13:30 Leicester (Class 5) 20f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (4/5 -19%) Grandad's Cap	0.8 4/5(-19%)	(1) Grandad's Cap 4/5, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; went clear with ease, improved up in trip landing a handicap by 5l off a 7lb lower mark at Market Rasen last time; effective up to 3m on a sound surface; progressive over fences but deep ground bit of a worry. Easy winner at Musselburgh 11 days ago and he's 3lb well in under a penalty; strong claims.
3	3 (3) (2/1 +0%) Moor End	2 2/1(+0%)	(3) Moor End 2/1, Ran to form when second beaten 6l in a handicap chase here latest; tongue-tie first time; effective 2m4f on a sound surface; likely more to come over fences but ground something of a worry. Has done well since switched to chasing and was second over C&D latest; tongue-tie added.
5	5 (5) (4/1 +71%) The Brickey Ranger	4 4/1(+71%)	(5) The Brickey Ranger 4/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a handicap chase at Fontwell last time. Effective at around 2m5f, but is yet to match his Irish form for the new yard and deep ground may not suit. Has struggled in his three handicaps (hurdles/chase) and has lots to prove.
2	2 (2) (8/1 +50%) Italian Spirit	8 8/1(+50%)	(2) Italian Spirit 8/1, Again below best on chase debut tried in cheekpieces comfortably held in a handicap chase at Wincanton last time; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; bit to prove at present and others open to more progress. Bumper/hurdle winner but he was tailed off on chase debut last month; down the list.
7	7 (7) (40/1 +20%) Voleur De Terres	40 40/1(+20%)	(7) Voleur De Terres 40/1, Produced her best run so far over fences when fourth, beaten 31l, in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. She looked in need of a stiffer test, but still requires much more. Record of 708P over hurdles and her struggles have continued over fences this winter.
6	6 (6) (50/1 -25%) Hitthekettle	50 50/1(-25%)	(6) Hitthekettle 50/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Worcester last time and is returning from a break. Effective between 2m3f and 2m6f, but this veteran is hard to fancy on recent evidence. 0-11 under rules and he's struggled in three runs over fences; opposable on return.

13:30 Leicester (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Barring the accuracy of his jumping, GRANDAD'S CAP couldn't have been more impressive when winning in a canter at Market Rasen recently. If the six-year-old runs anywhere near that level of form again, he could prove very hard to beat. Moor End sports a first-time tongue-tie after his runner-up effort at Leicester and needs to be considered along with Owl Of Athens, who makes just his fourth start over fences.

This can go to GRANDAD'S CAP, who bolted up at Market Rasen and is 3lb well in under a penalty. Moor End is the danger.

14:05 Leicester (Class 3) 15f - 4 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
3	3 (3) (5/4 +33%) Epic West	1.25 5/4(+33%)	(3) Epic West 5/4, Improved from his debut despite being taken on up front and setting the race up for closers when beaten 1/2l at Warwick last time, off a 3lb lower mark. Effective around 2m on soft and good to soft, and remains on a fair mark. Point/dual hurdle winner who went close over fences at Warwick last month; big player.
4	4 (4) (15/8 -15%) Mon Champion	1.875 15/8(-15%)	(4) Mon Champion 15/8, Improved on recent form and needed every yard of the trip when landing a handicap by a nose at Hereford last time, off a 4lb lower mark. The trainer is in form; effective over 2m–2m6f on heavy and good to soft, and can go well again after a small rise. Ex-French 6yo who beat a clear second at Hereford 17 days ago; respected up 4lb.
2	2 (2) (5/1 -25%) Milan Tino	5 5/1(-25%)	(2) Milan Tino 5/1, Had every chance but ran below form when fourth, beaten 17l, up in class off a revised mark of 121 last time, the same mark here. Effective over 2m–2m4f on soft and good to soft, though he is inconsistent despite a workable hurdles mark. Won at Ludlow in December but was disappointing at Doncaster latest; needs to bounce back.
1	1 (1) (13/2 -18%) Largy Belter	6.5 13/2(-18%)	(1) Largy Belter 13/2, Was a bit keen and jumped left, with his jumping leaving something to be desired when second, beaten 15l, in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective over 2m–2m4f with cut, and going right-handed should suit, but needs to jump better. Unexposed chaser and he's a possible improver on this drop back in trip.

