UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Turned out again quickly after a comfortable success at Bath last week, EMPORESS looks more than capable of following up under a 6lb penalty, with Oisin Murphy taking over in the saddle. Narrowly denied on his handicap debut over 7f at Newcastle, Wiesaam could go close on the drop in trip, while similar comments apply to Specified, who ran a career best when runner-up at Chelmsford last time out.
Prediction : 1st Emporess 2nd Wiesaam 3rd Specified

A promising third when keeping on from off the pace at Salisbury last time out, PAY ATTENTION should be able to build on that effort. Tom Ward's charge gets the vote ahead of Summer Of Light, who was an eye-catcher at Bath last week when staying on well for third over a shorter trip. Connie's Way hasn't shown much since a creditable debut at Hamilton in August, but she cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Pay Attention 2nd Summer Of Light 3rd Connies Way

Two-year-olds usually know their job first time out for the Charlie Johnston yard, and ROSSO LEVANTO could be primed to strike being a half-sister to Adjuvant, who himself scored on debut. The daughter of Waldgeist is bred to improve over further, but she can get the better of fellow newcomer Luisa, whose dam was a multiple Group 1 winner. Miss Lalita is the pick of those with experience.
Prediction : 1st Rosso Levanto 2nd Luisa 3rd Miss Lalita

SOUNDS OF SPRING only found one too good when trying to follow up his Ffos Las win two starts ago at Carlisle last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give him a big chance here. The unexposed Dancing Sapphire has to be of some interest on her handicap debut, while similar comments apply to Idle Assembly. Others to note are Papabella and Silent Flame.
Prediction : 1st Sounds Of Spring 2nd Dancing Sapphire 3rd Idle Assembly

HEDGE FUND bounced back to form when second off this mark over 5f at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and that form gives him a big chance here. The Ridler and Makanah are both more than capable of going well in a race of this nature but neither are the most prolific of winners these day. Stone Circle disappointed last time but is a player based on his C&D second the time before.
Prediction : 1st Hedge Fund 2nd The Ridler 3rd Makanah

STRESSFREE ran out a cosy winner of a Chester handicap over 1m2f last month and, judging by the style of that victory, a 4lb rise may underestimate him. The unexposed Galyx wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth on his handicap debut over this trip at Newbury last time and he warrants respect. The Epsom winner Lord Melbourne completes the shortlist, although this step back in trip leaves him with a question to answer.
Prediction : 1st Stressfree 2nd Galyx 3rd Lord Melbourne

TEMPER TRAP lost little in defeat when a close-up second over a mile at Musselburgh six days ago, and he gets the vote to atone for that near-miss off the same mark. Ratafia endured a luckless passage when finishing down the field over 7f at Redcar last month, and it would be no surprise if he were to bounce back to form. Ballsbridge completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Temper Trap 2nd Ratafia 3rd Ballsbridge
