4.5/1(+44%)
(5) Fengari 4.5/1, Foaled February 21. Territories filly. Half-sister to 2-y-o 6f winner Lunarscape. Dam 6f winner. Bred for speed and market check advised on debut.
February foal who holds a couple of notable entries; market will guide under Ben Curtis.

6/1(+0%)
(1) Mullins Beach 6/1, Showed more than first time up when fifth of 8 in maiden at Bath (5f, soft) 12 days ago. Claims if building on that.
Better last time but that was far from exciting and he'll need another good step forward.

Ponga

1.25
1.25/1(-56%)
(2) Ponga 1.25/1, Posted promising second on Kempton debut (5f) last month. Not in quite the same form when third of 12 in maiden at Beverley (5f, soft, 11/4) since but looks the one to beat nonetheless.
Cracked late over a stiff 5f on soft ground latest; conditions a concern after that.

4th (6) Grise (14/1 -40%)
Grise

14/1(-40%)
(6) Grise 14/1, Foaled April 8. €8,000 foal, €8,000 yearling, El Kabeir filly. Half-sister to several winners, including useful winner up to 1¼m Saint Steven and winner up to 1m Come On Come On. Yard to yet have a 2-y-o winner this term.
Yard struggling for winners of late and is 0-13 with juveniles this spring; market useful.

7th (3) Tea Leaf Ted (4/1 +50%)
Tea Leaf Ted

4
4/1(+50%)
(3) Tea Leaf Ted 4/1, Foaled March 15. 2,000 gns yearling, Mayson colt. Dam unraced. Yard has made a good start to the season with juveniles.
Super Sprint entrant from a yard that's been among the winners; been found the ideal race.
LTO Selection:

17:40 Leicester Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, 0.8/1 (2) PONGA looks like the strongest contender and is likely to finish in 1st place. 6/1 (1) MULLINS BEACH and 33/1 (7) RUN JOY RUN have outside chances of finishing 2nd and 3rd, but their performances have not been particularly impressive so far. It is difficult to predict the performance of 8/1 (3) TEA LEAF TED, 14/1 (4) COASTAL SUNRISE, 8.5/1 (5) FENGARI, and 12/1 (6) GRISE without more information, but their market position and trainer's form may give some indication of their chances.

PONGA finished a fair third over this trip at Beverley last time and he is taken to improve, especially when considering his run for second at Kempton on his racecourse debut last month. The son of Acclamation is entitled to break his maiden at the third time of asking. Debutants Tea Leaf Ted and Grise appeal most of the remainder.

PONGA couldn't quite match his debut form when third at Beverley earlier this month but looks the likeliest scorer here. Mullins Beach is the obvious danger on form, whilst Fengari may be the pick of the newcomers.

Dominic Ffrench Davis is enjoying a good spring with 2yos and TEA LEAF TED may be up to the job. Fengari is interesting too.

Zuraig

7.5
7.5/1(+46%)
(5) Zuraig 7.5/1, Fair gelding. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 25/1, thirteenth of 14 in handicap at Bath (10.2f, soft) 12 days ago, very slowly away and always detached. Temperament very much under suspicion now.
Again blew the start latest and the returning cheekpieces will need to make a difference.

She's Out Of Reach

40
40/1(-21%)
(7) She's Out Of Reach 40/1, Showed little all 4 starts in bumpers and similar story in pair of AW novice events in recent weeks for present yard. Passed over even allowing for this drop into selling company.
Been beaten a long way in two Wolverhampton starts this spring.
3
3rd (3) Still Standing (7/1 -17%)
Still Standing

7
7/1(-17%)
(3) Still Standing 7/1, Useful staying handicapper on Flat in his pomp for Jessica Harrington but operating well below his best over hurdles/on Flat more recently for William Durkan, ninth of 14 in handicap at Dundalk (2m) in March. Starts out for new yard now.
Struggled under both codes last year; push to say these conditions are ideal.
1
4th (1) Celestial Force (4/1 -60%)
Celestial Force

4
4/1(-60%)
(1) Celestial Force 4/1, Fairly useful at up to 2m on Flat for Tom Dascombe earlier in career and developed into a fair hurdler for Paul Nicholls thereafter, winning 4 times. Absent since finishing second in a claiming hurdle on debut for this yard late in 2021 but big player if ready to roll on return back on Flat.
Has run well on this sort of ground; Ben Curtis is a positive booking after a long break.

