1st (3) Kingfast (5.5/1 +21%)
Kingfast

5.5
5.5/1(+21%)
(3) Kingfast 5.5/1, Fair performer on the Flat several years ago. Largely strugged since hurdle debut second in September 2010 but not with this yard long and this return to a shorter trip should help. Not dismissed from falling mark.
Safely held on all three starts since returning from mammoth absence in February.
7
2nd (7) George Mallory (8/1 +43%)
George Mallory

8
8/1(+43%)
(7) George Mallory 8/1, First past the post at Uttoxeter last summer (subsequently disqualified for a banned substance). Returned from 4 months off to finish second at Southwell in November but off again until below par in 2 runs this spring. Bounce back needed.
Has a very mixed record over hurdles but can't be ruled out off his lowly mark.
1
3rd (1) Lenebane (12/1 -71%)
Lenebane

12
12/1(-71%)
(1) Lenebane 12/1, Displayed a fair level of ability in Irish maiden hurdles for Ross O'Sullivan. Below that level in 2 outings for new yard during the winter but may fare better now handicapping after a short break. Also has cheekpieces added.
Placed in Ireland last year but hasn't fired for new yard; cheekpieces on for h'cap debut.
9
4th (9) Clean Getaway (9/1 +0%)
Clean Getaway

9
9/1(+0%)
(9) Clean Getaway 9/1, Didn't make much of an impact in 4 starts for Nicky Henderson. Has also yet to get really competitive for this yard either but he travelled well until possibly having his stamina stretched over 20.5f at Southwell latest. May do better back at shorter.
Disappointing maiden who was beaten about 30l when fourth at Southwell last month.
8
5th (8) One Man Party (3/1 +33%)
One Man Party

3
3/1(+33%)
(8) One Man Party 3/1, Related to plenty of winners and looked to be in the process of showing improved form (tracking leaders and yet to be asked for effort) when falling 3 out on Plumpton handicap debut 19 days ago. Interesting runner.
In touch and going okay before falling at third-last flight on handicap debut.
2
6th (2) Uncle Arthur (6/1 +40%)
Uncle Arthur

6
6/1(+40%)
(2) Uncle Arthur 6/1, Bumper winner lsat summer. Has disappointingly failed to better poor form over hurdles but it's still fairly early days.
Well beaten in first two handicaps and arrives with quite a bit to prove.
6
7th (6) Syr Maffos (3.5/1 +13%)
Syr Maffos

3.5
3.5/1(+13%)
(6) Syr Maffos 3.5/1, Blinkered, offered more than previously when fourth of 14 in 2m Taunton handicap last month. That gives him something to build on. One of the more likely types.
Sound effort when fourth at Taunton last month, and that form has already worked out well.
12
8th (12) Naasik (80/1 -60%)
Naasik

80
80/1(-60%)
(12) Naasik 80/1, Remains a maiden after 31 runs and faces another uphill task from 7 lb out of the handicap.
0-27 over hurdles and absent since some heavy defeats in summer/autumn 2021.
11
9th (11) Ravi Road (28/1 -100%)
Ravi Road

28
28/1(-100%)
(11) Ravi Road 28/1, Modest maiden on the Flat and achieved very little in 4 hurdles in recent months. More chance in handicaps but tough to make a good case for.
Didn't show a great deal in three maidens last season but might get more competitive here.
5
10th (5) Princess Poppy (22/1 -175%)
Princess Poppy

22
22/1(-175%)
(5) Princess Poppy 22/1, Yet to show much but handicaps provide her with a much more realistic chance. One to note in the betting.
Shaped with promise in Stratford maiden last month; should improve in handicaps.
10
11th (10) Solid Fuel (14/1 +58%)
Solid Fuel

14
14/1(+58%)
(10) Solid Fuel 14/1, Fair form when second in a Huntingdon bumper last spring but hasn't made much of an impact in his 7 outings over hurdles.
Had chance to cause a shock when badly hampered two starts ago but tailed off since.
13
12th (13) L'es Fremantle (250/1 -150%)
L'es Fremantle

250
250/1(-150%)
(13) L'es Fremantle 250/1, Course chase winner but it'sd a long time since he's shown anything of worth.
Veteran who gained his only win from 99 career starts in 2018; 9lb out of the weights.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

It is difficult to confidently predict which horse will do well based on this summary. However, some horses that may have a chance of finishing in the top three are: 3.5/1 (6) SYR MAFFOS, 3/1 (8) ONE MAN PARTY, and 12/1 (1) LENEBANE (if they fare better now handicapping).

