UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

There have been some useful winners of this in the past and BENNY'S BRIDGE, who scored here in a bumper on similar going, could be another handy victor if leaving his Imperial Cup run on holding ground in the past. He was a winner of a decent handicap in taking fashion at Cheltenham before that and could be very tough to beat switching to novice company. Yaa Salaam fared well behind two respectable opponents when third at Ffos Las on his UK debut and could have more to come, while Rockwood is an interesting recruit from the Flat who could surprise.
Prediction : 1st Bennys Bridge 2nd Yaa Salaam 3rd Rockwood

BUBBLES OF GOLD has made the podium the last twice over three miles and the point winner could be suited by the drop back to an intermediate trip as he looks to open his Rules account in first-time cheekpieces. Lady Camelot has picked up a silver medal on her last two outings and is respected receiving heaps of weight off her rivals here, while Imperial Elixir has proved to be slightly disappointing so far and looks to need improvement now to play a telling part.
Prediction : 1st Bubbles Of Gold 2nd Lady Camelot 3rd Imperial Elixir

TORRENT DES MOTTES opened his account at the 15th attempt with an emphatic victory at Huntingdon last week and John Cornwall's eight-year-old will be hard to stop under a 7lb penalty if in the same form this time. The consistent Quantum Of Solace could only manage to finish fourth when tackling a career-high rating last time, but would be foolish to completely ruled out. The most likely challenge to the selection may come from Taunton winner Royal Act and Nikki Steel, who returns from an absence off the same mark as when third to Dark Invader at Ffos Las last June and is better off with that rival now.
Prediction : 1st Torrent Des Mottes 2nd Nikki Steel 3rd Quantum Of Solace

STAR FOOT did it well here seven days ago and could still be ahead of the assessor under a 7lb penalty. The eight-year-old shouldn't be deterred by this extra couple of furlongs and can prove too good for Shanroe In Milan, who represents an in-form yard and handles varying ground. Iskabeg Lane has been holding his form well in recent weeks and could prove best of the remainder for Sue Smith.
Prediction : 1st Star Foot 2nd Shanroe In Milan 3rd Iskabeg Lane

Ballyhome bumped into one here when last seen in January and should give the form of this contest a solid outlook, while the form of Back On The Lash's Ludlow victory 10 weeks ago was boosted when the runner-up scored at Newbury last weekend. A safer option might be REDZOR, who only lost to a potentially top-class type at Hereford earlier this month but previously looked very promising for Dan Skelton. He should appreciate this slight drop in trip and can return to winning ways.
Prediction : 1st Redzor 2nd Back On The Lash 3rd Ballyhome

NEMEAN LION was unable to handle a very quick turnaround when last seen at Catterick on New Year's Day having won at the track four days earlier and a subsequent break could see the son of Mahler find further improvement. Family Man sports a first-time visor on his handicap debut which may see him produce a much better display, while others to consider include recent Sedgefield winner Very Extravagant and Sigurd.
Prediction : 1st Nemean Lion 2nd Family Man 3rd Very Extravagant

THE VERY THING is yet to get off the mark over timber but has cheekpieces applied for the first time which could see him take the required step forward. Working Class was disappointing on soft ground at Sandown when last seen but is respected on his return to a sounder surface. Others to consider include Ice Galley, who makes his handicap debut, and Siannes Star.
Prediction : 1st The Very Thing 2nd Working Class 3rd Ice Galley
