Ashariba to make light of weight at Leicester

-

Ashariba is taken to defy a big weight in the Follow @Racingtv On Instagram Handicap at Leicester for in-form handler David Menuisier.

She overcame clear signs of greenness to prevail at Yarmouth on her final start as a juvenile and returned to action with a respectabl­e fourth at Goodwood. An Irish Oaks entry may be a touch ambitious for the Ribchester filly but it highlights how she is held in high regard by connection­s.

Archie Watson introduced a smart juvenile for Wathnan Racing with Aesterius last week and Carrados will carry the same colours in the Join Racing TV

Now EBF Novice Stakes. An equally expensive purchase at £360,000 and also by proven sire Mehmas, his dam was unraced but is a halfsister to high-class sprinter Campanelle.

There are some interestin­g newcomers in the Every Race Live On Racing TV EBF Maiden Stakes but Jorge Alvares still appeals with the benefit of a promising debut effort at York behind him.

Kevin Ryan’s gelding got outpaced in the early stages but made eyecatchin­g late progress and finished a fair third behind two useful prospects in Andesite and Yah Mo Be There. Having been sent off at 40-1 that day, the son of Cotai Glory can be expected to come on quite a bit. SELECTIONS
