13:30 – ABP Ports Of Grimsby & Immingham Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)

Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This doesn’t look a deep maiden on paper and that gives the race a fairly straightforward shape. Kiwi de Cotte heads the market for the Skeltons despite pulling up on his only completed rules start, so he’s priced on reputation and presumed improvement rather than substance. Getaway Vic brings the most solid hurdle form into it, already rated 117 and proven at a similar level, while Royal Rocket arrives off a fair second and looks the obvious danger if this longer trip draws more out of him. Premier Fantasy also enters the reckoning after chasing home a winner last time, but he still has a bit to prove on balance. In truth, this feels more about reliability than untapped brilliance, and that points firmly toward the established form horse.

Top Selections

1. Getaway Vic – 9/4 with Bet365

Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Mickey Bowen | Form: 121/42 | Rating: 117 | Topspeed: 91

Getaway Vic sets the standard and, unlike a few of these, you don’t have to guess whether he’s up to winning a race of this nature over hurdles. His profile is solid, his mark of 117 is the best in the field, and that latest second suggests he remains in good order after a break. He was no back number when fourth on his return either, and this looks a perfectly fair opening. James Bowen is a notable booking and the market has him exactly where you’d expect, but 9/4 still looks workable in a race lacking depth. He’s the one with the strongest claims and the fewest questions to answer. Bet type: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Royal Rocket – 7/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: 653-2 | Rating: 112 | Topspeed: 81

Royal Rocket appeals as the each-way angle in a seven-runner race because he has a bit more substance to his profile than some of the shorter-priced opposition. That latest second was a step in the right direction, his rating of 112 puts him right in the mix, and the move up to 2m7f could yet unlock a little more. Harry Cobden taking the ride catches the eye and Emma Lavelle’s runner looks the type to keep galloping when others are under pressure. He doesn’t quite bring the same level of established form as Getaway Vic, but at 7/2 he makes more appeal than taking cramped odds about potential rather than proven ability. Bet type: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Keep it simple here: Getaway Vic is the win play because he brings the best hurdles form and the clearest standard. Royal Rocket is the each-way option in a race where several rivals are still trading on promise rather than achievement. The obvious danger is Kiwi de Cotte if the Skelton yard has him transformed, while Premier Fantasy is the one who could nick a place again.

14:05 – GP Shipping Handicap Hurdle

Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This looks a proper staying handicap for the grade rather than a weak summer knockabout, with several arriving in form and a few lurking on dangerous marks. Muskerry Rock is the obvious one for Dan Skelton after shaping better than the bare result on his latest start, while Lady Fortune and Braganza Bay both come here on the back of wins and demand plenty of respect. Cinderello is another progressive type stepping up in trip after back-to-back victories, so there is no shortage of plausible angles. The likely deciding factor is stamina mixed with how much improvement is still in the tank, because a few of these older handicappers are fairly exposed now. It is not impossible to solve, but you do need to be choosy at the prices.

Top Selections

1. Muskerry Rock – 11/10 with Bet365

Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: /08-12 | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 73

Muskerry Rock is short enough, but he is still the percentage call. He ran well to win two starts back and backed that up with a solid second off this mark, which reads perfectly well in a race of this nature. The Skelton yard rarely wastes bullets in these staying handicap hurdles at this level, and Harry Skelton is exactly the sort you want on a prominent racer around Market Rasen. An opening mark in the mid-100s still looks workable judged on that recent form, and 11/10 is not fancy but is fair if you think he is the most likely winner. He holds the strongest claims.

Bet: WIN

2. Cinderello – 8/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Jack Hogan | Trainer: Alex Hales | Form: 143-11 | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 90

Cinderello makes plenty of each-way appeal because he is the one in the field who still looks notably on the up. Two wins on the bounce tell their own story, and his Topspeed figure of 90 suggests those performances were backed up by substance rather than race circumstances. He has gone up the weights, but a mark of 99 does not look harsh for a 6yo improving with racing, and this step into a proper staying test could easily bring out more. Alex Hales has him thriving and Jack Hogan is a good fit for this type of ride. At 8/1, he looks the value alternative to the favourite.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Muskerry Rock is the win play because he brings the most solid recent handicap form and looks hard to oppose in this grade. For those wanting a bit more juice, Cinderello is the each-way punt at 8/1 as an improving stayer with upside. Lady Fortune and Braganza Bay are the obvious dangers after recent wins, but neither looks quite as well priced as the Hales runner.

14:40 – Dan Shipping Handicap Chase

Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This is only a six-runner handicap chase but it still has a fair bit of shape to it. Thickthorn Tom arrives off the back of a win and is the obvious one, especially with Harry Skelton booked for a yard that tends to place these types well. Wings On Wheels has been knocking on the door, though, and his recent figures suggest he is unlikely to be far away again if putting in a clean round. Getaway Jewel is the interesting lurker at a much bigger price after a decent runner-up effort, while the Cole pair, Arctic Saint and Shes All Pride, need to show a bit more. It’s not a deep race and the market leader makes plenty of appeal, but there is just enough opposition to make it more than a penalty kick.

