lb rise. The Bitter Moose hit the crossbar at Wolverhampton last time and is likely to be in the mix once again, while similar comments apply to the consistent Sonmarg. Gone Rogue is another capable of going well.

ALTANERA appeared to have plenty in hand when winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton on Monday and David Simcock’s filly is hard to oppose under a 6lb penalty. Cloudy Rose was only beaten a nose into second at Brighton recently but may have to settle for the runner-up position once again, while Sir Joseph Swan edges out Dereham and Veer to be best of the rest.

While it’s a slight concern that CLOUDY ROSE has failed to fire on each of her three previous appearances on the all-weather, it’s worth bearing in mind that two of those were back in early 2021 and she will surely go very close indeed if reproducing the form of her recent effort at Brighton. Sir Joseph Swan and recent Wolverhampton winner Altanera rate the main dangers, though the selection’s stablemate Dereham is also worth a second look. TIMEFORM PREDICTION:

The money came for BOBBY DASSLER, who finished third at Brighton on his stable bow and, although unable to justify that market support, it was at least a much more encouraging performance. Eased 1lb in the ratings and back over the mile, Michael Wigham’s gelding can repay his supporters this time around. Summanus might not have shown much in novice/maiden events, but he could progress now sent handicapping and with cheekpieces applied for the first time. Meng Tian is another to consider

BATAL DANDY appeared to relish a return to this trip when recording a narrow success at Kempton recently and, with Brandon Wilkie negating the 3lb rise incurred, he can double his tally Connections of Profitman, runner-up on his last two starts, will be hoping the addition of first-time cheekpieces can give him an added boost. That said, Cogsworth, a previous C&D winner, might be the bigger threat.
