Leicester Placepot picks: Paul Kealy with his Thursday selections

Of the five British cards just one, Leicester, has enough runners in each race to offer at least two places for Placepot punters, so that makes it the choice by default.

It isn't great racing and any of the four five-runner heats could be reduced to win only at any time, but that's all we've got.

The opener (1.40) ought to be between Kiss N Cuddle and , with the latter preferred despite his odds-on defeat at Musselburgh last time where the winner had shown promise.

The next (2.10) is an actual horserace, if a poor one, with 12 runners. has two ways of running but is competitively treated at his best.

In the next (2.40) might be quite short, but I thought shaped with lots of promise on last month's debut and his trainer is really starting to fire.

In the fourth (3.10) shaped like a horse on the up when second to at Doncaster, and he ought to take a bit of beating, while his conqueror is a worthy favourite for the next (3.40), having been sixth of 28 in the Sandringham since.

Ten go to post for the last leg, a 0-50 classified stakes (4.10) which is desperate stuff, but Brett Johnson seems to have rejuvenated , who will be tough to kick out of the frame if in the same form as last week. He's been a good deal better than this in the past.
