UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

A promising second on his debut over hurdles for new connections at Stratford, SIXMILEBRIDGE is entitled to improve plenty on that effort and, as a former point-to-pointer, the step up in trip is likely to suit. The five-year-old gets the vote ahead of Newcastle bumper winner Lawrenny and Je Viens Du Large, who wasn't disgraced when fourth over C&D last month. Sole Solution and Tintagel Queen are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Sixmilebridge 2nd Lawrenny 3rd Je Viens Du Large

A tad unlucky not to get his head in front last season, WILLIAMDECONQUEROR looks to have been found an ideal opportunity on his first run since February, and soft ground should play to his strengths. A relatively promising third over C&D last month, Shesupincourt is capable of building on that effort, while Pearl Island is interesting on his chase debut for the in-form Henry Daly team.
Prediction : 1st Williamdeconqueror 2nd Shesupincourt 3rd Pearl Island

INSIDE MAN arrives on the back of a taking success at Exeter and there is likely to be plenty more to come from the four-year-old, despite having to carry a 10lb penalty. Carismatic Soldier showed up well when second on his debut in a Huntingdon bumper in March and he must enter calculations, along with French import Authodidacte and Malinificent, who is related to the stable's smart staying chaser Bob Mahler.
Prediction : 1st Inside Man 2nd Carismatic Soldier 3rd Malinificent

In a moderate event, a chance can be taken on TRUST HOUSE, who won on the Flat and he may be suited by this switch to handicap company. Night Jet could prove to be the main danger based on an encouraging fifth at Ludlow two starts ago, while Mr Zee edges out Nedzor and Mount Washington to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Trust House 2nd Night Jet 3rd Mr Zee

SAMAZUL failed to fire on his most recent outing at Fontwell, but that followed a success at the same venue in October. It would be no surprise to see Ben Pauling's gelding bounce back to form given how weak this race appears to be. Johnny Mac was well held when third at Warwick but should not be underestimated, while similar comments apply to My Portia.
Prediction : 1st Samazul 2nd Johnny Mac 3rd My Portia

SHANTWOPOINTFIVE had plenty in hand when winning a maiden hurdle at Cartmel in May and she merits the utmost respect on her handicap debut, despite a 194-day break. Easy To Follow only found one too good on her return to action at Bangor and is likely to be in the mix once again. The shortlist is completed by Leading Choice and McGowan's Pass.
Prediction : 1st Shantwopointfive 2nd Easy To Follow 3rd Leading Choice

FILLYFUDGE made the frame on her return to hurdling over C&D last month and Amy Murphy's mare gets the vote off the same mark here. Passing Kate was a consistent performer last season and should not be underestimated in this company, even if a 227-day layoff is a slight concern. Twyford's Diamond has had a wind operation since her last appearance and any market support for her would have to be noted.
Prediction : 1st Fillyfudge 2nd Passing Kate 3rd Twyfords Diamond
