3:02 Leicester Tips

Arrives in good form, having won twice and finished 2nd once from the last 3 outings. Raised 10 lbs but holds every chance if continuing in the same form.

Razzle Dazzle Boy only had three runs last year. In March he was second in a C4 and was okay on his return in October. He was a close second when last out in December on good to soft ground, and he could still improve despite being up 3 lbs. His only win was on soft, which could be handy with today's expected going.

She relishes softer ground, having shown this with a win on the flat in France and a win at this track on her hurdles debut. She has since struggled due to a significant rise in class and faster ground, but should run well today, especially as she was well fancied in a Listed race at just 3/1.

Ran a not-too-bad 4th of 9 last time out in the same-as-today class. Plugging on the same pace at the finish of 2m 3f 203yds. Had run a good 2nd of 11 the run before last over 2m 3f 189yds. Interesting today, dropped in trip to 1m 7f 113yds, but that extra stamina will come in handy on the forecast heavy (soft in places) ground. Has been given a refreshing 48-day break since that last run, and T. Broughton retains the ride.

Finished 3rd on UK debut last time out, but it is interesting to note that the majority of wins in France came on heavy going. Today's conditions could be ideal for this one at a decent price.

Ilot de Lisle won two in France on soft and heavy ground and looked impressive. He was off for over two years before having his first run for the new yard, then had another break before his run in November. He went well for a long way that day before being pulled up over 3m (didn't stay) and was jumping right. Today's track will suit better. The drop back in trip looks a positive move, and he goes well on heavy ground. He has had wind surgery since his last run and cheekpieces go on. Signs are they will have a proper go with him today.
