Leicester Tips: Favourite Royal

Leicester Tips: Favourite Royal

Fastest closer by 0.47s last time out and unlucky second when not getting a clear run. Very well handicapped.

Favourite Royal was desperately unlucky to finish second on her season reappearance at Wolverhampton and anything remotely similar should see her go close in the 4.40 Leicester.

Held up behind a steady pace (107.2% finishing speed), she was in the wrong position as the race developed into a sprint for the line. Robert Winston and to wait for a gap and when in the clear the pair took off.


Favourite Royal covered the final 2f in 22.46s, the fastest in the race by 0.47s and the 31st fastest at the track from the last 9076 runners.

Although runner-up, she was the best horse in the race and earned an excellent adjusted speed rating of 91. In the 4.40 Leicester, she races off a mark of 74 and Robert Winston can make amends for the mishap of ten days ago.
