UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Bolister continues to knock on the door and is likely to be in the shake-up again, while Haasab merits consideration having undergone wind surgery since his third-placed effort at Catterick in December. However, the vote goes to EOLIAN, who appeared to benefit from the refitting of cheekpieces (worn to good effect in his Flat days and equipped again today) when runner-up at Huntingdon and having top conditional Fergus Gregory taking over in the plate is a big plus.
Prediction : 1st Eolian 2nd Bolister 3rd Haasab

The 130-rated GARRETTSTOWN, a C&D winner in January, is fancied to bounce right back to form dropping in both class and trip after pulling up in Grade 3 contest over 2m4f at Sandown last month. Harambe claimed an overdue victory at Kempton and rates the biggest threat with that confidence booster under his belt, while I'm Wiser Now is an interesting player switching to hurdles from bumpers, a sphere in which he has placed in all three starts.
Prediction : 1st Garrettstown 2nd Harambe 3rd Im Wiser Now

Dallas Cowboy, who is due to be running off a 6lb higher mark in the near future, was only beaten a neck over 2m1f here last week and he ought to go close if arriving in the same mood, with Dartford Warbler expected to run his usual honest race. However, the vote goes to TROUBLED SOUL. She impressed in this sphere at Kelso before hitting the deck at Cheltenham and, with confidence restored following a pleasing spin over timber at Leicester, she looks sure to mount a bold bid.
Prediction : 1st Troubled Soul 2nd Dallas Cowboy 3rd Dartford Warbler

It might pay to side with the top-rated WISHFULL DREAMING, who remains in decent form despite running slightly below par latest and having cheekpieces and a tongue-tie equipped together for the first time might just do the trick. Vendor performed well on similar ground to this at Wetherby two runs ago and ought to be competitive off a 2lb lower mark, while Embole, equipped with first-time cheekpieces on his chasing return, also warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Wishfull Dreaming 2nd Vendor 3rd Embole

EARLOFTHECOTSWOLDS struck over C&D two starts ago and posted a solid effort in defeat when runner-up at Ludlow last time. A 4lb rise appears workable for Nigel Twiston-Davies' five-year-old, who is expected to get back on the winning trail. Collooney is worth monitoring in the betting now stepped up in trip and fitted with a first-time tongue-tie on his handicap bow. Hat-trick seeker Gleno cannot be left out of calculations either.
Prediction : 1st Earlofthecotswolds 2nd Collooney 3rd Gleno

PETERS COUSIN appeared to find 2m on the sharp side when second off this mark at Doncaster last month and promises to be suited by this stiffer test. Carrolls Milan has been raised 4lb for scoring over 3m at Ludlow in February and is the one expected to put up most resistance, though it would come as no surprise to see Jet Set turn in an improved performance now moving back over the smaller obstacles.
Prediction : 1st Peters Cousin 2nd Carrolls Milan 3rd Jet Set

Nicky Henderson representative ROYAL REEL is half-brother to six winners, including high-class chaser Barbers Shop, and could prove a cut above his rivals on his racecourse introduction. Marada is a half-sister to two hurdles winners and is expected to give a good account on debut for Dan Skelton, likewise Pam Sly's Takeit Easy, who is related to several NH winners.
Prediction : 1st Royal Reel 2nd Marada 3rd Takeit Easy
