UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

GREAT TRUTH makes a huge amount of appeal on paper, being a son of Dubawi out of a Group 2-winning juvenile, and he may yet be another potentially exciting individual from the Godolphin operation. Phone Tag (third) and Paladin (fifth) both ran with credit behind a stable companion of the selection at Haydock and are entitled to progress on what they achieved. Short Circuit is likely to have benefited from his debut effort at Newbury and is open to a considerable amount of improvement.
Prediction : 1st Great Truth 2nd Phone Tag 3rd Paladin

GEARING'S POINT returned to winning ways at Yarmouth on her latest start and the five-year-old commands plenty of respect off just a 2lb higher mark, especially in a contest of this nature. Blazer Two won over C&D on his penultimate outing and is likely to enter calculations, while others for the shortlist include Lailah, who was behind the selection at Yarmouth and may have more to offer up in trip, and Owens Lad.
Prediction : 1st Gearings Point 2nd Blazer Two 3rd Lailah

ALL ABOUT ALICE disappointed on her yard debut for Dylan Cunha when down the field at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. However, the daughter of Excelebration is worth another chance and gets the vote in what could prove to be a decent opportunity. Trusty Scout is respected following his recent second at Kempton, while Angel On High has been given a chance by the handicapper having been dropped 3lb for his latest run at Lingfield.
Prediction : 1st All About Alice 2nd Trusty Scout 3rd Angel On High

Yoshimi made a pleasing return to turf when scoring by two lengths over this distance at Carlisle on his latest run, but that was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark and he could struggle after a 5lb rise. Therefore, it could pay to side with the unexposed KRACKING, who makes both his turf and handicap bow following a decent second at Kempton last month. An opening mark of 70 looks workable for Clive Cox's inmate, while Wetherby winner Shot Of Love is another to consider off 3lb higher.
Prediction : 1st Kracking 2nd Yoshimi 3rd Shot Of Love

FLORAL SPLENDOUR recorded a staying-on second over an extended 7f at Beverley on her most recent run and a marginally stiffer stamina test can see her make a return to the winner's enclosure. She has only gone up 1lb for the aforementioned outing and there is likely more to come from the four-year-old. Eponina made all over a similar trip at Nottingham earlier this month and is feared most off 3lb higher, while Dungar Glory adds further spice to the race under a 5lb penalty for her last-start success.
Prediction : 1st Floral Splendour 2nd Eponina 3rd Dungar Glory

This could go the way of the progressive APACHE STAR who, despite having to shoulder top-weight here, lost little in defeat off 2lb lower when filling the runner-up spot at Nottingham earlier this month. Although the gelded son of No Nay Never has yet to score on turf, that was a step in the right direction. He is fancied to get the better of the reopposing Buddy's Beauty, who finished in front of the selection last time but is now 3lb worse off with her rival. Bungle Bay completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Apache Star 2nd Buddys Beauty 3rd Bungle Bay

Obama Army posted yet another runner-up effort at Hamilton last Wednesday and shouldn't mind the return to 1m2f in this contest, but a 2lb rise may prevent the Jack Channon-trained gelding from succeeding once more. I STILL HAVE FAITH returned to form when second at Haydock a fortnight ago and he makes most appeal racing off the same rating. The lightly-raced Alhambra Palace makes his handicap debut off what looks a workable mark and warrants consideration.
Prediction : 1st I Still Have Faith 2nd Obama Army 3rd Alhambra Palace

HARRY THE HAGGLER found only an unexposed rival too strong at Chepstow on Monday and the son of Gleneagles holds leading claims turned out quickly off the same mark. Astronomica got the better of a subsequent winner when gaining a breakthrough success at Windsor last month and rates as an obvious threat off only 3lb higher. Ticket To Alaska is best excused his latest fourth-placed finish at Chepstow after rearing leaving the stalls.
Prediction : 1st Harry The Haggler 2nd Astronomica 3rd Ticket To Alaska
