1	7 1st (7) (8/1 -33%) It Just Takes Time		8 8/1(-33%)																															(7) It Just Takes Time 8/1, Course winner. Didn't need to improve to win 9-runner handicap at Beverley (7.4f, good to soft, 11/4) 21 days ago, making all. This 3 lb higher mark should be manageable and he's one for the shortlist. Belated return to 7f (extended) when grinding it out at Beverley three weeks ago.
2	6 2nd (6) (8/1 +33%) Encourageable		8 8/1(+33%)																															(6) Encourageable 8/1, Bit below form fourth of 8 in handicap at Haydock (7.2f, heavy, 11/1) 18 days ago. Eased 1 lb since and entitled to come on for that belated reappearance spin, so he's dangerous to discount. Good run at Haydock after a long absence but this is quite a quick turnaround.
3	2 3rd (2) (11/1 -69%) Executive Decision		11 11/1(-69%)																															(2) Executive Decision 11/1, Respectable fourth of 13 in handicap at Salisbury (6f, good to soft, 7/1) 12 days ago, nearest finish. Well worth another try at this trip judged on that evidence and she's one to consider. Not a lot wrong with this season's efforts, although 6f has always appeared to be her trip.
4	3 4th (3) (9/2 +25%) Pearle D'or		4.5 9/2(+25%)																															(3) Pearle D'or 9/2, Bit below form fifth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (7f, good to firm, 5/1) when last seen in June, unable to sustain effort. Effective on deep ground and he'll be a threat if resuming in top form. Hasn't been running badly during a light season on ground too fast.
5th	9 5th (9) (14/1 -250%) Mahato		14 14/1(-250%)																															(9) Mahato 14/1, Thrice-raced winner. Second of 11 in novice at Kempton (6f, 10/11) 29 days ago, no match for winner. Needs to improve now pitched into a handicap but he's in good hands and could have a part to play if handling conditions (2-y-o debut success at Windsor was on good to soft). Getting back on turf could be beneficial and he's an unexposed handicap debutant.
6th	8 6th (8) (14/1 -17%) Zip		14 14/1(-17%)																															(8) Zip 14/1, Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Fifth of 8 in handicap (15/2) at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 18 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and he'll likely come up short once more. Acts on heavy ground but his last four runs have been well beneath his best.
7th	1 7th (1) (9/2 +10%) Spirit Genie		4.5 9/2(+10%)																															(1) Spirit Genie 9/2, C&D winner. 3 wins from 8 runs this year. Career best when winning 9-runner handicap (15/2) at Haydock (7.2f, heavy) 18 days ago, suited by emphasis on stamina. 2 lb nudge fair enough and he has to be taken seriously. Mudlover and the horse he beat at Hamilton ran a cracker at York last weekend.
8th	4 8th (4) (8/1 -14%) Burdett		8 8/1(-14%)																															(4) Burdett 8/1, Latest win at Haydock in August. Sixth of 9 in handicap (7/1) at Doncaster (7f, good to soft) 30 days ago. Conditions won't be a problem but he's probably in the handicapper's grip for now. It was a Class 2 in which he wasn't beaten far at Doncaster a month ago (7f, soft).
9th	10 9th (10) (17/2 -21%) Transitioning		8.5 17/2(-21%)																															(10) Transitioning 17/2, 2 wins from 5 runs this year. Latest win at Chester in July. 4/1, bit below form fourth of 9 in handicap at Chester (7.6f, soft) 31 days ago. Needs to raise his game. Record of 2-5; too fresh after a break when a fader last time at Chester.
10th	5 10th (5) (9/1 +64%) Yermanthere		9 9/1(+64%)																															(5) Yermanthere 9/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August. Last of 14 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 33/1) 24 days ago and he needs to bounce back. Other than his Carlisle success in August it's been a low-key season.

17:03 Leicester Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Spirit Genie recorded a narrow success at Haydock last month and he merits respect nudged up 2lb in the ratings, as does It Just Takes Time, who remains competitively handicapped having been on target at Beverley three weeks ago. However, a chance can be taken on EXECUTIVE DECISION. Badly outpaced early on before making good late headway over 6f at Salisbury recently, a step up in trip looks to be a positive move and it would come as no surprise were she to step forward.

With condition again in his favour, SPIRIT GENIE is taken to supplement his recent success at Haydock where he displayed a willing attitude. He landed the C&D seller on this card last year, which was his sole previous visit to Leicester. Pearle d'Or will be a threat if fully tuned-up following a break, while Executive Decision and It Just Takes Time also merit respect, along with lightly-raced handicap debutant Mahato.

