Timeform Radio Tips: Sky to hit the heights at Leicester

Leicester is the venue for today's bets.

Timeform's Martin Dixon heads to Leicester for Tuesday's bets...

Leicester's 15:10 looks an interesting maiden in general, with plenty of big yards represented, but I feel Hillstar and Pythagorean dominate the market more than they should and Flashlight makes appeal to me at current odds of 6.611/2. Mark Johnston's colt caught my eye on debut when finishing third despite badly needing the experience and he duly stepped up on that when second at Yarmouth last time. I'm sure there's better still to come, stall 12 could give him a positional edge towards the stand rail and, unlike several of the opposition, he's already proven that testing conditions are no problem.

I'll stay at Leicester for the second bet of the day, playing two against the field in the 17:10. I expect the leaders to go too fast here, with the likes of Amazing Blue Sky, Cape Explorer and Spyder all regular front-runners, and this should set things up for Exning Halt and Sky Khan.
