flat racing at Leicester and Wolverhampton

there is also flat racing this afternoon at Leicester and this evening on the all-weather at Wolverhampton, but on the whole very low level sport. The going is heavy at Leicester, where Paintball (Willie Muir/ Martin Dwyer) can make his fitness advantage tell in the 3yo handicap at 16.25 CET. Now that the Michael Jarvis stable has struck form (2 winners yesterday), his Malrasm (Richard Hills) seems the obvious danger.
Franbki Dettori was also in double form yesterday and seems to be chasing winners this season more than in previous years. He has some good chances at Wolverhampton, notably Colonel Sherman for Philip Kirby at 19.20 and Nave for Mark Johnston in the 3yo handIcap half an hour later; consistent Lisahane Bog (Peter Hedger/ Dane O´Neill) is the danger here. Mark Johnston could also be on the mark with bottom-weight Sir Frank Wappat (Joe Fanning) in the other handicap for 3yo´s at 20.50.