Soothing Blaze

8.5
8.5/1(+39%)
(9) Soothing Blaze 8.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, eighth of 10 in handicap (20/1) at Yarmouth (8f, heavy) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip.
Goes beyond an extended 1m1f for the first time; stamina wouldn't be assured on pedigree.

Moltisanti

3.33
3.33/1(+72%)
(8) Moltisanti 3.33/1, Fair gelding. Sixth of 7 in handicap (33/1) at Pontefract (8f, good to soft) 19 days ago, slowly away and left behind from 3f out. Significantly up in trip.
Didn't live up to expectations last year; goes beyond an extended 1m for the first time.
2
7th (2) Navegaon Gate (2/1 +78%)
Navegaon Gate

2
2/1(+78%)
(2) Navegaon Gate 2/1, Ungenuine type. 8/1, below form ninth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Ffos Las (23.9f, soft) in January, ridden after 4 out and soon beaten. Pick of his form gives him claims in a very trappy seller but he's far from the easiest to predict. Cheekpieces replace visor.
Lacks consistency but has less to prove than the rest back from a short break; player.
LTO Selection:

18:10 Leicester Seller (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

It is difficult to determine which horse will do well from this summary as many have performed poorly in their recent races or have inconsistent form. However, 2.5/1 (1) CELESTIAL FORCE stands out as a horse with a proven track record on this type of ground and a successful career both on the flat and over hurdles. Ben Curtis is also a positive booking for the ride. 9/1 (2) NAVEGAON GATE and Little could also be considered as potential contenders based on their past performances, but their lack of consistency and recent poor form make it difficult to predict their success. Therefore, the predicted finish for the top three horses would be 2.5/1 (1) CELESTIAL FORCE in 1st, 9/1 (2) NAVEGAON GATE in 2nd, and Little in 3rd.

CELESTIAL FORCE hasn't been seen on the Flat since 2019, but the gelded son of Sea The Stars has posted some respectable efforts over timber of late and gets a rather tentative vote here. Tiger Voice has been kept busy over both hurdles and fences of late and is feared most, while Still Standing looks the pick of the remainder.

A decidedly trappy seller with CELESTIAL FORCE receiving the tentative vote in the hope he's ready to roll after a lengthy absence. Free Chakarte and Still Standing may emerge as the chief threats.

A few were useful in the past but only NAVEGAON GATE has achieved anything in recent times. Watch the market with Celestial Force.

King Of Speed

14/1(-250%)
(2) King Of Speed 14/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 13/2 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, bit below form third of 8 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 113 days. Has good chance on pick of form.
Regressed last year but is on a competitive mark now; stiff 6f would be a slight concern.

Autumn Flight

9
9/1(-157%)
(4) Autumn Flight 9/1, Back to winning ways in 11-runner handicap (6/1) at Brighton (6f, good) earlier this month, always holding on. Since joined new yard and remains fairly treated. Should go well again.
Fair chance he gets his own way into this smaller field and should go well again.

Malham Tarn Cove

6.5
6.5/1(+41%)
(5) Malham Tarn Cove 6.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable sixth of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 50/1) 15 days ago. Not out of things.
Didn't run badly on his comeback and is lightly raced compared to the rest; considered.

(3) Kyber Crystal 11/1, Below form sixth of 12 in handicap at Windsor (6f, heavy, 33/1) 19 days ago, never nearer. Others preferred.
Regressive maiden who's done most racing over 5f; handles these conditions though.

Danzart

(6) Danzart 1.62/1, Posted best effort for some time when second of 14 in handicap over C&D (heavy, 33/1) 14 days ago. Can race off same mark and is one for the shortlist.
Showing more off tonight's career-low mark lately; holds solid claims on latest C&D second.

