17:30 Leicester – Every Race Live On Racing TV Handicap (Class 6)

Runner Comments:

• CURRAHEE: Proven. Showed significant improvement on stable debut when making all over 7f at Leicester. Adjusted TFR of 69 and a strong time figure (70) highlight the merit of his last performance. His front-running style is suited to today’s likely even gallop, and he’s shown tactical versatility from stall 8. Despite a 6lb penalty, he has previously shaped as though he will stay a mile well.

• LAMBOURNGHINI: Progressive. Chasing a hat-trick after back-to-back wins at Chepstow and Brighton over similar trips on good ground. Her prominent running style matches the course and race shape. Adjusted ratings of 63 and 64 suggest she still holds some upside off her current mark (OR 51). She is in form, fit, and well-placed in stall 4.

• PRETTY SPIRITED: Consistent/Proven. Dropping back in trip should suit her based on prior efforts. From stall 3, she can sit midfield and pounce, though she can be slowly away. Her adjusted rating of 67 gives her a legitimate frame chance if the race unfolds favourably. She carries a hold-up risk.

• DESERT CHARM: Promising. A winner over a mile at Yarmouth two starts ago and potentially better than her latest Lingfield effort suggests. Her typical style is off the pace, meaning she will need a clean run; she could stay on into the mix if the pace is stronger than forecast. She also carries a hold-up risk.

• UNKNOWN JOURNEY: A step back up to a mile should help this runner, with stamina now tested under ideal conditions.

• CAPRICORN KING: Faces a long absence and a stable switch, making him a potential runner but hard to trust on his first run back.

• JIMMY HENRY: Has an exposed profile and has posted moderate figures.

• PLATINUM BABE: Requires more improvement based on limited evidence.

• LADY MONROE: Has been uncompetitive so far in her career.

Private Tissue Odds:

• Currahee: 2/1

• Lambournghini: 3/1

• Pretty Spirited: 6/1

• Desert Charm: 7/1

• Unknown Journey: 8/1

• Capricorn King: 14/1

• Jimmy Henry: 16/1

• Platinum Babe: 20/1

• Lady Monroe: 66/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: CURRAHEE

• Each-Way Saver: PRETTY SPIRITED

• Reasoning: Both Currahee and Pretty Spirited bring proven recent form and are tactically adaptable for what should be a fairly run race. Currahee has posted the best recent figure and is unexposed at the mile trip. Pretty Spirited is considered a value each-way option if things fall right late.

18:00 Leicester – British EBF Maiden Stakes (Class 5)

Runner Comments:

• IN THE CITY: Proven. He is solid and consistent, with an adjusted rating of 83 that sets the standard on form. He was narrowly beaten by a neck at Nottingham and brings race-fitness and a clear speed profile over 5f. However, as a hold-up horse, today’s slower gallop may expose a vulnerability unless an unexpected pace emerges.

• STAR OF MALI (IRE): Promising. Finished third behind In The City on debut at Nottingham. He shaped well under pressure, and his final sectionals were notably efficient, suggesting he conserved early energy. With expected improvement and a potential for a better early position from stall 3, he could reverse form with In The City in a tactical race.

• OUR PLANET (IRE): Progressive. Hasn’t fully built on earlier promise but has shaped respectably in small-field contests. Racing off an 81 adjusted rating suggests he is competitive, but his patient running style may hinder him if there’s no pace collapse.

• HARRY ROCKET: Unexposed newcomer. By Harry Angel, he is closely related to high-grade 6–7f performers. While his yard is not typically known for debut winners, he is bred to be sharp and could demonstrate more tactical speed than the market anticipates.

• DONALD: Shows pace on pedigree and sectionals, but there is no race evidence yet, suggesting he is likely to be used as a pace angle.

• KAMBERLEIGH: Offers limited appeal based on trainer profiles and pedigrees. He is unlikely on debut given an unremarkable yard profile.

• HAVANA MISS: Shows no visible form and may need further distance or more time to develop.

Private Tissue Odds:

• In The City: 2/1

• Star of Mali: 9/4

• Our Planet: 7/2

• Harry Rocket: 12/1

• Donald: 16/1

• Kamberleigh: 33/1

• Havana Miss: 40/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: STAR OF MALI (IRE)

• Reasoning: Star of Mali possesses strong breeding, demonstrated an efficient debut effort, and is well-positioned to reverse placings with In The City in what is expected to be a tactical affair. Although In The City holds the class, the weak pace setup could blunt his closing kick. (No each-way play is applicable due to the field size of 7 runners).

