UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Victory Gold was an encouraging second on debut at Ascot and should improve. However, that form took a knock at York on Saturday and there are grounds for taking him on with LIBERTANGO. A daughter of No Nay Never, who cost 130,000 euros as a yearling before fetching 400,000gns at the Craven breeze-up last month, the selection is related to some useful types and her 5lb sex allowance is a handy asset. Miami To Ibiza and Savage Mariner are other attractively-bred options.
Prediction : 1st Libertango 2nd Victory Gold 3rd Miami To Ibiza

ABRAHAMSEN, whose dam is related to serval winners, is the only one lacking experience but connections securing the services of Oisin Murphy suggests they mean business. Given the likes of Parading, Showmethebubbles and Bluestone Lady haven't shown much to get excited about so far, this could be a good starting point for the son of Kodi Bear. The biggest danger may be Jazzy Bay, who wasn't beaten far when sixth on debut at Chepstow and he won't need much of a step forward to go close.
Prediction : 1st Abrahamsen 2nd Jazzy Bay 3rd Parading

CROWNRIGHT is an obvious one after finishing in the money on both her previous starts. Having finished a good second to the exciting So Regal at Ascot on her seasonal debut, this daughter of Frankel has the potential to make good progress. Considering the previous winners El Vamos, Caim and Seet all have to have 5lb penalties to shoulder, this appears to be a good piece of placement.
Prediction : 1st Crownright 2nd El Vamos 3rd Caim

HATAMOTO wasn't able to justify favouritism on his handicap bow at Carlisle, but he lost little in defeat by finishing second. Tim Easterby turns the gelding out relatively quickly and with further improvement likely, he can reward those that keep the faith. Billy Loughnane gets aboard Zoulette for the first time and she's of interest back at 7f, as is She's Crafty, who acquires the services of Colin Keane.
Prediction : 1st Hatamoto 2nd Zoulette 3rd Shes Crafty

HAPPY CHANDLER has only had two attempts at this distance, one of which resulted in a cosy C&D win. Runner-up to a subsequent winner at Windsor last time out, he remains capable of better and makes the most appeal. Myna merits respect following his track-and-trip triumph, while Study Up is next best despite having stamina to prove at the trip.
Prediction : 1st Happy Chandler 2nd Myna 3rd Study Up

Having found only a 75-rated rival too strong at Nottingham last month, an opening mark of 70 could prove to be lenient for FRANTIC. Ed Walker's filly has already shown a liking for this venue when finishing a close second on her debut over C&D last October and she ticks plenty of the right boxes. Polka Blue has posted two creditable efforts in defeat on the all-weather this season and she looks the biggest danger, ahead of Blindfold Games.
Prediction : 1st Frantic 2nd Polka Blue 3rd Blindfold Games

Alice De Clare arrives on the back of a comfortable victory at Yarmouth and she's sure to prove a warm order to follow up. That said, the assessor has reacted in kind with a 9lb hike and there could some value in ZIPWIRE. The Bungle Inthejungle gelding was poorly positioned off a sedate gallop when third at Wolverhampton three weeks ago and his previous performances give him every chance. Pentonville is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zipwire 2nd Alice De Clare 3rd Pentonville