Autumn Angel

1.88
1.88/1(+37%)
(1) Autumn Angel 1.88/1, Winner at Southwell in February and back to that sort of form when third of 14 in handicap over C&D (heavy, 14/1) 14 days ago. Races off same mark and ought to go well again.
Consistent and handles this ground fine; often takes a grip but is shortlisted.
7
7th (7) Cazeva Princess (40/1 +0%)
Cazeva Princess

40
40/1(+0%)
(7) Cazeva Princess 40/1, Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Last of 12 in minor event at Chelmsford City (8f, 50/1) 86 days ago. Back down in trip. 1 lb out of the handicap. Hard to fancy.
Never been up to much and out of form early in the year; never run on this sort of ground.
LTO Selection:

18:40 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, the horses that have the best chance of finishing in the top three are 2.5/1 (6) DANZART, 3.5/1 (4) AUTUMN FLIGHT, and 3/1 (1) AUTUMN ANGEL. 2.5/1 (6) DANZART has been showing solid form, 3.5/1 (4) AUTUMN FLIGHT has recently won a smaller field race and is well-treated in the new yard, and 3/1 (1) AUTUMN ANGEL has been consistent and handles the ground well. The other horses either have not been in good form or have not shown recent promise.

A game winner over this trip at Brighton earlier this month, AUTUMN FLIGHT looks capable of securing a double on his stable debut for Ian McInnes. A 4lb rise for that success may not be enough to hold the seven-year-old back here, but Danzart retains the mark following a creditable second over C&D last month and can give the selection plenty to think about. King Of Speed finished third at Newcastle last time out and completes the shortlist.

DANZART has been given a chance by the handicapper and returned to form when runner-up over C&D a fortnight ago. He can go one better here. Autumn Angel and Autumn Flight look the likeliest dangers.

Front-runner AUTUMN FLIGHT arrives in good form and will have no problem with the much softer ground. He's preferred to Danzart.

Some promise when fifth of seven on 7f Newmarket debut; should do better.
LTO Selection:

19:10 Leicester Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to predict with certainty which horse will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place. However, some horses that show promise and are likely to perform well include 12/1 (8) WHERE'S FREDDY, 1.38/1 (6) LOWTON, and 3.5/1 (4) GREEN GO. 12/1 (8) WHERE'S FREDDY and 1.38/1 (6) LOWTON have both shown promising performances in their recent races and are expected to improve further. 3.5/1 (4) GREEN GO is a well-bred newcomer from a top stable and may perform well based on betting trends. However, as with any horse race, unforeseen circumstances and factors can always affect the outcome.

This could turn into a match between LOWTON and Ascari, where the former just shades the vote for the Ed Bethell stable. The son of Pivotal shaped well on his first start when beaten under three lengths at Doncaster over this trip and, with the likelihood of much more to come, he could prove very tough to beat. Of the remainder, Green Go looks the most interesting on debut and he warrants a market check.

LOWTON made an excellent start under a considerate ride when third at Doncaster first time out and, unless Green Go proves to be an above-average newcomer, he should be up to scoring at the second attempt. Ascari is also a player despite looking a little wayward last time.

This might develop into a straight fight between LOWTON and Ascari, with narrow preference for the former.

Broken Spear

1/1(+75%)
(4) Broken Spear 1/1, Winless last year but made a timely return to form when narrowly outpointed by an in-form rival (pair clear) on penultimate start over C&D in April. Fared best of those who raced towards inside when fourth at Chester (7f) 3 days ago and not out of things back at 6f.

(2) Blind Beggar 5.5/1, Latest win at Chelmsford (5f) in February. Eleventh of 12 in handicap at Redcar (6f, heavy, 7/2) 33 days ago, the run best excused on account of being poorly drawn. Underfoot conditions no problem here and better showing anticipated.
Had an excuse last time; real possibilities on previous second in the mud at Doncaster.

Did enough to confirm his return to form when fourth under a forceful ride when fourth at Salisbury (6f) 9 days ago and he could just be worth chancing.

Runner-up on soft ground at Windsor last two starts; deserves a return to winning ways.

