LTO Selection:

17:55 Leicester Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CHIC COLOMBINE shaped well on debut over 6f at Haydock, as she was only beaten three lengths when just fading late on. The daughter of Seahenge is likely to have learned a great deal from that experience, and she can find the required improvement to shed her maiden tag today. The main danger might be Ebt's Guard, who showed some ability at Leicester on debut and could take a step forward. Any market support for Archie Watson-trained newcomer Royal Hussar would be of interest.

CHIC COLOMBINE was too green to justify market confidence at Haydock but she still offered plenty to work on and this looks an ordinary maiden. Ebt's Guard and Tiora both showed promise first-time up and can be expected to improve.

Preference is for CHIC COLOMBINE, who sets the standard on her promising third at Haydock and is open to progress upped in trip.

Has not progressed since her debut win last May and has plenty to prove; hood added.

(7) Furnicoe 12/1, Remains a maiden after 17 Flat runs. Ran up to best when fifth of 10 in handicap at Thirsk (5f, good, 5/1) 12 days ago but he needs more to gain an elusive first success here.
Back to form in last two runs but she's now 0-17 and others look stronger.
LTO Selection:

18:25 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

STORM FOX had first-time cheekpieces work the oracle at Thirsk earlier in the month, as she went in by just over a length, and she looks to have lots in her favour once more off 5lb higher. The daughter of Bungle Inthejugnle has taken a step forward for each run this season and could do so again. Another to consider is Class Member, who filled the runner-up spot last time in a class 5 event and now goes off a 2lb higher rating at this lower level, while South Dakota Sioux is also one for the shortlist.

CLASS MEMBER confirmed that sprinting is the way to go with her when chasing home a likeable rival at Chepstow last week and she can get off the mark in this tight contest. Storm Fox is in fine heart at present and can give another good account alongside fellow last-time-out winner South Dakota Sioux.

An interesting race in which recent Thirsk winner STORM FOX gets the vote ahead of Class Member and South Dakota Sioux.

(1) Baileysgutfeeling 0.4/1, Useful gelding. 9/1, career best when winning 10-runner handicap at Kempton (7f) 24 days ago, dominating. Obvious claims on these terms.
Made all in good AW handicap (7f) latest; should be hard to beat on this drop into seller.

Minor step back in right direction on Thursday but has something to prove back at 6f.

King's Gem

3/1(-50%)
(4) King's Gem 3/1, Unreliable type. Third of 4 in handicap (4/6) at Newcastle (7.1f), finding little. Off 117 days (has undergone a wind op in the interim) and appears to be the one most likely to make a race of it with Baileysgutfeeling. Cheekpieces on 1st time.
0-7 but he has a pretty solid record and is respected back at 6f; has had wind surgery.
LTO Selection:

18:55 Leicester Seller (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

This should be a straightforward task for BAILEYSGUTFEELING, who is a highly-rated contender for a race of this nature with a mark of 87. The four-year-old was a ready winner at Kempton last time by just under three lengths and he is the one to be with. King's Gem has had wind surgery since failing to justify favouritism at Newcastle when last seen in February and he can fill second place, with Erosion Risk taken to beat Counsel home for third.

Though BAILEYSGUTFEELING's profile on the all-weather is more compelling than on turf, he is still hard to oppose here on the back of a dominant all-the-way success in a Kempton handicap last month. King's Gem is the clear pick for forecast purposes, given that Counsel and Erosion Risk are both essentially opposable for various reasons.

The useful BAILEYSGUTFEELING made all in a good 7f handicap last time and should be hard to beat on this drop into a seller.

(5) She's Out Of Reach 14/1, Lightly-raced maiden on Flat. Ninth of 10 in handicap at Wolverhampton (16.6f, 33/1) 23 days ago. Back down in trip.
Inconsistent eight-race maiden and others are more convincing.

