LLEYTON is the 4/1 race favourite as we take a look at some hurdles action next in our UK racing odds & tips preview* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 9th August 2020).

He is nicely positioned in the weights and on a recent debut for his new year he collected a very good second place behind Collodi (who is re-opposed here) at Market Rasen.

Lleyton is up 4lbs for this trip, after looking a much-improved hurdler last time out, and claims a nice 7lb for jockey William Shanahan.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

CALVINIST collected a third place on his last effort to power back into form on his return. That was his best effort so far over the hurdles and was 18 days ago at Uttoxeter, so he is going to be sharp.

Calvinsit does go up 2lb and will retain the cheek pieces and will likely be going well on the trip after coming down 4f from his last effort.

COLLODI is an interesting entry here having scored back to back success. He returned this season with back to back wins over the hurdles.

On his last effort though, he was out on the flat at Yarmouth and had a really poor run. If that can be excused, he should pique plenty of interest back over the hurdles.

Race Favourite

The race favourite for this Leicester trip on Monday is FURQUAAN at 10/3* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 9th August 2020).

She brings form with her after scoring on a mile trip at Windsor three weeks ago.

She comes up 4lb for that effort, but is still very nicely situated in the weights and is likely to put together a good strong run.

That score at Windsor was her first on turf and was after having fallen down the weights a fair bit. But she looks a main player here.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

DARGEL made a good bold effort on his last run. That was a mile trip at Newbury three weeks ago. Because he is staying at the same mark, then he has to have strong claims in this run.

Dargel was only half a furlong back of the winner in that Newbury trip, so the gelding is well worth keeping on side.

MADAME TANTZY is the other that we will look for in this race. She has been producing very steady form since her return to action this year.

Last time out she rattled the crossbar with a second place finish at Newmarket just over two weeks ago. She will have strong claims based on that bold run.

Race Favourite

LINCOLN PARK is the 10/3 favourite for the Supporting Chester FC, Our Club Handicap on Monday* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 9th August 2020). He has put together a solid season, with a top-five finish in all four trips.

He has Silvestre De Sousa taking the ride so he does have big claims in this one. Chester is a course that Lincoln Park enjoys as he is a previous course and distance winner, which should raise his stock further. It’s a big field, but Lincoln Park is one for the shortlist.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

TRUE BLUE MOON will have a shot in this one with trainer Tim Easterby in good shape at the moment. Last time out True Blue Moon was on a York run at 1lb higher and put an excellent run together.

So he is clearly on a good mark at the moment after a third-place finish on what was his best run for new connections so far.

GABRIAL THE SAINT has some appeal in this fixture as well after a good fourth place at Haydock.

The trip is right in his wheelhouse and while he is looking for just the second win of his career, Gabriel The Saint does look to be in a position of being able to mount a stiff challenge on Monday.

Race Favourite

This is going to be a good sprint at Chester (Race 5) and we have joint favourites in MAJOR JUMBO and JUDICIAL at 11/4* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 9th August 2020). So let’s break it down.

MAJOR JUMBO is a very good, consistent sprinter and he was last seen in a York Listed race. He settled for 6th in the race but wasn’t far away.

The big benefit is that he is 3lb down now from that effort. Further claims come from him having won this race a year ago.

JUDICIAL has continued with his very good form. He is right on his game at the moment. His last run was at the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury where he went well to claim 4th of 12.

He is a previous winner at Chester as well. Judicial will be taking on a 5lb rise but demands respect.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

EMARAATY ANA has big appeal in this one as well. On his return to action he was third in the Abernant Stakes at Newmarket.

That was the best run of his career so far. The winner of that race has gone on to subsequent success, boosting the form of the colt. He could be a big player.

The unexposed DARK PURSUIT has some appeal as well. He is with a new yard for this one and his last run saw him score a success.

That was a Group 3 6f Dukhan Sprint success at Doha. That’s two wins from three racetrack appearances so far and doesn’t make a bad option to keep on side for this contest.

Race Favourite

The race favourite for this handicap is DESERT ICON at 11/4* (betting odds taken from William Hill at 23:37 GMT on Sunday, 9th August 2020).

He went well and finished above some of those he re-opposes on Monday, in the recent John Smith’s Cup.

That was when he took a 7th place finish from a big field of 22. He finished last season on some great form and has taken up very gamely as well in this campaign.

Desert Icon is actually a couple of 2lb down from that run at York so warrants some big respect.

UK Racing Odds & Tips

SKY DEFENDER should be a big contender in this fixture. He got back to form on his last run when he claimed second in a Glorious Goodwood effort a couple of weeks ago.

He was in that John Smith’s Cup at York and had a poor run. But that can be excused with very strong overall efforts this campaign.

We are going to also take a look at PALAVECINO who has secured a hat trick this season. But he was then out at the Old Newton Cup at Haydock on his last run and was far too eager to get into things.

Still, given what he has produced this season he has to go down on the shortlist for this handicap.