Starts the season on an attractive mark but record on ground softer than good is patchy.
LTO Selection:

19:40 Leicester Handicap (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 3.5/1 (3) TYGER BAY 2nd: 6/1 (8) PARISIAC 3rd: 7/1 (6) COLD STARE

COLD STARE ran a creditable third last time over C&D considering he missed the break and he was dropped 1lb for that effort. The eight-year-old gelding is now 13lb lower than his last winning mark and looks to have conditions in his favour. The main danger looks to be Tyger Bay, who can remain competitive off the same mark as at Windsor last time. Blind Beggar would be a player if bouncing back to form.

PARISIAC took a step back in the right direction when third on his penultimate start at Thirsk and, having again ran well when fourth at Salisbury since, he gets the narrow vote to confirm himself on a handy mark. Broken Spear has bounced back to form also in recent weeks and is feared, with Blind Beggar another to consider in an open-looking contest.

This looks a good opportunity for TYGER BAY (nap) to return to winning ways, with Blind Beggar the main danger.

Based on the information given, 1.63/1 (2) ALBESEEINGYER seems to have the best chance of winning as it has completed a four-timer and won a 17-runner handicap race recently. 6/1 (5) MARGARET'S FUCHSIA and 5/1 (1) EPONINA may also perform well and finish in 2nd and 3rd place. 10/1 (3) MISS SARAJEVO and 9/1 (6) STORYINTHESAND are not completely dismissed but may have a lower chance of winning. 4.5/1 (4) STAR SOUND is a potential improver but may not have been given a lenient rating by the assessor.

Course specialist EPONINA won this contest last year off 2lb lower and she tuned up nicely for a repeat with a solid runner-up effort at Beverley last time out. Heavy ground should pose no concerns and she may have too much for the in-form Albeseeingyer, who arrives in search of a five-timer. Margaret's Fuchsia wasn't beaten far at Yarmouth and must also enter calculations.

ALBESEEINGYER needed to up her game considerably to make it four in a row at Doncaster on reappearance and she's well worth chancing to keep up her winning sequence. Eponina is respected given her course record and there's reason to think Star Sound can improve now switched to handicaps.

The progressive ALBESEEINGYER is taken to extend her winning spree to five. Eponina might follow her home.

(1) Big Bear Hug 2.75/1, Below form fourth of 10 in handicap at this course (10f, heavy, 7/1) 14 days ago. Return to this trip should suit and she ran well on reappearance, so worthy of respect.

More in two runs back this spring off a career-low mark; has conditions to suit; player.

(2) Buraback 2/1, Cheekpieces on for 1st time, respectable third of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW, 6/4) 9 days ago, doing well in the circumstances having been very slowly away. Worth chancing.
No problems with heavy ground last autumn but needs to settle much better back up from 7f.

20:40 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the summary, I predict that 4/1 (5) DISTINCTION, 1.1/1 (2) BURABACK, and 3.33/1 (1) BIG BEAR HUG will finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. 4/1 (5) DISTINCTION has had recent successful runs and has appropriate conditions, 1.1/1 (2) BURABACK had a respectable third place finish despite starting slowly, and 3.33/1 (1) BIG BEAR HUG has shown potential on soft/heavy ground and has the advantage of a return to a preferred distance. 18/1 (3) LONG CALL has not shown recent form and 7/1 (4) KINGWELL has not been competitive in their last few races. Player has the potential based on their past performances but has not shown recent success.

BURABACK has been through several trainers in his career, but he has shown particular promise of late for Michael Appleby, for whom he has run with credit on his last three starts. The son of Buratino has performed well under these conditions before and gets the vote ahead of the likes of Big Bear Hug, and Distinction, who is winless since August 2021.

BURABACK is unexposed for his current stable and did very well to get third at Lingfield recently considering he completely blew the start, so he gets the nod ahead of Big Bear Hug, who should bounce back to form returning to a more suitable trip. Distinction is also considered.

Buraback needs to settle upped from 7f and DISTINCTION, who has conditions to suit, looks the way to go.

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.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool.

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.
