UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

WHISKEY AND WATER was unsuccessful in six starts on the Flat, but shaped nicely on his debut over hurdles when second at Hexham earlier this month and looks poised to go one better. Brian Ellison's charge seems to handle varying ground and can prove too hot for Two Blondes, who was rated 86 at his pomp on the Flat for Mick Channon and is now with Donald McCain. Another Reason could prove best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Whiskey And Water 2nd Two Blondes 3rd Another Reason

HURRICANE RITA is 2-2 since having her wind done, impressing at Southwell and Stratford over fences, and looks hard to oppose despite switching to hurdles. The nine-year-old might have too much knowhow for Rococo Style, who might have paid the price for going too quick early on over further last month, and Angel Of The North, who held every chance at Fakenham earlier this month before slipping up between the last two flights.
Prediction : 1st Hurricane Rita 2nd Rococo Style 3rd Angel Of The North

Masteen shaped well when second on his stable/hurdling debut after a 522-day absence at Southwell last month and could take a step forward now upped in trip, while Somekindofstar returned to form when second at Warwick when last seen. Narrow preference, though, is for the Dan Skelton-trained ARTICLE FIFTY. A bumper winner for Warren Greatrex before going off the boil and changing hands, he showed promise at Southwell 17 days ago and could enjoy this step up in trip.
Prediction : 1st Article Fifty 2nd Masteen 3rd Somekindofstar

MOIDORE benefited from the change of tactics when making all to score here last month. He went up 7lb for that success but could prove capable of winning again despite the drop in trip. Ballyfarsoon took a conditional jockeys event at Aintree last Friday and has been placed well by connections, while recent Ffos Las winner Buck Bravo appears best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Moidore 2nd Ballyfarsoon 3rd Buck Bravo

GONE PLATINUM has turned a corner in 2019, winning four of his nine starts, and got his head back in front over timber at Ffos Las on his latest outing. His most recent effort over fences saw him finish second to the progressive Larry at Sandown in April and there could be more to come. Bandsman was behind the selection at the Esher venue and jumped a lot better when scoring here over shorter last time. He warrants respect along with Cake de L'Isle and the four-timer seeking Darcy Ward.
Prediction : 1st Gone Platinum 2nd Bandsman 3rd Cake de LIsle

IMPRESSIVE DUKE was an easy eight-length winner at Stratford on Tuesday and a 7lb penalty is unlikely to stop him from going in again today, as long as he has recovered from those exertions. Alexander The Grey hit the crossbar last time out and he should be thereabouts once again, while Boy In A Bentley is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Impressive Duke 2nd Alexander The Grey 3rd Boy In A Bentley

CRAIGNEICHE is out of a mare who won her only start in a bumper by 21 lengths and this 60,000-euro purchase can make a winning racecourse debut this afternoon. Belfast Banter has to be of some interest having finished second in an Irish point-to-point in April, while Ben Buie is the pick of those with previous experience under Rules.
Prediction : 1st Craigneiche 2nd Belfast Banter 3rd Ben Buie
