1/10(+75%)
(1) Listentoyourheart 1/10, Overcame inexperience to make a winning start in a Sedgefield bumper in October and showed better form in defeat thereafter, including when fifth of 16 in Grade 2 Nickel Coin Mares' National Hunt Flat Race at Aintree on final outing. Potentially useful recruit to hurdling.
Quite a useful bumper performer who is the one to beat on her hurdles debut.

50/1(-257%)
(6) Talysh 50/1, Shaped as if in need of the experience when well held in juvenile hurdle at Fakenham (16f, soft) on NH debut 10 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Ben Pauling.
£38,000 buy as a 2yo; tailed off only start so far; probably best watched on stable debut.

Now Then Wendy

20
20/1(+20%)
(2) Now Then Wendy 20/1, A fair 1m4f Flat winner for Hughie Morrison who finished down the field in 3 bumpers for Laura Morgan but shaped as if retaining ability tried hurdling at Worcester 12 days ago, still in touch when when all but came down 2 out (pulled up quickly).
1m4f AW Flat winner for Hughie Morrison; promising hurdles debut; interesting contender.

Tilly's Gunner

14:53 Market Rasen Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

LISTENTOYOURHEART has some smart bumper form to her name, including her fifth in a Group 2 event at Aintree in April, and she goes for the in-form Dan Skelton stable. The daughter of Getaway looks to have found an ideal opportunity on her hurdles debut. Tilly's Gunner is related to a few winners and she would be interesting if the market speaks in her favour, while Pure Gold looks best of the rest.

LISTENTOYOURHEART is a potentially useful recruit to hurdling based on her bumper exploits, so her claims are crystal clear in a weak-looking affair. Pure Gold and newcomer Tilly's Gunner can battle it out for minor honours.

Having shown plenty of promise in bumpers LISTENTOYOURHEART is the one to beat with Now Then Wendy likely to be her main danger.

Liam Swagger

0.666667
4/6(+56%)
(4) Liam Swagger 4/6, Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1¾m), best effort last time. Half-brother to fairly useful hurdler Father of Jazz (2m winner) for connections and fair staying hurdler Dequall. Tongue tied and makes plenty of appeal on jumps debut for in-form yard.
Fairly useful Flat maiden so he rates an interesting debutant for his in-form handler.

2nd (1) Torrent (9/2 -64%)
Torrent

4.5
9/2(-64%)
(1) Torrent 9/2, Fair Flat performer who has made a good start to his hurdling career and defied a penalty for his Uttoxeter victory at the second attempt at Newton Abbot 3 weeks ago. More needed again but it's not out of the question.
Went 2-3 with a cosy success in juvenile at Newton Abbot latest; not taken lightly.

Model Approach

6
6/1(-33%)
(5) Model Approach 6/1, Fairly useful maiden on Flat (stays 1½m), again ran well in handicap last time (sold from Jim Bolger 27,000 gns in July). One to consider on hurdles debut.
A fair Flat maiden for Jim Bolger; changed hands for 27,000 gns so a considered newcomer.

Benvoy

(3) Benvoy 33/1, Fair maiden on Flat (sold from Henry de Bromhead £6,500 in July). Half-brother to useful 2m hurdle winner Arabian Revolution (scored first time up in this sphere). Wouldn't completely dismiss.
Fair maiden in Ireland for Henry de Bromhead; not discounted going hurdling for new yard.
6
5th (6) Malinka (11/2 -65%)
Malinka

5.5
11/2(-65%)
(6) Malinka 11/2, Fair Flat performer who made a winning debut over hurdles in smooth style after 11 weeks off for new yard at Cartmel, responding well and seeing off Torrent. Her form on the level quickly tailed off but she's entitled to progress after such a promising start.
Made winning start in this sphere in Cartmel juvenile; must enter calculations here.

15:30 Market Rasen Conditions Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

MALINKA accounted for Torrent (second) in commanding style on heavy ground at Cartmel and she might have plenty more to offer on only her second start in this sphere. Jennie Candish's filly looks well placed to go in again. Torrent has subsequently struck at Newton Abbot and he might prove the main threat again, while any market support for newcomer Liam Swagger with Sam Twiston-Davies booked should be noted too.

A useful-looking renewal of what has been a good juvenile over the years and LIAM SWAGGER is taken to make a successful start in this sphere. A fairly useful and consistent maiden on the level, he's related to a couple of winning hurdlers and makes plenty of appeal. There might not be much between Cartmel 1-2 Malinka and Torrent, the latter having won again since at Newton Abbot. Model Approach also makes some appeal starting out in this code.

James Owen's LIAM SWAGGER was the best of these on the Flat and is related to a couple of hurdles winners so can make a winning debut

Veteran has offered little over fences for his current yard this summer; others preferred.

16:05 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

ANOTHER DAY OUT made every yard of the running to score in this grade at Huntingdon in May and the handicapper might have been kind to only put her 4lb for that triumph. If Martin Keighley's six-year-old returns in similar form, she could prove very tough to beat. Ginger Pointe wasn't disgraced when fourth at this level at Worcester earlier in the month and he should go well off a 1lb lower rating, while Jolie Baie is another to note.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and GINGER POINTE is fancied to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his very good Worcester fourth. Huntingdon-scorer Another Day Out is feared most with in-form Layerthorpe another who can have a say.

This looks a good opportunity for GINGER POINTE to bag a second chasing win for Danny Brooke on the back of his good Worcester fourth

Allmankind

25
25/1(-79%)
(1) Allmankind 25/1, Smart hurdler and high-class chaser during his time with Dan Skelton. Hasn't been seen since finishing lame at Cheltenham in January 2023 but new trainer James Owen has a cracking record with new recruits. Check the betting.
Very smart hurdler for Dan Skelton; off since 2023 but can't be discounted for new yard.