14:05 Leicester (Class 3) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Mon Champion struck by the smallest of margins at Hereford on his most recent start and is bound to mount a bold bid, but it may pay to side with EPIC WEST. Jamie Snowden's charge finished a long way clear of the third when beaten half a length into second at Warwick and is now 3lb higher. That was a much improved display and he could progress further to strike. Largy Belter can't be ruled out either.

An interesting race in whch the vote goes to MON CHAMPION, who battled well when beating a clear second at Hereford 17 days ago.

14:40 Leicester (Class 5) 22f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (2/1 +11%) Fortunefavorsdbold	2 2/1(+11%)	(1) Fortunefavorsdbold 2/1, Fell at the first in a handicap chase at Catterick latest; effective up to 3m2f, Hy and GS; chance in this provided she's over her fall. Last win was almost two years ago and she didn't get very far at Catterick last time.
5	5 (5) (7/2 +22%) Fay Ce Que Voudras	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(5) Fay Ce Que Voudras 7/2, Fell at the eighth fence when still in contention in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m-2m4f on soft ground, but has yet to match her hurdle form over fences. Sole win was in 2023 and she fell on her return to chasing two weeks ago; others preferred.
4	4 (4) (4/1 +0%) Stamina Chope	4 4/1(+0%)	(4) Stamina Chope 4/1, Poorly placed at sharp track but ran to form up in trip when fourth at Huntingdon latest; usually held up; effective 2m4f-3m1f, acts on S and G; return to fences in his favour. In-form veteran who was won twice this winter and she's respected back over fences.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +29%) Ginderella	5 5/1(+29%)	(6) Ginderella 5/1, Ran to form back hurdling when fourth, beaten 11l, in a handicap hurdle at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m4f-2m7f and ran well on her only previous chase start. Back from long absence with two encouraging efforts (hurdle/chase) this winter; in the mix.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +50%) Flintara	7 7/1(+50%)	(2) Flintara 7/1, Never threatened when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Windsor last time. Suited by 3m and effective on heavy and good ground, but needs more than she has shown of late. On reduced mark and conditions are no problem but she needs a major revival.
7	7 (7) (14/1 +22%) Imperial Pride	14 14/1(+22%)	(7) Imperial Pride 14/1, Took a small step back in the right direction when fourth, beaten 18l, in a handicap chase at Ludlow last time. Effective at 2m4f-3m, but despite a falling mark, needs more. Showed signs of a revival when fourth at Ludlow but she needs to build on that.
3	3 (3) (18/1 -300%) A Little Something	18 18/1(-300%)	(3) A Little Something 18/1, Ran to form when just tiring up the hill after doing plenty early, finishing a 4l third in a handicap hurdle at Fontwell. Returning from a long layoff, effective at 2m-2m5f, and may need this. In good form over hurdles in the spring and needs a close look on her chase debut.

14:40 Leicester (Class 5) 22f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

FORTUNEFAVORSDBOLD fell at the first when favourite at Catterick recently, but she may reward loyal supporters on this occasion. The daughter of Soldier Of Fortune lurks on an appealing mark and the booking of Sean Bowen is noteworthy. A Little Something has been thereabouts the last twice over the smaller obstacles and commands respect on her chasing bow. Stamina Chope is another to note.

10yo STAMINA CHOPE has won over hurdles and fences this winter and she gets the vote ahead of chase debutante A Little Something.