18:30 Leicester – Join Racing TV Today Fillies’ Handicap (Class 5)

Runner Comments:

• SOLAR PASS: Progressive. This Andrew Balding-trained filly showed clear progression when second at Windsor, achieving an adjusted rating of 85. She travelled well and finished strongly, suggesting the increased distance will be beneficial. Her tactical pace is an asset given the race setup, and she is still lightly raced with potential for further improvement.

• WORD OF MOUTH: Progressive. Was runner-up at Hamilton in a small field, bringing solid form. However, she is reliant on a strong gallop to perform at her best; with a projected modest pace, she may need luck or an aggressive early ride. She remains a major player if the pace collapses late. This runner carries a hold-up risk.

• REQUISITE (IRE): Promising. Debuts in handicaps for Ralph Beckett off a mark of 75. She showed promise in maidens, shaping better than the bare result at Salisbury. With a prominent racing style and favourable trainer statistics with handicap debutants (17% strike rate), she is likely to run well.

• PERCY’S DAYDREAM: Proven. She is a consistent and game performer. Her narrow defeat at Haydock confirmed her competitiveness, and she holds her form well and stays the trip effectively.

• BETTY BASSETT (IRE): Progressive. A strong winner at Wetherby and has not been disgraced since. With prominent tactics and room for improvement, she is a potential each-way player, especially considering her suitability to the pace makeup and tactical draw.

• AIMING HIGH: Is competitive but her tactical style puts her at risk and she appears to be exposed. This runner also carries a hold-up risk.

• TIMELESS CHARM (IRE): Requires more improvement based on her recent form to feature prominently.

• CYNTHIA (IRE): Although lightly raced, she has not hinted at near-term progression.

Private Tissue Odds:

• Solar Pass: 3/1

• Word of Mouth: 4/1

• Requisite: 5/1

• Percy’s Daydream: 11/2

• Betty Bassett: 6/1

• Aiming High: 10/1

• Timeless Charm: 14/1

• Cynthia: 25/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: SOLAR PASS

• Each-Way Saver: BETTY BASSETT

• Reasoning: Solar Pass has leading claims based on both recent form and positional sense, making her the most solid profile for this setup. Betty Bassett is tactically suited and on an upward curve, making her a value proposition if a price of 7/1 or more is available. Requisite is also noted as a danger on her handicap debut from a strong yard.

——————————————————————————–

19:00 Leicester – Family Sunday 10th August Book Now Handicap (Class 6)

Runner Comments:

• SANSANETTI (IRE): Progressive. She has been transformed since stepping up to middle distances, winning both handicap starts, including her latest over the course and distance 18 days ago. She is tactically versatile, having tracked a strong pace last time and found plenty. The form of that race has held up, and she appears to have more to come off her current mark. Her running style is suited by the strong gallop expected.

• ORCHESTRAL WAVE: Proven. Brings recent strong form, finishing a clear second at Redcar just three days ago. He is holding form well and handles a strong gallop. However, his usual running style (wide and early move) may leave him vulnerable late if they go too quickly, and this is his third run in 17 days. The strong pace forecast might disadvantage him.

• FREE PIC (IRE): Improving. Rated 47, but ran a career-best last time (second at Thirsk) and looked suited by a stronger pace. While stepping up in trip, he shaped as though this distance could suit. He is expected to benefit from a strong gallop.

• CLIPSHAM NOBLE (IRE): Unexposed. Was held last time after being heavily backed but could benefit from this stronger tempo. His stamina is likely to be an asset. He could be well-served by the strong pace.

• GARIBALDI MEMORY (IRE): Inconsistent. Flashed promise with a close second at Leicester in June but flopped next time. Not without a chance if he can bounce back.

• TONAL (FR): Back Class, Blinkered. Now below his last winning mark, he gets a good draw, with a likely pace collapse suiting his deeper finishing style. He could surprise if he returns to suitable trip and conditions.

• PRINCESS QAJAR: Holds minor place claims based on past efforts.

• JACK ANDREA: Holds some form but is not progressive.

• PACIFIC MAN (FR): Needs to build on one piece of modest promise.

• LA TRINITE: Her form has dipped, making her an opposable runner.

• SHOP LOCAL (IRE): Shows no recent form, and her yard is not noted for causing upsets.

