UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

SOFIA'S ROCK had been running very consistently prior to having to be pulled up on his latest outing at Stratford and if you can forgive him that run, he should take all the beating in this contest. Dan Skelton's eight-year-old has Tristan Durrell taking off a valuable 6lb, which should be a big help. Blazer's Mill has Gearoid Harney claiming 10lb, which may turn out useful, while Dogon is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Sofias Rock 2nd Blazers Mill 3rd Dogon

IMPERIAL STORM was a facile scorer on his latest start, winning a bumper at Perth by 10 lengths, and this looks like a good opportunity to get off the mark at the first time of asking over hurdles. The form of that success last time has since been franked, given the third and fourth have both come out and won, so Fergal O'Brien's six-year-old should take all the beating in this contest. Tchoupinminzac could also be thereabouts, while The Trader is afforded respect on debut.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Storm 2nd Tchoupinminzac 3rd The Trader

Getaway Jewel arrives here seeking a hat-trick after two wins at this venue, both over C&D, so he obviously commands respect, but slight preference is for SERJEANT PAINTER. Ben Pauling's seven-year-old has won his last three starts, most recently at Stratford where he scored by two and three-quarter lengths. He has been raised 8lb for that victory, but Luca Morgan's 3lb claim will help and he could prove tough to stop. Trumps Benefit is another last-time-out winner and he completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Serjeant Painter 2nd Getaway Jewel 3rd Trumps Benefit

WHO'S THE GUV'NOR arrives here seeking a hat-trick after a couple of wins at this venue, most recently scoring by 11 lengths over 2m3f, and the eight-year-old shaped that day as if this step up to 2m7f will suit. Micky Hammond's charge has been raised 8lb for that latest win, but that may prove lenient. Go All The Way is likely to appreciate this drop back in trip after not quite getting home over 3m at Uttoxeter, while Decoration Of War is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Whos The Guvnor 2nd Go All The Way 3rd Decoration Of War

VINNIE'S GETAWAY won here at the beginning of June and was still holding every chance when falling at the last on his most recent outing at Stratford. The handicapper has left him on the same mark and this may be the ideal place for him to get his head back in front. Post No Bills has been knocking on the door recently and the application of cheekpieces may yield further progression, while Raddle And Hum and Getthepot are others who are likely to be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Vinnies Getaway 2nd Post No Bills 3rd Raddle And Hum

GIOVANNI CHANGE wasn't disgraced when third over C&D in a stronger race last month and the drop in class represents a solid opportunity for the seven-year-old to gain a third success over timber, with both victories thus far coming here. No Fixed Charges has filled the runner-up spot on his last couple of starts and he is expected to be competitive once again, while the return to hurdles may see Wall Of Fame in a better light.
Prediction : 1st Giovanni Change 2nd No Fixed Charges 3rd Wall Of Fame

CELLAR VIE won at Ayr in January before disappointing on his subsequent outings and a change of stable, from James Ewart to Dan Skelton, combined with a wind operation, might see the gelding bounce back. Good Bye was rewarded for his consistency having finally got off the mark over timber here at the end of last month and he is capable of another decent showing. Fox's Socks and Mac Suibhne are feared most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cellar Vie 2nd Good Bye 3rd Foxs Socks
