UK Horse Racing Tips: Market Rasen

SENATOR built on a promising British/hurdling debut to fill the runner-up spot at Chepstow three weeks ago and could be hard to beat if improving again. My Kinda Ghaiy probably took a backward step at Wetherby but it's far too early to be writing him off, as it is with Nicky Henderson's Macshadow Des Crai, who didn't run too badly at Ascot.
Prediction : 1st Senator 2nd My Kinda Ghaiy 3rd Macshadow Des Crai

Watamu was getting 7lb from Khrisma when holding on for a narrow win at Huntingdon and she's likely to struggle to confirm that form but, even so, preference is for GETAWHISKY. Dan Skelton's mare fell at Ascot in November, but put that behind her to record a cosy success at Windsor and it's quite possible that she'll find further progress. Chepstow winner Charisma Cat arrives with a fair chance, and don't rule out Edith Pelham, who made a pleasing hurdles debut at Warwick.
Prediction : 1st Getawhisky 2nd Khrisma 3rd Charisma Cat

Florita made it two from three over fences when keeping her unbeaten course record intact recently. She does have stamina to prove at this longer trip, though, so it might be wiser to side with ALLTALKNOACTION. The six-year-old hit the woodwork over C&D on Boxing Day but did pull well clear with the winner, meaning a 4lb rise could be lenient. Alice Stevens got a tune out of Worth The Walk last time and she won't be far away if reproducing those levels.
Prediction : 1st Alltalknoaction 2nd Florita 3rd Worth The Walk

Although the strength of the form is up for debate, MADAME LUNA is now three out of three and that should not be underestimated. The daughter of Sea The Moon steps into handicaps from a mark of 110, which looks fair, and her jumping is a real asset. Railway Bell went clear up the run-in at Ludlow so is likely to do even better upped in trip. The hat-trick seeking Snowrocco might still be ahead of the handicapper, despite a further 9lb hike.
Prediction : 1st Madame Luna 2nd Railway Bell 3rd Snowrocco

Parish Quiz burst back into life when upped to this sort of trip in the mud at Newcastle, although he isn't guaranteed to back it up so preference is for LITTLE LEDGEND. Olly Murphy's six-year-old has had to settle for second as favourite on his last two appearances, but he lost nothing in defeat and is fancied to break through. Tzarmix is holding his form well, and Aire Spray shouldn't be far away either.
Prediction : 1st Little Ledgend 2nd Parish Quiz 3rd Tzarmix

ERIC CARMEN has won two of his three starts since returning and teaming up with Ben Macey, with those victories coming over the smaller obstacles. He hasn't been quite as effective in this sphere, but is able to compete from the mark from which he struck at Wetherby most recently and can take full advantage. Windsurfer is also well treated over fences and drops in class, although Tramuntana could be the bigger threat, with cheekpieces applied for his chasing debut.
Prediction : 1st Eric Carmen 2nd Tramuntana 3rd Windsurfer

Freeriding has a speedy Flat pedigree so while the trip has to be a slight concern, Olly Murphy has a good record in bumpers here so she commands attention. Even so, JESSMARVEL showed a decent level of ability when fifth at Aintree, with a couple of those in front of him tackling Listed company next time. That experience gives him the edge and Superior Queen also has a run under her belt, although she must take a step forward from her Uttoxeter fourth.
Prediction : 1st Jessmarvel 2nd Freeriding 3rd Superior Queen
