UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

LUCOU has plenty of hurdling experience from France and the son of Axxos warrants plenty of respect on his first outing for these connections. Maria Magdalena, What Will Be and Whiskey And Water are others who bring solid timber form to the table, while Paricolor and Gino Wotimean could be worth a second look in the betting market ahead of their NH debuts.
Prediction : 1st Lucou 2nd What Will Be 3rd Maria Magdalena

COTSWOLD PRINCE struggled in a better race than this at Cheltenham last time but his previous second-placed finish at Doncaster suggests that he can win a race of this nature. Glan Y Gors put in an encouraging effort at Cartmel 13 days ago and he is an obvious threat, while Chapati and Aweeminit are others who merit consideration in a competitive contest.
Prediction : 1st Cotswold Prince 2nd Glan Y Gors 3rd Chapati

SURREY BLAZE has displayed plenty of promise when making the frame in both of his previous starts over hurdles and he appears to be the one to beat. Prancing Oscar bumped into a pair of useful rivals on his first start over timber and he should be in the mix again. The shortlist is completed by Ray's The Money and Twasn't The Plan.
Prediction : 1st Surrey Blaze 2nd Prancing Oscar 3rd Twasnt The Plan

COURT DUTY would have won by further at Newton Abbot last time but for making a bad mistake at the last fence and that performance suggests that he could still be very well handicapped. Northern Beau rarely runs a bad race and she should be thereabouts once again, while similar comments also apply to Oliver's Gold. Beautiful Ben was successful at Perth on Wednesday and would have a big chance if those exertions have not left a mark.
Prediction : 1st Court Duty 2nd Northern Beau 3rd Beautiful Ben

PRIMAL FOCUS made amends for a last-fence fall at Fakenham, when looking the likely winner, on his latest outing at Newton Abbot in April. The five-year-old has had wind surgery since and that could yield further improvement. Jot'em Down has to enter calculations on his most recent performances, while Teeton Power could take a step forward from her first start for Kelly Morgan.
Prediction : 1st Primal Focus 2nd Jotem Down 3rd Teeton Power

ARTICLE FIFTY benefited from the step up in trip when scoring over C&D in June and he makes plenty of appeal on his handicap bow coming from a stable in decent form. A more galloping track will suit Handy Hollow better than Stratford did on his latest outing, as he got outpaced at a crucial point, while the step up in distance could see improvement from Hattaab.
Prediction : 1st Article Fifty 2nd Handy Hollow 3rd Hattaab

ULYSSES thrived following wind surgery on his first outing for Dan Skelton, romping to a 15-length victory at Stratford earlier this week and the five-year-old is hard to oppose looking to quickly follow up under a 7lb penalty. Yorbelucky is interesting now switched to the handicap ranks, while Rococo Style was a winner here in June and is 5lb higher this time, with the extra yardage not a problem.
Prediction : 1st Ulysses 2nd Rococo Style 3rd Yorbelucky

Rory And Me was a cosy winner over course and distance on debut and, having not been disgraced when looking to follow up at Southwell, he has to be respected returned to this venue. However, Olly Murphy's mare ELENA SUE is receiving plenty of weight from her rivals and shaped with enough encouragement first time out at Ludlow to suggest a big performance could be on the cards. Newcomers Down To The Sea and Bucko's Boy are both worthy of a market check and are others to note.
Prediction : 1st Elena Sue 2nd Rory And Me 3rd Down To The Sea
