UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

Now that the penny has dropped for HENRYSBROTHERJACK after a comfortable success at Uttoxeter in December, the six-year-old is likely to have plenty more improvement forthcoming and he can follow up off 10lb higher. A creditable second over C&D last time out, Jingle Jangle Jet is entitled to be thereabouts, along with Gms Prince, who wasn't beaten far over shorter here on his most recent outing.
Prediction : 1st Henrysbrotherjack 2nd Jingle Jangle Jet 3rd Gms Prince

Runner-up to a subsequent Grade 1 winner at Chepstow on his Rules debut, BELLIANO has since scored with authority at Ascot and there looks to be plenty of potential in this son of Black Sam Bellamy. A 6lb penalty will make life tougher but he should have enough to see off I'm A Lumberjack, who was well on top at the finish when getting off the mark at Warwick in December. Silver Thorn may be suited by dropping back in trip and is a player for an in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st Belliano 2nd Im A Lumberjack 3rd Silver Thorn

ASA may not have impressed with her jumping when scoring over C&D last time out but she had plenty in hand and conditions look to be in her favour again as she seeks a double. A 5lb rise could prove lenient for Philip Kirby's mare, and it may be that the recent Catterick scorer Emotional Roller gives her the most to think about. Gavroche D'allier and Socialiser are capable of being in the shake-up as well.
Prediction : 1st Asa 2nd Emotional Roller 3rd Socialiser

The well-handicapped TREASURED COMPANY returned from a short break with a solid effort when third at Wetherby's Boxing Day fixture and is an attractive proposition nudged up just 1lb here. Rock On Tommy is closely matched with the selection on past form and warrants close inspection. Morandi Second and Adaay Forever, who tries a first-time visor, both have scope for progression over hurdles and also warrant serious thought.
Prediction : 1st Treasured Company 2nd Rock On Tommy 3rd Morandi Second

COURT CIAN was a ready winner over this trip at Fakenham last month and is hard to oppose despite a 10lb higher mark imposed for that bloodless 16-length success. Hardy Fella and Rialannah should at least be able to make a fist of things based on their resurgent recent efforts, with the former looking the chief threat to the selection after a near miss at Wincanton 19 days ago.
Prediction : 1st Court Cian 2nd Hardy Fella 3rd Rialannah

HEARD THAT justified favouritism in good style over 2m4f at Huntingdon last month and is only 7lb higher. Olly Murphy's six-year-old can cope with this step back up in distance to make it three wins from his last four starts. Peejaybee finished over seven lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over C&D on his latest outing and could mount a bold bid off just 2lb higher, while Concetto is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Heard That 2nd Peejaybee 3rd Concetto

La Zoubida showed ability when second on her bumper debut at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and she could have a say. However, it's hard to ignore the claims of point-to-point winner LADY KLUCK, who was successful in convincing style at the same venue earlier in December. Dan Skelton's five-year-old has a 7lb penalty to shoulder, but that is unlikely to prevent her from following up. Any market confidence behind newcomer Baby Thyme would be interesting.
Prediction : 1st Lady Kluck 2nd La Zoubida 3rd Baby Thyme
