1	11 1st (11) (9/1 +36%) La La Lucrative		9 9/1(+36%)																															(11) La La Lucrative 9/1, Runner-up in a pair of 6f handicaps in May but has largely struggled since, below form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (6f) 3 weeks ago. Return to this forecast slower surface may help with a hood refitted. 0-10; best run when 2nd at Catterick in May (6f, soft); not done as well since; fair mark.
2	4 2nd (4) (12/1 -9%) Showhound		12 12/1(-9%)																															(4) Showhound 12/1, Sixth of 8 in handicap (4/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 15 days ago, headway 2f out before weakening final 1f. Previous Chester third was a solid display but balance of his exploits this season have been underwhelming. Fair juvenile; third at Chester in headgear two runs back but not as good last time.
3	6 3rd (6) (5/1 -25%) Papabella		5 5/1(-25%)																															(6) Papabella 5/1, Found some progress in recent months, making it 2 wins from last 3 starts when landing 12-runner C&D handicap 4 weeks ago, relishing the switch to front-running tactics. Needs considering with a repeat up 6 lb. Has won two of last three races, latest over C&D on soft; up 6lb; has a chance.
4	7 4th (7) (40/1 -186%) Spirit Of Breeze		40 40/1(-186%)																															(7) Spirit Of Breeze 40/1, Built on more positive signs when signing off 2023 with success in a C&D handicap last July. Possibly still gaining full fitness in 2 starts following an absence, fifth of 7 in handicap at Sandown (5f) 25 days ago. Operating from last winning mark. C&D win on soft in July 2023; off 401 days after; below-par over 5f this term; chance.
5th	2 5th (2) (9/1 +18%) Impressor		9 9/1(+18%)																															(2) Impressor 9/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023 and, having finished runner-up on 2 previous starts, he proved disappointing when last of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 16 days ago, weakening final 1f. Claims if bouncing back. Suited by 6f on soft/heavy; below-par latest but in fair form before that; each-way chance.
6th	1 6th (1) (16/1 -33%) Believe You Me		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Believe You Me 16/1, Landed back-to-back handicaps at Chepstow (7f) in July. Keener than ideal and below form in 2 starts since, tenth of 12 in handicap back at that venue (1m) 6 weeks ago. Switch to sprinting could help in that regard now. Two 7f wins in July; went up 10lb for 2nd success; not done as well since; first run at 6f.
7th	5 7th (5) (14/1 +0%) Belsito		14 14/1(+0%)																															(5) Belsito 14/1, Latest win at Carlisle in June. Respectable fifth of 9 in handicap (9/1) at Hamilton (6f, good) 16 days ago, slowly away having had his blindfold removed late. Cheekpieces back on. Needs to keep the slow starting at bay. Carlisle winner in June; not fared quite as well since (excuses last time); could go well.
8th	10 8th (10) (25/1 -150%) Dancing Sapphire		25 25/1(-150%)																															(10) Dancing Sapphire 25/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 9/2, third of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f) 22 days ago. More needed making handicap debut. Some promise in a turf maiden and two AW novices; handicap debut; first run on soft.
9th	14 9th (14) (15/2 +46%) Shark Two One		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(14) Shark Two One 15/2, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2023. Respectable third of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good, 12/1) 22 days ago, beaten only by a pair ridden from off the pace. Fancied to go well again back at scene of his last success. Two wins over 7f in 2023; fair placed efforts this term; acts on soft; others appeal more.
10th	3 10th (3) (11/1 -83%) Silent Flame		11 11/1(-83%)																															(3) Silent Flame 11/1, Resurgent with blinkers enlisted, adding to her tally at Goodwood (6f) in August. Clearly not 100% when last of 16 in handicap at Bath (5.7f, good to firm, 9/1) 23 days ago and she appeals as the type to bounce back. Two wins over 6f on good to soft this term; lost action when tailed off latest; a possible.
11th	13 11th (13) (28/1 -40%) Bomb Squad		28 28/1(-40%)																															(13) Bomb Squad 28/1, Gained reward for his consistency when scoring at Southwell (6f) last summer. Largely creditable efforts in defeat on AW thereafter but he's been off 9 months ahead of this. Possible he'll strip fitter for the run. Winner over 6f on soft, but last three wins on AW; off since December; may need the run.
12th	12 12th (12) (11/4 +45%) Sounds Of Spring		2.75 11/4(+45%)																															(12) Sounds Of Spring 11/4, Much improved when winning 9-runner handicap at Ffos Las (6f, heavy) in August. Creditable second of 16 in handicap followed at Carlisle (5.8f, good to soft) 27 days ago and he remains well treated on old form. In good form on soft, having won at Ffos Las and finished 2nd at Carlisle; interesting.
13th	9 13th (9) (16/1 -45%) Willingly		16 16/1(-45%)																															(9) Willingly 16/1, C&D winner. Shaped as if better for the run after 3 months off when seventh of 8 in handicap (12/1) at Newcastle (5f) 26 days ago. Visor on 1st time. Now below her last winning mark and she's one to consider. Exposed sprinter; dual C&D winner; soft ground suits; quite interesting in new headgear.