This represents a drop in class for Lenebane, who is expected to improve at this level. However, she does have to shoulder top-weight, so SYR MAFFOS shades the vote. Even though he finished a rather distant fourth over an extended 2m at Taunton last month, he is now rated 3lb lower and looks the one to side with. The unexposed Princess Poppy is another to bear in mind on her handicap debut.

ONE MAN PARTY looked menacing when falling 3 out on his recent handicap debut and might be worth siding with in a race where few arrive with compelling claims. There were better signs from Syr Maffos at Taunton last time so he's a possible threat, while Kingfast hasn't been with the Fergal O'Brien stable for long and this return to a shorter trip should help.

Tom Lacey's SYR MAFFOS seemed to have turned a corner when fourth behind two subsequent winners at Taunton last month. He gets the nod.

1
1st (1) Carrarea (0.57/1 +29%)
Carrarea

0.57
0.57/1(+29%)
(1) Carrarea 0.57/1, Dual bumper winner who went very close to opening his hurdles account in 19f maiden at Kilbeggan on his final outing for Emmet Mullins in September. Well held in a first-time tongue strap on stable debut at Warwick but was probably unsuited by the combination of trip/ground. Sets the standard.
Useful form when trained in Ireland and didn't run badly when remote third on stable debut.

Absolute Ruler

12
12/1(+14%)
(5) Absolute Ruler 12/1, Useful performer at 2 yrs on Flat for Donnacha Aidan O'Brien but had made little impact since. Tongue tied for hurdle debut.
Smart 2yo in Ireland but has become very disappointing on the Flat; hurdle debut.

4
4th (4) Tommouse (7.5/1 +12%)
Tommouse

7.5
7.5/1(+12%)
(4) Tommouse 7.5/1, Getaway gelding. Half-brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser Run To Milan (2¼m-3m winner). Shaped as if better for the run with a hood fitted when fifth of 13 in a maiden hurdle at Southwell on last month's Rules debut and should do better, especially when upped in trip.
Shaped with significant promise when fifth at Southwell last month and should progress.
6
5th (6) My Brother Jack (2.5/1 -25%)
My Brother Jack

2.5
2.5/1(-25%)
(6) My Brother Jack 2.5/1, Modest Flat winner who found only one too good on his 3 starts over hurdles, overdoing the forcing tactics at Musselburgh in November. Didn't seem at home in the mud after 5 months off when third at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago and major player now returned to better ground. Cheekpieces on for 1st time.
Placed on all four hurdling starts, and heavy ground probably wasn't ideal last time.
3
6th (3) Smart Connection (200/1 -33%)
Smart Connection

200
200/1(-33%)
(3) Smart Connection 200/1, Fair at best on Flat for Alice Haynes but no show for this yard and has failed to complete both starts in maiden hurdles (ran out after trying to refuse on most recent outing).
Out of form on AW for this stable and didn't get far on first two hurdling starts.
7
7th (7) Beautiful Surprise (50/1 -100%)
Beautiful Surprise

50
50/1(-100%)
(7) Beautiful Surprise 50/1, Fair handicapper on the Flat but well held both completed start over hurdles.
Fair on the Flat but has made disappointing start to hurdling career.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Based on the summary provided, 0.8/1 (1) CARRAREA seems to be the strongest contender and sets the standard. 2/1 (6) MY BROTHER JACK could also be a major player if returned to better ground with cheekpieces on for the first time. 8.5/1 (4) TOMMOUSE has shown promise and could progress with an increase in trip. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be: 1. 0.8/1 (1) CARRAREA 2. 2/1 (6) MY BROTHER JACK 3. 8.5/1 (4) TOMMOUSE

MY BROTHER JACK receives a handy weight-for-age allowance here and must hold every chance of building on a fair third over 2m1f at Sedgefield last month. The gelded son of Decorated Knight sports first-time cheekpieces and the booking of Brian Hughes makes the four-year-old of significant interest. Carrarea finished 57 lengths back in third over 2m5f at Warwick in March and can benefit from a shorter stamina test, while Tommouse looks the pick of the remainder.

