13:35 – CopyBet Supporting UK Horse Racing Amateur Jockeys’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 7f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This small-field amateur riders’ chase looks competitive enough without being especially deep, and the market has understandably latched on to Giovanni Change after his latest win. He is well treated on these terms and carries only 11st 4lb despite sharing the top rating of 127, which makes him the obvious starting point. Ladronne brings solid, consistent handicap form and should give another honest account, while No But I Will has been holding his form well and is not badly weighted. Mt Fugi Park is capable but comes with risk after a fall, and Hurricane Bay has become harder to trust. In truth, this is the sort of race where the one who jumps best and travels smoothly through the final mile is likely to decide it.
Top Selections
1. Giovanni Change – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Mr Paddy Barlow | Trainer: Mark Walford | Form: 43P3P1 | Rating: 127 | Topspeed: 111
He looks the percentage call. That latest success was exactly what you wanted to see from an 11-year-old who had been mixing fair efforts with the odd below-par run, and the key here is that he gets in off 11st 4lb despite a mark of 127. In a race lacking many solid, upward-going profiles, that matters. His Topspeed figure of 111 stacks up well in this field and he has the tactical pace to hold a position in a steadily run small-field chase. At 2/1 he is no giveaway, but he is still the one with the fewest questions to answer and the strongest claims on balance. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. No But I Will – 8/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Miss Jessica Milly Smith | Trainer: Julian Smith | Form: 321314 | Rating: 126 | Topspeed: 111
At the prices, he makes more appeal than a few of the shorter ones for an each-way punt. His recent form is actually pretty solid for this level, with the figures 321314 showing a horse who has been holding his form together rather than falling apart, and that latest fourth was not the sort of run that puts me off. He is only 1lb lower than the top-rated pair on 126 and his Topspeed of 111 says he has the raw ability to get involved if this turns into a proper test from the back straight. Available at 8/1, he looks the value angle in a six-runner race lacking much depth beyond the principals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Giovanni Change is the win play in a race where his recent success and low weight make him hard to oppose. For those looking beyond the favourite, No But I Will is the each-way option at a much more tempting price and has the profile of one who can run into the first two. Ladronne is the obvious danger if reproducing his usual consistent level.

14:10 – First Past The Post At CopyBet Mares’ Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly thin mares’ maiden on paper and, unless something unexposed takes a sizeable step forward, it ought to revolve around Diamonds Galore. Nicky Henderson’s mare has by some distance the best established hurdle form in the line-up, with a mark of 119 and several runner-up efforts that set a clear standard in this company. The obvious niggle is that latest pulled-up effort, so she is no absolute certainty at cramped odds. Chatty Girl is the one with the most persuasive alternative profile, having run respectably in defeat more than once and bringing a solid enough mark of 106 into the race. The rest have a good deal to find on ratings and bare form, which makes this more about whether the favourite turns up in the right mood than any deep puzzle.
Top Selections
1. Diamonds Galore – 4/6 with Paddy Power
Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Form: P-222P | Rating: 119 | Topspeed: 109
She is hard to oppose on the figures. Those three second-place finishes before the latest blip are comfortably the best pieces of form on offer here, and a 119 rating puts her well clear of these rivals. The pulled-up run is the only real cloud, but this is a marked drop in depth and Henderson’s mares tend to look very different when finding a race of this nature. James Bowen is a positive booking and, if she reproduces anything close to her earlier efforts, the others may just be playing for places. At 4/6 she is no giveaway, but she still sets the standard by a fair margin. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Chatty Girl – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Bryan Carver | Trainer: Alex Hales | Form: 5-2534 | Rating: 106 | Topspeed: 89
She makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where not many arrive with dependable recent hurdle form. Chatty Girl has been knocking on the door without quite getting her head in front, but that sequence of 2, 5, 3 and 4 says she is competitive at this sort of level and her mark of 106 is clear of the lesser lights here. Bryan Carver knows how to deliver one late and, in a seven-runner field with two places on offer, she looks the sensible alternative to the favourite. Available at 11/4, she is not exactly a hidden gem, but she is the one most likely to capitalise if Diamonds Galore underwhelms again. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Keep it straightforward. Diamonds Galore is the win play because her peak hurdle form is comfortably the strongest in the race and this is a very suitable opportunity to get off the mark. For an each-way punt, Chatty Girl is the obvious one, with the right mix of solid recent form and a workable rating. If the favourite fluffs her lines again, Chatty Girl is the likeliest to pick up the pieces.

