UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Lightly-raced five-year-old FINN LOUGH has plenty of scope for progression and after his respectable second-placed finish on his handicap debut/first run after wind surgery at Stratford, a 4lb higher mark might not be enough to prevent him from going one better. Uttoxeter winner McGowan's Pass is capable of making this a tougher test for the selection, while Lone Star and Jaxonne are a couple of other strong contenders in this company.
Prediction : 1st Finn Lough 2nd McGowans Pass 3rd Lone Star

Happy Place is in the right hands to make progress now she has switched codes and is one to monitor closely in the betting on her debut for Dan Skelton. Similar comments apply to Smooth Transition and Trafalgar Square. However, just a nose separated On The Bubble and KAARESS at Hexham 13 days ago and although the former edged the verdict that day, Ollie Pears' filly has a 7lb pull at the weights and can draw on the experience to turn the form around.
Prediction : 1st Kaaress 2nd On The Bubble 3rd Happy Place

Ryan Mania and LEADING FORCE teamed up for a comfortable success at Sedgefield last month and, from just 5lb higher, there are solid foundations to stick with the proven winning partnership. Hall Lane is shaping up nicely over fences and rates the chief threat to the selection given he has previous C&D experience. Fazayte is 3-7 in this discipline and is dangerous to underestimate from just 4lb above his last winning mark.
Prediction : 1st Leading Force 2nd Hall Lane 3rd Fazayte

ITTACK BLUE made every yard to justify his short odds and record a double over track and trip last month and he now makes his handicap debut. Dan Skelton's six-year-old could have any amount of improvement to come and he looks difficult to oppose. Chaos Control wasn't disgraced in fourth in a class 3 event over an extended 2m4f here on the same card and he could get involved off a 2lb lower rating, while Parvos can fight it out for the minor honours.
Prediction : 1st Ittack Blue 2nd Chaos Control 3rd Parvos

GREAT SAMOURAI accounted for his nearest rival by over six lengths in this grade at Huntingdon last month and he is only 7lb higher for that triumph. The seven-year-old could have similar conditions to contend with and he looks the one to beat again. The main danger might be Stormin Crossgales, who was given a fine ride when scoring by a neck, also at Huntingdon, and can have a say off a 5lb higher rating. Gower Prince is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Great Samourai 2nd Stormin Crossgales 3rd Gower Prince

Clatterbridge was seen in a much better light when stepping up in trip on his handicap debut, going in by a neck at Uttoxeter, and he should remain competitive off 3lb higher. However, he could come out second best to COILROCK, who had Fantomas one place behind when filling the runner-up spot over 3m at Ludlow. The seven-year-old remains on the same mark and can confirm that form to go one better. Kapamazov completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Coilrock 2nd Clatterbridge 3rd Kapamazov
