UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Hugo Palmer seldom has a runner in this sphere and so Doncaster bumper winner Carved In Stone, who was far from disgraced in a Listed event at Cheltenham in January, warrants closer inspection on his hurdles debut. Boyles Hill sets the standard and he looks set to go close, but CUSACK PARK shades preference. The five-year-old took a big leap forward when sent over hurdles on good ground at Southwell in May, finishing second, and this is a good opportunity to go one better.
Prediction : 1st Cusack Park 2nd Carved In Stone 3rd Boyles Hill

GLOBAL ESTEEM arrives having struck on the Flat at Sandown recently. Fergal O'Brien's charge has yet to open his account over timber but there have been a number of solid performances in defeat, and any further improvement can see him break through. Dodger Long hasn't been seen since winning at Taunton in March but he will be a real threat if returning in a similar vein of form, while others to note include Rockchoeur and Raincloud.
Prediction : 1st Global Esteem 2nd Dodger Long 3rd Rockchoeur

The vote goes to DREAM JET, who was able to exploit a drop in the handicap when winning over this course and distance last month. Brian Ellison's six-year-old takes on some more exposed rivals here and, although a 7lb rise will ask sterner questions of him, the son of Jet Away might have more in the locker. Clean Getaway struggled at Stratford last time out but he's unbeaten (2-2) over fences here and must enter calculations. Blueberry Wine drops in class and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Dream Jet 2nd Clean Getaway 3rd Blueberry Wine

Having scored in commanding fashion over 2m5f at Cartmel on his latest outing, this represents a good opportunity for TUPELO MISSISSIPPI to follow up that success. Brian Ellison's charge has been raised 5lb in the ratings for that victory, which the nine-year-old can take in his stride. Golfe Clair is likely to appreciate this better ground and he shaped as if this extra yardage would suit when running on well for third over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month, while G A Henty can also have a say.
Prediction : 1st Tupelo Mississippi 2nd Golfe Clair 3rd G A Henty

Narrowly touched off over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last month, HARDY BOY looks primed to go one better. Ben Pauling's charge was only beaten a nose on that occasion, shaping as if this extra yardage would suit, and a 2lb rise doesn't appear likely to be an issue. Last-time-out winner Royal Pretender also commands respect after a comfortable success over 2m6f at Stratford, but a 5lb hike makes life tougher, while Charles St completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Hardy Boy 2nd Royal Pretender 3rd Charles St

BUCK OF MAINE ran a solid race, shaping as if this extra yardage could be the perfect tonic, when third over the extended 2m3f at Stratford last month. Peter and Michael Bowen's five-year-old was beaten just one and three-quarter lengths on that occasion and this mark of 75 looks exploitable. Noah's Light was a bloodless winner over 2m5f at Newton Abbot but a 9lb rise in the ratings could prove difficult to negotiate, while Warner's Cross makes some appeal too.
Prediction : 1st Buck Of Maine 2nd Noahs Light 3rd Warners Cross

This shouldn't take much winning and it looks a good opportunity for UNWANTED ATTENTION, who has run well in defeat on both starts since scoring over this C&D off 10lb lower in June and another bold bid seems assured. Eightytwo Team has posted some good efforts in defeat this summer and she should see out the trip better than most, while Pawpaw has dropped to a fair mark and could be worth a second look.
Prediction : 1st Unwanted Attention 2nd Eightytwo Team 3rd Pawpaw

CLIMATE PRECEDENT burnt the fingers of favourite-backers when not beaten far into third over slightly further here in June, but he encountered traffic problems that day and could be worth another chance. Dan Skelton's four-year-old looked to be getting the hang of things when scoring in style at Stratford the time before and his trainer has a good record at the Lincolnshire track in recent years. Evenwood Sonofagun finished ahead of a subsequent winner when runner-up over a similar trip on his latest outing and should have his say, while Callin Baton Rouge won well over 2m at Uttoxeter last month, but stepping up in trip off a 6lb higher mark will ask more questions of her.
Prediction : 1st Climate Precedent 2nd Evenwood Sonofagun 3rd Callin Baton Rouge
