Frankie Dettori looks the man to follow at Leicester this afternoon and the irrepressible Italian is fancied to notch a hat-trick with Coppice, Dickensian and Chaski.

Last year's champion jockey was in the saddle when Coppice won at Salisbury last time and the four-year-old is fancied to follow up in the Highfields Handicap over the extended mile.

The lightly raced son of Rainbow Quest showed the right attitude to beat a previous winner on that occasion and, although penalised, won with a bit to spare that day and he's almost certainly open to further improvement.

Dettori can get the day off to a flier with Dickensian, who has created a favourable impression on both starts to date, in the E B F Kegworth Novice Stakes over seven furlongs.

The son of Xaar didn't really have the run of the race but was far from disgraced behind Baan, who has since run well, over the extended seven at Beverley on his most recent start.

He's well worth another chance and is fancied to get the better of John Dunlop's Tell, who also created a good impression when successful on his debut at Newmarket last month.

Chaski, who is also owned by the Godolphin operation, got off the mark at Bath last time and will be well suited by the sixth furlong of the Freeth Cartwright Fillies Nursery.

John Quinn's Caribbean Coral has slipped to a fair mark, may have been freshened up after a short break and is worth another chance in Weatherbys Bank Handicap over five furlongs.

At Carlisle Able Mind, who finally got off the mark at this course early last month, is fancied to give a good account in the Billy Brunton Memorial Handicap over a mile.

Although he didn't look the easiest of rides that day, he didn't do much wrong at Ayr last time and is better than that bare form given that he was held up in a race run at a slow gallop.

Sir Mark Prescott's horses have been in tremendous form and his Tempsford is fancied to make a winning reappearance in the Carlisle Conference Group & Waverley TBS Handicap over a mile and a half.

Lack of a recent run for one from this stable isn't a big concern and the five-year-old, who has a good strike rate and whose style of racing is well suited to this course, is fancied to beat Ski Jump.

At Folkestone the best bet on the card could be Qutang in the £2000 Off New Diesel Freelanders At Barretts Nursery over five furlongs.

From the bang in-form stable of William Haggas, the juvenile has shown plenty of dash on her last two starts and is interesting on this handicap debut tried in the first time visor.

King After, who returned to winning ways at Musselburgh last time, looks to have fair claims of staging a follow up in the Corporate Bookings Now

Taken For 2006 Handicap over the extended nine furlongs.
