Catterick, Folkestone and Leicester

Only very average racing at three flat race meetings in Britain, with the best sport coming from Leicester, where the class 2 handicap for 3y s over 1 1/2 miles at 17.,10 CET looks wide open, with almost every runner in with a chance. Trainer Michael Jarvis and his stable jockey Philip Robinson are in great form and their Torpichen, slightly unlucky last time, could start favourite, but they face strong opposition from such as Kingdom of Fife (Sir Michael Stoute/ Ryan Moore), Times Vital (Eoghan O´Neill/ Chris Catlin), Kossack (Luca Cumani/ Jamie Spencer) and King o´the Gypsies (Roger Charlton/ Frankie Dettori). There are only 5 runners in the 3yo race over 10 furlongs at 16.10, this looks quite a tricky contest but Mark Johnston´s Alcalde (Royston Ffrench) is bred to get this trip and can possibly maintain his unbeaten record.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Burgundy Ice - Phillipina - West With The Wind
2.Race: Prince Golan - Flying Flute - Glencal
3.Race: Alcalde - Heliodor - Le Grand Amour
4.Race: Dancing Marabout - Near The Front - Dazzling Begum
