Leicester and Huntingdon (N.H.)

After the abandonment of today´s Newcastle fixture (track partly waterlogged after heavy weekend rain), there are only two meetings today in the U.K. Main event at Leicester is the conditions race for fillies over a mile at 17.40 CET. After Godolphin won a similar race yesterday, they can follow up here with Long Lashes (Saeed bin Suroor/ Frankie Dettori), who has not really run up to expectations in group races but faces a much simpler task now. German-bred Personified won a Wolverhampton maiden last time, but the daughter of Proudeyes takes a huge leap in class here, and Decorative (Michael Jarvis/ Philip Robinson) and Super Sleuth (Brian Meehan/ Kieren Fallon) look more dangerous. Frankie also rides the debutante Estourah for the same stable in the 2yo fillies maiden half an hour later, bur reports suggest that Sir Michael Stoute´s Sea Moon (Ryan Moore) represents a live threat. The two divisions of the other 2yo maiden, at 16.10 and 16.40, with several well-bred but light ly-raced or unraced runners from the big stables, should also be very informative, but are hardly good betting races. On the other hand, Barney Curley´s ex-German Agapanthus (Tom Queally) looks an interesting bet in the 10 furlongs handicap at 18.40.

They go over jumps at Huntingdon, and Nigel Twiston-Davies, who has made his usual strong start to the season, once again looks the trainer to follow. He can take the main feature, a novice chase at 16.50 with Swincomb Rock (Paddy Brennan), who was an easy winner on his first start for the stable (previously with the Alners) at Perth recently, and also has some other good chances, notably with Thai Vango (Brennan) in the 3 1/4 mile hurdle race at 16.20 and Corredor Sun (with son Sam) in the novices handicap chase at 15.50.
