Leicester 14:20
Coldstream Guards Association Handicap Chase
Winner £4,225, 2nd £1,944, 3rd £972, 4th £486, 5th £242
5yo+, 6 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f 25y , GOOD TO SOFT, Soft in places (GoingStick: 5.8) (Rail movements: 2.20, 2.50, 3.20 & 3.55 +49yds and 4.28 & 5.02 +33yds)
King Of Brazil – 7/2 (bet365)
This gelding has had a mixed campaign but shaped much better when runner-up last time. A repeat of that effort could put him right in contention, though his overall consistency remains a concern. Capable on his day and one to consider.
Perfect Pupil – 12/1 (BetVictor)
Has struggled to make an impact in recent runs, and his overall form leaves questions. Needs to find considerable improvement to be a factor here, but any market support would be interesting.
Walkinthewoods – 7/4 (Unibet)
Put in a strong effort when finishing second last time and looks to be heading in the right direction. Clearly competitive off this mark, and this looks a great opportunity to get a deserved win. Strong claims.
Nine Nine Nine – 9/2 (bet365)
A reliable performer at this level who has been knocking on the door in recent starts. Placed in his last two outings and should be in the mix again. Needs to find a bit extra to win, but he’s a solid each-way contender.
Kingcormac – 9/2 (BetVictor)
Made a promising return to form when runner-up on his latest appearance. Still relatively unexposed over fences and could have more to offer. Likely to be competitive if he builds on that effort.
Bumpy Evans – 6/1 (bet365)
Has shown promise with a couple of wins earlier in the season, but his latest run was slightly below expectations. If he returns to his best, he could play a role in the finish, though he may need to prove his stamina at this trip.
Verdict
This contest appears to be a great chance for Walkinthewoods to finally get his head in front after some solid recent efforts. Nine Nine Nine and Kingcormac should provide the stiffest challenges, while King Of Brazil also has the ability to get involved if he repeats his latest performance. WALKINTHEWOODS gets the nod.

Leicester 14:50
Brian Brookes “Still Got It!” Handicap Chase
Winner £4,225, 2nd £1,944, 3rd £972, 4th £486, 5th £242
5yo+, 5 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 6f 151y , HEAVY (GoingStick: 3.4) (Rail movements: 2.15, 2.45, 3.15, 4.15 & 4.45 +49yds and 3.45 +33yds)
Itsnoteasy – 17/2 (Unibet)
After a mixed campaign, he produced a much-improved effort to finish third last time out. If he can build on that performance, he could have a say in the finish, but consistency remains a concern. Capable on his best day.
Isle Of Gold – 5/1 (bet365)
Lightly raced but has shown some ability, finishing second on his most recent start. If he continues on an upward trajectory, he should be competitive here. A leading contender if he maintains his progress.
Haut Folin – 7/1 (BetVictor)
Started the season with a pair of runner-up finishes but has failed to complete his last two outings. Needs to bounce back and put in a clear round, but if he does, he could have a role to play in the closing stages.
Fortunefavorsdbold – 9/4 (bet365)
Consistent performer who has placed in his last three starts. Always gives a good account of himself and remains in good form. Should be a strong contender once again and has solid credentials to make the breakthrough.
Innisfree Lass – 3/1 (Unibet)
Took a big step forward when finishing second last time out, suggesting she is heading in the right direction. Looks well-handicapped and could be a major player if continuing her improvement.
Dunworley – 6/1 (BetVictor)
Produced one of his better efforts when second in his latest start and could go well again. Not always the most reliable, but if in the right mood, he has the ability to be competitive.
Spotty Dog – 12/1 (bet365)
Hasn’t been at his best this season, but there were signs of encouragement in his latest performance. Needs to show more to be considered a leading contender, but could sneak a place if others underperform.
Verdict
This looks like a golden opportunity for Fortunefavorsdbold, who has been knocking on the door and could finally get his reward. Innisfree Lass is an improving type and may offer the biggest challenge, while Isle Of Gold has the potential to make an impact if building on his latest effort. FORTUNEFAVORSD BOLD gets the vote.

