14:28 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

Orbital could go well dropping back in trip after weakening over further at Kempton on her latest start. Phone Tag ran well when second at Chester behind an in-form opponent and he has to enter calculations, but QUESTIONABLE gets the vote. She has been put up 7lb after an easy Sandown win but may have more to come over this distance.

The free-going QUESTIONABLE seemed suited by more patient tactics when off the mark at Sandown last month and she could have more to offer now connections have found the key. Another Beautiful is worth another go at this trip having shaped well at Beverley last time, while Phone Tag made a positive start for this yard when runner-up at Chester under similar conditions.

This can go QUESTIONABLE (nap), who won in good style at Sandown last month and is open to more progress.

Stayed on from off the pace at Chelmsford (7f); now goes further with blinkers added.

14:58 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

GOOD CALL is interesting here after her Southwell fourth when running on late over this trip and off 1lb lower she can go well with Tom Kiely-Marshall claiming 5lb from the saddle. Stable companion Keep Singing is an obvious rival with her September second, but she has been put up for that and may have to settle for third place with Freak Encounter, a neck behind him there, 2lb better off here.

Modest stuff but FREAK ENCOUNTER is going the right way now which should count for plenty. Mehmasself And I and Keep Singing are others to consider.

Most of these have questions to answer on the ground but a test of stamina may trigger an improved showing from CAPRICORN KING.

15:28 Leicester Stakes (Class 4) 6f Race Class Flow

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

Run To My Side looks fractionally the better of the Archie Watson pair on paper as a daughter of Al Kazeem, but her inexperience counts against her and both Southwell third Maids Head, so MY MATE BEATTIE is preferred. Ed Dunlop's Kodiac filly kept on into second over further at Newcastle last month but can be ridden more aggressively dropping back to this trip, with Hector Crouch taking the ride on this occasion.

MY MATE BEATTIE stepped up on debut when second at Newcastle and can put her experience to good use up against Archie Watson's newcomers Layla Liz and Run To My Side.

Ed Dunlop's MY MATE BERTIE sets the standard on her second at Newcastle and is a big player if she's unfazed by this drop back in trip.

15:58 Leicester Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

AROLLA showed signs of inexperience at Ffos Las on her debut, but still returned a clear winner on the slow ground. She looks a potentially smart filly on that evidence and the daughter of Kingman is take to defy a penalty. A Major Payne showed promise when runner-up at Windsor in May and can feature again if building on that effort, while Swift Storm also returns from a layoff having placed on soft going at Thirsk back in April and should handle today's underfoot conditions.

AROLLA looked a good prospect when making a winning start at Ffos Las in July and can defy a penalty. A Major Payne was beaten only by a now-useful sort at Windsor back in May so is next best ahead of Swift Storm, who's also coming back from a break.

Placed in what has turned out to be a pretty good soft-ground maiden at Thirsk in the spring, SWIFT STORM might be the answer.

This drop back in trip shouldn't be too much of an issue (won over a mile at Carlisle in July) and will be a serious each-way player down in grade here if responding well to the first-time cheekpieces.

16:30 Leicester Seller (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Jennie Candlish sent out last year's winner and ALZAHIR makes plenty of appeal on paper. The four-year-old has been competing in tough handicaps, including a fifth at York just four days ago, and can make the most of today's favourable terms in this lower grade. Classy Boy also drops in class and can get involved with an apprentice's 7lb allowance further helping his cause, while Gaiety Musical lurks at the bottom of the weights with a chance.

ALZAHIR has spent most of this season contesting strong handicaps, as was the case when he finished mid-field at York on debut for new connections just four days ago. The 4-y-o is likely to prove very hard to beat eased in grade here (meets all of this rivals on far better terms than he would if this were a handicap). Gaiety Musical gets the nod ahead of Classy Boy for forecast purposes.

Jennie Candlish won this seller 12 months ago and ALZAHIR ran well enough in a York handicap at the weekend to earn the nod.

(5) Yermanthere 9/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August. Last of 14 in handicap at Ayr (8f, good to firm, 33/1) 24 days ago and he needs to bounce back.
Other than his Carlisle success in August it's been a low-key season.

17:03 Leicester Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Spirit Genie recorded a narrow success at Haydock last month and he merits respect nudged up 2lb in the ratings, as does It Just Takes Time, who remains competitively handicapped having been on target at Beverley three weeks ago. However, a chance can be taken on EXECUTIVE DECISION. Badly outpaced early on before making good late headway over 6f at Salisbury recently, a step up in trip looks to be a positive move and it would come as no surprise were she to step forward.

With condition again in his favour, SPIRIT GENIE is taken to supplement his recent success at Haydock where he displayed a willing attitude. He landed the C&D seller on this card last year, which was his sole previous visit to Leicester. Pearle d'Or will be a threat if fully tuned-up following a break, while Executive Decision and It Just Takes Time also merit respect, along with lightly-raced handicap debutant Mahato.

His record fresh isn't encouraging but PEARLE D'OR hasn't been running badly this season on ground too fast and he's worth chancing.

(8) Equion 7/2, 8/1, confirmed himself still in good form when second of 14 in handicap at Bath (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Expected to be bang there again.
Well treated and he has run well in two of his last three races; conditions are fine.

(7) Andromedas Kingdom 20/1, Underperformed when 7¼ lengths eighth of 13 to Alika Breeze in handicap (6/1) at Bath (8f, soft) 14 days ago. Cheekpieces back on.
Three-time winner this year but now needs to bounce back from quieter runs.

(2) Swatch 22/1, Latest win at Bath in April. Creditable second of 10 in handicap at Lingfield (8f, AW, 13/8). Off 127 days. First run for yard after leaving Alice Haynes and has good claims if returning from a break in similar form.
Capable handicapper but makes stable debut after a lengthy break and that's offputting.

(3) Marsh Benham 16/1, Ungenuine type who ran up to best to get off the mark for the year in 9-runner handicap at Brighton (8f, good to soft) 7 days ago, helped by being held up in strongly-run race. Carries penalty 4-lb penalty and not an obvious type to follow up.
Perhaps flattered to win so well at Brighton as the pace collapsed up ahead of him.

No concrete evidence this season (following an absence) that he's as good as he was.

Hadn't offered much in handicaps until winning off a reduced mark from Soi Dao at Bath.

Suited by soft/heavy but winless since the 2023 Spring Mile; below par of late.

Chance on best form but still a maiden and ground this slow could be an issue.

17:35 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 8f  Race Class Flow

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

ALIKA BREEZE sprang a surprise when winning at odds of 50-1 at Bath a fortnight ago. That was a giant leap forward on what she had shown previously, but Richard Hughes' filly has few miles on the clock and may defy a 4lb rise in the handicap if arriving in a similar vein of form. Soi Dao finished behind her in second that day but has a 2lb pull and that could bring the pair closer together. Recent Brighton scorer Marsh Benham can go well under a 5lb penalty.

EQUION confirmed himself still in good form when beaten only by a thriving rival at Bath a fortnight ago and is the percentage call to go one better. Swatch has good claims if picking up where he left off for Alice Haynes in midsummer, with Astronomica also of some interest following an encouraging recent run at Lingfield.

This has an open look to it. EQUION will be at home in the conditions and has given his running in two of his last three races.

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.
