13:35 Market Rasen

Dicey Rielly finished a creditable second over an extended 3m at Aintree earlier this month and Peter Bowen's inmate commands respect off the same mark, but she has to shoulder top-weight here. Therefore, MERVEILLO gets the vote. The gelded son of Archipenko is rated 1lb higher following a decent run to fill the runner-up spot over an extended 2m7f at Uttoxeter last month and is taken to build on that promising effort. Jimvale is another to consider following a fair third at Southwell recently.
Prediction : 1st Merveillo 2nd Dicey Rielly 3rd Jimvale

14:10 Market Rasen

The retained booking of Harry Cobden on Vision Of Hope merits respect, but she is rated 3lb higher following a six-length defeat over C&D on her most recent run. Therefore, it could pay to side with GREEN OR BLACK, who took a big step forward when seeing off Lucky Draw (second) over 2m at Uttoxeter earlier this month. A 7lb rise may not be enough to stop her securing a double, but Daniel Bourne's six-year-old can give her plenty to think about again and is slightly better off at the weights with the winner for that one-length defeat.
Prediction : 1st Green Or Black 2nd Lucky Draw 3rd Vision Of Hope

14:45 Market Rasen

Only narrowly denied over 2m4f at Fakenham on his most recent outing, SCUDAMORE rates the one to beat in a contest lacking depth. A stiffer stamina test may not be enough to hold him back given he kept on well during that contest and he is fancied to get the better of the unexposed Matoury. Man Of Riddles looks the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Scudamore 2nd Matoury 3rd Man Of Riddles

15:20 Market Rasen

Rory And Me (second) and PILEUP (third) were closely matched when meeting over C&D a fortnight ago, but the result of that contest may have been different had the latter jumped the final flight better. With that in mind, there is every chance Mark Walford's gelding could reverse the form and get his head in front for the first time. Headscarf Lil benefited from wind surgery when scoring here last month and she can enter the reckoning.
Prediction : 1st Pileup 2nd Rory And Me 3rd Headscarf Lil

15:55 Market Rasen

ILE DE JERSEY ran well over hurdles when returning from a break at Aintree last month and the five-year-old remains unexposed on just her fourth outing over fences. Jemima P bounced back to fill the runner-up spot at Aintree when attempting to make every yard of the running and a similar display here would put her right in the mix. Others for the shortlist include Fix At All and Northern Bound.
Prediction : 1st Ile De Jersey 2nd Jemima P 3rd Fix At All

16:30 Market Rasen

MARAJMAN justified favouritism on the switch to fences over C&D a fortnight ago and a 6lb rise might not be enough to prevent Charles & Adam Pogson's gelding from going in again. Izzy's Champion posted another solid effort in defeat when finishing third at Perth last month and rates the chief threat now off 1lb lower, while High Noon has recorded two of his three successes at this course and warrants respect.
Prediction : 1st Marajman 2nd Izzys Champion 3rd Restandbethankful

17:05 Market Rasen

SIX AND OUT sets a clear standard on his two runner-up efforts in bumpers to date and the five-year-old rates the one to be with on his return from a layoff. Mr Zippi made a fine start to his racing career when winning at Southwell last month, but a 7lb penalty will make life tougher for Sara Ender's charge. Taghadoe has plenty to find with the main protagonists, yet still makes the most appeal of the remaining opposition.
Prediction : 1st Six And Out 2nd Mr Zippi 3rd Taghadoe
