1st (3) Blewburton (4/1 +0%)
Blewburton

4/1(+0%)
(3) Blewburton 4/1, Foaled April 28. €35,000 yearling, resold 5,000 gns yearling, Saxon Warrior gelding. Dam unraced half-sister to useful 1¼m winner Southern Lights. Yard struck with a 2-y-o newcomer recently and it'll be interesting to see what the market has to say.
Yard's 2yos have begun season well; jockey bookings suggest this could be the first string.

Unthinkable

8/1(+50%)
(9) Unthinkable 8/1, Once-raced filly. 22/1, fourth of 6 in maiden at Wolverhampton (5.1f) on debut 17 days ago. May well come into her own over longer trips in due course.
Couldn't land a blow when fourth of six at Wolverhampton 17 days ago and needs to improve.

Sonic Si

7/2(-17%)
(5) Sonic Si 7/2, Promising sort. 3/1, second of 4 in minor event at Southwell (5f) on debut 16 days ago, slowly away. Likely to improve with that run under his belt and he should be in the mix.
Pleasing debut when 1l second of four at Southwell; looks the pick of the three with form.

Griselda

6/1(+14%)
(7) Griselda 6/1, Foaled February 20. 34,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Dam, 8.6f-1¼m winner, half-sister to smart 2-y-o 7f winner New Energy. Yard can ready a newcomer and the market should be revealing.
Quite a classy pedigree; yard struck with first juvenile runner of the season at Windsor.
5th
5th (2) Son Of Astar (18/1 +28%)
Son Of Astar

18/1(+28%)
(2) Son Of Astar 18/1, Foaled February 24. Tasleet colt. Dam, winner up to 5.7f (2-y-o 5f winner), half-sister to useful multiple 5f winner Jabbarockie. Not as appealing as some of these on paper.
Bred firmly for speed but stable has few 2yo winners.
6th

Lift Lady

3/1(+14%)
(6) Lift Lady 3/1, Foaled April 1. 38,000 gns yearling, Kodi Bear filly. Sister to 7f winner Lady Onyx. Dam 5f winner out of useful 7f winner Dangle. Stable had a winning 2-y-o newcomer at Yarmouth during the week and she's one to note in the betting.
Stable's only 2yo runner so far this year won at Yarmouth on Tuesday; interesting.

Poet's Peace

(8) Poet's Peace 6/1, Foaled February 6. £30,000 yearling, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to winner up to 7f Little Prayer and 6f-7f winner Two Desserts. Yard's newcomers usually come on for a run but she needs a second look in the betting all the same.
£30,000 yearling; another plausibly bred filly whose yard is 1-1 with 2yos in 2024.

13:30 Leicester Maiden (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Sonic Si offered encouragement when runner-up at Southwell and while the winner did nothing for the form next time, the fourth horse did come out and score subsequently. Unthinkable should step forward from her Wolverhampton fourth, but George Scott struck with his first juvenile of the year recently and GRISELDA, a Kodi Bear filly from the family of Irish 2,000 Guineas second New Energy, can follow suit. Poet's Peace and Lift Lady are a couple of other newcomers to consider.

Having shaped with encouragement on debut at Southwell, SONIC SI may well put his experience to good use and bag this maiden. That said, a market move for pretty much any of the newcomers would be worthy of note, with Blewburton, Lift Lady and Griselda the most appealing of them on paper.

Several interesting newcomers line up but SONIC SI showed enough first time out to suggest he has a chance of going one better.

14:05 Leicester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

AL MUBHIR hasn't managed to get his head in front since his facile victory in this contest 12 months ago but he has run some fine races in defeat, including making the frame twice in Listed company. He has been gelded since he was last seen and will relish conditions. Testing ground is no concern to Raadobarg either and he has fitness on his side, with an excellent third in the Irish Lincolnshire followed by a fair performance in Newbury's Spring Cup. Look Back Smiling and Thunder Roar fought out a finish at Doncaster and there should be little to separate them again.

AL MUBHIR was a clear-cut winner of this race 12 months ago and while he's 7 lb higher this time round, the 5-y-o looks the way to go with conditions in his favour. Next on the list is Raadobarg, who was a solid third in the Irish Lincoln on return last month and he probably shouldn't be judged too harshly on his subsequent Newbury defeat. Magic Memories was behind Look Back Smiling and Thunder Roar at Doncaster but he is entitled to come on for that run and is third choice.

Last year's winner Al Mubhir is much respected, but MAGIC MEMORIES shaped well in the Spring Mile last month and is preferred.

