Ashariba has plenty to recommend at Leicester

May 2024

Ashariba is taken to defy a big weight in the Follow @RacingTV On Instagram Handicap on Tuesday at Leicester for in-form handler David Menuisier.

She overcame clear signs of greenness to prevail at Yarmouth on her final start as a juvenile and returned to action with a respectable fourth at Goodwood, when looking in need of the run.

An Irish Oaks entry may be a touch ambitious for the Ribchester filly but it highlights how she is held in high regard by connections.

Archie Watson introduced a smart juvenile for Wathnan Racing with Aesterius last week and Carrados will carry the same colours in the Join Racing TV Now EBF Novice Stakes.

An equally expensive purchase at £360,000 and also by proven sire Mehmas, his dam was unraced but is a half-sister to high-class sprinter Campanelle and has already produced a nice type in New Hill.

There are some interesting newcomers in the Every Race Live On Racing TV EBF Maiden Stakes but Jorge Alvares still appeals with the benefit of a promising debut effort at York behind him.

Kevin Ryan's gelding got outpaced in the early stages but made eyecatching late progress once the penny dropped and finished a fair third behind two useful prospects in Andesite and Yah Mo Be There.

Having been sent off at 40-1 that day, the son of Cotai Glory can be expected to come on quite a bit for the experience.

Jacquelina bids to complete a quick hat-trick in the Download The Raceday Ready App Handicap at Brighton.

Phil McEntee's mare has not had much to spare in narrow victories at Windsor and this course so far this month but has clearly got the taste for success and is worth keeping on side.

The seaside track's Get The Inside Track With raceday-ready.com Handicap can go to Gary and Josh Moore's gelding Fierce.

The four-year-old raced too keenly early on when a beaten favourite at Windsor following a break of 236 days but will hopefully have blown away any cobwebs there and should settle better here.

At Redcar, Unique Spirit is bred to appreciate a step up in trip for the Watch Irish Racing On Racing TV Restricted Maiden Stakes after recovering from a slow start to finish second at Haydock first time out.

Loveable Rogue appeals in the Download The Racecourse App Raceday Ready Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes at Lingfield after a promising first spin for new trainer James Owen.

The daughter of Sea The Stars showed a good attitude when giving market leader Pratigya a decent workout at Wolverhampton.

Over the jumps at Bangor, Valgrand gets the nod to make it two out of two over timber in the Minimum £50,000 Tote Placepot Everyday Novices' Hurdle.

Dan Skelton's charge showed plenty of promise in bumpers, including when fourth in Grade Two company at Aintree, and justified his short odds when coming home in front over obstacles at Uttoxeter earlier this month.

Flaming Ambition landed a gamble when returning from a lengthy absence to oblige at Uttoxeter and a 4lb rise up the ratings does not look harsh ahead of the Camden Stout Novices' Limited Handicap Chase. - Press Association
