0.91
0.91/1(+39%)
(6) Radetzky March 0.91/1, Showed some promise in a couple of spring bumpers but well held over hurdles. However, made a mockery of opening mark quickly switched to fences at Fakenham last week and can defy a penalty.
5
2nd (5) (3.5/1 +36%) Out The Glen
3.5
3.5/1(+36%)
(5) Out The Glen 3.5/1, Encouraging fourth for new yard in handicap hurdle at Huntingdon on return and duly built on that when winning at Leicester. Not so good at Fontwell since but worth another chance.
3
3rd (3) (10/1 -100%) Marettimo
10
10/1(-100%)
(3) Marettimo 10/1, Seventeen-race maiden over hurdles but off the mark at the first attempt over fences at Taunton last week under this rider. Respected under a penalty.

25
25/1(+50%)

5.5
5.5/1(-22%)
(1) No Hubs No Hoobs 5.5/1, Failed to improve for the switch to handicaps when sixth at Exeter and even worse when eighth there next time. Makes chase debut. Tongue strap on for 1st time.
2
6th (2) (14/1 -65%) Fazayte
14
14/1(-65%)
(2) Fazayte 14/1, Well held on sole start last season but shaped as if retaining all of ability on second start back. Bred to make a chaser but let down by jumping on chase bow. Headgear on and can do better.
LTO Selection:
13:35 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(6) Boughtbeforelunch 7.5/1, Scored at Ludlow in May but off 4 months and not in top form of late, weakening out of it at Doncaster 19 days ago.
3
2nd (3) (3/1 +25%) Captain Tommy
3
3/1(+25%)
(3) Captain Tommy 3/1, Gained breakthrough success over fences on debut for this yard at Uttoxeter. Back below that winning mark and excuses for last 2 runs, so he's dangerous to rule out down in trip.
4
3rd (4) (4/1 +11%) Young Offender
4
4/1(+11%)
(4) Young Offender 4/1, Hurdles winner who impressed when making a successful switch to chasing at Chepstow (26f) in October, forging clear. Extended 30f may have stretched him at Exeter but needed to see more at Uttoxeter.
1
4th (1) (3.33/1 -21%) Eclair Mag
3.33
3.33/1(-21%)
(1) Eclair Mag 3.33/1, :Ex-French recruit who sprung a surprise on British debut in 3m handicap chase at Market Rasen in January 2021. Record has been mixed since, unable to sustain effort at Lingfield last month.
5
5th (5) (4.5/1 -35%) Smuggler's Blues
4.5
4.5/1(-35%)
(5) Smuggler's Blues 4.5/1, Race was rather handed to him when snapping a lengthy losing sequence in first-time cheekpieces at Warwick a month ago. Profile isn't that appealing but this isn't a strong race.
7
6th (7) (10/1 -54%) Prairie Town
10
10/1(-54%)
(7) Prairie Town 10/1, Successful at Plumpton in May and cast aside several tame efforts when a shock 40/1 scorer over C&D 3 weeks ago. 6 lb rise fair enough but no banker to be in the same mood.
2
|PU| (2) (18/1 -50%) Redzor
18
18/1(-50%)
(2) Redzor 18/1, Pulled up in National Hunt Chase at the 2020 Cheltenham Festival. Off 22 months after and failed to complete in the mud at Sandown in January. In top hands but clearly has a lot to prove.
LTO Selection:
14:10 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.
(2) Earth Spirit 150/1, Yet to show much spark, both between the flags and under Rules, and looks set for another struggle on the back of a wind op'.
3
1st (3) (20/1 -43%) Nelson River
20
20/1(-43%)
(3) Nelson River 20/1, Fit from the Flat but isn't a chaser on looks and wasn't in top form over hurdles during the spring.
4
2nd (4) (1/1 +47%) Nickolson
1
1/1(+47%)
(4) Nickolson 1/1, Fairly useful 2m winner over hurdles and already better over fences, runner-up in a novice and handicap to end 2021. That form puts him on the mix.
5
3rd (5) (2/1 -33%) Stepney Causeway
2
2/1(-33%)
(5) Stepney Causeway 2/1, Useful on the Flat and quickly reached a similar level over hurdles last term, winning 4 times. Second to Edwardstone on chase debut and excuses for subsequent Doncaster run.
1
|PU| (1) (4/1 -45%) Fransham
4
4/1(-45%)
(1) Fransham 4/1, Useful hurdler who quickly matched that level over fences when readily scoring at Wetherby in November. Held form pretty well until a tame finishing effort at Doncaster but now back in a novice.
LTO Selection:
14:45 Leicester Maiden Chase (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(1) Cut The Mustard 3/1, Useful chaser at her best but below-par third in 20f Lingfield handicap in second-time cheekpieces 27 days ago. Needs to bounce back in first-time tongue strap.
5
2nd (5) (11/1 +39%) Reine Fee
11
11/1(+39%)
