14:00 Leicester (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

QUADRILLION was well supported ahead of her Newmarket debut and although beaten a length into third, she showed plenty of promise and can only learn from the experience. A daughter of Kingman out of Group 1 winner Quadrilateral, she is bred to be smart and could win at the second attempt. The Resdev Scholar wasn't beaten far when second at Chester and will try to put his experience to good use, while newcomer Anyasi is also noted.

The standard is set by QUADRILLION and she can improve on last month's Newmarket debut third. Swiped can chase her home.

14:30 Leicester (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

FIRST ENCOUNTER reacted positively to blinkers at Salisbury last month, storming five and a half lengths clear of his rivals. He has been put up 9lb for that, but if the headgear works a second time, he could follow up. Zafaan failed to see it out over further at Bath but is better suited by this trip and he might prove a big danger, while Fascinating Lips is another to bear in mind.

This may be best left to the three who won last time, with preference for NAUGHTY NIALL. The main danger is First Encounter.

15:00 Leicester (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Yoshimi won over C&D back in 2023 off 6lb higher and, although only sixth here over shorter last month, eight of his nine career wins have been over this trip. He could be the biggest danger to JOYCEAN WAY. Second on his last two starts at Yarmouth and Windsor, it's seemingly just a matter of time before he strikes. Shark Two One will appreciate the quicker ground and is another to take seriously.

This looks to be a decent opportunity for JOYCEAN WAY to get off the mark. Wilde And Dandy is the main danger.

15:30 Leicester (Class 5) 11f Race Class Flow

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

Having relished a step up in distance when scoring over 1m4f at Salisbury 15 days ago, there could be more to come from TWILIGHT MOON. The three-year-old won with enough in hand to suggest that a 4lb rise won't stop her. Liberated Lad arrives on the back of a respectable fourth at Doncaster and may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Lincoln Rockstar.

The progressive TWILIGHT MOON should follow up after getting off the mark last time. The main danger is Lincoln Rockstar.

16:00 Leicester (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

HALF SOVEREIGN continued her upward trajectory when completing a double at Yarmouth recently. An opening mark of 80 looks workable for the daughter of Ten Sovereigns and she may prove tough to topple. Stablemate Boiling Over lost little in defeat when second to a progressive rival on his nursery bow at Doncaster and should be in the mix. Bone Marra may fare best of the remainder.

Karl Burke has two solid chances but HALLA BIL ZAIN can continue Owen Burrows' good run now handicapping in headgear.

16:30 Leicester (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

The Ruth Carr stable can do little wrong at present and this appeals as an ideal opportunity for HOSTELRY to land a quick double, having narrowly got up to score at Carlisle on Monday. Jockey Kaiya Fraser has developed quite the connection with this eight-year-old and she is preferred to Lingfield winner Hilltop and Coeur Jaune, who has a 3lb rise to overcome for winning at Doncaster.

A warm race of its type can go to HILLTOP, who has looked an improved filly this season. Coeur Jaune may prove best of the rest.

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

This can go the way of AMERICAN STYLE, who drops in grade after running with plenty of credit in valuable handicaps at Newmarket and York the last twice. He should have too much for Lord Roxby, who went well for a long way over further here last time out before being headed close home. Morte Point and The Quiet Gent are expected to be thereabouts as well.

Having run with credit in some of the best 3yo 6f handicaps this year AMERICAN STYLE (nap) can outclass today's lesser opposition.

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.
