Our friends at Tipstrr have run their numbers for us to come up with a consensus of opinion that this wide open handicap is very much up for grabs for their best value bet.
19:55 Leicester: Darren & Sue Pateman Birthday Anniversary Handicap (6 furlongs)
The early market leader Libra Tiger holds realistic claims under Saffie Osborne after picking up a respectable runner-up spot at Haydock two weeks ago.
However, with top weight and indifferent prior form making her favourite tag look vulnerable, there might be better value to be found elsewhere, and the decision of some major bookies to offer three places for this seven-runner race opens up some each-way options.
The Tipstrr camp has gravitated instead towards the bottom-weighted Profitable Dawn, who returns from a five-month break following a lightly-raced juvenile year.

The high point of 2022 came when she came third of 10 at Yarmouth last October, which she followed up with a close-up runner-up spot on Lingfield's synthetic track in December.
It is worth noting that Profitable Dawn is trainer Henry Spiller's only runner of the day, while jockey Ray Dawson is in great form this season and boasts an excellent record at the Leicester track, where he has landed eight winners and 18 places from his 39 rides.
Suggested bet: Profitable Dawn each-way in the 19:55 at Leicester