14:45 – Safer Gambling At CopyBet Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 4f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a fairly tight little maiden on paper, but it may not take much solving. Jimmy Hurdstrom and Plains Drifter dominate the discussion on ratings and recent form, and between them they set a clear standard in a race lacking depth. Jimmy Hurdstrom has the strongest figure in the field and arrives with solid, consistent hurdling form, while Plains Drifter has been knocking firmly on the door and doesn’t look far off his turn. Manalishi is the interesting alternative after only two starts in this sphere, but he needs to step forward. The younger pair Dontelimurnamepike and Ebony Ebbs receive weight, though only the former has any realistic place angle, while Sims’ Law has shown very little. It’s not a deep maiden, but it is competitive enough behind the principals.
Top Selections
1. Jimmy Hurdstrom – 10/11 with Bet365
Jockey: Stan Sheppard | Trainer: Tom Lacey | Form: 2-2453 | Rating: 127 | Topspeed: 114
Jimmy Hurdstrom sets the standard and, at this level, that matters. His form figures tell the story of a horse who has been holding his own in better races than this without quite finding the finishing blow, and a mark of 127 gives him a clear edge on these. Tom Lacey’s horses usually know their job in this sort of contest, and Stan Sheppard is a solid booking around Market Rasen. He’s not bombproof at odds-on and there is a slight concern that he’s becoming expensive to follow, but this is a weaker race than some he’s been contesting. If he runs to his mark, he should take plenty of beating. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Manalishi – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Bannister | Trainer: Richard Phillips | Form: 2-3 | Rating: 111 | Topspeed: 70
Manalishi makes each-way appeal in a race where the market is heavily focused on the front two. He’s only had the two runs over hurdles and both contained enough promise to think there’s more to come, particularly now going up to 2m4f. The bare figures leave him a bit to find with Jimmy Hurdstrom and Plains Drifter, but he’s far less exposed than those and Harry Bannister is the sort to get one into a rhythm from the front or handy. At 13/2, he looks the value against a favourite who has had his chances, and in a six-runner race with two places, he’s the one I’d want on side for a place at the very least. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Jimmy Hurdstrom is the percentage call and looks the right win bet given his clear edge on ratings and the strength of his recent form. For an each-way punt, Manalishi appeals as the unexposed alternative at a fairer price. Plains Drifter is the obvious danger after a string of solid efforts, but he’s short enough in the market for a horse who keeps finding one too good.

15:20 – CopyBet Handicap Hurdle
Race Details: 2m 2f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This looks a pretty typical Market Rasen handicap hurdle for the grade: competitive enough, but not deep. Lord Chamberlain heads the market after getting off the mark last time and, on the figures, he is the obvious one to beat despite top weight. The danger is that he is now plenty short enough in an 11-runner race where a few arrive with workable profiles. Ruler Legend is an interesting one after a recent success from a low weight and still looks well treated enough to go in again, while Play Pretend has been knocking loudly on the door and should give another solid account. Snapius also comes here on the back of a win, but this feels a race where handicapping and value matter more than simple last-time-out victories.
Top Selections
1. Ruler Legend – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny McMenamin | Trainer: Gary Hanmer | Form: F65651 | Rating: 105 | Topspeed: 88
Ruler Legend makes plenty of appeal at the prices. He finally put things together when winning last time and, crucially, he still races here from a very manageable 10st 8lb in a race where several of his main rivals are lumping plenty more. The recent form line is hardly flashy on paper, but it suggested he is coming to hand at the right time and this track can suit horses ridden positively and accurately. Danny McMenamin is a good booking for that sort of job. At 5/1 with Bet365, he looks a fair bit more attractive than the favourite in a race where the gaps are not huge. Bet type: WIN.
Bet: WIN
2. Play Pretend – 17/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Lee Edwards | Trainer: Dave Roberts | Form: 3U1322 | Rating: 101 | Topspeed: 89
Play Pretend is the each-way play because he brings the most reliable recent profile outside the favourite. Those last three completed runs of 3, 2 and 2 tell the story: he is running to a solid level, holding his form, and giving himself a chance nearly every time. In a Class 5 like this, that consistency counts for plenty. He is only 5 and there is still room for a bit more progress over this sort of trip, while a mark of 101 does not look beyond him at all. Available at 17/2 with Bet365, he makes obvious each-way sense in an 11-runner field with three places on offer. Bet type: EACH-WAY.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Ruler Legend is the win bet at 5/1 because he has the right blend of recent improvement and a handy racing weight. Play Pretend is the sensible each-way punt given how consistently he has been hitting the frame. Lord Chamberlain is the clear danger and may simply be better than this grade, but he looks short enough under top weight in a race where there are alternatives at better prices.

