Leicester Race 1 - Betting And Gaming Council Novices' Limited Handicap Chase (Gbb Race)
FOLLOWCATO (1) arrives in excellent form. Seeks a four-timer after an easy 24L victory in a 4200m soft ground novices handicap chase at Hereford six weeks ago. Finds a perfect opportunity to continue the winning streak. Looks hard to beat. MAJOR FORTUNE (2) represents a leading yard. Started 2026 in strong form with a 3L success tackling a 5000m novices handicap chase at Wincanton preceding a 4.75L second in a 4600m handicap chase at Newbury last month. This is easier while finished second in this race last year. Main danger. TAITA HILLS (3) provides third fences outing and open to further progress might fill third spot.

Useful gelding. Freshened for 39 days. Last start won by 24 len Hereford on January 26 over 4200m slow track defeating Hurricane Highway carrying 73.5kg at $3.50 in a steeplechase. Start before won by 3.5 len Exeter on January 9 over 3800m defeating Denemethy carrying 71kg at $9.50 in a steeplechase. Sure to improve again. Can add to the growing tally.

Useful gelding. Last outing finished second of 8 starters at Newbury on February 17 over 4700m, on slow going 5 len behind As The Fella Says with 72.5kg at $5.50. Before that won by 3 len Wincanton on January 15 over 5000m slow going defeating Not A Light carrying 75kg at $4.50 in a steeplechase. Sure to improve again. No surprise to see him in the mix.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up finished second in a small field at Lingfield on December 13 over 3200m, 8 len behind Hansard with 71kg at $10. Second run from a spell fell at Newbury on January 14 over 4700m. Won't find this easy.
