It's all rock and roll at Leicester

Hopewell Rock can register his first win of the year in the Kube - Leicester's Premier Event Hire Venue Handicap at Leicester on Tuesday.

George Boughey's charge looked a promising individual last term, winning both of his juvenile outings, but he did not get his three-year-old campaign started until August of this year.

However, he has shown he still retains a good slice of his ability in taking third on his initial start at Newbury before upgrading that effort when second to Devil's Advocate at Doncaster last month.

Beaten half a length on good to soft ground, he just got caught for a bit of pace over 2000m so it makes sense to now try 2400m, with any rain not too concerning.

Lady Lucky Vegas could well appreciate 1200m when she tries handicaps for the first time in the Leicester Racecourse Ideal Self-Hire Wedding Venue Nursery Handicap, with Hopewell Rock's partner Billy Loughnane a good booking for the Dr Richard Newland and Jamie Insole-trained youngster.

Loughnane and Boughey could also be on the mark with Nor Zamin, who is expected to be thereabouts in division one of the British EBF Restricted Maiden Fillies' Stakes on her first outing since a mid-division finish first time at Newbury in June, while the pair are also worth a look in division two through Angelic Rascal.

Fordham Flyer ran a big race in defying odds of 200-1 to finish second at Beverley last month and can hit the bullseye this time in the Leicester Racecourse Ideal Christmas Party Venue Novice Stakes.

That effort on the Westwood was his first for Phil Kirby and in truth he was a bit unfortunate to bump into a reasonable type for the level in the Tom Clover-trained Quantum Power, who had gone close at Ripon the time before. Soft ground would not bother him.

At Brighton, Mashaan could be the solution to the JenningsBet 200 Shops Nationwide Handicap.

Alice Haynes' seven-year-old is without a win on turf in 13 attempts but he has won four of his 40 all-weather outings and has recently shown some aptitude for grass in finishing second at Lingfield last time out.

Beaten just under four lengths that day, he tried to make all and rallied gamely when looking likely to drop away, while he was only narrowly denied on his penultimate run when third in an amateur race at Salisbury.

A mark of 56 remains competitive and perhaps a more restrained run can help his chance at the seaside. - Press Association