Private Tissue Odds:

• Sansanetti: 3/1

• Orchestral Wave: 9/2

• Free Pic: 6/1

• Clipsham Noble: 13/2

• Garibaldi Memory: 10/1

• Tonal: 12/1

• Princess Qajar: 14/1

• Jack Andrea: 16/1

• Pacific Man: 20/1

• La Trinite: 25/1

• Shop Local: 50/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: SANSANETTI

• Each-Way Saver: FREE PIC

• Reasoning: This 1m 2f handicap is expected to be run at a solid pace, which should favour Sansanetti, who is gunning for a hat-trick and arrives with momentum and course experience. Free Pic appeals each-way as a staying-on type who recently posted a personal best. Both runners are on the right trajectory, and their running styles are well-suited to the race dynamics.

19:33 Leicester – British Stallion Studs EBF Fillies’ Handicap (Class 4)

Runner Comments:

• JETTIE’S RUN (IRE): Has been declared a Non-Runner (NR).

• HANDLE WITH CARE: Progressive. She is well-suited to this trip and has shown consistent form all season. Her fourth-place finish at Newmarket last time was a solid effort in a better race. She possesses tactical versatility, finishes her races well, and her time figures and finishing speeds suggest further improvement is possible off her current mark.

• TAYGAR (IRE): Proven. She has had a productive season, including a solid fourth at Hamilton just five days after winning at Ayr. While she may lack the upside of some of the 3-year-olds, she is rock solid and tactically uncomplicated. However, her hold-up style has occasionally left her with too much to do, and she typically comes late, requiring cover.

• SWISS LIGHTNING: Promising. This lightly-raced filly from a powerful yard won her maiden at Newmarket but has not yet delivered in handicaps. Her 7f efforts suggest 6f is worth another try, but she needs to settle better to finish her race strongly. Like Taygar, she typically comes late and requires cover.

• GLAMOUR SHOW: Proven. She is effective and consistent at this level. Her effort at Newmarket was decent, and her form lines hold up well. She is a reliable type, though perhaps a bit exposed.

• MAE AMOR (IRE): Capable. While tailed off at Chepstow last time, she has shown ability in competitive northern handicaps. She is suited by fast ground, retains her visor, and has place claims if she bounces back to form. She may also sneak into the frame if the race collapses late or becomes overly tactical.

• LADY WINGALONG (IRE): Veteran, Competitive. Although not on a winning mark, she has posted multiple solid efforts at Class 5/6 levels. She is likely to go forward from stall 1 and could cling on for a place if she gets soft early fractions. She may also sneak into the frame if the race collapses late or becomes overly tactical.

• ANNSAR: Her form has dipped after showing early promise.

Private Tissue Odds:

• Handle With Care: 3/1

• Taygar: 4/1

• Swiss Lightning: 5/1

• Glamour Show: 11/2

• Mae Amor: 7/1

• Lady Wingalong: 10/1

• Annsar: 12/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: HANDLE WITH CARE

• Cover/Danger: TAYGAR

• Reasoning: This is a tight sprint handicap, but the setup looks ideal for Handle With Care, who has been consistently delivering on the clock and form, and retains untapped upside off this mark. Taygar is the obvious danger from a stable that effectively targets single-meeting runners. Their race styles complement today’s expected pace, and both are match-fit and tactically suited. (No formal each-way angles apply due to the field size of 7 runners).

20:08 Leicester – KUBE – Leicester’s Premier Exhibition Venue Handicap (Class 6)

Runner Comments:

• TOOTA (IRE): Promising. She has been knocking on the door with three second-place finishes in her last four starts and is holding form well. While often slowly away, she is consistent and sees her races out strongly. The drop back to 6f might pose a tactical issue given the predicted weak pace, potentially requiring luck with positioning. However, she has been running to a solid 78+ adjusted level and remains unexposed. She is one of the likelier types if the pace is quicker than expected. A steady pace should work against her.

• ROYAL ACCORD: Proven. He has secured three wins in 2025 across distances from 5f to 7f, marking him as adaptable and effective at this level. He typically races prominently and benefits from the weak pace scenario. His latest fifth at Brighton was solid, and while more exposed than some, he holds his form better than most in this lineup. A steady pace should work to his advantage.

