UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Last sighted on the Flat in October, MARINE ONE is expected to show up well on his first start for Dr Richard Newland now sent back over obstacles. Cracking Destiny unseated his rider over fences at Southwell but could go well on these terms now moving back over timber. Crimson King and No Thanks are both debuting in this sphere but would be interesting if attracting market support.
Prediction : 1st Marine One 2nd Cracking Destiny 3rd Crimson King

SEBASTIAN BEACH returned an 11-length winner over the extended 3m at Southwell last time and rates the one to beat now turned out under a 7lb penalty, for all he's dropping back in trip this afternoon. Gavrocheka was knocking on the door over shorter distances last season and could go well now stepped up in trip, while Fresh New Dawn is a potential improver now fitted with a first-time tongue-tie.
Prediction : 1st Sebastian Beach 2nd Gavrocheka 3rd Fresh New Dawn

NOTNOW SEAMUS arguably produced his best effort over fences to date when runner-up at Worcester in September and should be thereabouts if building on that performance. Envoye Special is the one expected to put up most resistance if he can recapture the sort of form that saw him chase home Kalashnikov at Plumpton two seasons ago. Ballyhome and Forecast are others capable of making an impact in this company.
Prediction : 1st Notnow Seamus 2nd Envoye Special 3rd Ballyhome

DOGON failed to go on as expected over hurdles last season, but he has slipped down the handicap and is worth one more chance making his first chase start in the UK (won in this sphere in France). Lucky Robin enjoyed a fruitful campaign last summer and may have further improvement to come over fences, while Monsieur D'Arque is capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st Dogon 2nd Lucky Robin 3rd Monsieur DArque

FAIR MOUNTAIN was far too free to do himself justice when last at Royal Ascot, but that outing will have taken the freshness out of him as he bids to go one better than his second in this contest two years ago. Fiesole is another to have warmed up on the level and a set of cheekpieces might unlock some improvement, while Dino Velvet's third at Southwell last week puts him right in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Fair Mountain 2nd Fiesole 3rd Dino Velvet

BAGS GROOVE was a decent novice chaser two seasons ago, winning four including the Pendil at Kempton, and the handicapper has given him an excellent chance dropping him to 147 after not being out since April 2019. Lough Derg Spirit was a useful performer for Nicky Henderson and is another who could be fairly treated on his first outing for Paul Nicholls, while Solomon Grey is of interest after a break.
Prediction : 1st Bags Groove 2nd Lough Derg Spirit 3rd Solomon Grey

HASANKEY improved with every start as a juvenile hurdler and the progressive four-year-old should take plenty of stopping off an opening mark of 120. Chieftain's Choice failed to fire on his last couple of starts in 2019 but he did win at Stratford a year ago off just 1lb lower in the ratings. Others to consider in an open event are Mabela and Mantovani.
Prediction : 1st Hasankey 2nd Chieftains Choice 3rd Mabela

PHOENIX ROCK progressed well last season and she only found one too good on her final outing of 2019 at Wincanton. The layoff is a slight concern but if she is anywhere near ready then she should take plenty of stopping. Mistercobar was successful over an extended 2m5f at this track earlier in the year and he could prove to be the main threat, ahead of Compadre.
Prediction : 1st Phoenix Rock 2nd Mistercobar 3rd Compadre

COURTANDBOULD clipped heels and fell on his most recent outing at Newcastle in February but the six-year-old appears to be the one beat today, having hit the crossbar on his Rules debut. Lively Citizen is another who should put his previous race experience to good use, while She's Our Darby and Bucks Dream are the pick of those making their first starts.
Prediction : 1st Courtandbould 2nd Lively Citizen 3rd Shes Our Darby