15:15 Leicester (Class 5) 15f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (7/4 +7%) Classical Sting	1.75 7/4(+7%)	(1) Classical Sting 7/4, Ran to form despite a bad error when second beaten 9 1/2l off 98 last time, same mark here; effective around 2m, acts on S; more to come over fences. Won on chase debut at Kelso and he ran into a big improver at Catterick latest; respected.
3	3 (3) (11/4 +8%) Hawk Stone	2.75 11/4(+8%)	(3) Hawk Stone 11/4, Improved from his debut when tried in a visor, just flattening out after errors when beaten 3l off this mark at Ffos Las last time. Effective around 2m, acts with cut, and should be capable of better judged on hurdle form. Unexposed chaser who bounced back with a good second at Ffos Las 13 days ago; respected.
2	2 (2) (7/1 +42%) Lucky Lugger	7 7/1(+42%)	(2) Lucky Lugger 7/1, Let down by jumping when tried in cheekpieces, finishing fourth beaten 17l in a handicap chase at Ffos Las last time. Effective at 2m and may need some cut; inconsistent, but capable on his day. On dangerous mark but he's lost his way and needs a big turnaround.
6	6 (6) (8/1 -7%) Kitsilano	8 8/1(-7%)	(6) Kitsilano 8/1, Ran to form when third, beaten 9 1/2l, in a handicap chase at Market Rasen on his most recent run. Has since undergone a wind operation; effective from 2m to 2m4f, acts on heavy and good to soft ground. Fair third at Market Rasen last time and he's had wind surgery since; could be dangerous.
7	7 (7) (17/2 -42%) Leech	8.5 17/2(-42%)	(7) Leech 17/2, Outpaced, couldn't go gallop, back to form on chase debut 5l third in a handicap chase at Ffos Las most recent run; effective 2m-2m4f, acts with cut; maiden but conditions fine and can go well. Made a promising chase debut at Ffos Las and he ties in with Hawk Stone on that form.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -43%) Night Jet	10 10/1(-43%)	(8) Night Jet 10/1, Won this race last year and had every chance before finishing third, beaten 24l, in a handicap chase at Huntingdon last time. Blinkers are applied for the first time; effective from 2m to 2m4f, but below form this term. Won on chase debut over C&D last February but he's not come close to that form since.
5	5 (5) (16/1 +11%) Urblereagh	16 16/1(+11%)	(5) Urblereagh 16/1, Ran to form on handicap debut, doing much the best of those forcing the pace when fourth beaten 16l in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time. Off a short break, should be effective at 2m and could improve now chasing. Very lightly raced 9yo who needs to raise his game on this switch to fences.
4	4 (4) (20/1 -100%) Applicationofcash	20 20/1(-100%)	(4) Applicationofcash 20/1, Ran to form when comfortably held in a handicap chase at Plumpton last time. Effective at 2m4f, but improvement is required to feature more prominently in this contest. Two fair efforts over fences this winter and has claims if he can find some improvement.

15:15 Leicester (Class 5) 15f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

CLASSICAL STING was a game winner at Kelso on his chasing debut and was also going well until a bad mistake soon after halfway at Catterick most recently. The five-year-old rallied to claim second in that race and sure to be wiser for that experience, he is well worth another chance. Kitsilano has more experience over fences and could be a big danger on his first start back after wind surgery. Leech and Night Jet both try new headgear and also warrant betting checks.

