Leicester Race 3 - British Ebf 'Confined' Expotile Novice Stakes (Div 2)
MAGIC HARRY (3) finished 3.5L third over 1200m at Pontefract on racecourse debut when racing prominently before keeping on at one pace. That encouraging introduction gives him leading claims. PALACE LEGACY (6) was beaten 6.5L when eighth across 1400m at Sandown on latest appearance but had previously managed third by 1.8L at Epsom contesting the same trip. Main danger if recapturing that promise. MUHANDES (4) makes his first appearance as a Showcasing gelding out of the Postponed mare Almohandesah. Boasts interesting credentials and makes appeal. STERLING COOPER (9) is an unraced Advertise colt from the Iffraaj mare Cet Horizon. Potential first time out means he is not discounted.

Was at long odds at debut, ran second last of 11 at Wolverhampton on August 26 over 1200m, 21 len behind My Maria with 57.5kg at $29. Doubt he will play a substantial role.

First-starter by Advertise out of Cet Horizon. Tough to line up. Should kick off on the right note.