MY BROTHER JACK hardly looked at home on more testing ground than previously after 5 months off when third at Sedgefield 4 weeks ago, so much better is expected of him now returned to more suitable conditions. He gets the narrow vote over standard-setter Carrarea in what is likely to prove a match unless Tommouse takes a step forward.

He found 2m5f on soft ground too taxing on his stable debut but CARRAREA will be hard to beat if somewhere near his best here.

1st (8) Betty Baloo (2.25/1 +44%)
Betty Baloo

2.25
2.25/1(+44%)
(8) Betty Baloo 2.25/1, Dual bumper/hurdles scorer who accounted for next-time-out winner Credo in a mares' handicap at Catterick in February. Doubled her tally in this sphere with plenty to spare over C&D last month and she's a major player, despite going up 7 lb.
Has won two of her last three races, the latest over C&D; up 7lb and in grade; a possible.
3
2nd (3) Frenchy Du Large (4/1 -14%)
Frenchy Du Large

4
4/1(-14%)
(3) Frenchy Du Large 4/1, Dual 2½m winner during 2021/22 campaign and posted one of his best efforts since that double when runner-up in first-time cheekpieces (retained) at Haydock (25.6f, good to firm) last month. Major player.
All wins over shorter but seems to stay 3m1f; fair second in cheekpieces (retained) latest.
9
3rd (9) Ladronne (3.33/1 +67%)
Ladronne

3.33
3.33/1(+67%)
(9) Ladronne 3.33/1, Successful at Wetherby and Catterick during the autumn, and good second at the former course off a 1 lb higher mark in March. Creditable fourth of 13 at Ayr (24.3f, good) last time and he's not without a chance.
Has plenty to find with Frenchy Du Large on last month's form; better on softer ground..
6
4th (6) Corran Cross (11/1 +67%)
Corran Cross

11
11/1(+67%)
(6) Corran Cross 11/1, Hit the target off a similar mark at Haydock last spring but needs to bounce back following a couple of non-completions.
3m point winner; run mainly over shorter under Rules; back from a break; bit to prove.
1
5th (1) Scipion (5/1 +0%)
Scipion

5
5/1(+0%)
(1) Scipion 5/1, Cheekpieces fitted and built on earlier chasing promise when landing 4-runner handicap at Lingfield in February. Stuck to his task well when going close at Kempton (3m, soft) last time but looks vulnerable up 3 lb in this deeper race.
Good second at Kempton last time (3m); up 3lb, this ground suits and he has a good chance.
4
6th (4) Golden Taipan (33/1 -136%)
Golden Taipan

33
33/1(-136%)
(4) Golden Taipan 33/1, Won a couple of small-field handicaps at Perth last summer and probably need the run when pulled up at Kempton recently. Eased just 1 lb since and he's likely to find one of two too good.
These conditions suit and may have needed the run after a break when pulled up last time.
5
7th (5) One True King (8/1 +33%)
One True King

8
8/1(+33%)
(5) One True King 8/1, Hurdles winner here and opened chase account back at this course (21.4f, good) in September. Has found life tougher since, though, and he was a fair way behind Frenchy du Large at Haydock last month.
Has won twice here but mainly below form this year and needs to bounce back.
LTO Selection:

14:50 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Prediction: 3.5/1 (3) FRENCHY DU LARGE is likely to do well based on his recent form and success over shorter distances. As for the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, 3.5/1 (3) FRENCHY DU LARGE, 5/1 (2) FIDUX, and 4/1 (8) BETTY BALOO are strong contenders.

Only narrowly denied over this trip at Fakenham last month, FIDUX is entitled to build on that dropping in class and he looks the one to side with in a fairly open contest. Although it won't be easy, he has been consistent of late and is marginally preferred to Betty Baloo, who bolted up over C&D in a weaker contest most recently. Go On Chez hasn't been seen for 182 days but has proven to run well fresh in the past.

The vote goes to FRENCHY DU LARGE, who pulled clear of the third (Ladronne) when runner-up in a competitive Haydock handicap and a reproduction of that effort would give him every chance. Betty Baloo was pretty impressive over C&D last month, even allowing for the fact that she was probably seen to best effect, and Tim Easterby's charge is feared most ahead of Fidux.

