UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

DAVVY shed his maiden tag at Redcar prior to running flat and being well beaten at Chester last month. David Evans' youngster could bounce back from that effort and he sets the standard with an official rating of 72. Mare Of London possibly regressed from her third at Kempton when fifth at Brighton in May, but this looks easier and she ought to have a say. Gullane Girl completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Davvy 2nd Mare Of London 3rd Gullane Girl

NARDRA shed her maiden tag at Haydock last September and wasn't disgraced when fifth in the Nell Gwyn at Newmarket in April. William Haggas' filly sets a lofty standard for the others to aim at and will prove very hard to beat. Express Train failed to build on his promising third on debut when well beaten at Doncaster last time, but he might be worth another chance. Strobelight changed hands for 85,000 pounds as a yearling and is one to watch in the betting market.
Prediction : 1st Nardra 2nd Express Train 3rd Strobelight

SANSANETTI put her three underwhelming maiden/novice starts behind her when stepping up in trip to score on her handicap bow at Chelmsford last month. Stuart Williams' filly competes off a 6lb higher mark, but that is unlikely to prevent her from going in again. Offiah's Boy has run well in classified stakes the last twice and is an interesting contender back in handicap company, while Ricardo Phillips is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Sansanetti 2nd Offiahs Boy 3rd Ricardo Phillips

THIS FARH and Gundogan could be the pair to focus on. The latter has shown distinct promise since joining Ross Burdon, with his last couple of starts at Chelmsford being more encouraging. Assuming he settles better, switching to turf could be a prompt for another bold showing. However, there is more substance to the turf form shown by This Farh, who won't need to find much to go one better than his recent second-placed finish at Newbury. Panelli and Carron also command respect.
Prediction : 1st This Farh 2nd Gundogan 3rd Panelli

CUBAN FIESTA hit the front a fraction too soon when he was narrowly overhauled near the finish at Yarmouth last month and is an attractive proposition nudged up just 1lb. With the forecast ground conditions looking ideal, compensation is attainable. Roscioli has a similar profile after his near miss at Bath most recently, while Pessoa has some solid form to his name but a winless record on turf casts some doubt for his win-only prospects.
Prediction : 1st Cuban Fiesta 2nd Roscioli 3rd Pessoa

SWEET SONATA had more in hand than the one-length winning margin suggested when she won a similar race at Goodwood three weeks ago. Still open to improvement, a 4lb higher mark should be manageable for Rod Millman's three-year-old. Tsarinas Song has shown promise in her four previous starts and is one to keep a close eye on in the betting now she goes with a hood added. Bonnita drops in trip for her handicap debut and is another unexposed type to consider.
Prediction : 1st Sweet Sonata 2nd Tsarinas Song 3rd Bonnita
