UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

CHASING FIRE made a good impression when winning a bumper at Wetherby in March and he could take all the beating today if transferring that ability on his first start over hurdles. Sassified was a decent performer on the Flat for Johnny Murtagh and, having joined Philip Hobbs for his first start over obstacles, he is entitled to plenty of respect. Dandy Maestro was rated as high as 83 on the level and is another who could get involved.
Prediction : 1st Chasing Fire 2nd Sassified 3rd Dandy Maestro

IORENS bumped into a nice horse of Jonjo O'Neill's when second at Carlisle last time. The pair pulled well clear of the third that day, so she should be able to go one better in this if running to anything like that level. Mistral Nell showed enough ability in bumpers to suggest she could win races over hurdles, while Treefinch could build on her first effort over timber when fourth at Worcester last month.
Prediction : 1st Iorens 2nd Mistral Nell 3rd Treefinch

BETTY BALOO has only finished out the frame once in her nine career starts and she is fancied to run well on her reappearance, with Tom Midgley taking off a valuable 5lb. Seinesational disappointed at Worcester last time, but Dr Richard Newland's gelding looks like the type capable of bouncing back on his handicap debut, while Allbetsoff and Hidden Depths appear best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Betty Baloo 2nd Seinesational 3rd Allbetsoff

Planned Paradise could use a drop in trip to his advantage having finished a distant third on his seasonal debut over 3m2f at Newton Abbot last month, but he could face a tough assignment off top-weight. Therefore, preference is for HARRY DU BERLAIS, who remains unexposed and was last seen finishing a good second on his chasing bow at Bangor in April. Fawsley Spirit completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Harry Du Berlais 2nd Planned Paradise 3rd Fawsley Spirit

LITTLE RIVER BAY had excuses when beaten a long way into second, having lost a right-hind shoe in a Listed contest at Cheltenham in April. She has an excellent record fresh so cannot be taken lightly on her return to action, but the Nicky Henderson-trained Fantastic Lady contested some much hotter races at the end of last season and seems a big threat. Zambella is another to note back from a break.
Prediction : 1st Little River Bay 2nd Fantastic Lady 3rd Zambella

Another Mystery should be sharper for his seasonal debut at Fakenham last month and looks capable of having a say in proceedings, but the Stuart Coltherd-trained GANDHI MAKER steps up in trip following a respectable second at Ayr most recently and shades the vote. He is open to improvement on just his third start over the larger obstacles, while Bells Of Stamford completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Gandhi Maker 2nd Another Mystery 3rd Bells Of Stamford
