UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

SOLDIER ON PARADE produced a promising performance at Bangor, finding just a thriving rival too good in the latter stages. His jumping was fine and he looks the type who could easily pick up a few races in this sphere. Dutch Admiral makes his first appearance for David Bridgwater and wasn't beaten far by Group 3 winner Crossfirehurricane in a couple of outings at Dundalk in the winter. Party Potential, Prince Percy and Dorchester Dom are other Flat recruits to keep an eye on representing yards that are strong in this division.
Prediction : 1st Soldier On Parade 2nd Dutch Admiral 3rd Party Potential

BREAK THE RULES thrived in first-time cheekpieces when scoring at Southwell and despite life being tougher now she has to concede weight to all her rivals, she won a touch better than the winning margin would suggest and there could be more in the locker. Bit On The Side was highly tried in bumpers and although failing to make a hurdling impact so far, she won't mind conditions and is respected. Richard Newland's French recruit Coulonces completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Break The Rules 2nd Bit On The Side 3rd Coulonces

LITTLE STEVIE has performed with credit on both outings since the restart and the C&D winner is backed to go one better than his recent Uttoxeter second off the same mark. Wisecracker, an impressive scorer at Hereford in November, almost picked up where he left off when a silver medallist at Stratford and warrants plenty of respect. Bangor runner-up Secret Melody completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Little Stevie 2nd Wisecracker 3rd Secret Melody

BRANDON CASTLE's fourth in the Summer Hurdle over C&D earlier this month marks him out as the one to beat, and the eight-year-old can take advantage of an unchanged rating. Ferrobin didn't get far when tried over fences at Southwell last time, but could be a factor returned to timber. Fubar was only beaten a nose over further here recently and is interesting dropping back in trip, with cheekpieces now tried.
Prediction : 1st Brandon Castle 2nd Ferrobin 3rd Fubar

BALLYHOME has a fine record here and was on the scoresheet in a novice chase at this venue earlier this month. He reverts to hurdles as he goes up in trip and can land a fourth track victory for the in-form Fergal O'Brien team. Jacks Last Hope wasn't beaten far off this mark when second at Southwell and is respected, while similar sentiments apply to The Vollan, who made a pleasing return at Uttoxeter.
Prediction : 1st Ballyhome 2nd Jacks Last Hope 3rd The Vollan

ARTHUR'S SIXPENCE thrived on his first run since wind surgery when gamely scoring at Uttoxeter earlier this month and could be tough to pass once again following a fair 4lb rise. Fergal O'Brien's Lough Har will have appreciated the pipe-opener at Stratford recently and could figure if brushing up on his jumping slightly. Chanceanotherfive has a chase victory on his CV and can't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Arthurs Sixpence 2nd Lough Har 3rd Chanceanotherfive

BLACK ANTHEM was a clear-cut winner over an extended 2m5f here last week and Tom Lacey's eight-year-old can take the step up to three miles in his stride to follow up under a 7lb penalty. Net Love was brought down before the race began to get going at Southwell and is respected off the same rating, while Graystown wasn't out of it when coming down on his final start of last season and has been given plenty of time to recover.
Prediction : 1st Black Anthem 2nd Net Love 3rd Graystown

HARBOUR FORCE kept on well to register a comfortable victory at Perth last week and the six-year-old should take all the beating once again under a penalty. Evita Du Mesnil failed to get home over 3m2f at Stratford, but is interesting dropping back in trip with that run under her belt. A mistake at the last put paid to Cybalko's challenge when fourth at Southwell earlier this month and he could take advantage of the same rating.
Prediction : 1st Harbour Force 2nd Evita Du Mesnil 3rd Cybalko

TALKINGPICTURESTV was an emphatic 13-length winner at Catterick in February and despite a 9lb rise, could take all the beating if proving just as effective on this faster ground. Kendelu shaped nicely when fourth on his reappearance at Newton Abbot and has dropped further down the ratings now. Southwell second It Can Be Done could also prove to be a threat to the selection in first-time cheekpieces.
Prediction : 1st Talkingpicturestv 2nd Kendelu 3rd It Can Be Done
