UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

In an open event the marginal preference is for JEANETTE MAY, who is a former C&D winner and she caught the eye on her return from a 388-day layoff at Chelmsford last month. The recent Yarmouth winner Kingdom Girl could give the selection the most to think about, although the consistent At Liberty and Nine Elms also merit places on the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Jeanette May 2nd Kingdom Girl 3rd At Liberty

VERMILION displayed plenty of promise when not beaten far on her racecourse debut over 6f at Salisbury in July. That form has worked out well and this daughter of Kodiac could be hard to stop with the benefit of that experience. Youngest is an eye-catching newcomer being by Dubawi and out of a mare who won a Listed race in the UK prior to scoring at Grade 1 level in Canada. Martini Nights is another who is likely to improve for her racecourse bow, while Distinguished Lady and Elegant Charm are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Vermilion 2nd Youngest 3rd Martini Nights

RAGE OF BAMBY accounted for a subsequent Group 3 runner-up when winning on debut at Newbury in June and the daughter of Saxon Warrior could be hard to stop today based on that evidence, despite carrying a 3lb penalty. Daydream Dancer took a big step forward at Sandown last time and she may have more to offer. Beautiful Star should not be underestimated on just her second start, while Special Event and Ragosina are newcomers to note.
Prediction : 1st Rage Of Bamby 2nd Daydream Dancer 3rd Beautiful Star

RIVER USK recorded an improved showing on his latest outing over 6f at Redcar, finishing a far from disgraced fifth when keeping on well inside the final furlong. He steps up in trip for his handicap debut and is entitled to improve, especially given he is a full-brother to US Grade 1 winner River Boyne. Menalippe is another to note if transferring recent all-weather form onto turf, while further progression should not be ruled out for Brasilian Princess either.
Prediction : 1st River Usk 2nd Menalippe 3rd Brasilian Princess

John Chard Vc has shown plenty on both career starts earlier this year and a step up in trip could see him enter calculations. However, KOLSAI makes plenty of appeal on paper, with her dam, despite being unraced, is a half-sister to Group 1 heroine Izzi Top and Group 2 winner Jazzi Top. Falcon Nine is also related to some smart types and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Kolsai 2nd John Chard Vc 3rd Falcon Nine

Ve Day recorded a promising third on his handicap bow at Newbury last month and it seemed a step up to 1m4f suited the son of Churchill on that occasion. There could be more to come, but the Sir Mark Prescott-trained ARCLIGHT built on her seasonal debut to finish a good second over 1m2f at Brighton last month. She kept on well during that outing, so a step up in distance might see her bounce back to winning form, while Age Of Sail looks a big threat with his most recent run in mind.
Prediction : 1st Arclight 2nd Age Of Sail 3rd Ve Day

WHIMSY was runner-up on her latest start at Kempton, but the form of her two previous wins at Salisbury stand up to the closest of scrutiny. The drop back in trip is another plus and she can see off Chichen Itza, who, being related to a pair of Japanese Group winners, is bred to be much better than what she has shown thus far. D Day Odette is another that is getting to terms with the racing game and she remains with potential off a feasible mark.
Prediction : 1st Whimsy 2nd Chichen Itza 3rd D Day Odette

BLISSFUL SONG gave a bold sight at Epsom last week before being worn down late on and the drop back in trip could work a treat for this speedy filly. The Daley Express is another that likes to go forward and those tactics saw him run out a narrow winner at Goodwood. Contrary to the aforementioned pair, Electric Love likes to come from off the pace and that could see her go close alongside C&D winner Eastern Star.
Prediction : 1st Blissful Song 2nd The Daley Express 3rd Electric Love
