Coral Racing Ambassador, Jim Crowley, heads to Leicester for five rides on Saturday evening, including the three-year-old Kisskodi who goes in search of back-to-back wins for trainer Harry Eustace.

18:20 Leicester – Halla Bil Zain

Halla Bil Zain made his debut here last month, he ran quite green and finished down the field that day, but I think it may have been an above average maiden. He’s gone well at home since that run, and can be expected to take a big step forward, while hopefully a step up to seven furlongs will help him as things won’t be happening quite as quickly as they did over six.

19:20 Leicester – Kisskodi

This fellow has been a consistent sort and was entitled to win like he did at Brighton last time, but even so he did it very nicely. He has gone up nine pounds for that win which won't make life easy for him here but hopefully he hasn't stopped improving and if he can cope with the weight rise he should have a big chance.

19:50 Leicester – This Time Maybe

Another generally consistent performer, he's run OK since winning on the all-weather earlier this year, although he might still be paying the price for the rise in the weights he incurred for that win. This doesn't look a strong contest, and given his recent form I would hope he has an each-way chance.

20:20 Leicester – Up The Anti

Yet another runner I’m riding for the first time, this three-year-old has been tried over a variety of trips so far. He’s over a mile here, which should suit him, and in what is a trappy little contest, I hope we can be there or thereabouts.

20:50 Leicester – Lechuga Lad

This gelding is still a maiden after seven starts, but his third place finish last time was one of his better efforts, so hopefully he is going the right way now and can build on that here.