Leicester 15:20
Betting And Gaming Council Novices’ Limited Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
- 5yo+, 6 Runners
- Jumps,Turf , 2m 6f 151y , GOOD TO SOFT, Soft in places (GoingStick: 5.8) (Rail movements: 2.20, 2.50, 3.20 & 3.55 +49yds and 4.28 & 5.02 +33yds)
- Winner £7,922, 2nd £3,645, 3rd £1,823, 4th £912, 5th £455
Tilly Toughnut – 9/2 (📌 bet365)
Hasn’t hit top form in recent outings and was pulled up last time, raising questions about her current well-being. However, she has shown ability in the past, and a return to her best would make her a live contender. Needs to prove she still has what it takes.
Overabottleofred – 13/8 (📌 BetVictor)
Consistently knocking on the door and has placed on her last two starts. Looks capable of taking another step forward, and with a bit of luck, she could finally get her head in front. A leading player in this contest and one to keep on side.
Lady Pretender – 2/1 (📌 Unibet)
Has shown promise but has yet to convert that into a win over fences. Placed efforts suggest she is capable of getting involved, but she needs to find a finishing kick to get the job done. A solid chance if she delivers her best performance.
Shesupincourt – 4/1 (📌 bet365)
Gradually improving and produced a fair effort last time. Yet to get her nose in front over fences but has been edging closer to a breakthrough. Stamina should not be an issue, and she has the ability to be involved in the final stages.
Nancy Till – 33/1 (📌 BetVictor)
Form figures don’t inspire confidence, and her most recent runs suggest she has plenty to find against this opposition. Will need a career-best performance to be competitive, but stranger things have happened in racing. Faces a tough assignment.
Verdict
Overabottleofred has been knocking on the door and looks primed to make a breakthrough in this company. Lady Pretender remains a major threat if she finds more in the finish, while Shesupincourt continues to improve and could be a danger if progressing again. Tilly Toughnut has ability but needs to prove she’s still capable at this level. However, Overabottleofred appears the most solid option and is taken to get the job done.

Leicester 15:45
Berkeley Insurance Group Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Winner £5,281, 2nd £2,430, 3rd £1,215, 4th £608, 5th £303
5yo+, 4 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 1m 7f 201y , HEAVY (GoingStick: 3.4) (Rail movements: 2.15, 2.45, 3.15, 4.15 & 4.45 +49yds and 3.45 +33yds)
Do Your Job – 11/1 (📌 bet365)
Hasn’t been in top form this season, failing to trouble the leaders in recent outings. However, he’s been running in stronger company and could find this race more suitable. Needs to rediscover his best, but not without a chance if he does.
Mr Grey Sky – 7/2 (📌 BetVictor)
Ran well in defeat last time and seems to be getting back to form. Has performed respectably in similar races and could be well suited to the conditions here. If he builds on his latest effort, he should be in contention. A serious player.
Diamond Dice – 2/1 (📌 Unibet)
Has been running well of late but comes with risks, having unseated his rider in one of his recent starts. However, his placed efforts before that suggest he has the ability to make an impact if keeping his jumping clean. A strong chance if avoiding mistakes.
Lucky Lugger – 7/4 (📌 bet365)
Arrives in fine form, having secured victory last time out after a series of consistent runs. He appears to be on an upward curve and has the credentials to be a major factor again. One of the leading contenders in this lineup.
Verdict
Lucky Lugger comes into this in good shape and looks capable of doubling up after his recent win. Diamond Dice has shown promise but must prove his jumping can hold up under pressure. Mr Grey Sky has the experience to be a threat and should be in the mix, while Do Your Job will need to improve but is not completely ruled out. However, Lucky Lugger is the one who makes the strongest appeal.

