Lechuga Lad Leicester 20:50 Tips, Betting and Prediction

Lechuga Lad, a 4-year-old gelding trained by J R Fanshawe, is set to take on the challenging field at Leicester, navigating a distance of 1m 2f on ground described as Good - good to firm in places. Scheduled for a 20:50 start, Lechuga Lad is drawn to start from stall 5, partnered by the seasoned jockey Jim Crowley. With a moderate live price of 5, he's not exactly a banker but holds a value spot for an each-way punt. While his recent form doesn't dazzle, having no wins in the last 180 days across 7 starts, the Fanshawe-Crowley combo might spark a turnaround, especially given Fanshawe's decent hit rate of 17% winners in the last 180 days. Bearwith, another gelding stepping out at Leicester, brings a mix of experience and seasoned guidance under jockey Alistair Rawlinson and trainer H Bethell. At age 7 and carrying the same weight as Lechuga Lad, Bearwith has a live price of 7.5. His recent outings hint at consistency but not brilliance, maintaining a similar form line with no wins in the last 180 days. However, the distance has shown to be within his comfort zone, and with Rawlinson's recent win rate of 12%, there might be a chance for an upset here. Queen's Company, a 6-year-old mare, adds diversity to the field. Trained by Julia & Shelley Birkett and piloted by Dylan Hogan, she'll run from stall 6. Her live price of 5.5 pairs well with a recent win, indicating she might be finding her groove at an opportune moment. With a decent strike rate at this distance and a trainer-jockey combo that delivers 18% winners recently, she could be the dark horse of the race. Watch out for Lechuga Lad, who is predicted to snatch victory today. With Jim Crowley in the saddle, this combination might just have what it takes to cross the line first. Whether you're staking a quid or just cheering from the stands, remember to keep it fun and bet responsibly. Best of luck, punters!
