Leicester Race 7 - Kube - Leicester's Premier Event Hire Venue Handicap (Gbbplus Race)
HOPEWELL ROCK (5) looks ready to strike after a narrow second over 2040m at Doncaster beaten 0.5L racing on the speed. Holding strong form and finds a winnable contest. SOVEREIGN SEA (1) also finished 0.8L runner-up tackling 2040m at Doncaster last start. Continues to improve and the step up in trip appears ideal. Warrants serious consideration. WARRANT HOLDER (10) returned from a spell with a close second attempting 2000m at Newmarket after racing prominently. Takes a slight rise in class but strips fitter. Capable of being in the mix. Major player. FOREST GATE (8) resumed with a solid third in a 2000m contest at Newbury defeated 5L. Expected to provide more second-up progressing from that effort. Something for the Multiples: SPINNING WHEEL (6)
