14:10 – Molson Coors Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.6, hurdle 7.5) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This does not look a deep maiden on paper and the market has latched on accordingly, with Edelak setting a pretty clear standard among the four-year-olds. Dan Skelton’s runner showed enough on his sole hurdles start to suggest this level is well within range, and the weight-for-age allowance only strengthens his hand. Fidendum is the obvious older horse with form, having reached a fair level before an absence, while Popalot and Calibos are the two at bigger prices who could easily step forward from limited evidence. Plenty of the rest arrive with patchy or moderate profiles and would need major improvement. In truth, this looks more about whether the favourite is as straightforward as expected rather than a fiercely competitive puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Edelak – 4/7 with William Hill
Jockey: Harry Skelton | Trainer: Dan Skelton | Form: 6- | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 78
Edelak is hard to oppose in a race lacking depth. He shaped with a fair bit of promise when sixth on his hurdling debut and a mark of 113 already puts him on top of this pile once the age allowance is factored in. The Skelton team are not in the habit of wasting bullets in ordinary maiden hurdles at tracks like this, and Harry Skelton taking over only adds to the confidence. At 4/7 he is no secret, but this is the sort of race where the obvious one can still be the right one. If he improves as expected from first to second start over timber, he should win. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Calibos – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan | Trainer: Jo Davis | Form: 4- | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 84
For an each-way play, Calibos makes more appeal than the more exposed older horses. He was only fourth on debut over hurdles, but that was not devoid of promise and a rating of 108 gives him a realistic platform in this company. The topspeed figure of 84 is also not out of place in a race where very few bring solid substance. Gavin Sheehan is a positive booking and this four-year-old gets the same useful allowance as the favourite, which matters plenty in a maiden of this nature. Available at 10/1, he looks the value to pick up the pieces if the market leader underwhelms. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Edelak is the win bet and the one to keep things simple with, because this race rather screams routine Skelton job if he builds on debut. For those wanting a bit more juice, Calibos is the each-way punt at double-figure odds in a 10-runner field with three places on offer. Fidendum is the obvious danger if returning in the same form as before his absence.

14:45 – Lucas Machinery Novices’ Limited Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.6, hurdle 7.5) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is not a deep novice handicap by any means, but it is one of those races where a few arrive with just enough upside to make life awkward for the market. Lord Of The Glance has the most persuasive recent profile after getting off the mark before unseating next time, while Character Testing has been knocking on the door and brings the best Topspeed figure in the field. Beorma is the interesting one for Dan Skelton and Harry Skelton, because the stable can do plenty of damage in this grade even when recent form looks ordinary. Bunker Bay and Bouquet De Paris are not dismissed in a race lacking established strength, but overall this looks more a contest to trust potential and placement than any bombproof piece of form.
Top Selections
1. Lord Of The Glance – 3/1 with William Hill
Jockey: Bryan Carver | Trainer: Alex Hales | Form: 8221U- | Rating: 99 | Topspeed: 90
He makes the most appeal in a race where solid recent hurdling form is in short supply. That sequence of 8221 before unseating suggests he had really found his level, and the win came after a string of near-misses rather than out of the blue. An opening mark of 99 does not look punitive for a horse who was beginning to learn how to finish his race off properly. Bryan Carver is a positive booking for this sort of handy, rhythm-dependent type, and at 3/1 he looks fair rather than flashy in a contest where several of these still have plenty to prove. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Character Testing – 11/2 with William Hill
Jockey: Jamie Hamilton | Trainer: Mark Walford | Form: 47F23- | Rating: 100 | Topspeed: 93
He looks the sensible each-way angle because, unlike many of these, he has been running to a pretty steady level and his mark has not run away from him. The placed efforts on his last two completed starts read well in the context of this modest Class 5, and that Topspeed figure of 93 is the best on offer here. Jamie Hamilton tends to suit these straightforward stayers and grinders, and this drop into a weakish novice handicap over 2m could easily sharpen him up. Available at 11/2, he appeals as the one most likely to give you a run for your money if the favourite underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lord Of The Glance is the win play, with the clearest recent profile and a mark that still looks workable. For an each-way punt, Character Testing brings the most reliable place credentials in an 11-runner field with three places on offer. The obvious danger is Beorma, who could easily leave poor recent form behind for the Skeltons if the market vibes are strong.

