UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

While a few of these arrive with something to prove, the same can't be said for ASA, a decisive winner over 2m6f at Cartmel last month. First-time cheekpieces (retained) were worn that day and should she progress further in them, a subsequent 8lb hike in the ratings might prove lenient. Ten Ten Twenty kept on into second over 2m at Worcester last time out and he is of interest upped in distance, while veteran 12-year-old Mackie Dee is no forlorn hope.
Prediction : 1st Asa 2nd Ten Ten Twenty 3rd Mackie Dee

Given that Bullion Boss kept on well over 2m7f here last month, a drop in trip might not be ideal, but he must be respected in what looks a moderate affair. Preference, however, is for LENEBANE, who bounced back to form when filling the runner-up spot over C&D last month. A similar performance could see the mare strike at the 16th time of asking. Kopa Kilana is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Lenebane 2nd Bullion Boss 3rd Kopa Kilana

Point-to-point winner O'GRADY'S HILL was sent off favourite for a bumper at Uttoxeter on her Rules debut last month, finishing second, and she is taken to progress for the switch to obstacles. Hamartia sets the standard with an official rating of 101 and she is unlikely to be far away, while others to note include Beau Della and the Fergal O'Brien-trained Gentle Life.
Prediction : 1st Ogradys Hill 2nd Hamartia 3rd Beau Della

Having scored comfortably over 2m at Uttoxeter last month, Baskerville brings plenty of potential into handicaps and he merits serious consideration on his first start in this sphere. That said, preference is for RIVER ROBE. Dan Skelton's charge was last seen running out a ready winner of a C&D handicap on her stable debut and, for a yard which tends to excel with these types, the suspicion is that an 11lb hike may not be enough to anchor her. Noble Anthem has an interesting profile and completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st River Robe 2nd Baskerville 3rd Noble Anthem

Clean Getaway (first) got the better of DON OCCHETTI (second) when the pair met over this track and trip last month but, with the latter much better off at the weights here, it would be no surprise if Dan Skelton's charge was able to reverse the form. Gallow Ford was the subject of market support when disappointing over 2m7f at Worcester latest, but his mark continues to fall and, sporting first-time blinkers on his second start after wind surgery, he cannot be overlooked.
Prediction : 1st Don Occhetti 2nd Clean Getaway 3rd Gallow Ford

SAINT ARVANS shaped better than the bare result suggests when staying on well to finish fourth in a warm handicap over C&D last time out and, eased 1lb, a bold showing looks assured. Jerrash clearly relished dropping in trip when running out an easy winner over an extended 2m4f at Bangor recently, and he is respected despite an 8lb rise, while The Big Lense was last seen winning gamely over hurdles at Southwell and is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Saint Arvans 2nd Jerrash 3rd The Big Lense

Now that the penny has dropped for PHIL DE PAIL after a commanding success at Uttoxeter last time out, the seven-year-old is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming as he looks to overcome a 7lb rise. Hall Lane has been relatively disappointing since a strong runner-up effort at Southwell in April, but stepping up in trip could be the making of him, while Morning Spirit is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Phil De Pail 2nd Hall Lane 3rd Morning Spirit

MONTANA GOLDEN came from off the pace to finish an encouraging second on debut at Worcester last month and the extra yardage here should be in his favour as he looks to go one better. The son of Mount Nelson sets the standard on form and it may be newcomer You Moved On who follows him home for a stable with an excellent record at this track. I'd Go Maniac got the hang of things late in the day when sixth on debut at Lingfield and could step forward.
Prediction : 1st Montana Golden 2nd You Moved On 3rd Id Go Maniac
