The Daily Star Chief Tipster believes a horse who has improved beyond all recognition to go on a winning spree can score again at Leicester
HEEZTHEBOY (2.02, nap) is one of the success stories of the season and he can keep it going at Leicester on Tuesday.
The nine-year-old has enjoyed a purple patch with four wins from his last five runs.
Gary Hanmer’s improver has risen 33lb in the weights but I reckon there is even more to come.
Heeztheboy is napped to score again in the Kube –Leicester’s Premier Events Venue handicap Chase.
Jack Hogan has struck up a great rapport with the horse and he is already a course winner at the East Midlands track, scooting clear to beat The Bluesman 23 days ago.
Jipcot and No Tackle will keep him competitive but he is a confident choice to continue the winning streak.
DUST COVER (8.00, nb) should have won at Southwell on his last start but had a troubled passage.
He should make amends under Paddy Bradley in the Midnite: Built For 2026 Not2006 Handicap.
HUNKY DORY (5.20) won with authority last month and the former Ed Walker trainee looks a decent recruit for the Mick Appleby yard.
Another winner machine is AISLING OSCAR (2.13, nb) who has racked up five straight victories, all coming at Newcastle.
He returns to his favourite track in the Win £250,000 With BetMGM’s Golden Goals Handicap and gets to run off the same handicap rating as when he won seven days ago.
SELENIC (12.43) was unlucky at Southwell two weeks ago when badly hampered and is worth another chance, while CATHERINE CHROI (1.13) has been edging back to some form and her turn could come.
The canny Tony Carroll may have snapped up a real bargain in the shape of BETSEN (2.43) who was a £16,000 purchase in November.
He had some decent form in Ireland, peaking with an official rating of 102.
He almost recouped his purchase price with success on his first run for Carroll at Southwell and he can go in again.
He remains well treated off a mark of 86 and can run up a sequence of victories.
STARRYFIELD (1.43) is the other big fancy at Newcastle and he can score for trainer James Owen.
