UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

MACCARELLU recorded some useful form when racing in France and this could prove a suitable opportunity for him to make a winning stable bow. Venetia Williams' gelding has already proved himself in testing conditions and is taken to repel chief threat Patrimonio. The four-year-old fetched 80,000 pounds after finishing second in an Irish point-to-point and market support would be interesting. Hot To Go may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Maccarellu 2nd Patrimonio 3rd Hot To Go

Having posted creditable efforts in defeat at Uttoxeter and Exeter, Mind Hunter is likely to be at the forefront of the market given the question marks surrounding most of his rivals. However, he may prefer quicker ground conditions and could be worth taking on with ARCTIC SAINT. Deborah Cole's inmate finished third in last year's renewal, and the reapplication of cheekpieces could eke out the necessary improvement. Jukebox D'eddy is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Arctic Saint 2nd Mind Hunter 3rd Jukebox Deddy

Manganese ran out a ready winner on her debut in France and it will be interesting to see if she attracts support in the market on her UK/stable bow. However, TRAD JAZZ was a decent sort on the level during the spring and she could have too much toe for these rivals. James Owen's filly was last seen finishing a respectable fourth in a Listed event at Goodwood and holds obvious claims. Emily Rebecca may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Trad Jazz 2nd Manganese 3rd Emily Rebecca

With a few having something to prove, it looks best to side with LITTLE VENICE, who is able to compete from an unchanged mark having struck the woodwork at Uttoxeter. Neil Mulholland's filly won't need much more to break her hurdling duck, although nor will Voodoo Angel, who could benefit from the application of first-time cheekpieces. Kupka Vallis completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Little Venice 2nd Voodoo Angel 3rd Kupka Vallis

Despite finishing a well-held fourth on his hurdling bow at Cheltenham last month, this will be much less taxing for ISLAND BRIDGE. The five-year-old ought to relish testing conditions, given that his point win came on heavy ground, and natural improvement may suffice. Kicour La finished second between the flags in February and is of interest on this Rules bow, while Our Bobby Dazzler is worth some thought.
Prediction : 1st Island Bridge 2nd Kicour La 3rd Our Bobby Dazzler

WISE GUY failed to live up to market expectations on his return at Ffos Las recently, but that effort may be worth forgiving. Stuart Edmunds' gelding has been eased 2lb in the handicap, meaning he is now 10lb lower than when a beaten favourite in this contest 12 months ago. With that in mind, he could go close. Kalkaroo and Snapius are feared most.
Prediction : 1st Wise Guy 2nd Kalkaroo 3rd Snapius
