UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

ZAFARANAH looks well treated off 70 reverting to turf for this assignment. The daughter of Raven's Pass won off this mark at Wolverhampton in November last year, followed up off 4lb higher at the Midlands venue at the start of 2019 and was last seen finishing a close-up fifth off 7lb higher at Dunstall Park in February. Leo Davinci won well at Redcar last week and must enter calculations under a 6lb penalty, while Fieldsman is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Zafaranah 2nd Leo Davinci 3rd Fieldsman

Not many of Roger Varian's horses win on debut, so it could be that MOTTRIB is an above-average colt. The yard's horses tend to improve markedly for their first run and, if that's the case with this son of Invincible Spirit, the Newbury scorer is going to take some stopping despite conceding weight all round. Show Me Heaven is the main danger having got off the mark in first-time cheekpieces at Goodwood recently, while Law Of Peace looks the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Mottrib 2nd Show Me Heaven 3rd Law Of Peace

HIGH ACCLAIM blew his chance with a slow start when fourth at Newbury 41 days ago, but it won't matter quite as much if similar happens here over this longer trip, and Roger Teal's charge is fancied to strike now dropped 1lb. His winless run stretches back to March 2018 but this contest lacks depth and he appeals more than Stormingin, who only has a 2016 maiden win to his name on the Flat, and Stringybark Creek, who carries a 5lb penalty for his recent Beverley success.
Prediction : 1st High Acclaim 2nd Stormingin 3rd Stringybark Creek

CANASTA has shown bits of promise in three career starts and is in the right hands to continue her progression in handicap company. The daughter of Charm Spirit moves up slightly in distance and can take a step forward to score at the expense of Potenza, a winner at Newmarket last Friday who is respected under a 6lb penalty, and City Master, who looked to be getting the hang of things when fourth off 2lb higher at Lingfield latest and should appreciate this extra furlong.
Prediction : 1st Canasta 2nd Potenza 3rd City Master

LADY SCATTERLEY shaped on her latest outing as a juvenile at Brighton as though she would be suited by a step up in distance. The daughter of No Nay Never warrants a fair amount of respect on her debut for Tim Easterby in handicap company and she can get the better of Heavenly Bliss, who can improve from her return to action at Doncaster at the end of last month, and the consistent Remembering You.
Prediction : 1st Lady Scatterley 2nd Heavenly Bliss 3rd Remembering You

Lofty showed plenty of speed over 7f at Redcar last time and dropping back in trip for his handicap debut looks a smart move, but slight preference is for SWINGING EDDIE. Kevin Ryan's charge showed that he has improved from two to three years whena half-length second on his reappearance at Doncaster and he is quickly bounced out before a 1lb rise comes into play. Tulloona, equipped with a tongue-tie after disappointing at Newbury, could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Swinging Eddie 2nd Lofty 3rd Tulloona

KINGFAST supplemented his game Chepstow success with a comfortable victory at Lingfield and, despite being burdened with a 5lb penalty, he could take some stopping in his bid to complete the hat-trick. Maroon Bells has placed in both starts since switching to handicap company, only losing out by three-parts of a length at Thirsk last time, and she is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Kodi Koh is another in-form player with claims.
Prediction : 1st Kingfast 2nd Maroon Bells 3rd Kodi Koh
