UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Recent Brighton scorer AMATHUS appeared to handle a bit of cut in the ground when second over C&D in May and a 4lb rise for that latest success might not stop him from going in again. Bear To Dream has been knocking hard at the door recently and appeals as the most likely threat, while market support for handicap debutant Wrydcroft would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Amathus 2nd Bear To Dream 3rd Wrydcroft

Ahamoment came close to exploiting a sliding handicap mark when filling the runner-up spot at Musselburgh latest so he merits respect, as does the consistent Shark Two One. All Too Beautiful is another that arrives in good form, but she has stamina to prove and a chance can be taken on GRAND CITADEL. The daughter of Ribchester changed yards after a below-par Doncaster effort in July, but perhaps returning to this C&D which saw her to best effect the start prior can spark a revival.
Prediction : 1st Grand Citadel 2nd Ahamoment 3rd Shark Two One

Second on both of her racecourse appearances to date, Sydney Rock sets the standard and is expected to mount another serious challenge. However, Karl Burke's youngsters have been somewhat inevitable this season and EMILIA CASANOVA could continue that trend. There are a number of notable newcomers, though, including Miss Scott, Palace Artois, Lady Of Clover and Winged One, all of which require a market check.
Prediction : 1st Emilia Casanova 2nd Sydney Rock 3rd Miss Scott

PERFECT LOCATION won a maiden race at Southwell in July that has worked out really well. She faced a tougher assignment at Newmarket last time, but has to be of interest now handicapping for the first time and Tom Ward's filly gets another chance. Placed in all three outings so far, Spacewoman also merits consideration on her nursery debut, while Piazza is not totally discounted in this lower grade.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Location 2nd Spacewoman 3rd Piazza

John & Thady Gosden's yard has a fine strike rate at this venue and GO RIMBAUD could edge affairs. His dam is related to a couple of Group 1 winners and breeding suggests today's trip should be within his compass. The 200,000gns purchase Eklleem is a half-brother to a couple of winners and could shape well at the first time of asking, while Moving Shadow and Hard Evidence are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Go Rimbaud 2nd Eklleem 3rd Moving Shadow

Participle failed to land the odds when only third at Ffos Las and connections reach for the cheekpieces. She could land a blow, but MAJAZ is taken to end a frustrating run of seconds. The daughter of Dubawi did little wrong when run down in the final strides at Newcastle last time and Roger Varian's charge gets another chance. Desert Spring will likely improve for the extra yardage and is worth a second look on her belated reappearance.
Prediction : 1st Majaz 2nd Participle 3rd Desert Spring

DREAM ILLUSION bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Haydock last time out and a 1lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from landing a second career success. An intriguing sort on handicap debut after three highly promising runs, Secret Sonata must enter calculations off top weight, as well as Margorie, who goes up in trip after a taking success at Windsor earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Dream Illusion 2nd Secret Sonata 3rd Margorie

KRANJCAR has been on a roll this month with three straight wins, and dropping back to 6f should not inconvenience him as he looks to overcome a 5lb penalty for his most recent success at Brighton. Back to form with a taking success over this trip at Chepstow earlier in the month, Connie's Rose is a player off 5lb higher, while similar comments apply to On Edge, who has been in consistent form lately without getting his head in front.
Prediction : 1st Kranjcar 2nd Connies Rose 3rd On Edge
