UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

CHICAGO GAL bounced back to form when filling second place over 2m at Wetherby last time and the five-year-old merits the utmost respect off a 1lb higher mark here. Mount Ferns has improved with each start in novice/maiden company and should not be discounted on his handicap debut, while Record Art and Lenebane are others who make the shortlist in an open event.
Prediction : 1st Chicago Gal 2nd Mount Ferns 3rd Record Art

CAN'T RESIST IT showed plenty of promise when third on his hurdling/stable debut over 2m at Huntingdon earlier in the year and it would be no surprise to see him get off the mark in this moderate event. Ittack Blue has yet to live up to his 310,000gns price tag but Dan Skelton's gelding remains the main threat to the selection. Inca displayed some ability between the flags and is next best.
Prediction : 1st Cant Resist It 2nd Ittack Blue 3rd Inca

Soft ground appeared to be against TITANIUM BULLET at Catterick and he is best judged on his close fourth there the time before. A reproduction of that level of form here could see the six-year-old come in front off a 2lb lower mark. Friary Rock is another to consider, despite an underwhelming Musselburgh effort when last seen. Okavango Delta and Our Bill's Aunt complete the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Titanium Bullet 2nd Friary Rock 3rd Okavango Delta

Four-time course winner (including this race 12 months ago) Giovanni Change loves it around here and must enter calculations on his first outing since Boxing Day, while For Gina and Porter In The Park are others to note. However, victories at Ludlow and Hereford last month show LEGIONAR to be arriving at the top of his game and he looks capable of defying a further 4lb rise in the ratings.
Prediction : 1st Legionar 2nd Giovanni Change 3rd For Gina

BETTY BALOO is arguably the most consistent of these and has every chance of following up last year's success, despite racing off a 5lb higher mark. She chased home a subsequent winner on her only outing since, over hurdles at this venue, and the 336-day layoff isn't too much of a concern as she tends to run well fresh. Cerendipity looks an obvious danger following his Bangor triumph, while Risk And Roll's latest Ascot effort gives him a squeak.
Prediction : 1st Betty Baloo 2nd Cerendipity 3rd Risk And Roll

MR HOPE STREET burst into life when opening his account over C&D last month and a 6lb higher mark is unlikely to be the ceiling of his ability. The Dan Skelton-trained six-year-old should prove hard to beat in his bid to follow up. Handicap debutant Get A Superstar is a potential improver on this rise in distance and could chase the selection home, ahead of the returning Warner's Cross.
Prediction : 1st Mr Hope Street 2nd Get A Superstar 3rd Warners Cross

The application of first-time cheekpieces helped She's A Rocca get her head back in front by the narrowest of margins at Southwell in October. She must enter calculations off only 3lb higher, but IRON HEART may offer more value. The Bowens' seven-year-old should relish quicker ground conditions and he's been far from disgraced in his last two defeats. Fox's Socks and Pollypockett also look capable of featuring at this level.
Prediction : 1st Iron Heart 2nd Shes A Rocca 3rd Foxs Socks
