Chelmsford City Race 5 - Betting.betfair.com Ebf Novice Stakes (Gbb Race)
ABANDO (1) is a former Group performer in Germany. May shed the maiden tag on second start for Marco Botti wearing first time cheekpieces which could help leave his fifth place effort over 2400m at Southwell All Weather behind. Major player. VALEDICTORY (5) was expected to perform well at Newmarket in April when only beaten 1L fourth. Market can provide best guide as to his chances. EL REHAIBY (2) attracted strong support when fifth debuting at Lingfield Park All Weather beaten 1.75L. Might progress for that experience and makes plenty of appeal. Watch the betting for clues regarding newcomer SOLARIZE (4).

Second-up. First-up after two months 5th of 9 at Southwell All Weather on September 27 over 2400m, 9 len behind Classical Allusion carrying 60.5kg at $2.50. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Munich in the G3 Bavarian Classic on May 1 over 2000m, 3.5 len behind Path Of Soldier with 58kg at $19.40. Fitter for that run and expected to be in the finish this time.

Three-year-old colt (Masar - Sahraah) making his debut. Profiles nicely and is worth keeping safe.

Back from a long spell. Only had one start last preparation 4th of 9 at Newmarket (Rowley) on April 16 over 2000m, 1.3 len behind Spanish Voice carrying 59kg at $3.30. First up last campaign 3rd of 11 at Doncaster on September 14 2024 over 1600m, neck behind Yabher carrying 59kg at $21. Looks a key runner.

Having third race start. At debut, got back early 4th of 7 at Ffos Las on August 29 over 1600m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Heed with 58kg at $12. Second-up second last of 11 at Leicester on September 22 over 2000m, 14 len behind Kissmehoneyhoney with 56kg at $12. Well suited here and is sure to give this a mighty shake.
