9-1, he was beaten just over 3l at Newbury (6.5f, good to firm) despite getting no cover.
LTO Selection:

17:12 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GREAT TRUTH makes a huge amount of appeal on paper, being a son of Dubawi out of a Group 2-winning juvenile, and he may yet be another potentially exciting individual from the Godolphin operation. Phone Tag (third) and Paladin (fifth) both ran with credit behind a stable companion of the selection at Haydock and are entitled to progress on what they achieved. Short Circuit is likely to have benefited from his debut effort at Newbury and is open to a considerable amount of improvement.

SHORT CIRCUIT showed promise when sixth in what was likely a decent maiden at Newbury and the son of Frankel can put that experience to good use. Charlie Appleby has an excellent record with 2-y-o newcomers so his Dubawi-colt Great Truth is an obvious threat.

Charlie Appleby has won the past two renewals of this novice and GREAT TRUTH has to be of strong interest on his debut.

Gearing's Point

2.25
2.25/1(-13%)
(2) Gearing's Point 2.25/1, 2 wins from 4 runs this year. 5/6, didn't need to improve to win 7-runner handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago, very much having run of race. Should remain competitive.
Benefited from a forward ride when prevailing over this far at Yarmouth.

Bay Of Naples

(4) Bay Of Naples 12/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2021. 10/1, last of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time. Others more persuasive.
Having an up and down year and trainer now turns to a tongue-tie; others safer.

(5) Lailah 6.5/1, 6/1, 1¼ lengths fourth of 7 to Gearing's Point in handicap at Yarmouth (11.5f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Still relatively unexposed, so could build on that.
Lightly raced and kept boxing on to be a close fourth behind Gearing's Point at Yarmouth.

Remains a maiden and others look in better nick at the minute.

(3) Blazer Two 2.5/1, C&D winner. 7/2, respectable sixth of 13 in handicap at Windsor (11.4f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Goes well here and should put up a bold bid under a positive ride.
C&D winner last month and Windsor a week later perhaps came too soon for him.

(7) Zoffany Portrait 16/1, 18/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Kempton (11f) 15 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Creditable effort penultimate outing, so not completely dismissed.
Still to be placed; has run well on the odd occasion but seems inconsistent.

14/1(+36%)
(1) Prince Abu 14/1, 6/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Southwell (14.1f) 16 days ago, slowly away. Chance on old form but struggling at present.
Hasn't been bringing best game to the races since going close at Southwell six runs back.
LTO Selection:

17:45 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

GEARING'S POINT returned to winning ways at Yarmouth on her latest start and the five-year-old commands plenty of respect off just a 2lb higher mark, especially in a contest of this nature. Blazer Two won over C&D on his penultimate outing and is likely to enter calculations, while others for the shortlist include Lailah, who was behind the selection at Yarmouth and may have more to offer up in trip, and Owens Lad.

BLAZER TWO has been successful on his last two visits to this track and he makes most appeal in an open race. In-form Gearing's Point is an obvious danger and Owens Lad, who was behind the selection last time, can't be dismissed.

James Fanshawe's LAILAH wasn't far behind second choice Gearing's Point at Yarmouth when the winner had the run of things.

(2) Angel On High 2/1, Sixteen runs since last win in 2020. 16/1, fourth of 7 in handicap at Lingfield (11.6f, good to firm) 28 days ago. Arrives in form but he's a tricky ride.
Only 4l away at Lingfield last time but finishing effort was unconvincing.

Considered on AW exploits but having only her fifth run on grass.

Tailed off the last twice; blinkers replace the cheekpieces tried last time.

(8) Afternoon Tea 12/1, Good third of 7 in minor event (40/1) at Bath (10.2f, firm) 20 days ago, suited by strong pace. Far from certain to back that up.
No wins in 12 but was close up at Bath three weeks ago (1m2f, firm).

Seaborough

18

(9) Seaborough 18/1, Unreliable type. Fifth of 8 in handicap hurdle at Fontwell (19.2f, good, 9/1). Off 8 months. Poor on last Flat run and has a bit to prove.
Only 1-31 on the Flat and, lacking a recent run, he can be taken on.
LTO Selection:

18:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

ALL ABOUT ALICE disappointed on her yard debut for Dylan Cunha when down the field at Wolverhampton earlier in the month. However, the daughter of Excelebration is worth another chance and gets the vote in what could prove to be a decent opportunity. Trusty Scout is respected following his recent second at Kempton, while Angel On High has been given a chance by the handicapper having been dropped 3lb for his latest run at Lingfield.

TRUSTY SCOUT is capable from this sort of mark and he showed better signs when second at Kempton last time, so he gets the nod over All About Alice, who failed to justify market support on stable debut at Wolverhampton but remains one to be interested in. Long Call is also worth a mention.

