UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

MR ZEE made all to record a narrow success at Windsor last month and with a lack of front-runners lining up here, Michael Blake's six-year-old might be afford the same luxury. A subsequent 4lb hike in the ratings doesn't look too harsh and he is fancied to repeat the dose, possibly at the main expense of Bay Of Naples. Others to note include Hot Team and Iconique.
Prediction : 1st Mr Zee 2nd Bay Of Naples 3rd Hot Team

In a race full of unknown quantities, only a tentative vote can go to SPIRITUAL. The 280,000-euro purchase is likely to be targeted over middle-distances next year, but this could be an ideal starting point, The application of a hood should come as no concern for a stable who have been known to employ similar tactics. Surveyor shaped with promise on her debut last month and is likely to be thereabouts with improvement on the cards. Elegant Friend and Soft Winds make plenty of appeal on paper, but with William Buick aboard the former for Charlie Appleby, she could be the pick. My Desert Queen is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Spiritual 2nd Surveyor 3rd Elegant Friend

An interesting contest on paper in which a chance can be taken on LINE SHEET. Soft ground might have gone against her at Chester last month, but she ran well for a long way and might be able to build on that back on a sounder surface. Autumn Rose and Mad Punter will both need to improve, but a switch to nurseries might hold the key.
Prediction : 1st Line Sheet 2nd Autumn Rose 3rd Mad Punter

COOL DIVIDEND sets a strong standard on his C&D second last month and a similar performance may be good enough to see the Profitable colt go one place better. Liveandletlive looks a likely improver after running with plenty of promise on his fifth-placed debut at Sandown in August and could give the selection most to think about, although any market support for newcomer Ciro Di Marzio, a half-brother to the Canadian Grade 1-winning Fog Of War, may prove significant.
Prediction : 1st Cool Dividend 2nd Liveandletlive 3rd Ciro Di Marzio

HAARAR returned to form with a solid runner-up effort at Epsom last month and compensation could await on this occasion. Tarraff ran as well as expected on her third-placed finish in a novice event at Windsor in August, with the three-year-old filly expected to remain competitive now entering handicaps off a fair opening mark. Waterloo Sunset has posted several creditable efforts in defeat this season and also merits consideration.
Prediction : 1st Haarar 2nd Tarraff 3rd Waterloo Sunset

A taking winner at Bath last time out, MISS BLUEBELLE must hold every chance of following up off a 6lb higher mark. The four-year-old remains relatively unexposed and she gets the vote ahead of the likes of Epsom runner-up Oh So Grand and Zarabanda, who arrives on a hat-trick, but both those wins were on soft ground. Newbury winner Al Hargah and Love You Grandpa are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Miss Bluebelle 2nd Oh So Grand 3rd Zarabanda

Turned out again quickly under a 6lb penalty after scoring readily at Bath last week, MOULIN BOOJ sets the standard on the back of that and conditions should be in his favour once more. Leodis Dream bounced back to winning ways at Beverley earlier in the month and looks to be a key contender, along with the prolific Hurt You Never, who could be suited by dropping back in distance.
Prediction : 1st Moulin Booj 2nd Leodis Dream 3rd Hurt You Never
