UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Recent winners One Of Our Own and My Boy Jack both have a 5lb penalty to overcome, with the former boasting stronger credentials following her success in a Catterick handicap last week. The vote, though, goes to Q TWENTY BOY after his nose defeat at Salisbury, when caught on the line. The nine-year-old, who scored at Wolverhampton in April, is more than capable of going one better, while Carlton And Co appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Q Twenty Boy 2nd One Of Our Own 3rd Carlton And Co

George Boughey has already enjoyed success with his two-year-old runners here this season and the Newmarket handler is fancied to enhance that record with SIXTEEN ONE, who is a half-sister to a juvenile winner. Bay Of Dreams is related to some useful types and commands plenty of respect, while Forteleza represents a stable that is always worth a second look with debutants.
Prediction : 1st Sixteen One 2nd Bay Of Dreams 3rd Forteleza

EMPORESS' third start, when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton in June, was her best run so far, making some decent headway before her effort petered out in the closing stages. Given some time since, the daughter of Mehmas appeals on her nursery debut off what appears to be a very fair mark. She Went Whoosh would be capable of a decent showing if repeating the form of her debut second at Ripon, with Tees Aggregates and Stat Goddess completing the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Emporess 2nd She Went Whoosh 3rd Tees Aggregates

This appears to be a good opportunity for THRILLING DREAM to follow up his success at Leicester, where he scored by three and a half lengths. Ed Dunlop's three-year-old was eased towards the finish and the 6lb penalty may not be enough to halt his progression. Burlington House rates as the biggest danger after being dropped 1lb for finishing only fifth when sent off favourite over 1m2f at Beverley. Douglas Dc completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Thrilling Dream 2nd Burlington House 3rd Douglas Dc

Valkyrian arrives seeking a hat-trick after wins at Lingfield and Chepstow and is likely to offer another bold bid, although having raised a further 3lb for a half-length success, she may be vulnerable to a better-treated rival. The nod goes to MAKEEN, who didn't get a lot of luck but still ran on into fifth over the extended mile at Hamilton and has been dropped 1lb. Island Native is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Makeen 2nd Valkyrian 3rd Island Native

After getting off the mark at the second attempt at Newcastle, this appears to be an open goal for TEN POUNDS. Harry Charlton's charge landed the odds in comfortable fashion by more than three lengths on that occasion and a repeat of that effort would see him very difficult to beat, despite his penalty. Calanthe and Cables Queen can give the selection most to think about on their first taste of racecourse action.
Prediction : 1st Ten Pounds 2nd Calanthe 3rd Cables Queen