15:55 – Live Racing Streaming At CopyBet Handicap Chase
Race Details: 2m 1f | Class 5 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a modest little six-runner handicap chase rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to Grain Trade, who comes here after a pair of solid efforts in defeat. He looks the obvious starting point, but I would not call this a penalty kick. Catchim has plenty of back form in races of this nature and James Bowen is an eyecatching booking, while Jiair Madrik has bits and pieces of chase form that put him in the conversation if he can put in a clean round. The others have more to prove, although O’Grady’s Hill at least arrives in slightly better heart than Greenways and Chateau Du Lys. In a race lacking depth, accuracy at the fences and a bit of tactical speed around here will count for plenty.
Top Selections
1. Grain Trade – 13/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Gavin Sheehan | Trainer: Billy Aprahamian | Form: 1FP244 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 95
Grain Trade is no secret in this company, but he still makes the most appeal. His mark of 108 is workable in a race where not many arrive with persuasive recent profiles, and those back-to-back fourths suggest he is holding his form well enough. The earlier win in his sequence shows he can get the job done when things fall right, and this smaller field should help him settle and jump with a bit more fluency. Gavin Sheehan is a positive presence in a race that may become tactical. At 13/8 he is hardly a giveaway, but he is still the one with the most solid claims. Bet: WIN
2. Catchim – 11/4 with Bet365
Jockey: James Bowen | Trainer: Charles & Adam Pogson | Form: 3225P3 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed: 99
Catchim is the each-way angle because he has enough consistency in his profile to think he can get involved again, and the booking of James Bowen catches the eye immediately. His recent third was a step back in the right direction after a poor run, and earlier figures of 3-2-2 tell you he has been competitive plenty of times from this sort of mark. He shares the highest rating in the field and his topspeed figure is the best on offer, which gives him a fair chance if this turns into a proper test rather than a crawl. At 11/4 he is not wildly priced, but in a six-runner race he still looks the safest alternative to the favourite. Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Grain Trade is the win play because he brings the strongest recent form into a weak Class 5 and does not need to improve much to take this. Catchim is the each-way punt on the strength of his rating, his better topspeed figure and the Bowen booking. Jiair Madrik is the main danger if his jumping holds up, while O’Grady’s Hill could nick a place if the principals underperform.

16:30 – Market Rasen Racecourse Caravan & Touring Park Novices’ Handicap Chase (GBB Race)
Race Details: 2m 3f | Class 4 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This may only be a five-runner novice handicap chase, but it is no gimme. Cuban Court and Southoftheborder bring the strongest recent form to the table and it would be no surprise if the pair dominated again, while Icare Colombe is interesting now back in calmer waters after getting off the mark last time. Kayce Dutton has bits of form that give him a squeak, though his profile is less convincing, and Singapore Trip probably needs another step forward despite winning latest. In a small field like this, tactical sharpness and clean jumping will count for plenty at Market Rasen. It looks a tight little race rather than a deep one, and I slightly prefer the runner who still appeals as being on the upgrade over fences.
Top Selections
1. Southoftheborder – 2/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Paul O’Brien | Trainer: Henrietta C Knight | Form: 223351 | Rating: 123 | Topspeed: 116
Southoftheborder makes most appeal in a race where there is not much room for error. He arrives off the back of a win, his recent sequence is solid, and that Topspeed figure of 116 is the best in the field, which matters in a race likely to be decided by efficiency rather than drama. Henrietta Knight’s runner has been knocking on the door for a while and now looks ready to make a proper fist of life in this sphere. Paul O’Brien is a positive booking and, at 2/1 with Bet365, he is short enough but still the percentage call. He holds strong claims of backing up that latest success.
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in this five-runner field: Southoftheborder is the win bet. Each-way betting makes little appeal with only two places on offer and such a compact line-up. Cuban Court is the obvious danger after his own productive spell, while Icare Colombe is the one who could easily outrun his price if building on that latest win.

