How to get the best tips at Leicester

Leicester is slightly undulating but has a long straight and is a track where the top Newmarket stables like to send some of their better maidens looking for racecourse experience without having a long journey in the horsebox.

On the jumping scene, the fences are not easy, particularly on heavier ground, so look for well-balanced horses whose jumping is sound. Be wary of keen horses on soft ground, as they may struggle to get home.

Leicester Draw Bias

✅ If you want the most profitable stall at Leicester, then you need to look at races over 7f and focus on stall 1, as this has produced an LSP of +52.25 over the last five years.

❌ When breaking Leicester down into trips, you can look at which stall and trip combination has produced the worst LSP. That would be stall 6 over a trip of 7f, which has, over the last five years, produced an LSP of -78.57.

Here we have the draw bias for Leicester taken into consideration in races with ten or more runners. We will break down the figures by race trips. Draws can be much more important in shorter trips, where runners do not have time to find their position during the race, meaning the draw is probably more important than in races over longer distances.

• Sprints (5f to 7½f)
• Mile (1m to 1m1½f)
• Middle Distance (1m2f to 1m5½f)

The following table shows a breakdown of a group of trips and shows how each position of the draw does, for example, in a twelve-runner race would be Low (Stalls 1-4), Mid (Stalls 5-8) and High (Stalls 9-12). The positions will always be the lowest stall number to the highest.
