UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

It takes quite a leap of faith to get behind an 11-year-old maiden, but CAPTAIN JACK doesn't have many miles on the clock for one his age and made a most encouraging beginning to life with James Owen when runner-up over C&D. The performance looks even better now, thanks to the winner going in again subsequently, and he is preferred to Huntingdon second Sailed Away. Nimbus Boy couldn't back up a Hereford triumph at Wincanton but still merits respect.
Prediction : 1st Captain Jack 2nd Sailed Away 3rd Nimbus Boy

Emailandy made the frame in a warm Newbury novice hurdle before finding only one too strong on his handicap debut at Kempton's Christmas fixture. He has the same official rating as MOON D'ORANGE, but the latter finished third in a Cheltenham Grade 2 and, interestingly, new handler Fergal O'Brien has given him a Festival entry. Sao Carlos has shaped with considerable promise so far, particularly when breaking his jumping duck at Wetherby, and must not be taken lightly.
Prediction : 1st Moon Dorange 2nd Emailandy 3rd Sao Carlos

A wind operation and the step into handicap company proved the making of GOOD LORD at Plumpton last week, with the German import sauntering to success. Billy Aprahamian is wise to get him out before the assessor can take revenge and he can go in again. Hara Kiri made a really pleasing return from the sidelines when third on his own handicap bow at Leicester and looks a lively threat. Not much separated Ez Tiger and Greatness Awaits when fourth and fifth at Southwell, in a race where Jumping Jupiter didn't show his true colours.
Prediction : 1st Good Lord 2nd Hara Kiri 3rd Jumping Jupiter

BLUE BIKINI got back on track with an emphatic victory at Catterick in December, taking her record over hurdles to five wins from 10. A subsequent 4lb rise does not look beyond Fergal O'Brien's mare and she gets the nod. Top Cloud goes in search of his hat-trick following wins at Taunton and Ascot. He merits the utmost respect, as does Hashtag Boum, who should not be far away having occupied the runner-up spot on her last two starts.
Prediction : 1st Blue Bikini 2nd Top Cloud 3rd Hashtag Boum

Scene One was said to have been unsuited by heavy ground when pulled up at Fakenham in December, but Lucy Wadham's charge put that blip behind him when winning over 2m3f here last month. A 5lb rise could underestimate the gelding, but EASY BUCKS bolted up at Punchestown on his latest outing and he might be hard to beat with any further progress. Others to note include Geryville and Huntingdon scorer Mixedwave.
Prediction : 1st Easy Bucks 2nd Scene One 3rd Mixedwave

PARK PRINCESS created a big impression when winning by 10 lengths on her racecourse debut at Newbury in December and the daughter of Walk In The Park is hard to oppose as a result. Avakate got the better of Listentoyourheart (second) in a similar event at Doncaster last time and another good run can be expected from Alan King's mare. Others to note are Northern Air and Diva Luna.
Prediction : 1st Park Princess 2nd Avakate 3rd Northern Air

FLEMEN'S TIPPLE bounced back to form when second over 3m1f at Plumpton last time and he could go one better on his chase debut off 2lb higher. Elleon is a consistent performer who has to be of interest following a wind operation since his latest second at Catterick in December. Monaghan Boy edges out Furkash to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Flemens Tipple 2nd Elleon 3rd Monaghan Boy