His record fresh isn't encouraging but PEARLE D'OR hasn't been running badly this season on ground too fast and he's worth chancing.

1	8 1st (8) (7/2 +30%) Equion		3.5 7/2(+30%)																															(8) Equion 7/2, 8/1, confirmed himself still in good form when second of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Expected to be bang there again. Well treated and he has run well in two of his last three races; conditions are fine.
2	10 2nd (10) (16/5 +73%) Astronomica		3.2 16/5(+73%)																															(10) Astronomica 16/5, C&D winner who shaped with some encouragement after 10 weeks off when fifth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 31 days ago. Not dismissed. Has won twice on soft; could have needed the run on the AW latest, after three months away.
3	7 3rd (7) (20/1 -25%) Andromedas Kingdom		20 20/1(-25%)																															(7) Andromedas Kingdom 20/1, Underperformed when 7¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Alika Breeze in handicap (6/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Three-time winner this year but now needs to bounce back from quieter runs.
4	2 4th (2) (22/1 -450%) Swatch		22 22/1(-450%)																															(2) Swatch 22/1, Latest win at Bath in April. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 13/8). Off 127 days. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes and has good claims if returning from a break in similar form. Capable handicapper but makes stable debut after a lengthy break and that's offputting.
5th	6 5th (6) (12/1 -140%) Soi Dao		12 12/1(-140%)																															(6) Soi Dao 12/1, 11/1, good ¾-length second of 13 to Alika Breeze in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 14 days ago. In the mix with a repeat. Has won on soft; back to form when pushing Alika Breeze to within a length at Bath.
6th	3 6th (3) (16/1 -433%) Marsh Benham		16 16/1(-433%)																															(3) Marsh Benham 16/1, Ungenuine type who ran up to best to get off the mark for the year in 9-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Carries penalty 4-lb penalty and not an obvious type to follow up. Perhaps flattered to win so well at Brighton as the pace collapsed up ahead of him.
7th	4 7th (4) (5/1 +75%) Diffident Spirit		5 5/1(+75%)																															(4) Diffident Spirit 5/1, C&D winner who produced a laboured effort when fifth of 13 in handicap at Ascot (7f, good to soft, 33/1) 11 days ago, nearest finish. Jury still out as to what ability he retains. No concrete evidence this season (following an absence) that he's as good as he was.
8th	9 8th (9) (12/1 -140%) Alika Breeze		12 12/1(-140%)																															(9) Alika Breeze 12/1, 50/1, career best when winning 13-runner handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 14 days ago, by ¾ length from Soi Dao. Needs to prove that wasn't a flash in the pan. Hadn't offered much in handicaps until winning off a reduced mark from Soi Dao at Bath.
9th	1 9th (1) (8/1 +50%) Harswell Duke		8 8/1(+50%)																															(1) Harswell Duke 8/1, C&D winner who took a step back in the right direction on first run since leaving Roger Fell & Sean Murray when respectable fifth of 9 in handicap at Pontefract (8f, heavy, 18/1) 8 days ago. Suited by soft/heavy but winless since the 2023 Spring Mile; below par of late.
10th	5 10th (5) (17/2 +39%) Blue Collar		8.5 17/2(+39%)																															(5) Blue Collar 17/2, First run since leaving Richard Hannon when respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Salisbury (8f, good to firm, 10/1) 46 days ago, barely adequate test. Others preferred for win purposes kept to this trip. Chance on best form but still a maiden and ground this slow could be an issue.

17:35 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

ALIKA BREEZE sprang a surprise when winning at odds of 50-1 at Bath a fortnight ago. That was a giant leap forward on what she had shown previously, but Richard Hughes' filly has few miles on the clock and may defy a 4lb rise in the handicap if arriving in a similar vein of form. Soi Dao finished behind her in second that day but has a 2lb pull and that could bring the pair closer together. Recent Brighton scorer Marsh Benham can go well under a 5lb penalty.

EQUION confirmed himself still in good form when beaten only by a thriving rival at Bath a fortnight ago and is the percentage call to go one better. Swatch has good claims if picking up where he left off for Alice Haynes in midsummer, with Astronomica also of some interest following an encouraging recent run at Lingfield.

This has an open look to it. EQUION will be at home in the conditions and has given his running in two of his last three races.

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.