Race Details: 2m 5f | Class 1 | Going: Chase 7.0, hurdle 7.4) (watering) (rail movements (Good (goingstick) | | jumps
This is a smart little mares’ handicap chase rather than a deep one, and the market has understandably latched on to the progressive pair Jasmine Bliss and Bluey. Both arrive with strong recent form and the right profiles for a race of this type, while Molto Bene has been knocking on the door often enough to make her impossible to dismiss. Ruby Island comes here in winning form too and is respected, but she’s a nine-year-old now and may find one or two younger legs too sharp if this turns tactical. With only eight runners, position and jumping rhythm could be crucial around Market Rasen, and I suspect this will be decided by which of the principals travels best into the straight rather than by a wild pace collapse. Tricky enough, but not unfathomable.
Top Selections
1. Bluey – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Harry Cobden | Trainer: Emma Lavelle | Form: -14212 | Rating: 140 | Topspeed: 131
Bluey makes most appeal. She brings the best Topspeed figure in the field, has been running with real consistency, and her latest second reads perfectly well in the context of this race. An opening mark of 140 isn’t a gift in a Class 1 mares’ handicap, but she looks the type who can still edge forward over fences and this 2m5f should be right in her comfort zone. Harry Cobden is an eye-catching booking in a race where sharp decision-making will matter, and at 7/2 she still looks fair rather than cramped. She’s the one I want on side if this turns into a proper test of class and fluency. Bet type: win.
Bet: WIN
2. Ruby Island – 6/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Danny McMenamin | Trainer: Nicky Richards | Form: 214431 | Rating: 138 | Topspeed: 128
Ruby Island looks the value each-way angle in a race where the front two in the betting dominate the conversation. She arrives off the back of a win, her recent form figures are rock-solid, and a mark of 138 leaves her close enough to the principals to make this interesting. Nicky Richards rarely wastes a trip with one in this sort of race and Danny McMenamin is a positive rider when confidence is up. She’s not obviously thrown in, but she is dependable, jumps well enough to hold her position, and doesn’t need to improve dramatically to hit the frame. At 6/1, she’s the sensible each-way punt with three places on offer.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Bluey is the win play because she has the strongest blend of current form, speed figure and upside. For those looking to play the place terms, Ruby Island makes plenty of sense each-way at 6/1 given her recent consistency. Jasmine Bliss is the obvious danger, while Molto Bene is another who wouldn’t surprise if again finding plenty but just proving slightly vulnerable late on.

This looks a fairly ordinary bumper on paper despite one notably well-connected runner at the top of the market. Numero Ventotto brings the big-yard angle for Nicky Henderson and it is no surprise to see him dominating the betting, while Royal March, Crystal Glade and Sea Lord add interest among the newcomers. In terms of actual racecourse evidence, Batchelor’s Lad and Popalot are the two with the most persuasive form, both having already hit the frame, and that often counts for plenty in a race where several are complete unknowns. The shape of it suggests tactical speed and professionalism will matter as much as raw ability, so while the favourite may simply be better than these, it is not an especially deep contest and there could be value away from the obvious one.
Top Selections
1. Numero Ventotto – 1/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Nico de Boinville | Trainer: Nicky Henderson | Form: | Rating: | Topspeed:
You do not need to overthink every bumper, and this one may fall into that category. Henderson’s 4yo gets plenty of weight from the older horses and is partnered by Nico de Boinville, which tells its own story in a race lacking much depth. The market has him very short and, while even-money is hardly a gift in a contest featuring several unknown quantities, he is still the one with the most obvious upside. Against modest opposition and on decent ground at a track where a slick, professional type can travel into it nicely, he is hard to oppose. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Batchelor’s Lad
Jockey: Joe Williamson | Trainer: Philip Kirby | Form: 2 | Rating: 108 | Topspeed:
If you want to play against the short-priced favourite, Batchelor’s Lad makes most appeal as the each-way angle. He already has a solid piece of bumper form in the book after finishing second, and that experience can be a major asset in a race full of debutants. The 4yo also receives weight from the older brigade and his mark of 108 gives him the best figure in the field, narrowly ahead of Popalot. Philip Kirby’s runners are often seen to good effect in these northern races and this one looks straightforward enough to give you a run for your money. He is the percentage each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Numero Ventotto is the win play because the stable, jockey booking and weight-for-age edge all point the right way. For an each-way option, Batchelor’s Lad is the sensible alternative given he has already shown ability under race conditions. Popalot is the obvious danger on known form, while Royal March is the newcomer to note if the market speaks positively.
