UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

TRUE ROMANCE has been consistent at this sort of level lately and can add to his tally after gaining a confidence booster on the all-weather at Wolverhampton. He was only just denied in a selling hurdle for conditional riders at Taunton last month and is fancied to go one better. Weebill is respected on his return and first start after a wind operation, while Gregor is dangerous to underestimate on these terms.
Prediction : 1st True Romance 2nd Weebill 3rd Gregor

CHASING FIRE comes into this defending an unbeaten status from one outing in a point-to-point and two under Rules. The son of Maxios registered a bloodless success on his hurdling debut over course and distance last month and could well be a step ahead of the rest. Keep Running jumped to the right when a disappointing favourite at Bangor and may be worth forgiving that effort, while Indian Sunbird isn't without hope at this level and is another with scope.
Prediction : 1st Chasing Fire 2nd Keep Running 3rd Indian Sunbird

An open contest in which marginal preference is for the unexposed ALMOST GOTAWAY, who has gone up 4lb following a two-length victory at Wincanton. He is going the right way and can follow up, although Fazayte switches back to timber following a determined win over fences here and has to be feared. Accidental Legend is now rated 5lb higher than for his breakthrough triumph at Uttoxeter but is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Almost Gotaway 2nd Fazayte 3rd Accidental Legend

DUKE OF LUCKLEY was a game winner on his most recent outing over an extended 1m7f and has to be of interest stepping back up in trip, especially given how strongly he kept on to lead towards the finish at Catterick. Ballinslea Bridge showed his appreciation for a drop in class to come out on top over 3m here and can give the selection most to think about, although Hometown Hero might be warming to the task over fences.
Prediction : 1st Duke Of Luckley 2nd Ballinslea Bridge 3rd Hometown Hero

Spanish Present took a step back in the right direction when second at Leicester and can have a say in proceedings off a 1lb higher mark, but first-time cheekpieces could be what LIGHT EM UP NIGEL needs to snap a sequence of five successive runner-up finishes. He will relish the rise from 2m, and the fact David Prichard knocks 5lb off his back aids his cause even further. Sergeant Wilson remains unexposed and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Light Em Up Nigel 2nd Spanish Present 3rd Sergeant Wilson

Having romped to victory over 3m1f at Hereford, Dan Skelton has wasted no time in sending JET PLANE over further and the six-year-old, unexposed over both fences and marathon trips, could be more than capable of defying a 14lb hike. Bangers And Cash holds strong claims following his Exeter success and may be similarly suited by the step up in distance. Cash To Ash is now 1lb lower than when second in this last year and merits consideration alongside former winner Who's In The Box, though he needs to improve on recent performances.
Prediction : 1st Jet Plane 2nd Bangers And Cash 3rd Cash To Ash

Olly Murphy has a good strike-rate in these contests and the Warwickshire-based trainer boasts a strong hand with his pair Tintagel Queen and SAO CARLOS, of whom the latter is preferred. The son of Blue Bresil, who cost 36,000 euros as a three-year-old, is out of a bumper winner so looks well equipped to land a race of this nature. Asta La Pasta makes appeal for the in-form Dan Skelton team, while Dasher is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Sao Carlos 2nd Tintagel Queen 3rd Asta La Pasta
