(3) Maxident 12/1, 20,000 gns foal. Nathaniel half-brother to numerous winners, including smart 1¼m-1½m winner Matchwinner and useful winner up to 1¼m Moon A Lisa. Makes paper appeal and it'll be interesting to see how he goes in the betting.

(1) Another Run 1.25/1, Progressive form, finishing 2 lengths second in 11f Kempton novice last month. Bold show looks assured.
LTO Selection:

13:30 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Carlton has a likable pedigree but he would need to post a vastly improved effort from his debut run if he's going to fulfill his entry in next month's Dante at York. Therefore, this might be best left to ANOTHER RUN, who sets a reasonable standard and he is taken to make a successful transition to racing on turf. Maxident is bred to be effective at the trip but is best watched today.

CARLTON should be all the wiser with his recent Doncaster debut behind him and gets the nod, with confidence in his chance increased should the betting vibes be strong given that his yard was responsible for the horse that beat Another Run at Kempton last month.

This can go the way of CARLTON who seemed to cope with heavy ground okay when a never-dangerous fourth at Doncaster.

LTO Selection:

14:00 Leicester Stakes (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

MAXIMUM IMPACT, who cost 70,000gns as a yearling, is an appealing prospect and has been found a good opportunity to get off the mark at the first time of asking. Dark Points and Mullins Beach have similar profiles and can give the selection the most to think about, while Regal Fighter was not disgraced in the Brocklesby and could put that experience to good use.

Four of the quintet are newcomer, and before market clues DARK POINTS is just preferred to Maximum Impact. Regal Fighter was getting the hang of things late on in the Brocklesby and could take a step forward.

Regal Fighter has the benefit of experience but Charlie Johnston's well-bred newcomer DARK POINTS is given the vote.

LTO Selection:

14:35 Leicester Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

TIMELESS MELODY showed ability in both starts last season and appeals despite just failing to justify favouritism in a decent maiden at Kempton when last seen. She has since switched to the very capable hands of William Haggas and this daughter of Teofilo can flourish under his tutelage. Frequent Flyer has his sights lowered after being pitched in the Goffs Million at the Curragh last time and is high on the shortlist, while Get Off Me is a notable debutant to consider.

TIMELESS MELODY drops back markedly in trip but her pedigree suggests it shouldn't be a major problem so she's taken to confirm her 3-y-o promise on first start for William Haggas. Mexicali Rose and Frequent Flyer head up the opposition.

Ralph Beckett's MEXICALI ROSE is out of a Pivotal mare so she should be fine on this ground. Her debut was encouraging.

(6) Dashing Dick 2.5/1, Consistent sort who posted another creditable effort when fourth of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW) 70 days ago. Won this last year off same mark and likely to be in the mix again.
LTO Selection:

15:10 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

The softer ground will test some of these over the seven furlongs and it may be best to side with GORAK, who has won on soft ground over this trip and over a mile in 2021. He does carry a penalty again after winning earlier in the month and, although beaten since, that was a better race. Tylos tries this ground for the first time and could be a big danger if he handles it, while Dashing Dick is hard to win with and may have to settle for a place once again.

GORAK had excuses at Redcar on Monday so is worth another chance to defy a penalty given how much he had in hand at Doncaster earlier this month. The reliable Dashing Dick won this race last year off the same mark so is the obvious threat.

4yo GORAK might well have been stymied by the draw at Redcar on Monday and remains attractively weighted. He gets the nod.

LTO Selection:

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

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

Doctor Mozart is looking for his hat-trick after two wins on the all-weather, though he is yet to score on turf or encounter ground this soft. He can still go well but it's a rarity to see a William Haggas horse in a claimer and IN THE GIVING may have too much class for these. Second on both starts this season in better company, she won at Sligo on soft ground last year and her chances appear second to none. Evolicatt looks the likeliest to follow them home.

IN THE GIVING arrives on the back of a solid showing at Southwell 8 days ago and should take all the beating in this easier race. Doctor Mozart comes here on a hat-trick and is the clear danger, while his stablemate, Evolicatt, can't be fully ruled out.

The one to beat is IN THE GIVING, who won on soft ground in Ireland last year and started off for William Haggas with two good runs.

LTO Selection:

16:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

With Roger Varian's yard in decent form it could be folly to ignore Sonnerie Power, a winner at Lingfield last September and only beaten two lengths on his sole subsequent start. A late maturing sort he may make up into a better four-year-old, though whether he can give 7lb to KENSINGTON is another question. A lightly-raced daughter of Frankel, if she handles this ground she may well follow up her October Wolverhampton success. Brasca could surprise and should not be stopping over this trip.

SONNERIE POWER appeals as the type to do better this term and can make a winning return. Kensington also remains open to improvement and is feared most, whilst Juan Bermudez can also make his presence felt.

It might be worth chancing IN THE BREEZE, who is yet to win for Mick Appleby but is sure to be suited by today's conditions.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HIROMICHI won with far more in hand than the winning margin suggested at Lingfield last month and a 3lb rise could prove lenient as he looks to notch up a fifth career success. Endued has shown promise on each of his fours starts on the all-weather and a mark of 72 could be interesting as he makes his debut on the Turf. The returning Emperor Caradoc is another to note having run with plenty of credit throughout last season.

A 3-time winner last year, HIROMICHI took a marked step forward from his reappearance run and ultimately scored a shade cosily at Lingfield 18 days ago and, with forecast conditions posing no fears returned to turf, he could well be up to adding to his tally here. Cubanista, on return/back at 1m, and Emperor Caradoc may emerge as the chief threats.

The safest option is HIROMICHI (nap), who was placed on heavy turf last year and posted a career-best effort on the AW last month.

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.
