UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

This is a great opportunity for ECLAIR D'AINAY as he looks to bounce back to some of the best form he showed last season. The nine-year-old has not run over hurdles since October but he is likely to have too much for Hero, who has shown little in three starts over the smaller obstacles, and Artic Breeze, a former point-to-point winner.
Prediction : 1st Eclair DAinay 2nd Hero 3rd Artic Breeze

A comfortable winner at Ffos Las last week, TEMPLIER must hold every chance of bringing up the hat-trick despite having to carry a 7lb penalty and top weight. The veteran is thriving at present and he can see off the likes of 22-race maiden Zara's Universe and Lonimoss Bareliere, who bounced back to form with a strong runner-up effort at Southwell earlier in the month.
Prediction : 1st Templier 2nd Lonimoss Bareliere 3rd Zaras Universe

GRANDADS COTTAGE has enjoyed a fine start to his chasing career and he could be arriving on a hat-trick, but for being outdone by a well-handicapped novice chaser at Fontwell last month. The Olly Murphy stable continues in great form and the son of Shantou should have too much for the capable Skytastic and Viva Lavilla, who performed with plenty of credit when third at Wetherby.
Prediction : 1st Grandads Cottage 2nd Viva Lavilla 3rd Skytastic

Inferno Sacree hasn't looked back since dropping in distance with the blinkers applied, and a fourth consecutive victory can't be discounted given the manner of his latest romp at Plumpton. A chance, however, is taken on the Alan King-trained DICKENS, a 77-rated Flat horse who makes his handicap debut off what looks a fair opening mark in this sphere. Gift Of Raaj made all to win a small-field affair at Doncaster last month and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Dickens 2nd Inferno Sacree 3rd Gift Of Raaj

HALONDO proved a different proposition when scooting home by 13 lengths on his handicap debut here earlier in the month and Olly Murphy's inmate may have even more to offer now upped in trip to 2m7f. Jubilee Express ran a respectable race in defeat when conceding 6lb to the winner in a novice hurdle at Lingfield in November and he's feared most on his handicap bow. Broadway Boy made it no further than the second hurdle at Haydock last week but could go well if none the worse for that mishap.
Prediction : 1st Halondo 2nd Jubilee Express 3rd Broadway Boy

Formerly useful during a light career on the Flat when trained by Joseph O'Brien in Ireland, GHASHAM has adapted reasonably well to the jumping scene and, with scope to improve over the trip, he could be worth a small investment. The fitting of a tongue-tie could initiate a more accomplished performance from the son of Churchill, who edges the vote ahead of Shiyrvann and Black Lightning.
Prediction : 1st Ghasham 2nd Shiyrvann 3rd Black Lightning

The form of KATATE DORI's latest Warwick second sets a decent standard and he looks a solid choice. Booster Bob impressed with his attitude to win a similar contest on his racecourse bow at Ayr last month and he is taken to go well under a penalty. However, the form of that race took a knock on testing ground at Kelso on Saturday, which slightly tempers enthusiasm. With that in mind, the well-bred Ballywhatsit is suggested as the main danger.
Prediction : 1st Katate Dori 2nd Ballywhatsit 3rd Booster Bob
