UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Jonjo and A J O'Neill have their horses in good form lately and although point-to-point winner ROADLESSTRAVELLED has not been seen since an easy win at Taylorstown in May last year, he could still be up to winning this as he looks to justify his 215,000-pound price tag. Nigel Twiston-Davies has his string in fine fettle and Jacks Wish could go well at a price, but Tineggiori may be the bigger danger if he brushes up on his hurdling skills.
Prediction : 1st Roadlesstravelled 2nd Tineggiori 3rd Jacks Wish

A small but competitive field for this novice hurdle, and one that may fall the way of J J MOON, who impressed when taking a bumper by over seven lengths at Southwell and makes his hurdling bow here. Lady Jago won on her hurdling debut at Warwick and may go off at the head of the market in this field for the Skeltons, leaving Taras Halls as a tentative suggestion for third spot.
Prediction : 1st J J Moon 2nd Lady Jago 3rd Taras Halls

Pillar Of Steel was a C&D winner as recently as July off 2lb lower, and boasts six wins on the predicted going to his name. The nine-year-old can go well and may follow top-weight COURT IN THE ACT home. The suggestion won a maiden hurdle at Kempton before a second at Ludlow, though his last run at Sandown needs forgiving, albeit in a Class Two handicap. He looks all set for another good season, with Bannister the pick for third.
Prediction : 1st Court In The Act 2nd Pillar Of Steel 3rd Bannister

QUEENS VENTURE has shown only moderate form so far, though gave the impression this extra distance would bring improvement when staying on well for fourth here in July. Dan Skelton's filly should prove competitive at this level on her handicap debut and a bold bid looks likely. A runner-up over 3m at Perth last time, Western Glen has scope for further progress, while Shibuya Song won with a bit in hand at Worcester on her penultimate start and has claims on that form.
Prediction : 1st Queens Venture 2nd Western Glen 3rd Shibuya Song

HIDDEN DEPTHS is an improving chaser and recorded his fourth win over fences with a cosy two-length success at Perth last month. There looks more left in the locker and a 4lb rise may not be enough to anchor him in this. Mylesfromwicklow should be thereabouts once again, though has something to prove off his current mark after returning a beaten favourite over course and distance, while The Doyen Chief is a dual winner over hurdles and should make his mark over fences this season.
Prediction : 1st Hidden Depths 2nd Mylesfromwicklow 3rd The Doyen Chief

An open contest could go to CORNAMONA. The daughter of Doyen didn't show much over hurdles, but she is bred to appreciate a switch to the larger obstacles and could find the necessary improvement today. Filanderer unseated his rider when last seen in May but has the ability to feature granted a clear round, while Copper Beach is also noted.
Prediction : 1st Cornamona 2nd Filanderer 3rd Copper Beach

Playaway Girl is the only one of these with previous experience, but she would need to improve on what she showed at Huntingdon on her debut. Bohemond Antioch looks a likely type on paper and must feature prominently in calculations, but Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero have a decent strike-rate in bumpers and L'AIR DU LARGE may enhance that record. Tilehurst should not be underestimated.
Prediction : 1st Lair Du Large 2nd Bohemond Antioch 3rd Tilehurst
