UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

THE RESDEV TYKE benefited from more positive tactics when getting off the mark at Wetherby on Boxing Day. The five-year-old was particularly strong in the market on that occasion and a 6lb rise might not be enough to stop him following up. Shan't Wait improved plenty for a wind operation as he filled the runner-up spot at Southwell last month, while C&D winner Bluenose Belle is capable of a decent showing.
Prediction : 1st The Resdev Tyke 2nd Shant Wait 3rd Bluenose Belle

HOLD THE SERVE disappointed on his Rules debut at Cheltenham in November, but left that effort behind when presented with an easier opportunity at Wincanton. Lewis Saunders helps to negate most of his 7lb penalty and he is expected to be too strong for the opposition. Shotgun Rider finished tired over a longer trip at Leicester on testing ground and is capable of better, while Hereford runner-up Constantinian heads the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Hold The Serve 2nd Shotgun Rider 3rd Constantinian

AVADA KEDAVRA appears to have turned a corner since being stepped up in trip and arrives following successes at Taunton and Plumpton. A 5lb rise for his most recent victory seems more than fair and David Bridgwater's gelding is taken to land the hat-trick. Gotthereintheend won as she pleased here on Boxing Day and has to be respected, despite going up 9lb. Others to note are Princesse Milania and Born In The West.
Prediction : 1st Avada Kedavra 2nd Gotthereintheend 3rd Princesse Milania

MAHONS GLORY was far from disgraced when filling fifth place in the Becher Chase at Aintree, where the trip probably stretched his stamina. Fourth in the Grand Sefton there prior to that, the 10-year-old is likely to go well if transferring that form to regulation fences. Doyen Du Bar remains unexposed for a horse of his age and Nicky Richards' gelding should not be underestimated. Bill Baxter and Filanderer enter the equation too.
Prediction : 1st Mahons Glory 2nd Doyen Du Bar 3rd Bill Baxter

Katios Queen was third in a similar event at Huntingdon last month and is likely to go very well once again, but preference is for RED WINE SUPERNOVA. David Pipe's mare created a good impression when winning on her Rules bow at Sedgefield on Boxing Day and she is likely to have plenty of improvement forthcoming. The Flaggy Shore edges out Malina Road and Lady Litigator to be best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Red Wine Supernova 2nd Katios Queen 3rd The Flaggy Shore

Having finished runner-up on three of his last four outings, El Rojo Grande must enter calculations. A repeat of his latest effort at Warwick is sure to see him involved but he may have to play second fiddle once more, with HAWK STONE edging the vote. The seven-year-old shaped well on his third-placed reappearance over hurdles at Leicester and may take some stopping if adapting to chasing. Icare Colombe is also worth a second look now dropping in trip and class.
Prediction : 1st Hawk Stone 2nd El Rojo Grande 3rd Icare Colombe

Although thwarted in her bid to complete a double, REALTA LIATH lost little in defeat when finishing a close-up third at Cheltenham. A 2lb nudge up the ratings is unlikely to stop the seven-year-old's progress over fences and she should take all the beating if handling this step up in trip. Get Up Mush is entitled to build on his reappearance seventh at Wetherby and isn't taken lightly, with dual C&D winner Giovanni Change another of interest.
Prediction : 1st Realta Liath 2nd Get Up Mush 3rd Giovanni Change
