UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

LUNA CELESTE has the strongest form on offer. A close second in both starts on the all-weather, the daughter of Kodi Bear has shown plenty of ability and looks to have an easier opportunity in this company. Reader ran well for a long way when third at Pontefract on her reappearance. Ashley Lewis' 5lb allowance helps her cause, while Whazzimo is a likely improver having run green at Southwell on debut.
Prediction : 1st Luna Celeste 2nd Reader 3rd Whazzimo

ROGUE DEFENCE showed good battling qualities to win over a mile at Lingfield on last month's debut. He left the strong impression this extra test of stamina would suit and is taken to defy a penalty under Billy Loughnane. Better is expected from Adalo tackling middle-distances for the first time, while Picaro took a step forward on his latest start and Snapback is a newcomer to note.
Prediction : 1st Rogue Defence 2nd Adalo 3rd Picaro

GRAND CITADEL won last year's renewal off the same mark. She warmed up nicely for this repeat bid when beaten only a length on the turf at Lingfield, and the daughter of Ribchester could prove the one to side with. Back From Dubai resumed winning ways at Doncaster recently and another good effort seems likely. Mini Mac slips further down the weights and could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Grand Citadel 2nd Back From Dubai 3rd Mini Mac

Having looked unlucky when denied a clear run at Yarmouth, Jimmy Knocker ended last year's campaign with a victory at Newmarket. However, a 4lb rise and 297-day layoff are grounds to take him on and the in-form SPIRIT OF JENNY rates as the most solid proposition. Steph Hollinshead's filly arrives on the back of a victory at Southwell and a 3lb higher mark could prove to be lenient. Skellig Isle is a feasible alternative.
Prediction : 1st Spirit Of Jenny 2nd Jimmy Knocker 3rd Skellig Isle

MYTHICAL BIRD ran out a ready winner on her seasonal bow at Lingfield and there could be more to come. Although the assessor has reacted with an 8lb rise, the four-year-old is relatively unexposed and should take some stopping if proving as effective on turf. Qitaal arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Hamilton and continues to slide down the ratings. Charlie Johnston's charge may give the selection most to think about, ahead of the down-in-class Rockin' The Boat.
Prediction : 1st Mythical Bird 2nd Qitaal 3rd Rockin The Boat

DO BRONXS showed much more when a close fifth in a competitive event on his handicap debut at Chester earlier in the month. On that evidence, the son of Oasis Dream could be hard to stop on this occasion. Jazl has to be respected having got off the mark at Windsor recently, while Enricher and Front Line Fury are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Do Bronxs 2nd Jazl 3rd Enricher

MOON OVER THE SEA's winning run came to an end at Bath, but that second-placed finish was still respectable. The in-form gelding appears to be the safest pick in an open event. Gearing's Point chased home the selection at Windsor and could do so once again, while Clipsham Noble and Little She are others who have to enter the equation.
Prediction : 1st Moon Over The Sea 2nd Gearings Point 3rd Clipsham Noble
