TONIGHT’S RACING
TONIGHT’S SPONSORS
Welcome to Chelmsford City Racecourse
On the first of our three fixtures this December, we have a busy evening ahead with nine races and 115 runners at the time of declaration. This number is almost a record for us and the resultant large fields is going to make winners hard to find but I wish you the best of luck in your quest.
This run up to Christmas is one of my favourite times of the year: plenty of runners, the restaurants at capacity and the racecourse all lit up under the floodlights. Everywhere comes alive and I find the atmosphere magical; even after all these years, the sight of the horses walking around the paddock still makes my heart miss a beat.
I hope you have a wonderful evening and that you can feel a bit of that magic as well.
Neil Graham Racing Director

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
RAINWATER showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 1m1f at Wolverhampton and after shaping like he was still in good heart when fourth off 5lb higher over this trip at Newcastle subsequently, he gets the vote to land the spoils off an unchanged mark. Mc’ted found only one rival too good at Lingfield last month and, off 2lb higher than his last winning rating, he warrants respect, despite his wide draw Renesmee is also noteworthy

CITY SELECTIONS
Godolphin appear to hold a strong hand in this contest and JOLLY JACK TAR looks the pick of the duo. The son of Too Darn Hot fairly bolted up over this trip at Lingfield on his second start in February and, with the promise of more improvement to come, he appeals as the most likely winner By The Book scored impressively on debut over 7f at Haydock in June 2023 and, having been gelded during his spell on the sidelines, he must be of interest stepping up in trip on his return to action. Plage De Havre looks the pick of the remainder

PLAY SMARTER
JOLLY JACK TAR looked potentially useful when making his second start a winning one in a 4-runner Lingfield maiden back in February and open to further improvement back from 9 months off, he’s fancied to make a bold bid under a penalty. Fellow Godolphin representative By The Book looked promising himself when making a winning debut at Haydock last year and needs considering on return. Plage de Havre is another expected to be firmly in the mix.

LIPSINK overcame an awkward start to run out a ready winner at Wolverhampton last month and, upped 5lb, he gets the nod to bring up a double. The formerly very smart Acklam Express is an obvious contender back off his last winning mark, while Dark Kestrel lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Newcastle and he is respected most out of the remainder.

THANKUAPPRECIATE: Following its run on 12/11/2024 it was reported that the trainer could not explain the poor run.

A host in with chances but last-time-out winner LIPSINK gets the nod to notch his third success of 2024 having not had much racing at a bare 5f this season. His main danger may emerge from Existent, who is on a lengthy losing run but has tumbled in the weights and has his first outing on the all-weather since February 2022 Dark Kestrel and Acklam Express are another couple fancied to go well, too.

Dashing Panther was having only his second start of the year when scoring here last month. He can feature in the finish again, while Tradesman returns to the all-weather with solid claims off his current mark, but a chance is taken on WILLIAM WALTON. Owen Burrows’ three-year-old has shown steady improvement in three outings over 1m4f and the son of Galileo will likely relish this extra test of stamina now handicapping for the first time.

LION RING has recorded four of his five wins to date at this venue and may prove the one to side with. Andrew Martin’s sprinter is only 2lb higher than when last successful here in October and another bold bid is anticipated. Sir Rodneyredblood was narrowly beaten here on his penultimate start and is not easily dismissed, while Hiatus returns to this distance with a shout off his current mark and can make his presence felt.

MONSIEUR KODI opened his account on the all-weather with a victory over 6f here last month. Richard Fahey’s charge is 3lb higher on his return to this track, having made the frame at Newcastle subsequently, but has won off higher marks on turf and looks worthy of another chance over this extra furlong. Ultramarine went close over C&D three weeks ago and can feature once again, while Nammos has been in the mix in lower-grade contests and could land a blow

THOMAS EQUINAS was too keen to do himself justice when last of five over C&D last month having benefited from the reapplication of cheekpieces the time before. However, the five-year-old may have a better chance of settling in a bigger field and it would be no surprise to see him bounce back. Profitman was disappointing behind the selection when last seen, but is better judged on a brace of runner-up efforts prior Heerathetrack isn’t discounted dropping back to 7f.

A sixth course win could be on the cards for THOMAS EQUINAS, who took a strong hold when misfiring here last month and is better judged on his C&D success in October Profitman was last in the six-runner handicap won by the selection last time but he will be in the thick of things if able to bounce back with the cheekpieces omitted. The picture would look somewhat different if Poetic Jack, who is due to run at Lingfield on Wednesday, takes his chance.

KONDRATIEV WAVE continues to be a reliable individual and the seven-year-old, who won here over 7f in August, arrives following a solid third at Lingfield. Anamika is an interesting contender making her handicap debut, with the pick of her three runs coming here when runner-up in August. Callianassa improved for stepping up in trip to finish second at Newcastle and she could have more to offer

KONDRATIEV WAVE has been in good form for a while and this is a touch weaker than the race in which he was third at Lingfield last time, so he gets the marginal vote ahead of Molly Valentine and Callianassa, who also arrive on the back of solid efforts. Anamika could improve for the switch to handicaps.
