Leicester Race 6 - Leicestershire And Derbyshire Yeomanry Open Hunters' Chase
SNIPE (3) represents a leading yard. Holds plenty of smart rules form in his career including last November producing a good fourth tackling a 4800m premier handicap chase at Ascot. Won a 4200m hunters chase at Hereford two outings ago under rules. Big chance. A JET OF OUR OWN (2) recorded a runner-up effort in this event last year before an excellent fifth in the Aintree Hunters chase tackling national fences last season. Posted a 4200m third behind the main selection contesting the aforementioned Hereford hunters chase during January. With ability to go close rates the main danger. DENSWORTH (1) and CALIDAD (4) might fill third and fourth positions.

Useful type. Last outing finished eighth of 14 runners at Borders P2p on February 8 over 4000m, 36 len behind Bellaney Lord with 73kg. Race before finished eighth of 14 runners at Borders P2p on February 8 over 4000m, 37 len behind Bellaney Lord carrying 73kg. Overlook recent form, more suited here. Ideally placed this time around.

Comes off a 39 day let-up. Last outing came from midfield; finished third in a small field at Hereford on January 26 over 4200m, slow track; 69 len behind Snipe carrying 74kg at $5.50. Before that pulled up at Taunton on January 8 over 4300m. Won't find this easy.

Impressive in recent runs. Last start finished fourth of 7 starters at Taunton on February 12 over 4600m, on a wet track; 39 len behind Golden Son with 74kg at $6. The start before that; raced just off the speed and boxed on; won by 0.8 len Hereford on January 26 over 4200m on rain affected going defeating Stattler with 72kg at $5.50 in a steeplechase. Rates well and can feature in the finish again.
