TONIGHT’S SPONSORS
Welcome to Remembrance Day at Chelmsford City Racecourse Reme e Da
Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse on this special day when we remember and honour the service and sacrifice of all those, who have laid down their lives in both World Wars and all subsequent conflicts, as well as acts of terrorism. The sacrifice made by these brave men and women was carried out in defence of our freedom and to protect our way of life.
There will be a service of remembrance and wreath-laying ceremony in the Parade Ring at 3.30pm, when we hope you will join us. Alongside our racing, we have organised continuous events, throughout the day and into the evening in support of this day which we trust that you will enjoy.
“WE WILL REMEMBER THEM”
Neil Graham Racing Director

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
ROYAL ALLIANCE was having his first start since June when scoring at Newcastle last month, having been gelded in the interim. The son of Persian King comfortably beat a horse rated 82 and may well defy a penalty on the strength of that form. Akrramm will likely have more to offer on his return from an absence, and the now-gelded Beccali might have a say in proceedings as well. Breakdancer, Dance In The Storm and Raafedd are all newcomers to note.

PLAY SMARTER
Plenty of depth to this so conceding a penalty won’t be easy for ROYAL ALLIANCE, but he was quite impressive at Newcastle so he rates the percentage call. Akrramm ran in a hot race on debut so is sure to improve, while there are a plethora of interesting-looking newcomers, notably Elements of Fire and Breakdancer

Remembrance Poem
byAlexandraHurley, Age9
Remembrance day is a time to commemorate
Each courageous soldier, their fighting
Meaning freedom for us.
Earth stained with innocent blood
Many lives were lost.
Brave or not, they all made a difference.
Respect is what you need to give them.
And also, don’t forget
Numerous thousands died, but
Can we ever appreciate them enough?
Even though we are free, other societies are in
Dire need of help
And we can support them
Your yearly two minutes of silence honours the sacrifice the servicemen and women made.

CITY SELECTIONS
NO SAINT finally took advantage of a tumble down the weights when scoring with any amount in hand at Southwell. The four-year-old has been raised 6lb for that success, but another strong bid looks assured. Wrath Of Hector has placed here since winning at Yarmouth in August and it would be no surprise if he featured in the finish once again. Sea The Buckthorn (fourth) wasn’t far behind Wrath Of Hector last time and looks best of the rest.

CITY SELECTIONS
KENSTONE failed to fire at Wolverhampton after losing a cheekpiece early in the race. Adrian Wintle’s veteran had gone close when runner-up at Chepstow before that, suggesting a return to winning ways was imminent, and he gets another chance. A winner at Kempton last month, Batal Dandy ran well again when third over track and trip a fortnight ago and is not out of it, while Just Ten High can be given a chance returning to this shorter distance.

JUST TEN HIGH bumped into a progressive one at Southwell last Saturday and can show he’s still on a good mark. La Verite shaped better than the result at Kempton last time and is feared most with Billy Loughnane taking over the reins from a 7lb apprentice. Poetic Jack is next on the list.

CAMERA SHY created a good impression when scoring cosily at Newmarket on debut in May and, after not being seen to best effect when sent off a warm order for a Group 3 in Italy, this promising son of Kodiac can return to winning ways. The experienced Rock Hunter has shown enough ability to suggest that he can land a race of this nature and commands attention sporting blinkers for the first time. Desert Champion is also respected, especially if the market speaks favourably

INITIAL BLUE should have learnt plenty from his encouraging Wolverhampton debut and gets the nod. Newmarket-winner Camera Shy remains with potential and may provide the chief threat, whilst Desert Champion and Spitzbergen are both of interest on their racecourse bows.

APPLE’S ANGEL impressed when scoring comfortably over track and trip on her nursery debut last week and the suspicion is that a 7lb rise may not be enough to anchor her. Eighteencaratgold offered encouragement when fourth on his handicap bow at Kempton in August and he can emerge as the main danger to the selection now he has been gelded and is sporting cheekpieces for the first time. Recent C&D runner-up Oasis Sunrise completes the shortlist.

Preference is for DUBAI MAGIC, who went close on her nursery debut at Wolverhampton and she wasn’t seen to best effect here next time. Apple’s Angel duly left the form of her qualifying runs well behind when scoring on her first run in a nursery over C&D nine days ago and she is second choice ahead of Piranha Rama and Oasis Sunrise.

STARTLING impressed with a last-to-first victory over C&D last month and this looks a good opportunity for her to follow up, despite racing off a 4lb higher mark. Natsumi hasn’t cut much ice in her three qualifying runs, but she warrants respect on her nursery debut for astute connections. Master Zack wasn’t seen to best effect over 6f here recently, but he suffered interference and could bounce back.

BLIND BEGGAR finished four lengths clear of Moulin Booj (third) when only denied by a short head in a stronger event at Nottingham. Mick Appleby’s six-year-old took this race last year and is only 1lb higher, so it would be no surprise to see him repeat the feat. Crimson Sand made the frame over 6f here last month, just five days on from a success over the same C&D, and could get into contention again. Bang On The Bell can pick up any pieces.

CITY SELECTIONS
Hunters Run is in fine form and was a close-up second when on a hat-trick at Southwell. However, the slight rise in distance might stretch out his stamina and, with that in mind, the vote goes to DASHING PANTHER. William Stone’s five-year-old could only finish in midfield at Newbury, when the heavy conditions may have gone against him. Based on his runner-up effort at Pontefract prior to that display, he could be the one to beat. Al Haal is another to note.

GENESIUS: Following its run on 26/10/2024 it was reported that the jockey’s saddle slipped.
Probable S.P’s: 15-8 Hunters Run (IRE), 3-1 Genesius (IRE), 9-1 Sax Appeal (GB), 10-1 Le Rouge Chinois (DEN), Dashing Panther (GB), 11-1 Al Haal (GB), 14-1 Gordon Grey (IRE)
GENESIUS couldn’t be blamed for unseating at Newbury last time and, back on AW with blinkers applied, he makes plenty of appeal. The in-form Hunters Run is an obvious danger and Sax Appeal can’t be ruled out down in grade.

CITY SELECTIONS
Andaleep backed up his fifth in the Cambridgeshire with a highly respectable second at Kempton on Monday and should remain competitive off an unchanged mark. However, he could come out second best to PENZANCE, who is a dual C&D winner and finished third in a Listed contest on the same Kempton card earlier in the week. The four-year-old returns to the handicap ranks and will prove hard to beat. Intricacy is another to take seriously, despite being absent since his victory at Meydan in February.

Dual C&D winner PENZANCE lines up 3lb lower than when second at Newcastle in the spring and, with an encouraging third in Listed company behind him at Kempton on Monday, he’s very much of interest returned to this shorter trip. Intricacy has been absent since winning at Meydan earlier this year but is worth a second look for the Crisfords. Low-mileage 3-y-os Westridge and Salamanca are others to note in a good quality affair
