Leicester

Saturday, April 26, 2025FlatClass 26f

A fiercely-competitive sprint in which the suggestion is TRILBY, who proved better than ever as he recorded a cosy success at Beverley last week and Sam England's 5-y-o looks capable of holding his own in this stronger company. Completely Random came home with a rattle to score on his first crack at 5f at Southwell earlier in the month, so he heads up the opposition, with Akkadian Thunder taken to edge out Billyjoh for third.

    Verdict
    4/1, produced a career best to resume winning ways having a first crack at 5f on return from 5 months off in 13-runner handicap at Southwell just under 3 weeks ago, well back early on but coming home with a rattle to score. Back up in trip and remains of interest.

    Verdict
    Four wins from 16 runs last year. Proved better than ever as he recorded a cosy success in 7-runner handicap at Beverley (5f, good to soft, 13/8) 10 days ago, quickening to lead inside final 1f. Can do better still and capable of holding his own in this stronger company.

    Verdict
    C&D winner. Four wins from 7 runs last year. Got back on track when 3¾ lengths fifth of 21 to Strike Red in handicap at York (6f, soft, 12/1) when last seen 6 months ago. May well need some cut in the ground to be seen at his best.

    Verdict
    Fourteen runs since last win in 2024. Shaped as if retaining his ability after 5 months off when eighth of 19 in handicap (12/1) at Doncaster (6f, good) 27 days ago, not ideally placed. Can step up on that here.

    Latest win at York in October. Shaped as if needing the run after 5 months off when sixth of 11 in handicap at Southwell (6.1f, 33/1) just under 3 weeks ago. This will be more revealing.

    Verdict
    Again shaped promisingly when third of 17 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 9/2) 6 months ago. Appeals as just the type to win a big pot in 2025 and looks competitive provided he's ready to roll.

    Verdict
    7/2, respectable fourth of 11 in handicap at Newbury (6f, good) 15 days ago, faring best of those held up. Probably wants another crack at 7f so percentage call is to look elsewhere.
