3:50 Leicester Tips

Has won at Leicester twice, the most recent effort on soft ground. Consistent performer who has been runner up on his last 2 starts. No surprise if he achieves a third win on a favoured track.

With Sean Bowen booked you have to be interested in this one getting weight from all. Drop in trip will suit as last win was around this trip and though 4lb higher than that win has been dropped a couple of pounds after finishing 4th at Lingfield last time. The third has won since so form might be okay. Was a fair second the time before at Wetherby and with such an eyecatching booking for inform yard I'm going in. Tom Gretton has saddled 3 winners from last 10 sent out since the end of December and should go close here off bottom weight.

Mombasa maintains a rating of 115, although his recent outings have been unremarkable (fourth at Wincanton). His historical speed figures suggest he is much better than his recent form indicates. He carries 11st 10lb. He is trained by the prestigious Venetia Williams, known as the 'Queen of Heavy Ground,' which means he should never be discounted in these conditions. Leicester: he adapts well to demanding gallop courses. If he can regain the form he had two seasons ago, he has the speed to overtake No Tackle in the final stretch.
