UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

MAKING HISTORY was improved when upped to six furlongs last time and an extra furlong here could unlock even more from Saeed bin Suroor's Dubawi colt, who is looking to open his account. Miss Matterhorn is the only previous winner in the field and enjoyed this trip when getting the job done at Lingfield, while Fantom Force and Danny Ocean have caught the eye in defeat and can't be ruled out.
Prediction : 1st Making History 2nd Miss Matterhorn 3rd Fantom Force

Lingfield winner Forseti has somewhat disappointed in two outings subsequently, but faced a tough task from a tricky draw at Chester last time and is entitled to find this challenge much more straightforward. However, preference is for VENTURA BAY, who was second over 10 furlongs at Ripon latest and also has plenty of encouraging form over a mile, which suggests the drop back to seven furlongs may not be too much of an inconvenience. Luna Princess and Tigerinmytank will have local support.
Prediction : 1st Ventura Bay 2nd Forseti 3rd Luna Princess

Dramatic Device brings plenty of experience to the table and is sure to be popular having finished a short-head second at Newmarket last time. However, preference is for Roger Varian's LOOK CLOSELY, who will have learnt plenty on his debut in a useful Newmarket novice contest and the 150,000 guineas son of Sea The Stars could thrive in what looks calmer waters this time. Mark Johnston's newcomer Magic Act is a half-brother to the handler's Group 2-winning two-year-old Cardsharp and needs to be noted, while Final Orders is also respected on debut.
Prediction : 1st Look Closely 2nd Dramatic Device 3rd Magic Act

Reggae Runner bounced back to winning form at Bath earlier in the month and a 3lb rise for that success can still see him be competitive. Hold Still was last in the aforementioned contest but is capable of bouncing back based on his second at Sandown previously, but preference is for handicap debutant LYNDON B. He sports a first-time visor which could yield improvement after not running to his best at Newmarket last time.
Prediction : 1st Lyndon B 2nd Reggae Runner 3rd Hold Still

DASHED has hit the frame on all three of her outings in handicap company and a pair of blinkers, along with a sounder surface compared to her most recent outing at Salisbury, could make the difference for Roger Varian's filly. Gentlewoman is likely to benefit from the drop back to 7f, having not appeared to see out a mile at Chelmsford, while Silca Mistress and Eula Varner are both capable of going close on their best form.
Prediction : 1st Dashed 2nd Gentlewoman 3rd Silca Mistress

Affluence claimed his first turf success at the 18th time of asking at Yarmouth a fortnight ago and deserves respect after being raised just 2lb for Martin Smith, while Esspeegee outran his odds when third at Epsom earlier this month and is 8lb below his last winning mark. Sauchiehall Street will appreciate this drop in trip, but slight preference is for recent C&D hero BECKY SHARP. She remains well treated on the best of her form and could follow up despite a 5lb rise.
Prediction : 1st Becky Sharp 2nd Esspeegee 3rd Affluence

KATH'S LUSTRE wasn't disgraced on her first run for 50 days when only beaten six and a quarter lengths at Newbury two weeks ago and could find some improvement now trying 6f once more. The four-year-old has been dropped 2lb for those exertions and could claim a first success since April 2018. Evening Attire has been shaping nicely in defeat recently but needs more to strike, while Lilbourne Star is better than what he showed at Newbury 23 days ago and is one to note.
Prediction : 1st Kaths Lustre 2nd Evening Attire 3rd Lilbourne Star
