UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Ocean Runner was perhaps a shade disappointing when sent off an odds-on favourite at Ascot earlier in the month, having cost 625,000gns at the Craven Breeze-Up, and Charlie Appleby's colt arrives with something to prove. With that in mind, the vote goes to BONELESS, who was also purchased at the same sale last month for 205,000gns and is a half-brother to a Listed-placed individual. Kingswood Flyer, How's The Guvnor and Matloob are others capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Boneless 2nd Ocean Runner 3rd Kingswood Flyer

IMPRESSIVE ACT was runner-up on debut at York to a rival who already had a run under his belt and the son of Dubawi commands the utmost respect in his bid to go one better. Golden Mind ran with promise to finish third at Hamilton first time out and is capable of progressing from that display, while Commander Of Life and Fusterlandia appeal most of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Impressive Act 2nd Golden Mind 3rd Commander Of Life

TORFRIDA benefited from her debut over C&D when making every yard of the running to strike at Doncaster when dropped to 6f. The manner of victory suggested the extra furlong is unlikely to make a difference and she is open to progression in handicaps. Star Sound has placed on all four outings to date and is expected to be in the mix, while Liberty Mountain and Menalippe complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Torfrida 2nd Star Sound 3rd Liberty Mountain

PROPHET'S DREAM has shown plenty of promise since making his handicap debut last June and the son of Outstrip bolted up on his seasonal reappearance over this trip at Bath earlier this month. This is a tougher race and he has gone up 11lb for that success, though, so Tudor can give him plenty to think about on his return to turf. Croachill sports first-time blinkers and any strength in the market should not be ignored for powerful connections.
Prediction : 1st Prophets Dream 2nd Tudor 3rd Croachill

This represents a drop in class for MANITOU, who sports first-time blinkers following a disappointing run over a mile in a handicap at Doncaster most recently. He's 3lb lower now and is taken to bounce back here, but Montelusa has been knocking on the door of late and remains of interest on his stable bow for Jake Thomas Coulson. The unexposed Motasaleeta is related to a few smart types and she should not be taken lightly on her turf debut.
Prediction : 1st Manitou 2nd Montelusa 3rd Motasaleeta

DESTINED opened her account in stylish fashion when winning at Redcar 26 days ago. She's potentially well treated from an opening mark of 70 judged on her earlier novice form and it looks best to side with the Havana Grey filly once more. Musical Tribute should give her running and appeals most of the remainder, while recent Chelmsford scorer Poweredbylove is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Destined 2nd Musical Tribute 3rd Poweredbylove

RAINCLOUD took a step forward when finishing a good third on her handicap debut at Bath 13 days ago and any further improvement could see the daughter of Ulysses get off the mark here. Future Times hit the woodwork at Hamilton last time out and looks ready to exploit his sliding handicap mark. Urban Champion shouldn't be too far away if able to replicate his recent Wolverhampton second now back on the grass.
Prediction : 1st Raincloud 2nd Future Times 3rd Urban Champion
