2:30 Leicester Tips

No comment made

Was a winner two starts back. Failed to back that up last time out but comes here on a good looking mark and the low draw will help.

The Gary & Josh Moore-trained, Harry Redknapp-owned Fascinating Lips was impressive when winning by 4 lengths in a Class 6 Classified Stakes last time out over 10 furlongs at Lingfield on good ground, off a mark of 52 with Ashley Lewis claiming his 7 lbs allowance 8 days ago. Races off just 53 today and with Ash taking off his 7 lbs leaves the 8-year-old gelding well handicapped in this Class 6 company. With conditions that suit, I don't see any reason why he can't run another big race.

Only 2-39 but has slipped to a career-low mark off which he's run well at Brighton and Windsor recently. Needs a bit more but is unlikely to be far away.

Up two furlongs and up 9 points for the latest win. The trip should be ok as he was running away at the finish and that was a stiff enough mile. The weight rise isn't insurmountable and, still in the same class, only carries six pounds more. The other recent winners are much shorter in the betting but don't be surprised to see some strong support later.

Shaped well on stable debut last time and would have a chance from a pound off. Finished with running left last time and is down significantly in grade here. Worth an each way bet.

My Honey B is likely to be suited by the testing finish here at Leicester based on the last race at Newcastle and deserves a good each-way chance here.

Rose Light has been showing promise with consistent runs at this course and distance. She finished a well-backed fourth last time, but it looked like she needed a longer trip. She is back now to her best-suited 12f, which plays to her stamina strengths here. Josephine Gordon teams up again with a solid trainer in A Forbes, and she handles any going. Despite a tricky draw in stall 12, she looks like she has every chance. She could improve with this step up in trip, so she should run well today.

Pending Appeal is a 5-year-old mare trained by Kevin Frost, a stable whose runners are faring well of late, with 7 of his last 9 runners finishing placed. Pending Appeal has looked regressive for the new yard, dropping some 17 lb since joining Frost. However, she did show some resemblance of a revival at Yarmouth on her last start, beaten 3.75 lengths behind one of today's rivals, Nauty Niall, and is 5 lb better off with that rival today. 'In rear but in touch with leaders, not clear run when plenty to do from over 2f out, soon waiting for room, kept on well inside final furlong' - that was a promising run, and off bottom weight and 8 st 11 lb, she could figure today with a clearer passage.

Currently not in the best of form and yet to win. He has a lot of work to do after LTO when 13 of 13 at Windsor back in June of this year, but I think he performs better on turf. Also, he has experience over C&D and is now running off the lowest career mark with a 7lb claimer, so the current price on offer is too tempting to not chance.