15:15 – Tiff And Ang Go West Stakes Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.6, hurdle 7.5) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a tight little seven-runner handicap rather than a race packed with depth, but it is still competitive enough because several arrive with bits of solid placed form and a couple have obvious handicapping angles. Jasmin De Cotte comes here off a win and is the one the market has latched onto, which is no surprise with Harry Skelton booked, but he does have top weight to lump. Lone Soldier is interesting from the foot of the weights after shaping well enough in second last time, while El Muchacho has the best Topspeed figure in the field and has been knocking on the door. Forsa Bay and Cloudy Wednesday have claims if bouncing back, but both need to prove they can finish the job. Tricky enough, but not impossible to unpick.
Top Selections
1. Lone Soldier – 9/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Sean Bowen | Trainer: Charles & Adam Pogson | Form: 53U42- | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 93
He makes plenty of appeal in a race where there are doubts attached to most of the principals. Lone Soldier signed off with a runner-up effort, and while that bare form does not scream certainty, it suggested he was in decent nick and ready to strike from this sort of mark. Carrying just 142, he gets weight from all six rivals, and in a Class 5 chase around Market Rasen that can make a real difference late on. Sean Bowen is a notable booking and this 8yo looks the one with the cleanest setup at the weights. At 9/2, he looks the value play against a vulnerable favourite.
Bet: WIN
2. El Muchacho – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: William Maggs | Trainer: Mike Sowersby | Form: 1F323- | Rating: 113 | Topspeed: 101
El Muchacho is the each-way angle because he has been running well enough in defeat to think he will give you a proper run for your money. That sequence of 1F323- tells its own story: win, one mishap, then a string of competitive efforts. He is rated 113, the joint-highest in the field, and his 101 Topspeed figure is a serious asset in a modest race like this. The slight concern is that he does not have much in hand of the assessor, but consistency counts for plenty at this level and he should be thereabouts again. Available at 6/1, he makes solid each-way appeal with three places on offer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lone Soldier is the win bet from the bottom of the weights, with Sean Bowen a major plus in a race that does not look overloaded with certainty. El Muchacho is the sensible each-way punt because his recent form is rock-solid and he should run his race again. Jasmin De Cotte is the obvious danger after that latest win, but conceding weight all round makes him opposable at the prices.

15:50 – Summer Plate Ladies Day Saturday 18th July Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 3 | Going: Chase 7.6, hurdle 7.5) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is only a six-runner handicap, but it is not lacking in depth. Bumpy Evans and Classic King head the market for good reason, with the former bringing the most consistent recent profile and the latter looking like a horse still capable of better over staying trips. Courtland and Annsam are older legs now and both arrive with questions after ending last season quietly, while Giovanni Change is dangerous from a feather weight if in the mood. Ira Hayes comes here off a win but has a bit to find on the figures. In a small field around Market Rasen, rhythm and jumping will matter plenty, and this looks the sort of race where tactical positioning could be just as important as raw ability.
Top Selections
1. Bumpy Evans – 5/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Conor O’Farrell | Trainer: Kerry Lee | Form: 1F123- | Rating: 138 | Topspeed: 121
Bumpy Evans is the one I want on side. He signed off last season with a solid third and his whole profile over fences reads well, with that 1F123 sequence suggesting he has been holding his form in stronger company than this. He is actually the highest-rated horse in the race but gets in with only 11st 8lb, which makes him very appealing in this small-field setup. Kerry Lee’s runners are usually well drilled over a fence and Conor O’Farrell should be able to keep things straightforward from the front or just off the pace. At 5/2, he looks the percentage call in a race where reliability counts. Bet type: Win.
Bet: WIN
2. Giovanni Change – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jamie Hamilton | Trainer: Mark Walford | Form: P3P13- | Rating: 136 | Topspeed: 126
Giovanni Change is the each-way angle purely because he is well treated on the weights and has enough back form to make 6/1 look interesting. He was in and out last season, no getting away from that, but there was also a win in that sequence and he ran respectably when third on his final start. His topspeed figure of 126 is one of the better numbers on offer here, and carrying just 10st 7lb gives him every chance if this turns tactical and turns into a sprint from the back straight. Mark Walford’s veteran is not one for maximum faith, but in a six-runner race he makes some each-way appeal if producing one of his going days. Bet type: Each-way.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Bumpy Evans is the solid win play and the one with the fewest holes in his profile. For those wanting a bit more juice, Giovanni Change is the each-way punt on his light weight and capable old form. Classic King is the obvious danger after his latest second and is hard to leave out of calculations, while Courtland could outrun his price if bouncing back.