15:23 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 6f  Race Class Flow

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

SOUNDS OF SPRING only found one too good when trying to follow up his Ffos Las win two starts ago at Carlisle last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts would give him a big chance here. The unexposed Dancing Sapphire has to be of some interest on her handicap debut, while similar comments apply to Idle Assembly. Others to note are Papabella and Silent Flame.

Having landed a gamble on his penultimate start, SOUNDS OF SPRING ran another solid race when runner-up at Carlisle (5.8f) 4 weeks ago. Remaining with handicapping scope on old form, he looks a live player again. Silent Flame has been resurgent since blinkers went on and she's a threat if leaving her latest run behind. Recent C&D winner Papabella and Shark Two One are others to consider in a wide-open affair.

It could be worth taking a chance on C&D winner SPIRIT OF BREEZE returning to form now back at 6f. Papabella is next best.

1	2 1st (2) (6/1 +20%) Sergeant Pep		6 6/1(+20%)																															(2) Sergeant Pep 6/1, Latest win at Haydock in July. 25/1, last of 22 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 17 days ago. Others preferred. Lost lots of ground at the start in Ayr Silver Cup, but he's at home on soft going.
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 +17%) Makanah		3.333333 10/3(+17%)																															(1) Makanah 10/3, Below par at Doncaster latest but had been in good form previously and is effective over the minimum trip. Merits consideration. Won on quick ground at Redcar in August but soundly beaten on soft at Doncaster last month.
3	7 3rd (7) (16/1 -78%) So Smart		16 16/1(-78%)																															(7) So Smart 16/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Chepstow in August. Respectable fourth of 8 in handicap at Bath (5f, good, 12/1) 24 days ago. Not out of things. C&D winner who scored at Chepstow in August and has continued in good form.
4	4 4th (4) (6/1 -71%) Hedge Fund		6 6/1(-71%)																															(4) Hedge Fund 6/1, Returned to form when second of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f) 11 days ago and can race off same mark here. Likely contender. Back on song when second on AW recently and a player if backing up that latest effort.
5th	8 5th (8) (10/1 -11%) Stone Circle		10 10/1(-11%)																															(8) Stone Circle 10/1, Disappointed at Yarmouth latest but had posted good second over C&D previously and must enter calculations. Inconsistent and finished last most recently, but went close over C&D earlier last month.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/2 +54%) Cypriot Diaspora		5.5 11/2(+54%)																															(6) Cypriot Diaspora 11/2, Course winner. Latest win at Goodwood in June. 40/1, ninth of 12 in handicap at Yarmouth (6f, firm) 20 days ago. Others look better treated. Runs off last winning mark and could play leading role now back on slow ground.
7th	3 7th (3) (12/1 -140%) Isle Of Lismore		12 12/1(-140%)																															(3) Isle Of Lismore 12/1, Latest win at Ascot in May. 25/1, seventh of 8 in handicap at Ascot (5f, good to soft) 31 days ago. Looks competitive on form. Of interest on his May performances but his form has gone the wrong way subsequently.
8th	5 8th (5) (7/2 +0%) The Ridler		3.5 7/2(+0%)																															(5) The Ridler 7/2, Hasn't won for a while but performed creditably of late, backing up good third at this course with fifth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f) last time. Shortlisted. Running well in defeat; back down in trip today but he may still be a contender.

