UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

THUNDER FLASH repaid the faith shown by the punters last time when scoring over C&D. That form has since been franked by Tribuna Uffizi (second), who came out and scored readily at Bath on Wednesday, and with just a 1lb rise in the weights, Ian Williams' runner looks primed to run another nice race. Lednikov was in third on that occasion, only beaten a neck, so Ivan Furtado's four-year-old looks certain to be in the mix on revised terms. Ham And Jam can make up the placings.
Prediction : 1st Thunder Flash 2nd Lednikov 3rd Ham And Jam

Charlie and Mark Johnston's colt, Duchray, looks to have every chance after a decent effort when finishing third of four over 7f at Chester last time. The drop back to 6f looks sure to suit, but the nod here goes to last-time-out winner DUNNINGTON LAD. David Evans' runner showed a good attitude when winning over 5f last time at Goodwood and the fourth, What A Dude, has since won at Redcar, so the form looks solid. Kiss N Cuddle heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dunnington Lad 2nd Duchray 3rd Kiss N Cuddle

Misscall arrives here in good form after winning last time at Newmarket over 6f, but Archie Watson's three-year-old has been given a 2lb rise for just a short-head success, so she is potentially vulnerable. SOI DAO has been running consistently well of late and the talented Benoit De La Sayette takes off a valuable 5lb in the saddle, which could see Rod Millman's charge make a bold bid today. Sweet Glance won last time and will be hoping her 4lb hike in the weights doesn't stop her going close again.
Prediction : 1st Soi Dao 2nd Misscall 3rd Sweet Glance

DUNDORY seemed to relish every yard of the 1m2f last time when scoring at Chepstow. Beautiful Crown, who finished second, has since run with credit when finishing third of seven in a better race than this at Windsor on Sunday, so the form looks decent and another bold bid in expected from John O'Shea's runner. Magical Mile carries a 5lb penalty for his half-length success last time at Windsor but he should run well again. The consistent Precision Storm heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Dundory 2nd Magical Mile 3rd Precision Storm

WILD LION is open to further improvement on his fifth career start following a brace of victories at Newcastle last autumn. The first of those came after a 14-month absence, so fitness is unlikely to be an issue for him on his first outing since October. Persuasion has stepped forward with each performance this season and better is expected after his recent third at Redcar. Others for the shortlist include Divine Magic and Outrun The Storm.
Prediction : 1st Wild Lion 2nd Persuasion 3rd Divine Magic

Dukedom sets the form standard, having hit the frame on a couple of occasions, including here on his penultimate start, but the son of Dubawi, who has been a beaten favourite on no less than five occasions, may prove vulnerable once again, despite dropping back to 6f. The vote, therefore, goes to PASTEL POWER, who shaped with plenty of encouragement on his debut when third at Wolverhampton in November before finishing second at Chelmsford later in the month. The son of Shalaa remains open to progression in what appears to be a winnable contest on paper. Maiden's Green was third to Flotus on her debut at Goodwood last May and a repeat of that effort would put her right in contention.
Prediction : 1st Pastel Power 2nd Dukedom 3rd Maidens Green

FOUR FEET arrives in search of a hat-trick of victories after his recent successes on the all-weather at Wolverhampton and Lingfield. The six-year-old appears to have improved a fair amount since last season and he could have more to offer back on turf. Girl Inthe Picture has been mostly consistent over the past few months and she is capable of a decent showing, along with Renegade Rose and Selfish Brian.
Prediction : 1st Four Feet 2nd Girl Inthe Picture 3rd Renegade Rose
