GALE MAHLER makes her hurdling bow after a pair of bumper victories at Southwell and Kelso. The five-year-old has progressed with each start and may prove a tough nut to crack again, especially now moving up in distance. Trudie Glen is capable of stepping forward from her first attempt over timber when runner-up at Southwell, while Stuti and Brave Jen are others worth considering.
Prediction : 1st Gale Mahler 2nd Trudie Glen 3rd Stuti

A drop in trip worked extremely well for The Electrician, who ran out a wide-margin winner over C&D last month. That said, a 9lb rise surely makes things tougher and a less exposed rival in the shape of IMPERIAL RULE may take advantage. The seven-year-old didn't feature at all in three runs over hurdles before looking a different proposition on his chasing debut at Perth, and he is more than capable of improving again from that victory. Unwanted Attention and Ribeye appeal most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Imperial Rule 2nd The Electrician 3rd Unwanted Attention

SUPREME YEATS made the ideal start for Dan Skelton with a comfortable victory at Stratford last weekend and may prove tough to beat under a 7lb penalty. The handicapper reacted by putting him up the same amount as the penalty and it won't be a major surprise if he is capable of running up a sequence in the coming weeks. Summergrounds has to be a threat following last month's C&D success along with the runner-up from that contest, Misty Mani.
Prediction : 1st Supreme Yeats 2nd Summergrounds 3rd Misty Mani

Having finished a respectable second on his return to hurdles at Fakenham last weekend, STAR LEGEND makes plenty of appeal on this quick turnaround. Promising claimer Ciaran O'Shea takes off a handy 7lb, which could prove pivotal in an open contest. The biggest threat may emerge from If Karl's Berg Did, who made an encouraging stable/seasonal bow when third at Uttoxeter. The consistent Awesome Foursome is also likely to be on the premises.
Prediction : 1st Star Legend 2nd If Karls Berg Did 3rd Awesome Foursome

Having posted a career-best performance when landing a competitive 17-runner affair at Sandown at the end of April, Ike Sport cannot be taken lightly on his current upward trajectory. However, an 11lb hike could be enough to prevent him from following up, with ALL THE GLORY edging the vote. The Jonjo O'Neill-trained mare looks to have more to come over this distance and she can put a fall in the Swinton at Haydock behind her. Pyramid Place and Hecouldbetheone are also noted.
Prediction : 1st All The Glory 2nd Ike Sport 3rd Pyramid Place

16:20 Market Rasen

ISHOLO DU VIVIEN was having only his second outing over the larger obstacles when scoring easily at Stratford. Donald McCain's charge can shrug off a penalty and go in again in this company. Beauty To Behold has gone close over hurdles on more than one occasion and her rider's 7lb allowance helps her cause. She makes more appeal than Don Occhetti and Uncle Mac of those chasing for the first time.
Prediction : 1st Isholo Du Vivien 2nd Beauty To Behold 3rd Don Occhetti

16:50 Market Rasen

GERARD MENTOR finished a creditable fourth at Ludlow last time and that race is working out well, with the winner going in again and the runner-up subsequently scoring at Fontwell. Albert Park hasn't done too badly since going handicapping and can figure, while Cofficionado posted a better effort on his handicap debut and cannot be left out of calculations. Cher Tara is fancied to improve from her own handicap bow.
Prediction : 1st Gerard Mentor 2nd Albert Park 3rd Cher Tara
