Chelmsford City Race 4 - Midnite Ain't Your Grandad's Bookie Hcp (Gbbplus Race)

CHARGING THUNDER (1) brings four wins on all-weather. Notched up the latest of those here on Monday winning by 1.25L and going back up in trip should take beating if backing up quickly. MR FREEDOM (3) remains unexposed on all-weather having delivered just two starts. With one win to his name could prove interesting providing best form and cannot be dismissed. ENZIYA (4) received wind surgery since disappointing when hurdling at Newton Abbot in September. Deserves a market check revisiting the flat. PYLEATES (5) remains a maiden on the all-weather. From a family the stable knows well and worth giving another chance.

Second run back. Comes off a 48-day let-up. First-up after eight months didn't finish the race at Newton Abbot September 18 over 3400m. Previously second-up ran second last of 8 at Sandown Park on December 5 over 3200m, on a slow track; 23 len behind Macktoad with 71kg at $34.

Second-up. First-up after three months 6th of 10 at Salisbury on October 1 over 2800m, slow going 14 len behind Treble Bass with 57kg at $15. Previously second-up 7th of 9 at Sandown Park on June 13 over 2800m, 5 len behind Squire Danagher with 53kg at $9.50. Fitter but unlikely to threaten.
