3.22 Leicester: Selby’s Pride

The fact that this modest filly has run her best races so far at Hamilton Park makes me think that she’s worth taking a chance with at likely odds on her first run at Leicester.

Tony Coyle’s four-year-old has come down the weights a fair bit this season after a modest start to the campaign but she has run a couple of decent races recently. She has gone back up 2lb for getting beat less than half a length into third at Nottingham last time out but that still puts her 10lb below her last winning mark, so she is clearly well-handicapped.

Selby’s Pride will go on the ground, she is well drawn in stall 2 and - if on a going day - she should be able to just sit off what will be a strong pace and hopefully stay on better than most.

This Irish point winner been very disappointing so far given his enormous price tag, but Jamie Snowden has been very patient with him and the trainer runs him in a chase for the first time under Rules where he surely has an opportunity to make some sort of repayment on his keep.

Regarde is top-weight in this but he has a very modest 94 and comes up against seriously moderate opposition.

Snowden has his team in very good shape at the start of the season, with two winners and two runners up in his last five runners, so it seems very likely that Regarde will be in good shape for this seasonal debut.

There is obviously a story behind this gelding, who cost £350k as a yearling but never appeared on the track and was next seen going to Ian Williams for 10 per cent of that price two years later.

Charencey has been given three quick runs in succession and now runs in a handicap for the first time which is intriguing in itself. His run last time certainly gave the impression that it may have been with a view to handicapping as he was not knocked about at all to finish fourth at Newcastle. He was only 9-2 on that occasion so was clearly thought to have ability, though whether he was likely to show it dropped back to six furlongs seemed questionable given his dam was a seven-furlong winner as a two-year-old.

In a race where only a couple of rivals look to be showing their form, Chancery has every chance to go well over this stiff 7f track.
