UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Form-wise, mixed messages have come out of the Nottingham maiden in which FAIRY WELL finished fourth, but there was plenty of encouragement to take from that effort and this 180,000gns daughter of Dark Angel can take the necessary step forward. Coat Of Red occupied the same position on her introduction at Goodwood and the winner went on to take fourth in the Albany. Pure Majesty only beat one home on her Newmarket debut, but she cost 300,000gns and much better is expected.
Prediction : 1st Fairy Well 2nd Coat Of Red 3rd Pure Majesty

Amber Ocean is the only previous winner in the field after turning over an odds-on favourite at Chepstow and is closely matched with Wolf's Gallop on a line through the runner-up. My Maria made a promising nursery debut when second at Yarmouth, although she has been bumped up 2lb. Pj's Corner took a big step forward at Bath, but a chance is taken that PRETTY LITTLE BABY can progress sufficiently to make amends for her Hamilton third.
Prediction : 1st Pretty Little Baby 2nd Amber Ocean 3rd Wolfs Gallop

Moving Shadow hasn't been seen since finishing mid-division in a Newmarket novice event in October that has worked out very well. He looked useful when making a successful debut at Leicester, but recent match practice gives SIWA OASIS an edge. Charlie Hills' colt has run behind some smart opponents and although he couldn't justify favouritism at Leicester, he can get back on track now dropped to a more suitable trip. Yordan cost 160,000gns as a yearling and is worth watching on this belated introduction.
Prediction : 1st Siwa Oasis 2nd Moving Shadow 3rd Yordan

MELISSA HONEY is likely to be a tough nut to crack in search of a third win from her last four outings. The four-year-old scored over C&D last time and a 2lb rise appears to be more than fair for Michael Herrington's filly. Rye has been mostly consistent in 2026 and can bounce back from a slightly underwhelming effort at Goodwood. Von Krolock and Tomarlo complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Melissa Honey 2nd Rye 3rd Von Krolock

The step up to 1m3f saw CLOCKER in a better light when getting off the mark at Hamilton and this appears to be a fine opportunity for Ed Bethell's charge to back that performance up. Captain Cairney ran well here over 1m2f in June and he could be the main threat, while This Rib is entitled to build on his latest fifth at Ayr.
Prediction : 1st Clocker 2nd Captain Cairney 3rd This Rib

Cancelled took a step back in the right direction when fourth at Beverley and she commands plenty of respect off a 1lb lower mark. However, the vote goes to SPIRITOFTHEBLUES. The daughter of Time Test can benefit from dropping back in trip after her latest third at Ayr and take advantage of what looks to be a winnable contest on paper. Battosai heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Spiritoftheblues 2nd Cancelled 3rd Battosai