11/1(-230%)
(3) Flintstone 11/1, Pulled up in handicap hurdle at Worcester (20f, good to soft, 28/1) 31 days ago, never travelling well and pulled up before 2 out. Needs to get back on track returning to the level but that certainly not out of the question.
Disappointing over hurdles in his last three runs and has bit to prove back on the Flat.
LTO Selection:

19:25 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

MY CHIQUITA struck on her handicap bow at Nottingham over 1m2f earlier in the month and she now goes off a 4lb higher mark, which may not be enough to prevent her from going in again with a 7lb claimer on board. The main threat might be Ivy Avenue, who has filled the runner-up spot on all three of her three starts for the Michael Appleby yard and she is likely to be on the premises once more. Flintstone makes his return to the Flat and is worth a second look.

IVY AVENUE and My Chiquita both arrive in form and rate the pair to focus on, the former narrowly given the vote under Billy Loughnane. The latter remains low-mileage however and should put up a big threat. Flintstone can do best of the others.

4yo MY CHIQUITA (nap) started her handicap career with a convincing win at Nottingham and is open to more progress back up in trip.

Last seen in January when form dipped after two placings in 6f nurseries; tongue-tie off.

Cheekpieces and 6f did the trick at Windsor (good to firm) latest in his second handicap.
LTO Selection:

19:55 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

WOOBAY didn't appear to see out the 7f at Ayr on handicap debut but drops back in trip here and may be able to get off the mark after being eased 2lb. Mostallim will be dangerous under Billy Loughnane and must be considered, along with Raven's Applause, who was a gutsy winner off a 4lb lower mark at Windsor last time. There is a strong suspicion that we haven't seen the best of Profitable Dawn yet and she will be a danger to all if able to get back on track after racing too freely at Kempton last time.

LIBRA TIGER found only one who had fallen plenty in the weights too strong when runner-up over this trip at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and a repeat should see him play a lead role operating from the same mark. Sassy Redhead, back from a break, and Windsor-scorer Raven's Applause head up the dangers.

The initiative may lie with RAVEN'S APPLAUSE who is sufficiently lightly raced to build on his Windsor win 12 days ago.

LTO Selection:

20:25 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Havana Heat has gone close the last twice and looks sure to be in the mix once more, while Al Muzn disappointed on handicap debut at Nottingham last time and now the blinkers are reached for going up in trip. The suggestion is MOTASALEETA, who came clear with an 84-rated rival in a claimer last time and a reproduction of that effort would make him pretty tough to beat, with Billy Loughnane taking off a very handy 3lb.

HAVANA HEAT looks ready for 7f judged on his staying-on second at Brighton last week so he makes as much appeal as any of these. Stintino Sunset's limit is pretty well established but she's still a threat at this level, with Al Muzn a potential improver for his excellent yard.

The most striking candidate to make the breakthrough among this group of maidens appears to be HAVANA HEAT.

(4) Foreseeable Future 2.25/1, Two wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Ripon in May. 10/3, fourth of 7 in handicap at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Should make his presence felt.
Two wins from the front last month and a close fourth at Catterick on latest outing.

(3) Willingly 8.5/1, Course winner. 16/1, first run since leaving Mark Usher when below form fourth of 8 in handicap at this course (6f, heavy) 49 days ago. Looks vulnerable for win purposes.
Could be a lot straighter second time out but ground softer than good has appeared ideal.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This is likely to be run at a frantic pace as several of these like to be on or pressing the pace. Grandfather Tom has been in cracking form, winning three of his last four, and his front-running style is suited to this track, but the fear is that he could be pressed for the lead, so maybe the safer option will be BOBBY ON THE BEAT. The selection stays 6f well so if Josephine Gordon can be patient on him and he may be able to pick these off in the closing stages. Similar thoughts apply to Under Curfew, who also has fair claims.

With this drop back in trip expected to work in his favour, BOBBY ON THE BEAT gets the nod in a tricky-looking contest. The hat-trick seeking Grandfather Tom has to be feared, for all that a 6 lb rise for his recent Lingfield success will make things tougher. Foreseeable Future and Under Curfew can do battle for minor honours.

Four of these have registered at least one commendable effort recently on turf. GRANDFATHER TOM\ seems to be in particularly good heart.

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.