(5) Reine Fee 11/1, Fair winning chaser for Shane Crawley but she offered little on her stable debut when pulled up in handicap chase at Wetherby (19.4f 21 days ago. Has something to prove.
3
3rd (3) (3/1 -9%) Grand Turina
3
3/1(-9%)
(3) Grand Turina 3/1, Landed back-to-back veterans' handicaps at Lingfield and Warwick in December. Posted another good effort when third at Carlisle (20.9f) 10 days ago, so she's a player off the same mark.
4
4th (4) (2.5/1 +29%) Une De La Seniere
2.5
2.5/1(+29%)
(4) Une De La Seniere 2.5/1, Three-time winner over hurdles but she failed to build on her chasing debut fourth at Southwell when modest third in 20f Ludlow handicap. More is required now.
2
5th (2) (3.33/1 -21%) Arian
3.33
3.33/1(-21%)
(2) Arian 3.33/1, Improved model for this yard, notching third success over fences at Newton Abbot in October. Rare poor effort when pulled up at Exeter in December, but sort to bounce back after a break here.
LTO Selection:
15:20 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 3) 20f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.
(2) Here We Have It 3.2/1, Lightly raced and improved on chasing debut effort in a change of headgear when runner-up at Catterick 13 days ago. Cheekpieces back on and could have a say in what looks a weak race.
1
2nd (1) (3.2/1 +20%) Fulgurix
3.2
3.2/1(+20%)
(1) Fulgurix 3.2/1, Runner-up on hurdling debut in France in 2019, but has been disappointing so far in Britain, offering little on both outings over fences so far. Evidently fragile but continues to fall in the weights.
5
3rd (5) (8/1 +20%) Legendary Rhythm
8
8/1(+20%)
(5) Legendary Rhythm 8/1, Improved form when landing mares' handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter (15.7f) in March. Not disgraced either start this autumn in that sphere but never involved sent chasing last month. Had wind op since.
6
4th (6) (20/1 -67%) Roxyfet
20
20/1(-67%)
(6) Roxyfet 20/1, Prolific at Sedgefield but retains little ability nowadays, struggling when hampered and unseated last back there on Boxing Day. Continues to tumble in the weights as a result.
4
5th (4) (2.75/1 +8%) Zamani
2.75
2.75/1(+8%)
(4) Zamani 2.75/1, Has reached frame over hurdles on last 2 starts and ran his best race over fences when runner-up at Plumpton 17 days ago. That form puts him in the mix and he has more solid credentials than most.
8
6th (8) (50/1 -52%) Torrent Des Mottes
50
50/1(-52%)
(8) Torrent Des Mottes 50/1, Back on the scoresheet when landing a 16.5f handicap at Huntingdon last March but little encouragement to glean from recent efforts, pulled up on both starts in December.
3
7th (3) (7.5/1 -25%) Falcon Sun
7.5
7.5/1(-25%)
(3) Falcon Sun 7.5/1, Ungenuine type but he was able to take advantage of his reduced mark in handicap hurdle here in December. No impact in a deeper race at Plumpton since and now back over the larger obstacles.
7
8th (7) (10/1 -82%) Royal Act
10
10/1(-82%)
(7) Royal Act 10/1, Ended a long losing run from 6 lb out of handicap at Bangor 5 weeks ago, rallying to lead close home. Profile suggests a follow up is unlikely but this is a weak race so he could well feature.
LTO Selection:
15:55 Leicester Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow
The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.
(1) Back Bar 3.5/1, One-time fair hurdler (for Gordon Elliott) who is better known for his pointing exploits, and has been in good order lately, so one to note for a yard that does well in hunters.
5
2nd (5) (2/1 +20%) Hotel Du Nord
2
2/1(+20%)
(5) Hotel Du Nord 2/1, Fair hurdler/chaser for Jessica Harrington. Latest Rules effort (in hunter at Cheltenham 9 months ago) was a bit underwhelming but he's shown his well-being in points recently. Considered.
3
3rd (3) (1.5/1 +25%) Drakes Well
1.5
1.5/1(+25%)
(3) Drakes Well 1.5/1, Fair and consistent hurdler/chaser for David Bridgwater who should strip fitter for his recent reappearance in points. Definite player.
6
4th (6) (10/1 -25%) Path To Freedom
10
10/1(-25%)
(6) Path To Freedom 10/1, Modest chaser who wasn't disgraced in a handicap at Catterick last time, but he's likely to be outclassed by at least one of his rivals.
2
5th (2) (18/1 -50%) Bingo Star
18
18/1(-50%)
(2) Bingo Star 18/1, Unseated on his only outing under Rules almost a year ago and, while he's a 5-time winner in points, he might well need this first outing since last summer.
LTO Selection:

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

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.
