UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

PERCY VEERING bounced back to form when second over 3m on his seasonal return here in November and that was the eight-year-old's first start since a wind operation. With the promise of more to come, he tops the shortlist. Basford also hit the crossbar last time and could prove to be the main threat, although Fern Hill and Concetto have the ability to go well.
Prediction : 1st Percy Veering 2nd Basford 3rd Fern Hill

WELLINGTON ARCH clearly sets the standard having won over 2m1f at Carlisle in December and the six-year-old was second in a similar event under a penalty at this venue last time. A reproduction of either of those efforts may well be good enough to see off Indemnity, who showed some promise when fourth on his hurdling debut last month. Fidendum lacks a recent run but completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Wellington Arch 2nd Indemnity 3rd Fidendum

MOONSET confirmed the promise that he displayed in a bumper when once again filling second place on his hurdling debut at Worcester in September. On that evidence, Neil Mulholland's gelding could take plenty of stopping in this company, despite the 174-day break. Lady Kluck should not be discounted on her first start over timber, while Mohawk Chief and Idaho Valley are the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Moonset 2nd Lady Kluck 3rd Mohawk Chief

REALISATION wasn't at her best in a deeper race at Cheltenham most recently but the combination of a drop in class and a slightly longer trip could be beneficial factors as the Charlie Longsdon-trained mare bids to get off the mark over fences at just the fourth time of asking. Hold Up La Colmine has also shown promise since being sent chasing and is feared most, while Kandor is another notable option for an in-form yard.
Prediction : 1st Realisation 2nd Hold Up La Colmine 3rd Kandor

Shengai Enki was a decisive winner under today's rider at Fontwell nine days ago and is a must for the shortlist turned out again quickly under a 7lb penalty. However, THE BLUEBERRY ONE returned to action with a good second at Ffos Las in January and, open to any amount of improvement after that encouraging handicap bow, he is taken to defy a 4lb higher mark. Nollyador escapes a penalty for winning a conditional jockeys' event at Hereford last month and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st The Blueberry One 2nd Shengai Enki 3rd Nollyador

The fitting of a first-time visor worked the oracle for Alto Alto when making all at Plumpton last month and a 4lb higher mark shouldn't prevent another bold bid. However, all five of the eight-year-old's victories have come at the East Sussex venue and C&D winner DENEMETHY rates a more solid proposition. The Fergal O'Brien-trained gelding arrives on the back of a solid second at Leicester and a return to the scene of his last triumph may prove fruitful. Unexposed chaser Homme D'Un Soir is also noted reverting to this discipline.
Prediction : 1st Denemethy 2nd Alto Alto 3rd Homme DUn Soir

A step up in distance did the trick for last month's 2m7f Bangor winner COASTAL ROCK and he looks to have more to come over the same trip today. A 5lb rise in the ratings looks far from insurmountable for Olly Murphy's inmate and a brace could be on the cards. A 74-day break appeared to freshen up recent Huntingdon scorer Jubilant and, despite a 10lb hike in the handicap, he's feared most. Belvedere Blast may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Coastal Rock 2nd Jubilant 3rd Belvedere Blast
