Leicester

Several runners are possibly open to improvement now handicapping. EBT'S WARRIOR, for connections who have enjoyed success with useful Ebt's Guard, is the suggestion in the retained tongue-tie. Notimetotakeoff, who switches to turf for the first time, is second pick. Banged Up may build on his latest effort and prove best of the runners who already have nursery experience, with two others needing to prove they can back up the form of last-time wins.[Steve Boow]
