UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Bobby Kennedy was only denied by a length at Bath over an extended 1m3f and a 3lb rise for that effort is likely to keep him in contention. However, a chance can be taken on MARBUZET, who wasn't disgraced when beaten in sixth at Ayr last time over 1m5f and was dropped 2lb for that display. The four-year-old is feasibly treated as he is now only 2lb higher than his last winning mark. Foursome appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Marbuzet 2nd Bobby Kennedy 3rd Foursome

Tamaluk failed to fire on her handicap bow at Wolverhampton last time over 7f, but she could be worth a second chance with the application of first-time cheekpieces and the step back up to a mile. However, FOREVER PROUD just shades the vote for the James Horton yard, as she shaped nicely on her return to action last time at Newcastle when beaten two and a half lengths into third. The daughter of Sioux Nation now stakes her claim to a handicap for the first time on a potentially lenient mark. Sonemos has to be of interest with William Buick booked.
Prediction : 1st Forever Proud 2nd Tamaluk 3rd Sonemos

Double Oban sets the standard with a rating of 75 for others to aim at. Hugo Palmer's gelding is likely to remain competitive against this level of opposition, but he could come out second best to CRESTA CAT. The son of Bobby's Kitten took a step forward to stay on into third last time at Chelmsford over 1m2f, and he could unlock further improvement from this step up in distance to strike. Swift Hawk showed promise on debut at Newbury when beaten into a respectable fifth and is entitled to progress.
Prediction : 1st Cresta Cat 2nd Double Oban 3rd Swift Hawk

Now that the penny has dropped for MAHANAKHON after a taking success at Wetherby, there could be plenty more to come from the four-year-old on his handicap debut. Not beaten far on her last two starts in stronger company, Sly Madam is a key player, along with Francesi, who has been very consistent on the all-weather. Cabinet Of Clowns and Double Time are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Mahanakhon 2nd Sly Madam 3rd Francesi

Runner-up on each of his three starts this season, STRIKING STAR deserves a change in luck and he can get it on this occasion, with the drop in trip a major plus. Brooklyn Nine Nine hasn't been outside the first two in four career starts and he looks to be the main danger, as well as The Big Board. Cruise and Grenham Bay are likely to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Striking Star 2nd Brooklyn Nine Nine 3rd The Big Board

MISS CYNTHIA is likely to prove very popular on her handicap debut, having shown promise when third at Southwell on her penultimate start, and she is taken to continue Sir Mark Prescott's fine run of form, albeit with limited runners. Rock N Roll Pinkie has her stamina assured following her win at Wetherby over further last month, while Majestic Jameela is of interest on her first start for Stuart Edmunds.
Prediction : 1st Miss Cynthia 2nd Rock N Roll Pinkie 3rd Majestic Jameela

Angel Of Peace produced her best effort to date when third on her handicap bow at Redcar earlier this month and is likely to have further improvement to come. That said, the step up a couple of furlongs is an unknown, so the vote goes to MOON OVER THE SEA. He may have been inconvenienced by a quick turnaround at Yarmouth when last seen and the four-year-old is better judged on his Bath success the time before. Damascus Finish and Seraphia, who sports a visor for the first time, are others to consider.
Prediction : 1st Moon Over The Sea 2nd Angel Of Peace 3rd Damascus Finish