It's hard to trust any of these but TRUSTY SCOUT is a dual winner who ran well last time out

Suited by 7f; weighted to win again but not in the best of form at present.
LTO Selection:

18:45 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Yoshimi made a pleasing return to turf when scoring by two lengths over this distance at Carlisle on his latest run, but that was arguably the result of a falling handicap mark and he could struggle after a 5lb rise. Therefore, it could pay to side with the unexposed KRACKING, who makes both his turf and handicap bow following a decent second at Kempton last month. An opening mark of 70 looks workable for Clive Cox's inmate, while Wetherby winner Shot Of Love is another to consider off 3lb higher.

YOSHIMI got back on the scoreboard at Carlisle earlier this month and remains feasibly treated on old form. He may be able to follow up. Kracking and Shot of Love are feared most.

Shot Of Love is respected but YOSHIMI looked in peak form when winning at Carlisle and he can add to his good course record.

Record of 2-3 on AW this year, looking better than ever; form dipped behind Eponina.

(6) Aim For The Moon 20/1, 28/1, fifth of 12 in minor event at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 37 days ago, no extra final 1f. Makes handicap debut and likely she'll find a couple too strong.
Close up in one AW run; could be interesting on turf/handicap debut.

Back in good form when staying on well for second at Beverley; thereabouts.
LTO Selection:

19:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

FLORAL SPLENDOUR recorded a staying-on second over an extended 7f at Beverley on her most recent run and a marginally stiffer stamina test can see her make a return to the winner's enclosure. She has only gone up 1lb for the aforementioned outing and there is likely more to come from the four-year-old. Eponina made all over a similar trip at Nottingham earlier this month and is feared most off 3lb higher, while Dungar Glory adds further spice to the race under a 5lb penalty for her last-start success.

FLORAL SPLENDOUR returned to form from out of the blue when finishing runner-up at Beverley earlier this month and with the in-form Hollie Doyle taking over in the plate, Iain Jardine's 4-y-o can taste success for the first time since her debut last summer. Eponina took her winning efforts to double figures at Nottingham earlier this month and she's put forward as the main threat, with New Heights rounding off the shortlist.

Dungar Glory is respected but NEW HEIGHTS (nap) was perhaps in front too soon at Salisbury and she can go one better.

Ran quite well in a Class 6 at Nottingham last time (good to firm); 4lb lower for this.
LTO Selection:

19:45 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This could go the way of the progressive APACHE STAR who, despite having to shoulder top-weight here, lost little in defeat off 2lb lower when filling the runner-up spot at Nottingham earlier this month. Although the gelded son of No Nay Never has yet to score on turf, that was a step in the right direction. He is fancied to get the better of the reopposing Buddy's Beauty, who finished in front of the selection last time but is now 3lb worse off with her rival. Bungle Bay completes the shortlist.

BUDDY'S BEAUTY is on the up and displayed a good attitude to beat Apache Star at Nottingham a fortnight ago, so she's fancied to uphold the form with her old rival and go in again. Bungle Bay also merits plenty of respect in what looks like a reasonable race for the grade.

Quite open. MALHAM TARN COVE could benefit from this sharper test and he edges preference over Bungle Bay.

LTO Selection:

20:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Obama Army posted yet another runner-up effort at Hamilton last Wednesday and shouldn't mind the return to 1m2f in this contest, but a 2lb rise may prevent the Jack Channon-trained gelding from succeeding once more. I STILL HAVE FAITH returned to form when second at Haydock a fortnight ago and he makes most appeal racing off the same rating. The lightly-raced Alhambra Palace makes his handicap debut off what looks a workable mark and warrants consideration.

Preference is for KAMANIKA, who figures off a handy mark and had plenty of traffic problems when fifth at Haydock a fortnight ago. Alhambra Palace and I Still Have Faith head the list of dangers.

A few with chances but ALHAMBRA PALACE is ready for this longer trip and looks a likely improver on his handicap debut.

Fended off a subsequent winner at Windsor and any rain will aid her cause.

Not his first near miss when a clear second at Chepstow; solid prospects.

40-1 for his stable/handicap debut at Redcar and beat only one home.
LTO Selection:

20:45 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

HARRY THE HAGGLER found only an unexposed rival too strong at Chepstow on Monday and the son of Gleneagles holds leading claims turned out quickly off the same mark. Astronomica got the better of a subsequent winner when gaining a breakthrough success at Windsor last month and rates as an obvious threat off only 3lb higher. Ticket To Alaska is best excused his latest fourth-placed finish at Chepstow after rearing leaving the stalls.

HARRY THE HAGGLER pulled clear of the remainder when runner-up at Chepstow on Monday and looks the one to beat. Astronomica and Ticket To Alaska look the likeliest dangers.

With rain about there should be a good run in ASTRONOMICA who accounted for a subsequent winner at Windsor.

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.
