UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

AL WATHBA shaped with bundles of promise when only finding subsequent Vintage Stakes runner-up Haffner too good on his debut at Newmarket and, with improvement likely, he could prove very hard to beat. Ebt's Warrior changed hands for 65,000 euros as a yearling and is a half-brother to Corazon, who was a Group 3 winner as a juvenile. Jimtrott has finished second in both starts so far and isn't out of this either.
Prediction : 1st Al Wathba 2nd Ebts Warrior 3rd Jimtrott

GREEK SYMPHONY has progressed with each of her three appearances, most recently scoring by a neck on her nursery bow at Lingfield, and there might be more to come. The daughter of Sergei Prokofiev goes for the in-form Oliver Cole stable and can defy her 2lb rise. Love Rome was only beaten a length into second behind a subsequent winner at Ayr last time and has to be taken seriously along with Bayside, who wasn't disgraced in third at Kempton last month.
Prediction : 1st Greek Symphony 2nd Love Rome 3rd Bayside

BARAK WARRIOR showed marked improvement after being gelded to make a winning handicap debut at Bath last month and that form is working out well. Even though a 7lb rise makes life tougher for James Keane's charge, he might be up to the task. Mountbatten failed to supplement his Southwell success when last of four over 1m6f at Yarmouth in June, but the application of first-time cheekpieces might eke out more. Of the remainder, Al Maslool makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Barak Warrior 2nd Mountbatten 3rd Al Maslool

Cancelled has to be respected after her C&D win 11 days ago but a 3lb rise demands more from her here. With that in mind, marginal preference is for TAMZAN, who got off the mark at Beverley two starts ago and was a close third off 2lb higher at the same venue last time. Cases can be made for all of the remainder, but Spiritoftheblues is the pick of them.
Prediction : 1st Tamzan 2nd Cancelled 3rd Spiritoftheblues

RAY MON DOUGH was set a stiff task in a valuable contest on his handicap bow at Chester recently. That said, he was not disgraced despite being sixth that day and he should find this to be an easier task. Art Lover is an obvious threat following his second at Chester last month, while Sea Cookie edges out Percy's Star to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Ray Mon Dough 2nd Art Lover 3rd Sea Cookie

Pisanello is bound to be popular following a hat-trick in recent weeks but his new mark demands more from him. Clipsham Noble got up on the line to beat RICARDO PHILLIPS into second by a nose over C&D a couple of weeks ago, but the latter could reverse that form given the winning distance off 2lb better terms. Kameel is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Ricardo Phillips 2nd Clipsham Noble 3rd Pisanello
