UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

KAMANIKA has been steadily progressive this season and the previous C&D winner, who struck at Sandown last month, is fancied to shrug off a 2lb rise to repeat the dose. Barney's Angel continues in good form and might give the selection most to think about. Wintercrack has been below par recently but the daughter of Cracksman receives a welcome drop in class and should not be written off.
Prediction : 1st Kamanika 2nd Barneys Angel 3rd Wintercrack

425,000gns purchase PRIMO LARA posted a solid fourth on his Yarmouth debut, having been backed into joint-favourtism, and he can put that experience to good use today. He's related to a couple of Group winners and this looks a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag. It would be no surprise to see the Ralph Beckett-trained Loved By You make a race of it on her debut, while Sharona, who has shown little in her two starts, might be one for handicaps after today.
Prediction : 1st Primo Lara 2nd Loved By You 3rd Sharona

ADAAY IN DEVON was never involved over 7f in a valuable fillies' series final at Goodwood last time. She sets the standard back at 6f, though, and Rod Millman's filly should prove difficult to beat off level weights. Heritage House pushed an improver all the way on her latest outing and she's likely to give the selection most to think about, while Lordsbridge Flyer can't be dismissed following a good second on debut.
Prediction : 1st Adaay In Devon 2nd Heritage House 3rd Lordsbridge Flyer

CHRIS'S MATE proved far more competitive when a close-up second on his handicap bow at Yarmouth last month and the Robyn Brisland-trained colt may land these spoils here off only 2lb higher in the ratings. Bellestarr's stamina appeared to be stretched by the 1m2f distance when fourth on the all-weather at Newcastle last time and better is expected from the filly on the return to a mile. Weston Court makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Chriss Mate 2nd Bellestarr 3rd Weston Court

Although SPIRIT GENIE failed to land a blow when finishing eighth on his stable debut at Newcastle recently, the three-year-old holds outstanding claims on the ratings now dropped into a selling contest and he is hard to oppose. Georgiava is the biggest threat if judged on the figures and, if seeing out the rise in distance, may emerge as the main challenger, ahead of Khathak, who is likely to prove more competitive on his return to this company.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Genie 2nd Georgiava 3rd Khathak

An eye-catcher when not getting a clear run two furlongs out before running on late for fourth at York last month, LOWTON could be primed to return to winning ways on this occasion. The return to softer ground is a plus and he can get the better of Soar Above, who has become well-handicapped of late but is winless since April 2022. Able Kane and the unexposed Legend Of Leros are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Lowton 2nd Soar Above 3rd Legend Of Leros

A couple of these are arriving off long absences and it could pay to side with the race-fit KING OF FURY, who has run very creditably on both starts to date, over this C&D and then at Kempton last week. The form of those contests may not be up to much, but he showed enough to suggest that he can get off the mark in this company. That may be at the main expense of Royal Jet and Cervetto, who has not run since this time last year and makes his first start for the William Jarvis stable.
Prediction : 1st King Of Fury 2nd Cervetto 3rd Royal Jet