Leicester 16:15
Quorn Maiden Hunters’ Chase
Winner £2,980, 2nd £1,491, 3rd £745, 4th £373, 5th £186
6yo+, 5 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 4f 25y , HEAVY (GoingStick: 3.4) (Rail movements: 2.15, 2.45, 3.15, 4.15 & 4.45 +49yds and 3.45 +33yds)
For One Night Only – 4/1 (📌 bet365)
Showed ability when landing a point-to-point win two starts ago but struggled when last seen under rules. Has potential for further progress, but needs to prove he can replicate his best efforts in this company. Capable if putting everything together.
Important Notice – 11/8 (📌 BetVictor)
Highly regarded in the pointing field, having won multiple times in that sphere. However, his record under rules is slightly inconsistent, with a mix of victories and non-completions. If he jumps cleanly, he is the one they all have to beat.
Pyleigh Court – 9/2 (📌 Unibet)
Has a fair bit of experience, with placed efforts in both point-to-points and under rules. Returned from a long break with a solid third last time out and should strip fitter for that effort. Can be competitive with further improvement.
Wallace Olinger – 3/1 (📌 bet365)
Consistent performer in the pointing sphere, picking up a win and several runner-up finishes. Fell on his first attempt over regulation fences but bounced back strongly to win next time out. Has to be respected if producing a clear round.
Fine Dining – 20/1 (📌 BetVictor)
Yet to make a significant impact in this sphere and was pulled up on his most recent appearance. Will need a major step forward to trouble the leading contenders. Looks an outsider on form.
Verdict
Important Notice has shown enough in point-to-points to suggest he can make an impact here, provided his jumping holds up. Wallace Olinger looks like the biggest threat, especially if he can build on his recent good form. Pyleigh Court should be fitter after his recent return and could go well, while For One Night Only has ability but needs to step up in this company. However, Important Notice gets the nod as the most likely winner.

Leicester 16:45
Cottesmore Open Hunters’ Chase
Winner £7,451, 2nd £3,728, 3rd £1,862, 4th £933, 5th £465
6yo+, 8 Runners
Jumps,Turf , 2m 6f 151y , HEAVY (GoingStick: 3.4) (Rail movements: 2.15, 2.45, 3.15, 4.15 & 4.45 +49yds and 3.45 +33yds)
Autonomous Cloud – 10/1 (📌 bet365)
Has shown glimpses of ability this season, posting a respectable fourth last time out. However, overall form has been inconsistent, and he needs to step up to be a major player. Could be competitive if running to his best, but others appeal more.
Bennys King – 15/2 (📌 BetVictor)
A veteran chaser who still retains ability despite his advancing years. Placed last time after a string of pulled-up efforts, suggesting he might be returning to form. If he can maintain that upward trajectory, he could have a say in the finish.
D’Jango – 33/1 (📌 Unibet)
Struggled in recent outings and has yet to show enough to suggest he can make an impact at this level. Will need to produce something significantly better than his latest efforts to feature here. Unlikely to be a major player.
Gracchus De Balme – 5/2 (📌 bet365)
Won well two starts ago and ran a fine race in defeat last time. Progressive sort with plenty of ability in this sphere. Should be involved in the business end of the race if maintaining his current form. One of the key contenders.
Rebel Dawn Rising – 5/1 (📌 BetVictor)
Arrives with solid hunter chase form and has won in this sphere previously. Beaten into second last time but still ran a respectable race. Could be in with a chance if improving on that effort. Worth considering.
Givega – 9/4 (📌 Unibet)
Has looked highly promising, winning back-to-back races before being given a short break. If he picks up where he left off, he could be difficult to stop. Clearly one of the strongest contenders in the field.
Bothwell Bridge – 20/1 (📌 bet365)
Ran well in point-to-points but faces a tough challenge against this company. Has shown flashes of ability, but will need to step up considerably to be a factor here. Hard to fancy against stronger rivals.
Lord Du Mesnil – 7/1 (📌 BetVictor)
A capable performer on his day but hasn’t been able to find his best form recently. Last couple of runs suggest he still retains some ability, and if he puts in a big effort, he could challenge for a place. Not without hope.
Verdict
Givega has looked like an exciting prospect and could well extend his winning streak with another strong showing. Gracchus De Balme has also been progressing well and looks the main threat. Rebel Dawn Rising could be a value contender if he finds improvement, while Lord Du Mesnil has an outside chance if everything falls into place. However, Givega has the most convincing profile and is the one to beat.
