Market Rasen off, Leicester on

today´s fixture at Market Rasen has been abandoned as the track is waterlogged in places following the heavy rain and snow of the past few days, but racing at Leicester goes ahead. The best betting race on the card is the handicap chase at 15.10 CET with 11 runners. Course specialist Desert Secrets (Johnny Portman/ Gerald Tumelty) won well last time out, but faces stiff opposition from Mark Rimell´s Ours (Aidan Coleman), going for a hat-trick, and last-time-out winner Pacco, from the in-form combination of Oliver Sherwood and Dominic Elsworth. Sherwood and Elsworth can also go close with Brandage in the 2 mile novice hurdle half an hour later, who shaped like a certain future winner last time, but the same can be said of Night Cru (Jonjo O´Neill/ Noel Fehily) and Latanier (Venetia Williams/ Aidan Coleman), and this looks quite a tricky event.

Betting forecast:
1.Race: Mvuto - Amouretta - Sherbet Lemon
2.Race: A Double Ewe Bee - Milton Des Bieffes - Ayurveda
3.Race: Pacco - Desert Secrets - High Jack
4.Race: Bugsy`S Boy - Night Cru - Latanier
5.Race: Mutual Respect - Phoudamour - Minella Four Star
6.Race: Cordier - Caulkleys Bank - High Life
