2:02 Leicester Tips

Has had a major revival since joining this stable, winning four of its last five outings and was runner-up in the other. Will relish the soft/heavy conditions and is the one they all have to beat.

Jipcot started chasing as a four-year-old in France nearly three years ago but fell in his first chase. Jumping errors have cost him a few times since then. He became a decent hurdler, winning at Listed level in France and handicap hurdles at Huntingdon and Newbury in 2024. His first chase this season at Ayr saw him fade into third, beaten six lengths, but his first chase win could come shortly with a clear round.

No Tackle is a course-and-distance winner. He won at Lingfield in November and last time was second here in December. Well suited by this course, and there is plenty of confidence in the market.

Won a conditionals race over 3 miles under today's jockey at Warwick on New Year's Eve. Up four pounds as a consequence of that success but Tom Broughton can claim 5 pounds here, so Happy And Fine is effectively a pound lower than that recent win.

Landen Calling is a four-time winner, but the last victory was over two years ago. He has never been disgraced in only three runs since then. He is returning after nearly a 14-month break, and the cheekpieces applied for the first time may help him return to winning form, I believe.
