UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

FOLLOWCATO hasn't looked back since getting off the mark at Ludlow in December with the seven-year-old scoring twice since at Exeter and Hereford. Ben Pauling's charge is improving at a fair rate of knots and an 8lb rise might not stop him from continuing on his merry way. Major Fortune remains on the same mark as his second at Newbury last month, while Taita Hills is capable of better than what he has shown so far over fences.
Prediction : 1st Followcato 2nd Major Fortune 3rd Taita Hills

ERIC CARMEN appears to have found a new lease of life this season, having won on three occasions, and a 4lb rise for his Market Rasen success seems to be very fair. However, he does face an interesting rival in the shape of River Run Free, who won here over further in January before a mediocre effort at Ffos Las. Begin The Luck has dropped to his last winning mark and isn't without a chance.
Prediction : 1st Eric Carmen 2nd River Run Free 3rd Begin The Luck

FAY CE QUE VOUDRAS bids for a hat-trick of victories at this track after winning twice last month. The handicapper raised her 7lb, which matches the penalty given for the latest success last Tuesday, and it wouldn't be a huge surprise if she had more in the locker. Subtle Fortune was a fortunate winner on her chasing bow at Hereford but she did improve on her hurdles form and is noted. One Last Glance and Esperti can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Fay Ce Que Voudras 2nd Subtle Fortune 3rd One Last Glance

Since beginning her chasing career with a Bangor/Huntingdon double, MOLTO BENE has been set some stiff assignments but has emerged with plenty of credit. She filled the runner-up berth in a Listed event over hurdles at Doncaster before chasing home the high-class Panic Attack back in this sphere at Newbury, so a mark of 122 definitely seems workable. Taxus Baccata made a solid enough start for her new yard when second at Wetherby and the winner has franked the form since. Demoiselle Kap should appreciate the return to the larger obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Molto Bene 2nd Taxus Baccata 3rd Demoiselle Kap

Falco Des Pins was sent off a shade of odds-on at Ludlow, but had to dig deep to justify it. He may have pulled out more if required, but a 6lb higher mark is still a concern and he is passed over in favour of GRAIN TRADE. The Billy Aprahamian-trained seven-year-old weakened over 2m3f at Market Rasen and is selected instead thanks to his previous second to a subsequent winner over an extended 2m at Huntingdon. Night Jet and Lucky Lugger took minor honours over C&D and little should separate them again.
Prediction : 1st Grain Trade 2nd Falco Des Pins 3rd Night Jet

SNIPE claimed the scalp of Stattler at Hereford before finishing a well-beaten fourth at Taunton. He paid the price for eyeballing a smart hunter chaser in bottomless ground, though, and can be given another chance. A Jet Of Our Own was a long way behind Dan Skelton's inmate at Hereford and a bigger threat might come in the shape of Densworth, who ran at the Cheltenham Festival a year ago and blew the cobwebs away between the flags recently.
Prediction : 1st Snipe 2nd Densworth 3rd A Jet Of Our Own
