Leicester Race 1 - Racing Excellence Conditional Jockeys' Training Series Handicap Hurdle
Two-time hurdling winner SNAPIUS (2) finished third of seven on seasonal debut over course and distance last month. Fitter now and a bold bid is anticipated second-up against easier company. AGGAGIO (1) boasts six victories attempting the journey. Two from two in this grade and is nicely treated on figures. Main danger. THANKYOUANDPLEASE (6) improved for third providing his second outing representing the Syd Hosie stable at Plumpton nine-days-ago. Open to further progress. Place chance. ALMEIRINDA (3) is a lightly-raced French mare. Looks interesting on reappearance for the Venetia Williams yard. Warrants a market check.

Useful gelding. Last run finished eighth of 9 starters at Windsor on November 23 over 3200m, 29 len behind Hardy Du Seuil with 66.5kg at $12. Before that finished fourth of 7 runners at Fontwell Park on October 23 over 3830m, 15 len behind Paso Doble with 67.5kg at $7.50. Can do a lot better.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming finished fourth of 7 starters at Fontwell Park on November 7 over 3800m, 35 len behind Grenadier Jed carrying 69.5kg at $26. Second run from a spell made ground from midfield; finished sixth of 10 runners at Kempton Park on November 24 over 3200m, 13 len behind Surrey Lord carrying 71.5kg at $51. Confidence low and needs to do more.