16:20 – Victor Lucas Memorial Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 3 | Going: Chase 7.6, hurdle 7.5) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a proper staying handicap hurdle rather than a penalty kick, and it revolves around whether the market has Coumeenoole about right after that latest win. Dan Skelton’s runner is the obvious one, but he’s not getting bundles in hand from the assessor and there are a few lurkers against him. Escapologist has been running consistently well in this grade, Ryebridge looks the unexposed one over this sort of trip off a handy weight, and Idefix De Ciergues arrives off a confidence-boosting success of his own. Porter In The Park is another with enough back class to get involved if bouncing back. It’s a competitive Class 3, not a deep one, but definitely the sort of race where you want to be with a solid stayer rather than a flashy price collapse.
Top Selections
1. Ryebridge – 6/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Danny McMenamin | Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith | Form: 24414- | Rating: 121 | Topspeed: 101
Ryebridge makes plenty of appeal here. He’s a 6yo who still has the look of a progressive staying hurdler, and carrying 154 in a race like this could be a major asset if it turns into a proper test from some way out. His profile is solid rather than flashy, but that’s often what you want in these spring handicaps, and the Sue Smith yard knows exactly how to campaign this type. Off 121 he doesn’t look overburdened, and 6/1 feels fair in a race where the favourite is short enough. He’s the one I’d rather side with than take cramped odds about a rival with similar questions to answer. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Porter In The Park – 12/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Cameron Johnstone-Baker | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: 33329- | Rating: 121 | Topspeed: 122
Porter In The Park is exactly the sort who could outrun his price if this is run to suit. The recent form figures don’t scream winner, but there’s a lot of respectable handicap form in there and that standout Topspeed figure of 122 catches the eye in this field. He’s a 9yo now, so you’re not banking on sudden improvement, but you don’t need it at 12/1. You just need him to travel and keep on, which is very much his game when things drop right. Emma Lavelle’s runner looks overlooked against sexier profiles, and in an 11-runner race with three places on offer, he’s a perfectly sensible each-way punt. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ryebridge is the win play at around 6/1 because he has the right mix of stamina, scope and a workable weight. Porter In The Park is the each-way alternative at double-figure odds, with enough proven form to hit the frame if running his race. The obvious dangers are Coumeenoole, who is hard to dismiss after winning last time, and the reliable Escapologist.

16:52 – Fiver Friday Raceday Friday 12th June Conditional Jockeys’ Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.6, hurdle 7.5) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly ordinary Class 5 on paper, but it is not without angles. De Deli Counter is the obvious starting point after getting off the mark last time and he arrives with the most persuasive recent form in the line-up, while Blue Bear is interesting dropped into this grade with a light weight and a solid enough profile for a race like this. Nottodaybobo has the highest mark in the field and could easily get involved if building on his latest third, but he does not look bombproof. Matoury has the best Topspeed figure in the race, though his finishing effort has been suspect. With Forest Spirit a non-runner, this is a smaller and slightly less competitive puzzle than it first appeared, and recent momentum may count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. De Deli Counter – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Midgley | Trainer: Mark Walford | Form: U2531- | Rating: 97 | Topspeed: 90
De Deli Counter makes plenty of appeal in a race where not many arrive in nick. That latest win was the standout recent piece of form on offer here and, for a 5yo, he still has the look of a horse learning on the job rather than one exposed to the hilt. An opening mark of 97 does not scream harsh, especially when several of these have had their chances from similar or higher ratings. Tom Midgley keeps the ride for Mark Walford and they should be able to use that tactical pace to good effect around Market Rasen. At 15/8 he is not a giveaway, but he is the runner with the clearest case and looks the one to beat. Bet: WIN
2. Blue Bear – 9/2 with Betfair
Jockey: Oscar Palmer | Trainer: Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith | Form: /5744- | Rating: 96 | Topspeed: 67
Blue Bear is the each-way angle in a race lacking depth. He has not been winning, but those two fourth-place finishes before a break were perfectly respectable in the context of this grade and suggested he was knocking on the door of a weaker contest. Carrying just 146, he is one of the better-treated runners on figures and does not need to find a huge amount to hit the frame again. Oscar Palmer takes over for the Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith yard, and if this turns into more of a slog than the going description suggests, that would not hurt his chance. Available at 9/2, he looks a sensible each-way punt against some patchy rivals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
De Deli Counter is the straightforward win play after his latest success and still looks ahead of his mark. For an each-way alternative, Blue Bear makes more appeal than some shorter-priced rivals because he has a workable weight and enough recent consistency for this level. Nottodaybobo is the obvious danger if reproducing his latest run, while Matoury is risky but not impossible if bouncing back.