15:53 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

HEDGE FUND bounced back to form when second off this mark over 5f at Wolverhampton 11 days ago and that form gives him a big chance here. The Ridler and Makanah are both more than capable of going well in a race of this nature but neither are the most prolific of winners these day. Stone Circle disappointed last time but is a player based on his C&D second the time before.

In an open-looking event, preference is for THE RIDLER, who has been given a chance by the handicapper and arrives in good form. Hedge Fund and Makanah can also make their presence felt.

Today's expected return to slow ground is a likely plus for course winner CYPRIOT DIASPORA (nap), who runs off her last winning mark.

1	8 1st (8) (5/1 +17%) Galyx		5 5/1(+17%)																															(8) Galyx 5/1, Lightly-raced winner. Winner at Windsor in May. 5/2, creditable fourth of 10 in handicap at Newbury (10f, good to soft) 18 days ago. Warrants respect. Acts on soft; 113 days off before latest start and may be able to build on that display.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/4 +44%) Stressfree		2.25 9/4(+44%)																															(2) Stressfree 9/4, Overcome pace bias when taking 9-runner handicap at Chester (10.3f, soft) 24 days ago. 4 lb rise fair and holds strong follow-up claims. His three wins have come on soft or heavy ground, including at Chester on latest start.
3	1 3rd (1) (2/1 +50%) Lord Melbourne		2 2/1(+50%)																															(1) Lord Melbourne 2/1, Has taken form to a new level for Ralph Beckett, winning cosily at York in June and getting back on scoreboard in Epsom handicap (12f, good) 43 days ago. Remains fairly treated and ought to go well again. Having a good season, including 2-4 for this yard, and is firmly in the picture.
4	4 4th (4) (9/2 +18%) Kotari		4.5 9/2(+18%)																															(4) Kotari 9/2, 3 wins from 5 runs this year and back from 4 months off when respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (13.3f, soft) 17 days ago. Respected. Hat-trick this spring; respectable both runs since, with nearly four months off in between.
5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 -227%) Aviemore		18 18/1(-227%)																															(3) Aviemore 18/1, Latest win at Chester in September. Ninth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (10f, good to firm, 13/2) 19 days ago. Something to find on form. Good record on soft/heavy, including when dominant from the front at Chester two runs back.
6th	6 6th (6) (11/1 -22%) Dambuster		11 11/1(-22%)																															(6) Dambuster 11/1, Latest win at Beverley in April. Unseated rider in handicap (12/1) at Pontefract (10f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Others more persuasive, Won two of his first three starts but handicap exploits have been a little underwhelming.
7th	5 7th (5) (200/1 -1011%) Ma Belle Artiste		200 200/1(-1011%)																															(5) Ma Belle Artiste 200/1, Fifth of 6 in handicap hurdle (13/8) at Uttoxeter (15.8f, heavy) 167 days ago. Off 167 days. Useful on the Flat, good on last Flat outing. Makes limited appeal. Has not set the world alight hurdling for new yard and there's plenty to prove.

16:25 Leicester Handicap (Class 3) 10f Race Class Flow

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

STRESSFREE ran out a cosy winner of a Chester handicap over 1m2f last month and, judging by the style of that victory, a 4lb rise may underestimate him. The unexposed Galyx wasn't disgraced when finishing fourth on his handicap debut over this trip at Newbury last time and he warrants respect. The Epsom winner Lord Melbourne completes the shortlist, although this step back in trip leaves him with a question to answer.

STRESSFREE scored with plenty up his sleeve at Chester last month and hasn't been harshly treated by the handicapper for that success. He makes plenty of appeal. Lord Melbourne and Kotari are feared most.

