UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Capitoul was beaten at odds-on when second at Stratford earlier this month and isn't easy to trust even at this lowly level, while Vancouver is relatively consistent but has only won once in his last 13 attempts. SKEAPING scored in a novices' selling hurdle at Southwell on his final start for Gordon Elliott and makes the most appeal. This is some nice placing by Phil Middleton and he can outclass these rivals.
Prediction : 1st Skeaping 2nd Capitoul 3rd Vancouver

BOLD RECORD beat a decent yardstick in maiden company at Uttoxeter when last seen in June and can follow up for Nicky Henderson and Nico de Boinville. The five-year-old is open to greater improvement and receives 7lb from Present Ranger, who added to his C&D success with victory at Warwick in late spring before a break. Rukwa and Finalshot add some depth to a decent race for the time of year.
Prediction : 1st Bold Record 2nd Present Ranger 3rd Finalshot

LAND LEAGUE did some good work late in the day here two weeks ago and can only improve for this slight step up in distance. The eight-year-old remains a maiden after four starts over fences, but looks ready to open his account now. Perpignan showed more over hurdles at Southwell and has long shaped as though chasing would be his game, while first-time cheekpieces are expected to spark improvement from Tanrudy.
Prediction : 1st Land League 2nd Perpignan 3rd Tanrudy

BUTLERGROVE KING wasn't quite at his best but still performed with credit when fifth at Ffos Las in June, and perhaps a 72-day break will have done him good ahead of this return to action. He is suited by a stamina test and has proven in the past that he can win races off this sort of three-figure mark. King Golan has finished third three times in a row at Cartmel, while Benarty Hill would be interesting if backed on stable debut.
Prediction : 1st Butlergrove King 2nd King Golan 3rd Benarty Hill

Marju's Quest has been absent since picking up minor money over timber over the extended 2m2f here in September and merits a market check. With the benefit of recent runs to his name, however, AGENTLEMAN, who has winning C&D form in the book, shades preference. The pick of the remainder may be Dark Invader, who sports a first-time visor.
Prediction : 1st Agentleman 2nd Marjus Quest 3rd Dark Invader

COURT AFFAIRS has been knocking hard on the door and may be able to turn the tables on his recent Uttoxeter conqueror Jen's Boy now fitted with a first-time tongue-tie. Sleepy Haven drops back from 3m after finishing fifth at Perth and can scrap it out for the silver medal with Farmer Boy, who won over an extended 2m4f here in April.
Prediction : 1st Court Affairs 2nd Jens Boy 3rd Farmer Boy

OKSANA struck over track and trip when last sighted and can shake off an 8lb rise to notch a double. Ourmullion attracted support when fourth over 2m1f at Newton Abbot and it will be interesting to see if the money is down for him again now he steps up to this longer trip. The pick of the remainder may be Tingo In The Tale, who picked up the silver medal off this mark over 2m at Uttoxeter but still needs to prove his stamina.
Prediction : 1st Oksana 2nd Ourmullion 3rd Tingo In The Tale
