Fair form when placed on all three 2m hurdle starts; bred to be suited by this new trip.
2	6 2nd (6) (10/11 +24%) Tread Carefully	0.909091 10/11(+24%)	(6) Tread Carefully 10/11, Unseated in a maiden hurdle at Southwell latest when going well in front; previous form franked; autumn runner up effort sets standard; effective 2m on good to soft; good chance in this. Second to useful rivals twice over hurdles; big player if this new trip suits.
3	4 3rd (4) (40/1 -21%) Exiguus	40 40/1(-21%)	(4) Exiguus 40/1, Green and jumped poorly, modest debut comfortably held in a maiden hurdle here last time; effective 2m, acts on good to soft; showed promise in bumpers but needs more to figure. Not disgraced on last month's hurdling debut but remains best watched.
4	1 4th (1) (7/2 -5%) Ade Boy	3.5 7/2(-5%)	(1) Ade Boy 7/2, Ran to form 8l third in a maiden hurdle at Huntingdon most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft and good; form of bumper win had knocks but brings plenty of potential to hurdles for new yard, should come on for latest. Irish bumper winner; looked promising on both 2m hurdle starts; up in trip today.
2	2 \|PU\| (2) (300/1 -140%) Destination Unkown	300 300/1(-140%)	(2) Destination Unkown 300/1, Stopped quickly, made too much use of well beaten in a handicap at Southwell latest; off a short-break; showed nothing on flat, all to prove.

14:13 Market Rasen (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

TREAD CAREFULLY was second at Southwell two starts ago and had yet to be asked a question when unseating his rider four out at the same venue subsequently. On that evidence, the five-year-old could be hard to beat with a clear round on this occasion. Emerald Breeze has made the frame in all three hurdles starts to date and is likely to be in the mix once again, while Ade Boy is next best.

Emerald Breeze should benefit from this step up on trip and is not opposed lightly but TREAD CAREFULLY probably has the best form.

14:48 Market Rasen (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

BY THE GRACE got off the mark under this rider at Hereford a month ago and a 3lb rise may not be enough to stop her from going in again. That said, De Deli Counter was a promising third at Sedgefield last time and may improve with first-time cheekpieces now applied. The recent Southwell third Fine As Wine completes the shortlist.

There should be more to come from FINE AS WINE, who was placed on her handicap debut and appears to be heading in the right direction.

15:23 Market Rasen (Class 4) 23f Race Class Flow

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

Ballynaheer's winning run came to an end when last of four at Huntingdon, but it is too soon to be writing him off. Preference is still for DANGEROUS TOUCH, who was second that day and makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. The lack of a recent run is a concern for Achille Des Rocs, but he remains one to be interested in.

Topweight DANGEROUS TOUCH suffered an agonising defeat at Huntingdon last month but is taken to gain compensation here.

Won off reduced hurdle mark last month; only fourth of six on chase debut soon afterwards.
2	2 2nd (2) (11/1 -10%) Gower Prince	11 11/1(-10%)	(2) Gower Prince 11/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter latest where taken on up front and did too much too soon; returning from long layoff; effective 2m, wants sound surface, needs to dominate; better over fences but plenty to prove at present. Absent since pulled up over hurdles last summer but makes stable debut from a good mark.
3	5 3rd (5) (10/3 +44%) Cawthorne Cracker	3.333333 10/3(+44%)	(5) Cawthorne Cracker 10/3, Ran roughly to form beaten 10l in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle last time; in good form prior; effective 2m, wants sound surface; back in form and mark fair. Went close over fences in September; off since October; genuine good ground suits best.
4	7 4th (7) (5/1 +9%) Lone Soldier	5 5/1(+9%)	(7) Lone Soldier 5/1, Unseated in a handicap chase here latest when booked for third; effective 2-3m, acts on soft and good to soft; inconsistent, maiden for a reason. Clear second over C&D in January but not quite in same form since.

