0-9 but ran well in defeat on heavy ground last time; cheekpieces added today.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Leicester Handicap (Class 5) 10f Race Class Flow

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

KAMANIKA has been steadily progressive this season and the previous C&D winner, who struck at Sandown last month, is fancied to shrug off a 2lb rise to repeat the dose. Barney's Angel continues in good form and might give the selection most to think about. Wintercrack has been below par recently but the daughter of Cracksman receives a welcome drop in class and should not be written off.

None of these can be ruled out but it's still hard to side against Joseph Parr's thriving filly KAMANIKA who handles the mud really well and is weighted to bag a fourth success of 2023. Barney's Angel is also proven under the conditions and arrives in good order so rates the chief threat, although Hystery Bere shouldn't be underestimated back in this sphere after a chasing success at Warwick.

After a big run in defeat on heavy ground in August, MACHO SUN gets the vote in the hope the first-time cheekpieces aid his cause.

40/1(-150%)
(3) Sharona 40/1, Twice-raced filly. Seventh of 8 in maiden at Yarmouth (9.1f, good to soft, 20/1) 28 days ago. Back down in trip. Probably more one for handicaps further down the line.
Safely held when seventh on her first two starts and has a lot to find with Primo Lara.

1/4(+53%)
(1) Primo Lara 1/4, Once-raced colt. Fourth of 12 in maiden (7/2) at Yarmouth (7f, good to soft) on debut 27 days ago, nearest finish. That represents decent form and, unless newcomer Loved By You turns out to be above-average, he should be winning this.
Well-bred colt; made very promising debut last month; strong claims here.

3rd (2) Loved By You (3/1 -50%)
Loved By You

3
3/1(-50%)
(2) Loved By You 3/1, Foaled May 14. Too Darn Hot filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 1m-1¼m winner Declared Interest and 7f/1m winner Fresh Hope, both useful. Yard enjoying a fine season with its 2-y-os and this filly makes plenty of appeal on paper.
Out of a half-sister to a Group 1 winner; interesting newcomer.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Leicester Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

425,000gns purchase PRIMO LARA posted a solid fourth on his Yarmouth debut, having been backed into joint-favourtism, and he can put that experience to good use today. He's related to a couple of Group winners and this looks a good opportunity to shed his maiden tag. It would be no surprise to see the Ralph Beckett-trained Loved By You make a race of it on her debut, while Sharona, who has shown little in her two starts, might be one for handicaps after today.

PRIMO LARA attracted plenty of support ahead of his promising debut fourth in a decent maiden at Yarmouth where he put in good late work under a considerate ride. This is no foregone conclusion with appealing newcomer Loved By You in opposition (the market will be informative where that rival is concerned), but the son of New Bay is brimming with potential and should emerge on top. Sharona will need to leave her previous form well behind if she's to trouble Primo Lara.

The newcomer Loved By You certainly looks the part on paper but PRIMO LARA sets a pretty good form standard.

5/1(-43%)
(3) Lordsbridge Flyer 5/1, 6/1, promising second of 7 in maiden at Haydock (6f, soft) on her debut 18 days ago. Open to improvement so she can't be discounted.
Debut second in maiden at Haydock; Havana Grey filly is open to progress; not discounted.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Leicester Stakes (Class 3) 6f Race Class Flow

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

ADAAY IN DEVON was never involved over 7f in a valuable fillies' series final at Goodwood last time. She sets the standard back at 6f, though, and Rod Millman's filly should prove difficult to beat off level weights. Heritage House pushed an improver all the way on her latest outing and she's likely to give the selection most to think about, while Lordsbridge Flyer can't be dismissed following a good second on debut.

A case can be made for all of the trio but James Fanshawe's C&D scorer HERITAGE HOUSE arrives on the up so is fancied to edge out form-choice Adaay In Devon who has to shrug off a below-par showing at Goodwood. Lordsbridge Flyer can build on her promising debut Haydock second and also have a say in an intriguing conditions event.

James Fanshawe's Dark Angel fill HERITAGE HOUSE arrives on the up so can fend off form pick Adaay In Devon and bag a second win.

Yet to record any worthwhile form; he's hard to make a case for.
LTO Selection:

16:00 Leicester Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

CHRIS'S MATE proved far more competitive when a close-up second on his handicap bow at Yarmouth last month and the Robyn Brisland-trained colt may land these spoils here off only 2lb higher in the ratings. Bellestarr's stamina appeared to be stretched by the 1m2f distance when fourth on the all-weather at Newcastle last time and better is expected from the filly on the return to a mile. Weston Court makes most appeal of the remainder.

Most of these arrive with a question mark against them so this looks an excellent opportunity for CHRIS'S MATE to go one better than his very good Yarmouth second last time out and get off the mark. Tres Chic could prove the main danger to Robyn Brisland's colt on the back of her good Brigthon fourth ahead of Budding Poet and Weston Court.

Not so competitive as the numbers suggest. CHRIS'S MATE looks the way to go on the back of his excellent Yarmouth nursery second.

LTO Selection:

16:35 Leicester Seller (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Although SPIRIT GENIE failed to land a blow when finishing eighth on his stable debut at Newcastle recently, the three-year-old holds outstanding claims on the ratings now dropped into a selling contest and he is hard to oppose. Georgiava is the biggest threat if judged on the figures and, if seeing out the rise in distance, may emerge as the main challenger, ahead of Khathak, who is likely to prove more competitive on his return to this company.

SPIRIT GENIE offered little on first outing since leaving Mrs J. Harrington (sold 8,000 gns) after 5 months off at Newcastle but he's the form pick here down in class so is worth another chance. Georgiava is also favoured by these weights so is the obvious threat ahead of the temperamental Khathak.

Fairly useful ex-Irish winner SPIRIT GENIE holds the edge on form and should build on his debut 8th for Jennie Candlish.

Creditable third on AW return and something presumably wasn't right when last of 7 on his Newmarket handicap debut in May (off since). Returns as a lightly-raced 3-y-o but his mark looks tough.

Winless this season but he comes here in decent nick; he's one for the shortlist.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Leicester Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

An eye-catcher when not getting a clear run two furlongs out before running on late for fourth at York last month, LOWTON could be primed to return to winning ways on this occasion. The return to softer ground is a plus and he can get the better of Soar Above, who has become well-handicapped of late but is winless since April 2022. Able Kane and the unexposed Legend Of Leros are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

LOWTON shaped well in a big-field York handicap last month and looks good for a second C&D success of the year on the back of that. If first-time headgear has a positive effect Marshal Dan, who goes very well in the mud, could be the one to give the selection most to think about.

C&D winner LOWTON (nap) comes here on the back of an excellent York fourth and handles soft ground really well so he gets the vote.

LTO Selection:

17:45 Leicester Stakes (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

A couple of these are arriving off long absences and it could pay to side with the race-fit KING OF FURY, who has run very creditably on both starts to date, over this C&D and then at Kempton last week. The form of those contests may not be up to much, but he showed enough to suggest that he can get off the mark in this company. That may be at the main expense of Royal Jet and Cervetto, who has not run since this time last year and makes his first start for the William Jarvis stable.

KING OF FURY sets a clear standard so can open his account at the third attempt. Royal Jet hinted at ability in a decent Ascot novice last season so may emerge as the biggest threat on his belated return.

The one with by far the least to prove is KING OF FURY, who made a pleasing debut when third over C&D on slow ground in August.

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.
