17:30 (Leicester) Doubletalk

Doubletalk got off the mark in good fashion at Beverley last week and she could be tough to catch around here with conditions ideal under her penalty.

Beaten just three-quarters of a length in second that day, Whatwouldiknow has strong claims to get closer to the selection with a decent pull at the weights and is the obvious danger.

There should be more to come from Salsa Dancer and Brooklyn Express, both of whom are worth monitoring in the market.

18:32 (Leicester) Tierney

Game Breaker is sure to be popular after her opening win at Thirsk last time but that came on soft ground which seemed to suit her well. Back on a sound surface and up 8lb in the ratings, she has questions to answer.

Slight preference is for Tierney, who won really well two starts back but didn't seem to appreciate the softer surface at Newmarket last time.

With firmer conditions on offer this evening, she can resume her progression to get back in the winner's enclosure. Handicap newcomers Heritage House and Invincible Tiger have the potential to do better and both require market checks.

19:02 (Leicester) Alice Knyvet

Alice Knyvet posted her best effort to date when a staying-on second at Bath last month and a similar level of performance off only 1lb higher in the ratings could be good enough here.

Matty Too was recently thwarted in his hat-trick bid when denied by a neck in third at Brighton and may unlock some potential now upped in trip to a mile.

Golden Sands races off a career-high mark but is dangerous to discount if gaining an uncontested lead.

20:02 (Leicester) Star Start

Wide-margin winner Star Start escapes a penalty having won an apprentice handicap at Doncaster on Saturday and is hard to oppose on the quick turnaround.

Metric offered more to work with when staying on into third on her handicap debut at Lingfield earlier in the month and may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Corporate Raider.

The three-year-old often runs to his best ability in small-field affairs and is only 3lb higher than his last triumph in June.

Leicester selections in full:

LEICESTER: 5.30 Doubletalk, 6.02 High Point, 6.32 Tierney, 7.02 Alice Knyvet, 7.32 Movie Star Looks, 8.02 Star Start.
