TONIGHT’S RACING
TONIGHT’S SPONSORS
Welcome to Betfair’s Thursday Nights at Chelmsford City Racecourse
On a busy evening, with ninety-one declared runners across our eight races, we are anticipating some highly competitive racing and exciting finishes. This is our last fixture in November before we return on Thursday, 5th December; we, then, have three fixtures in December on the 5th, 12th and the 19th before we finish until the New Year.
Our 2025 calendar is packed with plenty of racing, multiple concerts where Justin Timberlake is headlining on 4th July as well as a multitude of other events to whet our appetite.
I wish you a very enjoyable evening and hope to see you again in the run up to Christmas.
Neil Graham Racing Director

OFFICIAL BHA RATINGS
Trainer
Sponsor
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
MRS DOWLEY shaped with considerable promise when third over 6f on her racecourse bow at Wolverhampton on Monday Michael Bell’s juvenile ought to improve for the step up in trip and, from a handy draw, she can go in at the second time of asking. Magic Glow failed to build on a promising debut performance but she can undoubtedly play a leading role if racing more amenably this time around. Of the newcomers, Queen Sansa and Casual Encounter make the greatest appeal.

Having showed ability when runner-up on debut, MAGIC GLOW wasn’t seen to best effect when seventh in a Wolverhampton maiden over this sort of trip 6 weeks ago. She’s worth another chance from a handy draw with Rossa Ryan in the plate. Mrs Dowley can emerge as the chief threat of the others with experience. Antalya, Casual Encounter and Queen Sansa are a trio of newcomers to note in the betting for clues.

CITY SELECTIONS
Space Trooper hit the woodwork at Newcastle last month and ought to be more than capable of going one better, but a chance can be taken on WAITING FOR LOVE. The Muharaar filly has all-weather winners in her pedigree and the fact that James Doyle arrives here for just this ride is perhaps a tip in itself. Needlepoint made a winning racecourse debut at Chantilly last June and warrants a market check on her return from a lengthy absence.

After a couple of close-up seconds on the all-weather earlier in the year, ARCTIC DAWN shaped with promise when third on his handicap debut off 1lb higher at Doncaster last month. That form has been boosted by the runner-up scoring since and this unexposed three-year-old has scope for improvement following that first run in over seven months. That said, Ultramarine continues to run with credit and he looks sure to mount another stern challenge, along with C&D winner Airshow

Low-mileage 3-y-o ARCTIC DAWN just about matched his previous best on the back of an 8-month absence when third on handicap debut at Doncaster 3 weeks ago. Remaining with potential back on synthetics, he could be the answer. Last year’s winner Riot arrives on the back of a solid run at Wolverhampton and rates a big threat. Ultramarine is another to consider

CITY SELECTIONS
Flaine made a highly encouraging start for the David Loughnane yard when scoring by a length over 7f at Southwell earlier in the month and she should go well, despite her 6lb penalty. However, a chance can be taken on STORMY LADY, who has failed to fire in her three starts to date but she might prove a different proposition now tackling nurseries. With the booking of Rossa Ryan catching the eye, she could produce an upset. Any market confidence behind Follow Your Dream would be interesting.

CITY SELECTIONS
Kessaar Power was denied by just a short head when second over 7f at this venue last week and he holds an obvious chance off an unchanged mark, but DASHING DONKEY makes slightly more appeal. William Stone’s three-year-old hit the crossbar in this grade at Yarmouth last month and competes off only a 1lb higher rating this evening. With a repeat of that performance, he could be the one to beat. Elterwater is another to keep an eye on.

This drop back in trip could be just the ticket for ELTERWATER, who understandably wilted in the closing stages upped to middle distances in handicaps at Southwell and Kempton last winter Provided she is ready to roll following an eight-month absence, she could prove hard to peg back if again ridden aggressively Kessaar Power quickly returned to form when going close here last week and he looks set for another bold show Dashing Donkey is another in-form contender with appealing claims.

CITY SELECTIONS
FLYING FLETCHER struck in smart style in this grade at Newcastle earlier in the month and he might have plenty more to offer on only his fifth handicap start. The son of Muhaarar carries a 6lb penalty but that may not be enough to prevent him going in again. Fantasy Master was successful in a stronger contest than this at Nottingham last month and provided he can transfer that form to the all-weather, then he could have a say Happy Tears completes the shortlist.

War Zone has to be respected having got off the mark over C&D two weeks ago, but the three-year-old could be vulnerable off his new mark. With that in mind, preference is for MARCUS, who was beaten half a length into third that day and is 3lb better off with the winner. Battle Point edges out Enchanted Night and Suanni to be the pick of the rest.

ENCHANTED NIGHT: Following its run on 30/10/2024 it was reported that the horse was slowly away Probable S.P’s: 4-1 War Zone (IRE), 9-2 Suanni (GB), 5-1 Marcus (GB), 8-1 Battle Point (IRE), 9-1 Enchanted Night (GB), 14-1 My Turn Now (IRE), 18-1 Second Collection (GB), 22-1 Turn And Burn (IRE), 25-1 Tomshalfsister (GB), 28-1 Next Second (GB), 40-1 Nemorum (GB)
SUANNI hasn’t been quite at his best of late but wasn’t discredited last time and he’s been dropped a couple of pounds, so he’s worth taking a chance on from a good draw War Zone and Marcus were ahead of the selection that day and they’re likely to feature.

CITY SELECTIONS
SEMSER was only beaten a neck when second in a selling handicap over course and distance last month and that form gives him a big chance here, despite a 1lb rise. Sunset In Paris is an obvious threat to the selection having won two of his last three starts on the level, while Mhajim and River Alwen are others who merit a place on the shortlist.
Sunset In Paris
Leading course trainer (19-24): M Botti (26 wins from 166 runners, 16%) runs NAMRUD
Trainer-in-form (last 14 days): G & J Moore (4 wins from 40 runners, 10%) runs SEMSER
Weightwatcher: SEMSER won off a handicap mark of 68, his rating is now down 14lb to 54.
