4:09 Leicester Tips

⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ Venetian Sky is interesting on her handicap debut, particularly because her Doncaster run suggests there is ability there. She improved to finish in the frame over 7f in June, and the subsequent fifth at Chester is easier to forgive because she reportedly encountered trouble. The OR of 74 is higher than Barak Warrior's 69, so she has to carry a little more weight in the ratings, but she also has a stronger piece of previous form on paper. The question is whether she can translate that ability into a competitive handicap performance first time. The return to a potentially more suitable trip is a positive, and being trained by William Haggas adds confidence that further improvement is possible.
