UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

COILED has performed with credit in placing on each of his four starts over shorter to suggest his turn might be near. Eve Johnson Houghton's charge shaped encouragingly when second at Goodwood 27 days ago and could prove hard to beat now stepping up in trip. Addictive is an interesting contender on his turf debut following a couple of spins on the all-weather and is feared most, ahead of Double O One.
Prediction : 1st Coiled 2nd Addictive 3rd Double O One

An open-looking contest, but KEEN INTEREST posted his best effort to date when runner-up at Bath last month and a repeat showing off the same mark of 47 may be enough to see Alice Haynes' gelding open his account. Michael Wigham is 2-5 with his representatives here in the last five seasons, so his Bubblecraft is worth a second look, while Ribkana is another to consider having finished second at Ripon last time out.
Prediction : 1st Keen Interest 2nd Bubblecraft 3rd Ribkana

Having returned a beaten favourite at short odds the last twice, Asinara is proving expensive to follow and can be opposed once more. Preference is for the David Simcock-trained SANT ALESSIO, whose form looks a touch superior and could offer better value. This son of Too Darn Hot bumped into a subsequent winner when second over 1m at Kempton in November, going down by only three-quarters of a length, and is interesting on his first crack at sprinting after a respectable effort over 1m at Thirsk. The grade-dropping Harry Did may do best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Sant Alessio 2nd Asinara 3rd Harry Did

Given Michael Herrington's excellent strike-rate at this venue, dual track-and-trip winner YOSHIMI merits consideration. Successful over C&D last August off a 3lb higher rating, the seven-year-old could make an impact if stepping forward from recent efforts. Handicap debutant King Of Charm could emerge as the main threat after finishing a fine second at Sandown when last seen, while Finbar's Lad was runner-up at Doncaster last month and he cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Yoshimi 2nd King Of Charm 3rd Finbars Lad

The consistent CONNIE'S ROSE is fancied to register an eighth career success. She has been in tremendous form this year, finishing out of the frame just once in eight starts, and looks the way to go despite the burden of top-weight. A winner at Wetherby in April, Canaria Queen arrives on the back of two good placed efforts and could give the selection the most to think about. Handicap debutants Mirroring and Military Queen are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Connies Rose 2nd Canaria Queen 3rd Mirroring

Michael Appleby has his string in good order and his Midnight Missile, who sneaks in at the foot of the weights, could run well. He could only finish seventh at Bath last time out but it would come as no surprise to see an improved display from three-year-old, having been dropped 4lb in the handicap. The vote, however, goes to KALAMA SUNRISE. She completed a hat-trick of victories over 1m when scoring comfortably at Ffos Las 13 days ago and did so with enough in hand to suggest she can defy a 7lb rise. Charlatan produced a solid second at Newmarket last time out off a 1lb lower mark and should remain competitive.
Prediction : 1st Kalama Sunrise 2nd Charlatan 3rd Midnight Missile
