The finale is a 5 furlong apprentice handicap, and among plenty with winning form in the book, Mandarin Spirit gets the nod here to follow up Tuesday's success, ahead of Harrison's Flyer and All You Need. The selection justified favouritism at Brighton 2 days ago at a similar level, and could reward backers again despite carrying a 6 pounds penalty and having a low draw. Willie Carson's doing the steering. All You Need has made the frame in his last couple of runs in handicap company and can go close again today. Harrison's Flyer has had a busy season, and been knocking on the door in a number of races; sooner or later they'll find one he can win. But for Leicester's lucky last, we'll stick our pin on Mandarin Spirit.
