UK Horse Racing Tips: Leicester

Ferrystream should find this easier than her latest fourth in a class 2 contest at Newbury and an official rating of 80 represents a fair standard. However, shouldering a 7lb penalty could leave her vulnerable, and LIZZIE BENNET gets the vote. Kevin Ryan's inmate posted a promising second on her debut at Carlisle and should have learned plenty from that experience. Market confidence behind newcomers From Afar and La Torre would be noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Lizzie Bennet 2nd Ferrystream 3rd From Afar

A half-brother to three winners, most notably Listed winner Forever In Dreams, INKJET might take some stopping on his introduction. William Haggas' newcomer ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and a debut victory would come as no surprise. Iwasjustsaying impressed when scoring on his first start at Doncaster and will be out to put his experience to good use, along with Talamon and Astabuen.
Prediction : 1st Inkjet 2nd Iwasjustsaying 3rd Talamon

Having finished third on his debut at Epsom, Palace Legacy was somewhat underwhelming when eighth at Sandown latest. It is too early to be writing off the Palace Pier colt, but MAGIC HARRY looks the one to be with. Tom Clover's colt offered plenty to work with when third over 6f at Pontefract on debut and this step up in distance may prove just the ticket. Muhandes and Sterling Cooper are the pick of the newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Magic Harry 2nd Palace Legacy 3rd Muhandes

FORTUNATE improved for a step up in distance when opening her account at Lingfield last month and there could be more to come. Eve Johnson Houghton's filly scored with enough in hand to suggest that she can win off this mark and edges the vote over Kempton runner-up Perfect Hope. The daughter of Perfect Power is heading in the right direction and isn't taken lightly, while nursery debutant Coul Blue could feature too.
Prediction : 1st Fortunate 2nd Perfect Hope 3rd Coul Blue

SERGEANT MAYER appreciated the drop back to this trip when scoring at Nottingham and connections have found their charge another very winnable opening. This won't take much winning and the five-year-old can double up at the main expense of Staniel Cay, who is holding his form well. Similar sentiments apply to Act Of Violence and he too can get involved.
Prediction : 1st Sergeant Mayer 2nd Staniel Cay 3rd Act Of Violence

VALENTINE CATCHER is going to win a race of this nature sooner rather than later judged on placed efforts the last twice at Carlisle and Hamilton. Not beaten far when third at the latter venue last week, the quick turnaround suggests he's come out of that race in good form and the five-year-old is taken to get the better of Eyes Front and Tomarlo.
Prediction : 1st Valentine Catcher 2nd Eyes Front 3rd Tomarlo

DOVE TALE made it third-time lucky courtesy of an all-the-way Lingfield success and a mark of 79 looks workable for her handicap debut. She should have more improvement to come and is worth siding with representing a top yard. Gaspacho is another who represents a leading Newmarket stable and she's not to be overlooked on a hat-trick, despite the absence. Queen's Companion is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Dove Tale 2nd Gaspacho 3rd Queens Companion

RICARDO PHILLIPS gained the success his previous form deserved when making all over C&D and another bold showing looks assured. First-time cheekpieces might help eke out a bit more improvement and he loves this track, so everything points to a big performance. Of the others, keep a close eye on Carlisle winner Jewel Maker and Charencey, who could be one for the each-way players.
Prediction : 1st Ricardo Phillips 2nd Jewel Maker 3rd Charencey