Preference is for CLASSICAL STING (nap), who won on chase debut at Kelso in November and was a creditable second at Catterick last time.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 (1) (6/4 +8%) Rosscahill	1.5 6/4(+8%)	(1) Rosscahill 6/4, Let down by jumping when pulled up in a handicap chase at Ffos Las latest; returning from a break; effective 2m4f-3m, suited by plenty of cut; well fancied for chase debut so could leave that form behind. Pulled up on chase debut in October but this lightly raced 7yo retains potential.
3	3 (3) (2/1 +11%) No Tackle	2 2/1(+11%)	(3) No Tackle 2/1, Ran to form at a favoured venue when second, beaten 10l, off 113 last time and runs from the same mark. Effective at 2m6f-3m2f, suited by plenty of cut and has a good Leicester record, though he can be erratic. Likes it here and he arrives in good form; solid candidate.
5	5 (5) (3/1 -33%) One Last Glance	3 3/1(-33%)	(5) One Last Glance 3/1, Mistakes, below form when fourth beaten 21l in a handicap chase at Lingfield latest; effective 2m-3m, acts on any; consistent over fences until latest, could bounce back. Failed to fire at Lingfield latest but close second at Wetherby previously; not ruled out.
2	2 (2) (13/2 +46%) Mombasa	6.5 13/2(+46%)	(2) Mombasa 13/2, Well below form when fourth beaten 81l in a handicap chase at Wincanton latest; effective 2m-2m4f, acts on S and G; improvement needed. Tailed off on last month's stable debut at Wincanton when back from another absence.
4	4 (4) (125/1 -89%) Stormin Crossgales	125 125/1(-89%)	(4) Stormin Crossgales 125/1, Pulled up in a handicap chase at Haydock last time. Cheekpieces are tried for the first time and he enjoys making it. Effective at 2m-2m4f, but he has been inconsistent, with the form of his spring win weak and struggles since. Four chase wins last season but he's struggled this term; cheekpieces go on.

15:50 Leicester (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

ROSSCAHILL is a dual hurdle winner and is surely capable of better than he managed on his chasing debut at Ffos Las when he was last seen. Having won his sole start in a point-to-point, better can be expected now he has been given more time. The consistent No Tackle has shaped up nicely of late and is the biggest danger to the selection. Mombasa is unexposed over fences and is noteworthy on just his second start for Ventetia Williams.

The in-form NO TACKLE has a good record here and is the selection ahead of the very lightly raced 7yo Rosscahill.

6	6 (6) (5/6 +63%) Paul Marvel	0.833333 5/6(+63%)	(6) Paul Marvel 5/6, Improved for a step up in trip when second, beaten 6l, in a hunter chase at Warwick last time. Effective over 2m-3m with some cut in the ground, and rates a good chance judged on that latest effort. Runner-up at Warwick three weeks ago and that performance reads well in today's context.
4	4 (4) (5/2 +50%) Just Lucky Sivola	2.5 5/2(+50%)	(4) Just Lucky Sivola 5/2, Ran to form when 22l third in a handicap hurdle at Sandown most recent run; returning from long layoff; effective 2m4f-3m, acts on Hy and G; could have a say on debut over fences for new yard. Something to find on stable/chase debut but it's possible he'll improve for fences.
3	3 (3) (5/1 +17%) Ideal Du Tabert	5 5/1(+17%)	(3) Ideal Du Tabert 5/1, Again below his best under rules when fourth, beaten 30l, in the Restricted Point at Sheriff Hutton latest. Effective over 2m-3m and handles some cut, but the ex-Irish runner needs more on this return to rules. In the picture on his best form but has failed to shine on his two point runs this winter.
2	2 (2) (16/1 +84%) Best Mate Dave	16 16/1(+84%)	(2) Best Mate Dave 16/1, Likely needed the run when comfortably held in a point for novice riders at Chaddesley Corbett last time. Effective over 2m4f-3m on a sound surface, but has plenty to prove now returning to action under rules. Sole win came over hurdles in June 2023 off a basement mark; he's up against it today.
5	5 (5) (18/1 -13%) Largy Shark	18 18/1(-13%)	(5) Largy Shark 18/1, Still just in front when falling at the last in a point at Alnwick on his latest run. Effective over 2m-2m6f and handles soft or good ground, and could have a say back under rules if none the worse for that fall. Bang there when falling at final fence in a point in December; not ruled out.

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

PAUL MARVEL's second-placed finish to a 130-rataed opponent in a similar race at Warwick is a convincing piece of form and he edges a narrow vote over St Cuthbert's Cave. The latter has some respectable efforts to his name and had a valid excuse having reportedly bled at Ludlow most recently. The low-mileage Just Lucky Sivola and Ideal Du Tabert are others with solid chances.

Preference is for PAUL MARVEL, who ran well when second at Warwick recently.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
