14:10 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Saint Riquier won under Joe Leavy over 1m4f at Lingfield recently and he merits respect from a 3lb higher mark. However, a drop in trip might not be his ideal scenario and, with that in mind, preference is for FOUGERE. The daughter of Bated Breath was narrowly denied in an apprentices' handicap at Yarmouth last time out when attempting to follow up her earlier success at Nottingham and, now that Ethan Jones can claim 5lb aboard the filly, she can go one better. Fillyfudge heads the remainder.

FOUGERE has a win and close second to her name since fitted with a hood and can get her head back in front here. Fillyfudge is another who has reacted well to headgear in recent starts and can give Dean Ivory's filly most to do ahead of Saint Riquier and Double Red.

Double Red, Fougere and Fillyfudge have a shout but SAINT RIQUIER, who had a long layoff, can continue to rebuild.

14:40 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Al Waseela was just touched off at Chelmsford last month and she enters calculations back on the grass, while Lolapalooza showed plenty more at Nottingham three weeks ago and is interesting now pitched into nurseries. However, the vote goes to LIRICIST. Tony Newcombe's filly was 13lb out of the handicap when winning at odds of 66/1 recently and he must shoulder a penalty today. There was no fluke about that performance, though, and he could repeat the dose.

AL WASEELA looks to have got off lightly with a 5 lb rise for Chelmsford given she was a long way clear of the rest. Last week's big-priced Chepstow winner Liricist can give her most to do.

Liricist and Al Waseela have reasonable claims but handicap newcomer D DAY HARLEY R might be about to take a step forward.

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

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

FORMAL's debut success had already been franked, but the form received yet another boost when the third-placed horse finished a creditable second at Listed level on Saturday. The daughter of Dubawi could prove too strong under a penalty with that in mind, and she is preferred to Orchid, who struck the woodwork on her racecourse debut at Kempton. Others to note include Storm Lady and Maybe Not.

FORMAL looked a good prospect on her Newbury debut and can defy a penalty under Ryan Moore. Orchid shaped well when second on her debut 4 weeks ago and is the obvious one to follow Sir Michael Stoute's charge home. Maybe Not can build on her opening run at Kempton and figure prominently, while Starlit Spice is a newcomer to monitor in the betting given her stable's good record with 2-y-os in 2024.

This looks a two-horse race between FORMAL and Orchid. Formal made a very positive impression at Newbury and is given the vote.

15:44 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ryan Moore and Sir Michael Stoute team up with Archivist here and although the Dubawi colt was beaten close to six lengths on his debut, plenty of improvement is expected. He can go well along with Starzintheireyes, who finished second after a poor start at Newmarket on his only run and should have learned plenty from the experience, but SPIRIT OF SUMMER may be worth another chance. Second on debut and outclassed in a valuable maiden, he may find this level more to his liking.

STARZINTHEIREYES chased home Solario winner Field of Gold on his Newmarket debut in July and sets a high standard for the rest to aim at, particularly if making the expected improvement. Spirit of Summer can be forgiven his run in the Convivial at York and his second on Newmarket debut prior to that marks him down as a promising colt so he's second choice ahead of Archivist, who should be all the wiser with his Lingfield debut behind him. Binhareer looks the most interesting of the newcomers.

Although Spirit Of Summer has his sights lowered, ready preference is still for STARZINTHEIREYES who shaped so well two months ago.

Both runnings of this contest so far have gone to three-year-olds and that trend may continue if EHTIRAM runs to her best. An easy winner over this trip at Chelmsford in June, she has weakened late on over further on both starts since but looks all set to make the most of a return to what seems her best distance. Laura Bay has won twice this season over this trip and appears a serious rival, as does C&D winner Salamanca City, who is equally hard to ignore.

David Menuisier has his team in form so LAURA BAY is taken to step up again and make it 3-4 in handicaps. Ciara Pearl has had an excellent season and may give her most to do ahead of Hot Fashion and Salamanca City, a last-time-out C&D winner.

Ciara Pearl continues to run well but the potential seems to lie principally with LAURA BAY (nap) and Salamanca City.

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

Two runnings of this have seen both winners racing from the three stall and that will be good news for the supporters of YAZAMAN, who is looking for his fifth win in a row after a comfortable success at Thirsk when last seen in July. He has been put up another 6lb for that victory but he looks worth following again, despite the rise in class. Cavalier Approach drops a grade in a first-time visor and he won't mind any cut in the ground, while Yarmouth winner Fletcher's Flight is another to take seriously.

YAZAMAN showed no sign of his purple patch ending anytime soon when completing 4-timer at Thirsk so remains one to keep on the right side of. Fletcher's Flight quickly resumed winning ways at Yarmouth on his first go at 5f and is next best ahead of Sound Reason.

Fletcher's Flight looks clearly the chief danger to YAZAMAN who can make it five wins in a row.

17:17 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Rambuso Creek warrants plenty of respect as the only course winner in this field, but both of his victories have been over shorter and his last run was an uninspiring last of 15. Papabella wasn't beaten far when third at Goodwood last month and she can go well off bottom-weight, so may prove the biggest danger to GUNDOGAN. A four-length novice win last time out was thoroughly deserved after some solid placed efforts, and a mark of 72 seems more than fair for his return to handicap company.

THE RIDLER had excuses at Newcastle last time and is worth another chance having only just failed at Doncaster the time before. Royal Musketeer has been knocking on the door of late and is next best ahead of Papabella.

This is much more competitive than the Carlisle novice GUNDOGAN won by 4l three weeks ago but he has scope to build on that success.

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.

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.
