UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

After making a successful beginning to her career at Chelmsford, CAPO VATICANO lost absolutely nothing in defeat when third to a couple of useful performers at Hamilton. Andrew Balding's speedy filly might be able to dictate terms to suit herself and if that is the case, she may not be for catching. Good Good Good had a subsequent winner back in third when winning at Yarmouth on debut and is the obvious threat. Her stablemate Kranjcar's price went down from 150,000gns as a yearling to 36,000gns last month, but he is still worth a look.
Prediction : 1st Capo Vaticano 2nd Good Good Good 3rd Kranjcar

RAVENGLASS went some way to putting an ordinary Chepstow display behind him when making the frame at Bath. He has performed well in defeat for much of this year and although his winless run stretches back to August 2022, recent Yarmouth third Love Your Work seems his biggest threat and that one hasn't managed to get his head in front for well over two years. Love Is A Rose is slowly finding her feet since joining Michael Wigham and is one to consider at potentially bigger odds.
Prediction : 1st Ravenglass 2nd Love Your Work 3rd Love Is A Rose

Hurtle loves to hear his hooves rattle and even the official good going at Brighton wasn't quick enough for him last time. He beat Alioski to the runner-up berth at Bath last month and is capable of much better but a safer option is TROJAN TRUTH, who justified favouritism with a determined display at Windsor and is only 2lb higher. Khangai was beaten just half a length into third over 1m2f at Nottingham, although he still needs to prove he stays this far.
Prediction : 1st Trojan Truth 2nd Hurtle 3rd Alioski

Having scored over C&D in some style earlier this month, another bold bid is forecast from DIBBLE DABBLE. That was the Time Test filly's first outing on turf and she could make light work of a 7lb higher mark. The biggest challenge may be mounted by Alvesta, who arrives on the back of a solid second at Bath, while Wetherby runner-up Mariner also appears capable of landing a race at this level.
Prediction : 1st Dibble Dabble 2nd Alvesta 3rd Mariner

TEN COMMITMENTS has filled the runner-up berth over 6f on his last two appearances, at Salisbury and Nottingham, and he looks ready for another tilt at 7f. The Jamie Osborne-trained three-year-old is taken to defy a 4lb rise in the ratings, possibly at the main expense of the reappearing Super Hit. Having undergone a gelding procedure since his third-placed effort at Southwell in March, Marco Botti's charge is open to improvement. Bantry makes most appeal of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Ten Commitments 2nd Super Hit 3rd Bantry

ASPIRE TO GLORY didn't do himself any favours when hanging right at Ripon last week, but he wasn't beaten too far at the finish and reappears quickly before his 1lb rise can come into effect. Salamanca Lad has offered encouragement since joining new connections, particularly with his recent effort for third at Ripon. Monks Mead is another to consider on the step back up in trip, and there is a chance the beautifully-bred Hey Big Spender is thrown in on her handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Aspire To Glory 2nd Salamanca Lad 3rd Monks Mead

A determined winner at Redcar last time out, SCOOPS AHOY should have plenty more improvement forthcoming off a 2lb higher mark and he looks the one to beat if handling the quicker ground. A winner at Bath in April, Maharajas Express hasn't quite rediscovered that form since but he is a key player, along with Miami Heat, who makes just his third start for the in-form George Boughey stable.
Prediction : 1st Scoops Ahoy 2nd Miami Heat 3rd Maharajas Express
