13:55 Leicester Maiden (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The one likely to do well based on the summary is 0.62/1 (1) DESERT MASTER, who is described as attractively bred, showed promise on debut despite inexperience, and is the one to beat according to the writer. 3/1 (4) SPANISH PHOENIX and 8/1 (3) OLD CHUMS are also mentioned as promising and likely to improve, but 0.62/1 (1) DESERT MASTER is given the highest praise. The other two horses, 16/1 (5) TOO MUCH TREVOR and 20/1 (2) JOHN STEED, are described as having potential but the writer suggests checking the betting to see if they are worth backing.

DESERT MASTER was extremely green on debut at Ripon last week and is likely to have learned a lot from the experience after staying on well to claim second. With that effort under his belt and Ryan Moore booked, he could prove very tough to beat. The main threat might come from Spanish Phoenix, who was only beaten three lengths into fourth on his introduction at Kempton. Newcomer John Steed is of interest, especially if attracting any market support.

DESERT MASTER showed lots of promise amidst greenness on his recent Ripon debut and can prove too strong for Andrew Balding's Spanish Phoenix, who is also likely to step up on an encouraging debut run.

On bare form Ripon runner-up DESERT MASTER has the best chance, followed by Kempton fourth Spanish Phoenix.

14:30 Leicester Maiden (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

0.67/1 (7) NAQEEB and 9/1 (6) MORDOR are both likely to do well based on their impressive pedigrees and potential as newcomers. 12/1 (2) FAZAYTE and 22/1 (3) MINI RIVO are also interesting newcomers to the Flat with promising recent form in other disciplines. 11/1 (5) LIMERICK BOUND may improve this year and be worth considering. The remaining horses have either showed little promise in their previous races or have unseated/jumped poorly in their debut race.

Prosecco brings the best known form to the table, when an eyecatching fourth at Yarmouth in October, and she is likely to be on the premises stepping up to 1m2f on her second start. However, the vote goes to NAQEEB, who is beautifully bred as a half-brother to both Baaeed and Hukum. If ready to go on debut, he could go very close for the William Haggas yard. Any market confidence behind Roaring Lion colt Mordor could prove significant.

NAQEEB is with a top yard and related to a pair of seriously talented performers, so he may well be up to making a successful debut at the likely expense of Prosecco, who is open to improvement. Mordor is also considered first time up.

Prosecco appeals most among those who have run but one of the newcomers is NAQEEB, a half-brother to star performer Baaeed.

15:05 Leicester Handicap (Class 2) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Based on the information provided, 6/1 (2) BOPEDRO seems to have the best chance of doing well in the upcoming race. He has recently won a 1m Newmarket handicap and showed a good attitude in fending off the runner-up. Additionally, he has a noteworthy Irish Cambridgeshire win in 2021. The other horses have either been off for a while, struggled for form in the past year, or face a tougher challenge in this higher grade.

A chance can be taken on AERION POWER, who contested warm handicaps in 2021 and makes his return to grass after a two-race campaign on the all-weather last autumn. Al Mubhir warrants respect following his fifth as favourite in the Lincoln and goes off the same mark. Bopedro has to be respected following his Newmarket win 11 days ago and he completes the shortlist.

Although never a serious threat AL MUBHIR's reappearance fifth in the Lincoln was a highly respectable effort and he can resume winning ways in these slightly calmer waters. Wobwobwob shaped well on his Redcar reappearance and is feared most ahead of Easter Classic winner Notre Belle Bete.

On the back of his respectable fifth in the Lincoln, AL MUBHIR (nap) is likely to resume his progress. Bopedro is feared most.

15:40 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, it looks like either 2.75/1 (5) COLD STARE or 2.75/1 (2) SOCIETY LION are the most likely to do well, as they both have recent form and are expected to be involved in the race. 3.5/1 (7) COCO BEAR also has a recent win, but may require a career-best performance to follow up off a higher weight. 7/1 (4) SILENT FLAME and 18/1 (8) WILLINGLY could also be contenders if fit after a layoff, while 10/1 (6) MAXZENO is unexposed but has yet to win. 16/1 (3) BROKEN SPEAR and 18/1 (1) TRUE JEM may struggle based on recent performances.

