Leicester Tips

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.