Good third at Hereford last month and still lightly raced over fences; shortlisted.
6th	8 6th (8) (9/1 +10%) Beat The Edge	9 9/1(+10%)	(8) Beat The Edge 9/1, Travelled but another weak finish, ran to form 5 1/4l third in a handicap chase here most recent run; effective up to 2m5f, acts on soft, good; often finds little in finish. Ran quite well over C&D last month but doesn't always find much when the chips are down.

4	4 \|PU\| (4) (12/1 +33%) It's Party Time	12 12/1(+33%)	(4) It's Party Time 12/1, Outpaced, improved but looked in need of stiffer test when fourth beaten 16l in a novice hurdle at Doncaster latest; effective at 3m in points; do better now handicapping over fences but may ideally want a longer trip. Very unexposed under rules; worth market check before chase/handicap debut.

15:58 Market Rasen (Class 5) 17f Race Class Flow

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

KALLY DES BRUYERES could only manage fourth when fancied to supplement a Huntingdon triumph on his chasing debut at Taunton. That experience won't be lost on him, though, and he is comparatively well treated in this sphere. Forsa Bay went some way to putting a Sedgefield disappointment behind him when making the frame at Hereford and is slipping back to an attractive mark. A change of scenery could spark some life back into Gower Prince.

Free-going front-runner GOWER PRINCE makes his stable debut from a very tempting mark and might be worth chancing.

Soundly beaten on first two stable starts but recent Carlisle fifth was much better.
2	6 2nd (6) (9/2 +44%) Bunker Bay	4.5 9/2(+44%)	(6) Bunker Bay 9/2, Ran to form 8 1/2l third in a handicap hurdle here most recent run; effective 2m, acts on soft, good to soft; in fair form in both codes. 0-6 over hurdles but stuck to his task pretty well when third over C&D last month.
3	2 3rd (2) (9/5 +4%) Kalkaroo	1.8 9/5(+4%)	(2) Kalkaroo 9/5, Scored by a short-head off a 2lb lower mark here three starts back; chased home well treated progressive rival here last time; effective 2m-2m2f, acts on good to soft and good; in form, remains well treated on maiden form. Twice in the frame since game C&D win in February; strong contender again.

Won basement-grade AW race in February but overall profile not persuasive.

Won twice in 2025 but has looked badly out of sorts on both appearances this year.
5	5 \|PU\| (5) (25/1 -108%) Bouboule	25 25/1(-108%)	(5) Bouboule 25/1, Outpaced, poor Flat return well beaten in a handicap at Newcastle latest; effective 12-14f, acts on good to firm and AW; maiden in both codes but fair mark on best juvenile form.

16:33 Market Rasen (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Gavin Sheehan seems to get the best out of KALKAROO, but Sam Twiston-Davies is a more than able replacement and Billy Aprahamian's in-form five-year-old can go one better than he did over C&D last month. He was a position and more than four lengths ahead of Bunker Bay there and has most to fear now from Diesel Line, who has been freshened up since ending a successful first stint for the Pogsons with a solid Doncaster fourth.

Clear second to a heavily backed rival here last month, KALKAROO (nap) can go one better and record his second C&D win of the year.

Irish point winner; made good start to rules career when second at Huntingdon last month.
2	2 2nd (2) (7/1 +7%) Buck Whaley	7 7/1(+7%)	(2) Buck Whaley 7/1, Yard has won 2 of last 5 runnings of race; ran to form when fourth beaten 11l in a maiden point at Bartlemy latest; returning from long layoff; tongue-tie first time; showed only modest form in points.

17:05 Market Rasen (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Black Eddy has had wind surgery since coming up well short in a Listed race won by Bass Hunter at Ascot and he can't be written off just yet. Thanks to his previous Chepstow victory, he does have to concede weight all round and maybe KILDARE D'IRLANDE can take advantage because the 90,000-pound recruit from the point-to-point ranks got closest to a smart prospect at Huntingdon and can take a step forward. Taranis Dubh also tasted success between the flags and commands attention too.

Another chance can be given to BLACK EDDY, who looked very promising when winning on his debut and probably had excuses last time.

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.
