UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

DOUBLETALK got off the mark in good fashion at Beverley last week and she could be tough to catch around here with conditions ideal under her penalty. Beaten just three-quarters of a length in second that day, Whatwouldiknow has strong claims to get closer to the selection with a decent pull at the weights and is the obvious danger. There should be more to come from Salsa Dancer and Brooklyn Express, both of whom are worth monitoring in the market.
Prediction : 1st Doubletalk 2nd Whatwouldiknow 3rd Salsa Dancer

Al Shabab took a step forward when third at Brighton last time and may well improve again, while Mr Monaco got outpaced on debut but shaped with plenty of promise and this extra furlong should be of major benefit today. Slight preference is for HIGH POINT, who is likely to need a bit further in time, but his debut effort when a close third at Epsom suggests he should be able to win at this trip and he can get off the mark at the second attempt.
Prediction : 1st High Point 2nd Mr Monaco 3rd Al Shabab

Game Breaker is sure to be popular after her opening win at Thirsk last time but that came on soft ground which seemed to suit her well. Back on a sound surface and up 8lb in the ratings, she has questions to answer. Slight preference is for TIERNEY, who won really well two starts back but didn't seem to appreciate the softer surface at Newmarket last time. With firmer conditions on offer this evening, she can resume her progression to get back in the winner's enclosure. Handicap newcomers Heritage House and Invincible Tiger have the potential to do better and both require market checks.
Prediction : 1st Tierney 2nd Game Breaker 3rd Heritage House

ALICE KNYVET posted her best effort to date when a staying-on second at Bath last month and a similar level of performance off only 1lb higher in the ratings could be good enough here. Matty Too was recently thwarted in his hat-trick bid when denied by a neck in third at Brighton and may unlock some potential now upped in trip to a mile. Golden Sands races off a career-high mark but is dangerous to discount if gaining an uncontested lead.
Prediction : 1st Alice Knyvet 2nd Matty Too 3rd Golden Sands

Selenachorus is sure to prove popular after completing a quick-fire double over C&D at the start of August, with a 5lb rise looking workable. However, fellow last-time-out winner MILDYJAMA found improvement on the rise to 1m3f at Kempton last Monday and could unlock enough potential over the extra furlong to defy a 6lb penalty. My Chiquita returns to the scene of her last success and rounds off the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Mildyjama 2nd Selenachorus 3rd My Chiquita

Wide-margin winner STAR START escapes a penalty having won an apprentice handicap at Doncaster on Saturday and is hard to oppose on the quick turnaround. Metric offered more to work with when staying on into third on her handicap debut at Lingfield earlier in the month and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Corporate Raider. The three-year-old often runs to his best ability in small-field affairs and is only 3lb higher than his last triumph in June.
Prediction : 1st Star Start 2nd Metric 3rd Corporate Raider
