UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

MAPLEDURHAM ran a great deal better than the market expected she would when hitting the frame on her debut at Newbury last month and she could have plenty more to offer. Rod Millman's filly has plenty of speed in her pedigree and she could get off the mark, with her main threat possibly being Calyxoh, who was only denied by a head when second on his first start at Newmarket and he has to be respected. Equalised and Pentle Bay warrant market checks on their respective debuts.
Prediction : 1st Mapledurham 2nd Calyxoh 3rd Equalised

A chance can be taken on LETMEBETHEBOSS, who was way too keen over a mile at Windsor on his first start for the William Muir & Chris Grassick stable, so he can be forgiven for his fifth in that event. The son of Magna Grecia looks worth a flyer on his handicap bow. Magic Rascal wasn't disgraced when fifth at Lingfield on his latest outing and he could have a say off a 3lb higher rating, while Azure Stage is another to keep an eye on.
Prediction : 1st Letmebetheboss 2nd Magic Rascal 3rd Azure Stage

UNDER SIEGE has been unfortunate to bump into two well-above-average rivals in each of his starts to date and he sets a very high standard off the back of those efforts. Andrew Balding's three-year-old may only need to reproduce either of those runner-up displays to go one better. The main danger might be King's Scholar, who took a big leap forward from his debut performance to finish second at Salisbury last month, so he has to be considered. Of the remainder, Sahara View makes the most appeal on debut for the Godolphin team.
Prediction : 1st Under Siege 2nd Kings Scholar 3rd Sahara View

Handicap debutant Calvert ended last season with a breakthrough victory at Bath and Roger Teal's inmate could play a leading role on his return to action. However, REACHING HIGH has the benefit of a recent run, which may prove pivotal. The son of Sea The Stars found only a subsequent winner too strong over 1m2f at Chelmsford last month and this rise in trip looks sure to suit. Educate and User Amistoso are also noted in an open contest.
Prediction : 1st Reaching High 2nd Calvert 3rd Educate

CHARENCEY enjoyed a return to this venue when winning a shade cosily over C&D last month. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for Ian Williams' charge and a brace could be on the cards. The biggest threat may emerge from Hat Toss, who posted his best effort of the year when runner-up at Newmarket last time out, while Metabolt is likely to prove competitive on his return to class 4 company.
Prediction : 1st Charencey 2nd Hat Toss 3rd Metabolt

ALFRED COVE has posted several creditable efforts in defeat on the all-weather in recent months and this return to turf should not be a problem. The five-year-old ticks plenty of the right boxes and he may be able to fend off chief rival Atty's Edge. Christopher Mason's gelding offered something to work with on his reappearance at Bath recently and he's feared most, ahead of Mrs Trump, who was denied a clear run when sixth at Ripon in May.
Prediction : 1st Alfred Cove 2nd Attys Edge 3rd Mrs Trump