Solid third at Stratford in May; needs to hit the ground running after a lay-off though.

16:35 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

PISGAH PIKE hasn't stood much racing over the past couple of years, but he has worked his way back to form and ended a drought with a gritty triumph at Worcester. A 5lb rise still leaves him on a handy mark and he can continue to make up for lost time. Got Grey hasn't broken sweat in winning twice since joining the Skeltons and is a big danger, despite the 11lb hike for his Bangor victory leaving him just out of the handicap. Saint Riquier has been flying on the level and bids to books his ticket to the American Champion Hurdle.

GOT GREY takes a jumps in class but he's had loads to spare when winning twice in recent weeks and can make it 3-3 since joining Dan Skelton. Saint Riquier has made hay on the Flat since returning from a long lay-off and is feared most ahead of Chris Gordon's Our Champ, who was at the top of his game when last seen in the spring and won on his reappearance last autumn.

It's hard to ignore GOT GREY (nap), who is improving fast for Dan Skelton and taken to overcome a 12lb weights hike

Rare course runner for his trainer; comes here in decent form.

17:10 Market Rasen Handicap Chase (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

Chris Ward and IMAC WOOD have struck up a fine partnership and the six-year-old has won half of his 12 chase starts, most recently at Uttoxeter in July. There should be even more to come from him and he is preferred to Small Bad Bob, who was successful over the smaller obstacles at Huntingdon when last seen. Envious Editor put in a solid effort to fill the runner-up berth at Worcester, while Jet Plane's hat-trick bid ended in failure at the Scottish National meeting and he is 4lb higher for his return.

No shortage of in-form sorts in this small-field affair including IMAC WOOD. He enhanced his excellent strike rate over fences (well backed) at Uttoxeter (20f) in July and, still only a 6-y-o, there's a suspicion he could yet have more to offer. Jet Plane, on seasonal bow, and Francky du Berlais head the dangers.

In an open race the vote goes to veteran FRANKY DU BERLAIS, who has a good record here and has been in decent form this summer.

17:45 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

UNITED FRONT was no match for a comfortable winner on his handicap debut at Newton Abbot last month, but that rival has gone in again since. Fergal O'Brien's gelding is just 1lb higher today and, given that he's open to further improvement over hurdles, the son of War Front looks more than capable of going one better. Recent Newton Abbot scorer Karannelle can give a good account of herself from 3lb higher, while Golden Moonshake warrants a market check, now fitted with cheekpieces on his handicap bow.

OPERA KING looks leniently treated on bumper form, so he's worth chancing now handicapping on return from a break for a yard that excels around this time of year. United Front could improve further in this sphere, so she's respected along with Karannelle.

In a modest race the unexposed UNITED FRONT, a good second on his handicap debut last month, is taken to win from Opera King.

Two wins over hurdles, the latest at Worcester last time; stays 2m2f; should go well again.

12/1(-50%)
(5) Saddlers Quest 12/1, Completed a hat-trick last year and took a step back in the right direction when fourth of 13 at Newton Abbot (16.8f, good) in June. Below par both subsequent starts, though, and she's probably worth taking on.
Three wins at 2m/2m1f in 2023; below par on soft after wind op latest; better expected.

15/8(+46%)
(2) Bitsnbuckles 15/8, Duly improved when making a winning handicap debut at Huntingdon (19.6f, soft) in January. Disappointing both starts since but there were excuses on both occasions and he's not one to write off just yet.
Below-par since winning over 2m3f in January but could bounce back on this better ground.

Prospect House

8/1(-167%)
(7) Prospect House 8/1, Runner-up on 2 of his first 3 starts at this course and had a bit in hand when getting off the mark over C&D (a division of this race) on his latest appearance 12 months ago. 4 lb rise no major hardship and will be a threat if fully tuned-up.
Off the mark over hurdles in this race last term; not run since; could go well if tuned up.

(3) Barenboim 10/1, Some good efforts on the Flat for David O'Meara this year but he didn't show a great deal back in this sphere on debut for new connections at Worcester after 5 months off. Now goes handicapping.
Five-time Flat winner; modest form over hurdles (after wind op latest); h'cap debut.

Good Bye

18/1(-13%)
(1) Good Bye 18/1, Proved a model of consistency during 2022/23 campaign for this yard but he hasn't shown much spark in 2 starts since returning from a 17-month absence in June.
Two wins, latest in January 2023; off for 509 days; not regained his form since.

(8) Harry Gulliver 12/1, Lightly-raced maiden who was in the process of running best race to date when falling at the last (in a share of second at the time) at Southwell in May. Disappointing next time out, though, and he's opposable.
Disputing second when falling at the last at Stratford in May; poor form otherwise.

(6) Tio Mio 150/1, Fair Flat winner but recent efforts in that sphere have lacked spark and he hasn't pulled up any trees over hurdles so far.
Three-time AW Flat winner at up to 1m3f; poor form over hurdles; others stronger.

18:15 Market Rasen Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

GARITSA BAY left it late to get up over 2m at Worcester in June and, with the return to further in his favour, a 3lb higher mark looks well within range. The son of Walk In The Park gets the vote over Barenboim, who could show more on his second start following wind surgery. Prospect House hasn't been seen for just shy of a year, but that was a C&D triumph and he will be a threat to all if ready to roll following the absence.

Though BITSNBUCKLES has failed to back up his Huntingdon handicap debut success in two subsequent starts, he will have every chance if able to get back on track following a break, which is a plausible scenario with his yard in such good form. Garitsa Bay is second choice ahead of Prospect House, who struck over C&D in a division of this race when last seen 12 months ago.

The choice is GARITSA BAY who is one of the few in the race to have solid recent form. Prospect House could also go well.

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.
