Charlie Hills will be out to claim the feature race at Leicester LINE OF REASON can rediscover the winning trail with victory in the feature event at Leicester.

Just three runners go to post for the #15,000 EBF Stallions Prestwold Conditions Stakes, but it does not lack intrigue, with the vastlyexperienced Line Of Reason taken on by a couple of three-year-olds in Equilateral and Sarshampla.

Equilateral looked a potential star when winning on his reappearance at Doncaster in the spring, but has since finished well-beaten in the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot and the Hackwood Stakes at Newbury.

The Charlie Hills-trained youngster drops in distance and class for this five-furlong heat, but the admirable Line Of Reason might just outfox him.

Paul Midgley’s stable stalwart is a veteran of 80 races with 11 victories to his name and you can pretty much set your watch by him.

There is nothing to suggest his powers are on the wane, with his recent fourth place behind Take Cover in the Beverley Bullet a more than respectable effort.

With Callum Rodriguez claiming a very handy 3lb, Line Of Reason and Equilateral are closely matched on the book and experience is expected to triumph over youth on this occasion.

Rebel Assault might be the answer to the High Leicestershire Handicap.

After placing on three of her previous four starts, Mark Johnston’s filly was not winning out of turn when striking gold at Musselburgh just a fortnight ago.

She has only been raised 1lb to mark of 88 and considering she began the campaign rated in the high 90s, it will be disappointing if she is not competitive again.