The selection is SCIPION (nap), who has been in good form in cheekpieces, and is taken to beat Frenchy Du Large and Betty Baloo

Giovanni Change

5.5
5.5/1(+35%)
(2) Giovanni Change 5.5/1, Prone to mistakes but delivered a good round of jumping when making all over this C&D last summer. Decisive winner back from a break on the Flat at Pontefract recently and he's not discounted.
C&D winner in August; back from a break to win 2m5f Flat handicap last month; interesting.

2nd (5) Zestful (7/1 -75%)
Zestful

7
7/1(-75%)
(5) Zestful 7/1, Fair performer on the level (stays 1¾m) who has already surpassed that form over hurdles, winner of first 2 starts in this sphere prior to going close in a listed contest at Cheltenham (20.2f, good). Further progress likely on handicap debut.
In good form in 2023, last time finishing 2nd in 2m4f mares Listed novice; first run at 3m.

Sayadam

4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(1) Sayadam 4.5/1, Kelso bumper winner who hasn't done much wrong since switched to hurdles, winning 3 times, and latest third to a bang in-form rival upped to 23.9f at Taunton (good to soft) was a creditable effort. Each-way chance.
Yet to finish out of the frame; creditable 3rd at 3m last time; acts on good/soft; player.
4
4th (4) Tanganyika (10/1 +9%)
Tanganyika

10
10/1(+9%)
(4) Tanganyika 10/1, Landed a 3-y-o hurdle on debut in France in spring 2021 and first success on these shores when bagging a Carlisle handicap (19.3f, good to soft) in February. Not in the same form at Bangor next time, though, and others make more appeal.
Ex-French; won 2m3f handicap off 6lb lower in Feb; not so good last time; first run at 3m.
9
5th (9) Baddesley (12/1 +25%)
Baddesley

12
12/1(+25%)
(9) Baddesley 12/1, Off the mark over hurdles at the seventh attempt when making virtually all at Plumpton (20.5f, good to soft) in November. Creditable third in a first-time visor (omitted here) over the same C&D last time but his profile is too patchy for comfort. Cheekpieces back on.
Sole win was over 2m4f, but close third in 3m chase two starts ago; headgear change.
8
6th (8) Hashtag Boum (4/1 +38%)
Hashtag Boum

4
4/1(+38%)
(8) Hashtag Boum 4/1, Irish point winner who deservedly opened her Rules account in decisive fashion at Kelso (22.7f, good). 6 lb rise is certainly not the end of the world and this low-mileage 6-y-o has to enter calculations.
Off the mark when stepped up to 2m6f last time; 6lb higher; further progress likely at 3m.
7
|PU| (7) Some Scope (5.5/1 -83%)
Some Scope

5.5
5.5/1(-83%)
(7) Some Scope 5.5/1, Irish point winner who showed ability in a trio of maiden hurdles before readily accounting for 9 rivals on handicap debut upped to 24.3f at Haydock (good to firm) last month. 8 lb rise tolerable given that he's probably capable of better still.
Off the mark on first try at 3m on h'cap debut last time; up 8lb; unexposed sort; chance.
3
|PU| (3) Exmoor Forest (8.5/1 +23%)
Exmoor Forest

8.5
8.5/1(+23%)
(3) Exmoor Forest 8.5/1, Has improved since joining this yard, placed in a Chepstow novice/Exeter handicap prior to opening his account in a Warwick maiden (25f, good to soft) 11 days ago. However, improvement needed in order to defy a 7 lb penalty back in handicap company.
Won Warwick maiden hurdle on first try at 3m; stiffer task with penalty in better race.
6
|PU| (6) Ballintubber Boy (14/1 -65%)
Ballintubber Boy

14
14/1(-65%)
(6) Ballintubber Boy 14/1, Clumsy sort who overcame typical jumping errors to score at Stratford in October. Kept mistakes to a minimum when making all over this C&D last time and, if able to dial-in to a similar performance off this 5 lb higher mark, he should be on the premises.
Two wins last term, including over C&D with headgear (retained); up 5lb; a chance.
LTO Selection:

15:25 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 23f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

1st: 3/1 (7) SOME SCOPE 2nd: 6.5/1 (8) HASHTAG BOUM 3rd: 4/1 (5) ZESTFUL

This can go the way of SOME SCOPE, who was a major improver when stepped up in trip at Haydock and an 8lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop him going in again. Runner-up in Listed company at Cheltenham last month, Zestful is entitled to be thereabouts, along with comfortable Kelso scorer Hashtag Boum. Ballintubber Boy and Exmoor Forest are not without claims either.