Top Selections

1. Thickthorn Tom – 4/5 with Bet365

Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 6P3-21 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 83

He looks the solid one. That latest form figure of 1 came in a race where he finally put things together over fences, and the run before that suggested the breakthrough was coming. A mark of 97 still looks workable for a 6yo who may not have finished progressing just yet, and the Skelton operation is exactly the sort to keep one moving forward in this grade. The 4/5 on offer is no giveaway, but in a race lacking depth he is hard to oppose if reproducing his latest effort. He sets the standard on current chasing form and holds strong claims of following up.

Bet: WIN

2. Getaway Jewel – 14/1 with Betfair

Jockey: Brian Hughes | Trainer: Micky Hammond | Form: 2064-2 | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 93

At the prices, he makes far more each-way appeal than most of these. He’s a 12yo now, so there are obvious limitations, but that latest second was a reminder that the ability is still there and his Topspeed figure of 93 is notably strong in the context of this race. Carrying 148 compared to the joint topweights could help too if this turns into a proper test from some way out. Brian Hughes is a major plus in these lower-grade northern handicaps and 14/1 looks bigger than it should be for a horse who doesn’t need to improve much to nick a place. He’s the value each-way punt.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Thickthorn Tom is the straightforward win play and makes most appeal as the likely improver in a weak enough Class 5. For those wanting a bit more juice, Getaway Jewel is the each-way alternative at a chunky price and has enough recent form to get involved. Wings On Wheels is the obvious danger if running to his last two efforts, but he’s shorter than the value angle.

15:15 – Global Shipping Services Mares’ Handicap Hurdle

Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This looks a fairly straightforward little mares’ handicap on paper, with Beorma bringing a six-timer into a race lacking much depth behind her. Dan Skelton’s mare has climbed the weights for good reason and still arrives with the profile of one who may not have stopped improving yet. Hello Sweety is the obvious one to give her most to think about after resuming winning ways last time, while The Secret Pearl and Miss Friday Lions have bits of form that make them interesting in the battle for the places. Several others arrive with patchy profiles or something to prove, so unless Beorma finally bumps into the handicapper, this does not look the deepest Class 5 you’ll see around Market Rasen.

Top Selections

1. Beorma – 4/11 with Bet365

Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 111111 | Rating: 116 | Topspeed: 95

It’s hard to get away from Beorma, even at cramped odds. Six straight wins tell their own story and, just as importantly, she has kept finding a way despite the handicapper steadily turning the screw. A mark of 116 asks another question, but this is only a Class 5 and nothing else in here brings her consistency or upward momentum. Harry Skelton is exactly the man you want aboard a short-priced mare who knows how to race, and if she gets into the same smooth rhythm as on recent starts, the others may just be playing for minor money. At 4/11 she’s no hidden gem, but she is the percentage call.

Bet: WIN

2. Miss Friday Lions – 16/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Nathan Moscrop | Trainer: Rebecca Menzies | Form: 350P-3 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 101

For an each-way angle, Miss Friday Lions makes more appeal than some of the more obvious alternatives. Her latest third suggested there is still a race in her from this sort of mark, and her figures are not nearly as messy as the price implies. She gets in here with just 150lb, has a respectable topspeed figure of 101, and this race really does not look stacked with reliable types behind the favourite. Rebecca Menzies’ runners often do well when placed carefully, and 16/1 feels a bit dismissive in an eight-runner field where making the frame looks very realistic. She’s the type to keep on when others have cried enough.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Beorma is the obvious win play and the one to keep things simple with, even if the price is short. For those wanting something at a bigger number, Miss Friday Lions appeals as the each-way punt in a race where place claims do not look overly demanding. Hello Sweety is the main danger to the favourite, while The Secret Pearl could also nick a place if bouncing back.

15:55 – Associated British Ports “Summer Plate Trial” Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 3 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This looks a proper little Summer Plate pointer rather than a routine seven-runner handicap, with several arriving off solid spring efforts and not much between them on official figures. Bhaloo sets the standard on ability and shaped well enough on his return when second, while Gateau De Miel comes here off a win and is clearly thriving again for Fergal O’Brien. Bleu D’Enfer and Seaview Rock have each been knocking on the door, and Mahons Glory is weighted to be competitive if bouncing back. It is a race where fitness, clean jumping and tactical speed around Market Rasen may matter more than brute force, and that makes it slightly tricky despite the small field.

Top Selections

1. Bhaloo – 5/2 with Bet365

Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Form: 63PP-2 | Rating: 146 | Topspeed: 131

I’m prepared to forgive the pair of pulled-up efforts last season because his comeback second suggested he retains plenty of ability, and on balance that makes him the one to beat here. A mark of 146 is demanding enough, but this isn’t a deep Class 3 and Henderson’s horses are always worth noting when sent north for a race like this. James Bowen is an eye-catching booking and, if Bhaloo builds on that latest run, he has the class to boss these from a handy position. At 5/2 he is no giveaway, but he still looks the most likely winner. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Seaview Rock – 10/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Robert Dunne | Trainer: Charles & Adam Pogson | Form: 218-23 | Rating: 146 | Topspeed: 129

The six-year-old is the interesting each-way angle because he may not have stopped progressing yet and his recent form reads well in the context of this race. He won over fences earlier in the season and has backed that up with placed efforts, so there is no doubt about current wellbeing. Carrying 146 off a racing weight of 146 keeps him in the argument, and he has the sort of profile that can keep finding off the bridle when others have shown their hand. In a field of seven, 10/1 feels a fair bit bigger than it should be for one arriving with reliable form. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Bhaloo is the win play because he has the best recent piece of form and the class edge if backing that up. For an each-way punt, Seaview Rock makes more appeal than some shorter ones given his consistency and scope for a bit more improvement. Gateau De Miel and Bleu D’Enfer look the main dangers if the favourite underperforms.

Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This looks a competitive little Class 5 despite the grade, with several arriving in form and a few lurking on workable marks. Bunker Bay is the obvious starting point after back-to-back wins and he carries a penalty in effect for that progress, while Onehundredneighty is likely to be popular dropped into this sort of company off 99. Tuba comes here after getting his head in front last time and still has the profile of a horse who may not have stopped improving, whereas Mancero is the unexposed 4yo with a light weight and a recent win to his name. It is not a deep race full of future stars, but it is exactly the sort of handicap where the right progressive runner can quickly look well treated.

Top Selections

1. Bunker Bay – 85/40 with Betfair

Jockey: Joshua Thompson | Trainer: Micky Hammond | Form: 328-11 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 100

It is hard to get away from Bunker Bay. He has won his last two, arrives here with the best recent profile in the field and his figures suggest those wins were no fluke. A mark of 108 asks another question, but not an impossible one, and that Topspeed figure of 100 stands out in this company. Hammond’s runner is clearly thriving and this 2m4f test on good ground should suit a horse who looks to be enjoying life now. At around 85/40 he is not exactly hiding from the market, but in a race where plenty have something to prove, he still makes the most appeal. Bet: WIN

Bet: WIN

2. Mancero – 7/1 with Bet365

Jockey: Jack Tudor | Trainer: David Pipe | Form: 442-41 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 58

Mancero looks the value play if you want something against the favourite. He is only 4, carries just 151 and shaped like a horse finding his feet over hurdles when winning last time. That form line of 442-41 reads nicely for this level and there is every chance there is more to come from him than some of the exposed older handicappers. Jack Tudor is a positive booking and Pipe’s youngster has the sort of profile that can improve again from a fair mark of 101. Available at 7/1, he makes plenty of each-way sense in a race with four places on offer. Bet: EACH-WAY

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Bunker Bay is the solid win play given his two-timer, current wellbeing and standout speed figure. For an each-way punt, Mancero appeals as the progressive alternative off a nice racing weight and still looks open to improvement. Onehundredneighty is the obvious danger if building on his reappearance, while Tuba is another who cannot be ignored after last-time-out success.

Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.2; hurdle 7.3) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps

This looks a fairly informative little bumper rather than a deep one, with the market understandably centring on Fine Thing and last-time-out winner Scotto. The latter brings the best piece of hard evidence with a winning debut and a rating of 115, so there is no guesswork about ability there. Fine Thing, from the Dan Skelton yard and getting plenty of weight from the principals, is the obvious unexposed danger and the one the betting expects to have a future. Royalty Row’D has already shown a bit with a placed effort, while Masterius is another interesting newcomer from a yard that knows how to place one. In a six-runner race, class and professionalism could count for plenty, but it is not quite the penalty kick the favourite’s supporters may think.

Top Selections

1. Scotto – 5/2 with Bet365

Jockey: Jonathan Burke | Trainer: James Owen | Form: 1 | Rating: 115 | Topspeed: 57

Scotto is the one with substance behind the promise. A debut winner with a BHA figure of 115, he sets the standard on what we actually know rather than what we hope. In these bumpers, that can be worth plenty, especially around a track like Market Rasen where knowing the job can make a real difference. Jonathan Burke is a notable booking and James Owen’s runner does not need a huge step forward to make himself very hard to beat. Fine Thing is feared, but Scotto’s proven ability makes 5/2 look a fair working price rather than an underlay. He holds strong claims of following up.

Bet: WIN

2. Royalty Row’D

Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Mickey Bowen | Form: 3 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed:

For an each-way angle in a six-runner field paying two places, Royalty Row’D makes more appeal than some of the completely unexposed types because at least he has shown he can handle race conditions. That third-place finish and 108 rating leave him with a bit to find with Scotto on the figures, but not an impossible amount, and James Bowen is exactly the sort you want aboard in a tactical bumper. If the market principals turn this into a duel or one of the newcomers proves green under pressure, Royalty Row’D looks the one most likely to pick up the pieces. He is not bombproof, but he makes each-way sense.

Bet: EACH-WAY

Betting Strategy

Scotto is the main bet because he brings the strongest form and the best rating into a race where most still have something to prove. For those wanting a saver at a bit more of a price, Royalty Row’D is the each-way punt with solid place credentials. Fine Thing is the obvious danger on stable reputation and market strength, while Masterius is the dark horse if strong in the betting.