A step up in class may not be enough to stop SOCIETY LION securing a double following last week's success over this trip at Thirsk. Ed Dunlop's six-year-old can have another big say in proceedings off 3lb higher, although the second home Cold Stare is now 2lb better off and can give him plenty to think about. Maxzeno has filled the runner-up spot on his last three outings and is interesting on his handicap bow, while recent Windsor winner Coco Bear adds further spice to the race.

COLD STARE and Society Lion clash for the second weekend running, with the former taken to turn the tables from Thirsk and snap a losing run dating back to autumn 2021. Recent Windsor winner Coco Bear may prove best of the remainder.

If there's an unexposed runner in the line-up it's probably MAXZENO, and Mick Appleby's lightly raced 4yo gets the vote.

16:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

2.5/1 (1) HOUR BY HOUR is likely to do well as it has recently placed in a handicap race and has confirmed ability on soft ground. It is also shortlisted, indicating potential for success.

HOUR BY HOUR was only narrowly denied in deeper waters at Pontefract over 6f last time out and even though he has to shoulder top weight here, he is entitled to improve given that was his first run off a winter break. Angel Time bolted up in a claimer over 6f at this track and is feared most, although the unexposed United Force makes his handicap debut in first-time cheekpieces and also warrants a market check.

Scottish raider HOUR BY HOUR can build on his good reappearance second at Pontefract and go one better under David Probert. Ryan Moore gets the call up for United Force who can bounce back from a disappointing run at Newcastle and provide the chief threat ahead of Strategia, who may benefit from this drop back to 7f.

Free-going STRATEGIA gets the vote with this drop back to 7f in his favour. United Force and Hello Arthur are interesting.

16:50 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, 1.75/1 (2) SILASTAR and 3.75/1 (5) IVY AVENUE seem to be the strongest contenders. Both have recent second-place finishes in handicaps, with 1.75/1 (2) SILASTAR being considered and 3.75/1 (5) IVY AVENUE worthy of respect on their second outings for their new yards. 5.5/1 (4) BIG BEAR HUG and 8.5/1 (6) CONTRAST also seem to have a chance of performing well based on their recent form.

IVY AVENUE made a promising start for these connections when filling the runner-up spot at Doncaster. She's well treated on the pick of her Irish form, and it would be no surprise were she to take a step forward for a trainer who often does well with his new recruits. Silastar merits consideration in the hands of Ryan Moore, while Big Bear Hug would also hold every chance if able to build on her recent Nottingham second.

IVY AVENUE made a solid start for Mick Appleby when second at Doncaster last month and takes marginal preference over Silastar, who shaped well at Kempton last time. Big Bear Hug also merits respect.

Contrast and Silastar are strongly considered. The top two options, however, may be Big Bear Hug and IVY AVENUE.

17:25 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to predict which horse will do well based on this summary as there are several contenders with varying levels of form and potential. However, 4/1 (5) RAJMEISTER and 5/1 (4) NAVY DRUMS seem to be the strongest based on recent performances and handling of ground conditions. 16/1 (2) LAERTES also shows potential as a lightly-raced maiden who has been improving and could be a surprise contender.

Having been narrowly denied at Redcar two starts ago, RAJMEISTER made no mistake when winning at Nottingham to open his account at the 17th time of asking. That success might be the catalyst to better things for the son of Showcasing, so he's taken to defy a 4lb rise. Navy Drums has been in good form on the all-weather and he'll be a force if able to translate that form to turf. Laertes shaped with promise on his handicap debut, finishing third at Catterick in September, and a first-time tongue-tie could spark further improvement.

RAJMEISTER finally opened his account at Nottingham and is taken to follow up. Navy Drums is also in top form and is feared most ahead of the returning Laertes.

Stallone is respected but preference is for EY UP ITS JAZZ, who finished a place behind him at Thirsk last week after a layoff.