The unexposed SOME SCOPE did the job well when making a winning handicap debut at Haydock and, with the promise of better to come from this 5-y-o, he is pretty appealing. Zestful lost no caste in defeat when finding just one too good in listed company at Cheltenham and she is second choice. Third on the list is Hashtag Boum, who should remain competitive following a 6 lb rise for her Kelso breakthrough success.

In a competitive event the progressive Haydock winner SOME SCOPE is taken to win again with Ballintubber Boy also in with a chance.

Proper Twelve

5
5/1(+29%)
(5) Proper Twelve 5/1, Fair in bumpers and he produced easily his most convincing piece of form over hurdles when second in 13-runner Plumpton handicap (20.5f) 33 days ago, headed after the last but keeping on. Remains low-mileage from a handicapping perspective if he can build on that now.

(11) Pollypockett 9/1, Fair bumper winner but yet to make an impact over hurdles, fading from 2 out on handicap debut at Southwell (20.4f) last June. Absent since and improvement required if she's to open her account on belated return.
Non-stayer of 2m4f last summer, but may yet do so having had time to mature further..

An improver and ought to stay 2m4f in time, if not quite yet; mark looks competitive..

Fair claims on this first drop to a 0-100, though must jump better than on last C&D visit..

Multiple placings off 8lb-9lb higher last summer/autumn; fair chance if fully wound up..

Similar form when filling same spot back here later that month and not out of things from 4 lb lower mark if 10-month absence doesn't catch him out.

13lb below her one winning handicap mark; can overrace, doing so over much further latest..

(3) Methusalar 8/1, Lightly-raced 7-y-o who confirmed previous promise when opening his account in 10-runner Bangor handicap (19.5f) 12 months ago, proving too speedy for a staying type in second. Absent subsequently but unlikely to be lacking for fitness on return. Possibilities.
Bangor winner off just 1lb lower when last seen a year ago; player if ready to roll again..

MISTY MANI loves it around here and her most recent second at Musselburgh hinted that she may be returning to her best form. The daughter of Sulamani continues to drop in the handicap and she may have enough to see off the likes of Bushtucker Park and Methusalar, who was a convincing winner at Bangor when last in action. Completing the shortlist are the likes of Allbetsoff, Maria Magdalena and Proper Twelve.

METHUSALAR was steadily going the right way in handicaps when last seen, signing off with success at Bangor (19.5f) 12 months ago. Just 1 lb higher on return, he's unlikely to be lacking for fitness given his yard and earns the vote. Teescomponentsfly on return, handicap debutant Bushtucker Park and Allbetsoff head up the dangers in a wide-open contest.

Back on track at Plumpton latest, PROPER TWELVE just gets the nod in an open affair ahead of dual course winner Misty Mani.

(2) Sageburg County 5/1, Successful on sole outing in Irish points and has shown fair form over hurdles. Very much the type to do better now sent chasing, so worth chancing.

Victory Echo

7.5
7.5/1(-7%)
(8) Victory Echo 7.5/1, Confirmed his return to form to capitalise on a reduced mark at Perth recently. Remains well treated on old form and, while consistency has never been his strong suit, he's not one to rule out.
Made all to win over 3m latest; just as effective at this trip; interesting off 3lb higher.

(3) Hardy Boy 3.33/1, Has been in good form over hurdles and has the physique to take to this discipline, so looks a player down in grade.

Pileup

2.5/1(+69%)
(6) Pileup 2.5/1, Fair maiden hurdler who made an encouraging start in this sphere after two early mistakes when second of 6 in handicap over C&D. Seemed amiss last time but may well bounce back after short break.
Maiden; good second over C&D on chase debut; excuses next time; unexposed; a possible.

7.5/1(+53%)
(11) Caro Des Flos 7.5/1, Seems poor nowadays and only fourth of 8 at Huntingdon 45 days ago. Cheekpieces back on but looks up against it from out of the weights.
1-16 over fences; better ground suits but no easy task from 4lb out of the handicap.