This looks highly competitive, with most of them having proved themselves in the mud. AVIEMORE is tipped ahead of Galyx.

1	13 1st (13) (10/3 +5%) Temper Trap		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(13) Temper Trap 10/3, Course winner who matched his season's best when second of 11 in handicap at Musselburgh (8f, good) 6 days ago. Races off same mark here and is one for shortlist. No joy since three wins over 1m/1m1f on soft last summer; second on his last three outings.
2	6 2nd (6) (6/1 +50%) Ey Up Its Jazz		6 6/1(+50%)																															(6) Ey Up Its Jazz 6/1, Course winner. Eighth of 9 in handicap (9/2) at Beverley (7.4f, good). Off 155 days. Work to do. Two wins last spring (soft/heavy) and second three times in the mud since; off since May.

4	10 4th (10) (33/1 -32%) Royal Justice		33 33/1(-32%)																															(10) Royal Justice 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, twelfth of 13 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 43 days ago. Others have achieved more. Soundly beaten at 22-1 and 33-1 in her two handicaps; testing ground is straw to clutch at.
5th	12 5th (12) (8/1 +27%) Takes Time		8 8/1(+27%)																															(12) Takes Time 8/1, Last of 12 in handicap at Chelmsford City (8f, 16/1) 19 days ago. Needs to bounce back. Tailed off on AW latest but 2nd of eight at Chester the time before was over 7f on heavy.
6th	1 6th (1) (9/2 +0%) Ratafia		4.5 9/2(+0%)																															(1) Ratafia 9/2, Resumed winning ways at Yarmouth (8f) in August and wasn't seen to best effect in follow-up bid at Redcar 13 days ago. Expected to be bang there. Won on heavy last October; three more wins since, including on penultimate outing; player.
7th	9 7th (9) (33/1 -106%) Mucha Muchacha		33 33/1(-106%)																															(9) Mucha Muchacha 33/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Last of 6 in handicap at Chepstow (8.1f, good to firm, 12/1) 82 days ago. Improvement required. Something seemed amiss on seasonal/handicap debut (1m, good) in July; no solid claims.
8th	8 8th (8) (15/2 -7%) King Of Speed		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(8) King Of Speed 15/2, Course winner who returned to form when creditable third of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 15 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Merits consideration. Pretty consistent this year, with two lesser efforts on soft but he won on it last term.
9th	14 9th (14) (14/1 +0%) Asmund		14 14/1(+0%)																															(14) Asmund 14/1, Course winner. Latest win here in July. Creditable eighth of 15 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good, 18/1) 13 days ago, hampered. Warrants respect. Won a classified at this track in July but handicaps have proved a lot harder since.

11th	16 11th (16) (66/1 -100%) Quick Away		66 66/1(-100%)																															(16) Quick Away 66/1, Tenth of 11 in handicap (22/1) at Bath (10.2f, good to firm) 23 days ago. Significantly back down in trip. Hard to make a strong case for. Neck 2nd at Southwell (1m, AW) in March but has not shown a great deal since.

Off 168 days. Hood back on. Yet to score after 9 attempts. Two bits of modest form over 7f in his six AW handicaps but it's hard to be persuaded.
13th	3 13th (3) (15/2 +25%) Never Dream		7.5 15/2(+25%)																															(3) Never Dream 15/2, Winner at Goodwood in June. Fifth of 8 in handicap at Sandown (7f, good, 9/1) 74 days ago.

17:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 7f  Race Class Flow

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

TEMPER TRAP lost little in defeat when a close-up second over a mile at Musselburgh six days ago, and he gets the vote to atone for that near-miss off the same mark. Ratafia endured a luckless passage when finishing down the field over 7f at Redcar last month, and it would be no surprise if he were to bounce back to form. Ballsbridge completes the shortlist.

RATAFIA has already scored twice this term and finished with running left when not getting the breaks at Redcar last time. He can add another victory to his tally. Temper Trap and King of Speed should also go well.

A chance is taken that RATAFIA can dodge the sort of traffic problems he met at Redcar. Ballsbridge and Temper Trap are next.

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.