14:37 Leicester Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

SPACE LEGEND has changed hands for six-figure sums twice and made an introduction full of promise at Chelmsford when beating all bar a Godolphin representative now rated 105 after finishing third at last week's Craven meeting. William Haggas has put the son of Sea The Stars in the Dante so he really should be winning this. Solid Silver picked up black type in a Doncaster bumper, but far more will be required here and maybe 170,000-euro Le Havre colt Trouville will be more dangerous on debut.

It was probably a decent novice event in which SPACE LEGEND was runner-up on his debut at Chelmsford in December and, provided he handles the conditions now switched to turf, the son of Sea The Stars should go one better here. Newcomer Trouville ticks plenty of the right boxes on paper and is second choice ahead of Solid Silver, who showed ability in bumpers and appeals as the type to make her mark in this sphere.

The most obvious answer is SPACE LEGEND who chased home a very useful colt on his debut in December.

15:12 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Darlo Pride has been a model of consistency on the all-weather in recent months and must enter calculations on his turf return, but conceding 6lb to a red-hot BURABACK looks a big enough ask. Although yet to score on grass, there was a lot to like about his third-placed effort on heavy ground at Bath two starts ago and three all-weather wins surrounding that performance makes him the standout in this contest. Holbache is another interesting player making his stable debut for Julie Camacho.

WILLINGLY looked in the need of the run when returning from a five-month break at Bath and, likely to be a different proposition this time, she is taken to record her third success at this course. The consistent Darlo Pride is significantly higher in the weights than he was when second on his most recent turf start in September but his mark is commensurate with the improvement he has subsequently shown on the all-weather and he is feared most ahead of Holbache and Buraback.

This can go to SO SMART, who made an encouraging seasonal/stable debut on slow turf three weeks ago and remains attractively weighted.

15:45 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

A close second in this corresponding race 12 months ago, BROKEN SPEAR is a must for consideration, especially as he returned to win over this course and distance a fortnight after last year's renewal. Leap Abroad runs off an equally competitive mark and, far less exposed on turf, he too merits serious thought. As does the hat-trick seeking Many A Star, although he returns to the grass off 6lb higher than his recent Kempton success.

MANY A STAR failed to fire in Dubai for new trainer Jamie Osborne but it's been a different story since returning to Britain and he can complete a quick hat-trick. Former stablemate Leap Abroad arrives in form and is feared most ahead of Al Ameen.

C&D winner BROKEN SPEAR ran quite well over 7f last month and should now be at concert pitch for this third run of the season.

16:20 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

A winner over this trip at Brighton when last seen, Roman Tempest can figure if picking up from where he left off last October, while Lost In Time is on a competitive mark and cannot be ruled out. However, FOUGERE is still of low mileage and, sure to have benefitted from her return to action at Yarmouth a fortnight ago, this could be the time to catch Dean Ivory's four-year-old.

The way that MACHO SUN finished off his race over 1m at Nottingham last weekend suggests this return to a longer trip will suit and he might prove the answer to this open-looking handicap. Foursome won in the mud on the Flat last autumn and is fit from hurdling so she's a possible threat. Escarpment and City Escape are down to dangerous marks and also entering the reckoning.

Deam Ivory's FOUGERE ought to be very well suited by the conditions here and, from a workable mark, is taken to open her account.

(3) Ey Up Its Jazz 3/1, Won this race on heavy ground last year. Seemingly just in need of the outing when fourth of 14 in 7f Thirsk handicap on reappearance, throwing down a challenge before fading. Ought to be spot on now.
May not have much margin for error off current mark but won this race a year ago.

7/1(-110%)
(1) Mccauley's Tavern 7/1, Second 6f Kempton win of the year when seeing off 11 rivals 12 days ago. Handles testing ground. Did it quite cosily last time so a 4 lb rise shouldn't prevent another bold bid.
Dual 6f AW winner this year and today's switch back to slow turf won't be a problem.

16:55 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Hombre was a surprise winner at Thirsk last week and, off just 3lb higher, has to be shortlisted given that was his first race on turf. Joseph Parr's gelding needs to prove that wasn't a fluke, so it may be safer to side with previous C&D winner EY UP ITS JAZZ, who looked in need of the run at the same venue 11 days earlier. He has plenty in his favour with his match-fitness topped up, while Cubanista is also considered.

EY UP ITS JAZZ won this race second time up last season and is taken to repeat the feat after shaping quite well on his Thirsk reappearance. Hombre had to overcome some trouble to score at Thirsk last weekend and is second choice ahead of recent Kempton scorer McCauley's Tavern.

Joseph Parr's HOMBRE (nap) became disappointing on AW but he looked a different horse when beating 16 rivals on his recent turf debut.

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.