In good form at Fontwell last May/June, but poor efforts since..
LTO Selection:

16:35 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 5) 21f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st Place: 7/1 (8) VICTORY ECHO 2nd Place: 3/1 (2) SAGEBURG COUNTY 3rd Place: 8/1 (6) PILEUP

PILEUP couldn't build on a promising fencing debut when pulled up at Hexham last time out. He's been given a short break, however, and the cheekpieces that were worn there have now been discarded. His dam is a half-sister to the classy Put The Kettle On, which gives hope he should still thrive over the larger obstacles. Sageburg County showed plenty of ability over hurdles and he should progress further in this discipline, while recent Perth scorer Victory Echo heads the remainder.

SAGEBURG COUNTY finished with running left in a handicap hurdle at Southwell last time and, having won his only start between the flags, he's very much the type to do better over fences, so he gets the nod over fellow chasing debutant Hardy Boy. Drop Him In is in good order and should also be on the premises.

In a tricky event HARRY DU BERLAIS, with cheekpieces on for the first time, is taken to get back to winning ways.

0.33/1(+59%)
(1) Choccabloc 0.33/1, Out of a bumper winner and stepped forward from his debut when second at Chepstow (clear of remainder) 76 days ago. A repeat of that sort of performance should be enough to go one better.
Placed on both starts last season and sets a good form standard here.

Diamond Koda

50
50/1(-100%)
(5) Diamond Koda 50/1, 10,000 gns 3-y-o, Diamond Boy gelding. Half-brother to to 15f-17f hurdle winner in France Dancing Roque and French hurdler Fleur de La Roque, both fairly useful. Worth monitoring in the betting.
Out of a useful Flat/hurdle winner but other newcomers look more interesting.
7
3rd (7) James Baie (66/1 -32%)
James Baie

66
66/1(-32%)
(7) James Baie 66/1, Unplaced sole outing in point and only sixth in a C&D bumper on Rules bow. Needs to step forward from that.
Not beaten far when sixth over C&D last month but others make a lot more appeal.
6
4th (6) Gustoso (8/1 +68%)
Gustoso

8
8/1(+68%)
(6) Gustoso 8/1, Passing Glance gelding. Dam (b62), ran once over hurdles/in bumper, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler (2½m-2¾m winner) Kilgeel Hill.
£1,000 yearling; dam of little account but is half-sister to useful hurdler Kilgeel Hill.

5th (2) Il Cima (16/1 -60%)
Il Cima

16
16/1(-60%)
(2) Il Cima 16/1, Cima De Triomphe gelding. Dam unraced. Not much to go on in terms of his pedigree, so market clues will be the best guide to his chance.
Not an easy newcomer to get a handle on pedigree-wise but yard has very good bumper record.
4
6th (4) Scrumpy (16/1 -33%)
Scrumpy

16
16/1(-33%)
(4) Scrumpy 16/1, From a good family but only hinted at ability in a bumper at Hereford 178 days ago. Others make more appeal.
Beaten about 38l on debut at Hereford in November and not seen again since.
3
|PU| (3) Illico De Nuit (6/1 +0%)
Illico De Nuit

6
6/1(+0%)
(3) Illico De Nuit 6/1, €32,000 3-y-o, Gris De Gris gelding. Dam, ran twice over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful chaser (17f/2¼m winner) Roi de Treve and fairly useful chaser (2¼m-23f winner) Net Lady. One to take seriously on debut.
Out of a half-sister to a French Grade 2 chase winner; stable does well in bumpers.
LTO Selection:

17:08 Market Rasen NH Flat Race (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

1st: 0.8/1 (1) CHOCCABLOC 2nd: 6/1 (3) ILLICO DE NUIT 3rd: 5/1 (8) MISTRAL BLUE

Nicky Henderson has an admirable strike-rate when sending his horses here, and he could improve that record further with CHOCCABLOC. Having finished a good second at Chepstow on his latest outing, the gelded son of Blue Bresil is taken to go one better. Illico De Nuit demands the utmost respect for a trainer who does extremely well in these types of races, while Scrumpy also makes some appeal.

CHOCCABLOC was clear of the rest when runner-up at Chepstow last time and, if in the same form, he should be capable of opening his account at the third attempt. Mistral Blue looks the main danger on form and Illico de Nuit is the most interesting newcomer.

Nicky Henderson's CHOCCABLOC was placed in two good bumpers last season and ought to be a very tough nut to crack.

About U.K Horse Racing

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
