UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

FAST FORWARD arrives in solid form, having scored on his most recent Flat outing at Yarmouth earlier this month. He stayed on well over 1m3f there and is interesting on his hurdling bow. Ha Long Bay is respected having run with promise on the level recently, while Bukela has some experience of hurdling though will have to be over a fall at Hexham, where he was moving into contention when coming to grief two out.
Prediction : 1st Fast Forward 2nd Ha Long Bay 3rd Bukela

Despite the burden of top weight, DURRAGH could make her presence felt having finished a fair second at Bangor on her most recent run last month. She was giving lumps of weight away last time and might fare better in this, despite being raised a total of 16lb for two wins at Perth. Whatcoloristhewind is respected ahead of Cirrus, who switches to handicaps after some modest efforts in maidens..
Prediction : 1st Durragh 2nd Whatcoloristhewind 3rd Cirrus

GIVE ME A CUDDLE seeks a treble following a bumper success and an eye-catching win at Stratford on his hurdling debut. The Bold Thady could make his presence felt on his handicap debut following a good second on his latest outing at Huntingdon, while Licklighter was a shade disappointing over timber at Cartmel last time but could make an impact if finding his best chasing form.
Prediction : 1st Give Me A Cuddle 2nd The Bold Thady 3rd Licklighter

DELLBOY TROTTER was brought down at Bangor last month, but he gained compensation in no uncertain terms when recording a comfortable success over C&D earlier this month. A 6lb rise in the handicap may prove lenient so he's taken to follow up, possibly at the expense of Art Man and Teescomponentsfly, who are 5lb better off with the selection from that recent meeting.
Prediction : 1st Dellboy Trotter 2nd Art Man 3rd Teescomponentsfly

Many of this bunch arrive in fine fettle so a tentative vote is for COSTLY DIAMOND. Gary Hanmer's charge does not look overburdened with a 4lb rise for her latest success and she can repel the challenge of recent Cartmel scorer Fire Away. David Pipe has done well with his French recruits and Defi D'Oudairies could be another shrewd purchase for the yard.
Prediction : 1st Costly Diamond 2nd Fire Away 3rd Defi DOudairies

Vinnie's Getaway was all out to win a moderate contest over C&D earlier this month and fellow recent course scorer Nefyn Point looks a more appealing proposition, even though his recent victory wasn't overly impressive in a race which was similarly there for the taking. All things considered, any value here may lie with the ex-French class-dropper FARO, who has been clipped 5lb for a respectable effort in a better handicap at Huntingdon last month.
Prediction : 1st Faro 2nd Nefyn Point 3rd Vinnies Getaway

Timetotalk went close to landing a gamble after a long layoff at Kelso last month but hardly looks bombproof and could be worth taking on with recent 25,000gns recruit ILANZ. The four-year-old showed up well when third behind two race-hardened rivals on his debut at Kilbeggan last month and looks a likely type for a yard which is doing increasingly well with its bumper runners. Charging Point, a half-brother to the smart bumper/hurdle/chase performer Sgt Reckless, looks the most interesting of the newcomers considering the Laura Morgan yard has a good record with NH Flat runners on this track.
Prediction : 1st Ilanz 2nd Timetotalk 3rd Charging Point