• MOBY QUICK: Progressive. A hard-pulling sort but consistent, having placed three times this season, including a solid second at Doncaster. He didn’t get the clearest run at Newbury last time and has valid excuses. He may appreciate this weaker pace if able to settle, and the cheekpieces could help his focus. He is fit, genuine, and well-suited to the conditions. A steady pace should work to his advantage.

• EMPORESS (IRE): Interesting Outsider. Has been below form this season after switching yards but possesses past course form (placed here in 2024 on soft ground). She may bounce back under a more patient ride and carries significant back class. The weak pace should suit her midpack running style better than her last setup.

• CRISTALINO (IRE): Lightly Raced, Promising. She has been off for 154 days, so her fitness is best watched. However, she traded short in-running on her seasonal return when she didn’t get a clear run. She represents a yard capable of readying a horse after a break, making her worth a market check.

• MAPLEDURHAM (IRE): Is out of sorts, and her profile has regressed.

• WILD EMBERS (IRE): Shows limited form, making it hard to see her featuring.

• MY MATE BEATTIE (IRE): Is down in class, but remains inconsistent and is often outpaced.

• MELISSA HONEY: Has moderate form, her trainer is quiet, and there’s limited evidence of upside.

• RUMBA BAY: Is honest and running consistently, though she usually lacks a strong finishing kick.

Private Tissue Odds:

• Royal Accord: 3/1

• Toota: 4/1

• Moby Quick: 5/1

• Rumba Bay: 7/1

• Cristalino: 8/1

• Emporess: 10/1

• Others: 12/1+

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: ROYAL ACCORD

• Each-Way Saver: MOBY QUICK

• Reasoning: This tightly matched 0-65 sprint handicap is largely influenced by its weak pace forecast, which points favourably to Royal Accord and Moby Quick. Royal Accord is versatile, race-fit, and best positioned tactically. Moby Quick is progressive, suited by the pace, and worth chancing in cheekpieces. Hold-up horses like Toota may struggle unless ridden aggressively.

20:40 Leicester – Leicester Racecourse Ideal Self-Hire Wedding Venue Handicap (Class 4)

Runner Comments:

• ROGUE INVADER (IRE): Has been declared a Non-Runner (NR).

• WATCH AND SHOOT (IRE): Progressive – Horse in Focus. He was unlucky not to finish closer on his handicap debut at Windsor, where he encountered trouble multiple times but finished well. His prior maiden win suggested significant ability, and his closing sectionals were strong even when the pace was against him. He looks well-treated off a mark of 79, and the 7f trip may be his optimum. His yard is in red-hot form, and his jockey has strong statistics on favourites. He is also favoured by the strong pace expected.

• ARRAN (IRE): Promising. This lightly-raced colt has only had four starts. He showed promise returning from a long layoff and a breathing operation when third at Windsor. He shaped as if he needed that run and should be sharper here. He stays 6f well, and this stiffer 7f should suit. He still possesses upside.

• LORD ROXBY (IRE): Proven. A busy campaigner with three wins this season, demonstrating adaptability across 5f–7f. He was slightly below his best in his last two runs but is well-handicapped on peak RPRs. He is consistent but not obviously progressive and can sit just off the pace to keep grinding. He is also favoured by the strong pace expected.

• EXCELLENT ECHO: Interesting Outsider. He appears to need cut in the ground and shaped well at Chepstow over a similar trip. He has delivered some solid efforts this season, including a third on soft ground and a strong performance at Epsom. While not a superstar, he brings consistent form and should benefit from a decent gallop.

• CHILLY BREEZE: This is his second start back from a long layoff, and he was well held last time. He has bits of backform but needs to prove he has trained on, and a big leap is required.

• APACHE GREEN: This is also his second start back from a long layoff, and he was well held last time. He has suspect form and profile, his trainer is quiet, and a big leap is required.

Private Tissue Odds:

• Watch And Shoot: 9/4

• Arran: 4/1

• Lord Roxby: 5/1

• Excellent Echo: 7/1

• Chilly Breeze: 14/1

• Apache Green: 20/1

ChatGPT Smart Plays:

• Win: WATCH AND SHOOT

• Saver: ARRAN

• Reasoning: This small-field 7f handicap is ripe for a progressive improver to assert themselves. Watch And Shoot is the likeliest candidate, having run out of luck at Windsor last time and being entitled to improve on that effort. Arran brings upside and should come on significantly from his recent reappearance following a breathing operation. (No each-way angles are applicable due to the field size of only six runners).
