13:51 Market Rasen (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (2/7 +36%) Un Sens A La Vie	0.285714 2/7(+36%)	(4) Un Sens A La Vie 2/7, Made a promising bumper debut when winning a maiden bumper here by 3 1/2l last time; the trainer is in form; bumper winner at 2m with more to come over hurdles; point winner likely to stay further than 2m. Bought for £180,000 after winning 3m Irish point and easily won a bumper here in February.
2	3 2nd (3) (5/1 +0%) Pioneer Pete	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Pioneer Pete 5/1, From a yard that won this race last year; ran to form when 2l third in a bumper over 2m at Warwick last time; effective at 2m on good ground and has shown promise in bumpers; remains competitive now going over hurdles. Close up in good-ground bumpers at Warwick and posted respectable RPRs.
3	5 3rd (5) (22/1 -120%) Westernesse	22 22/1(-120%)	(5) Westernesse 22/1, May not have stayed when down the field in a handicap over 12f at Chester last time; effective between 8f and 10f, acts on good to soft, good to firm and all-weather; was in good form before his last couple of flat runs; stamina to prove on hurdle debut. Three Flat wins for former yard; made a quiet stable debut at Chester.
4	2 4th (2) (14/1 +13%) Heart Over Head	14 14/1(+13%)	(2) Heart Over Head 14/1, Showed improvement from debut despite some mistakes and greenness when well beaten in a novice hurdle over 2m at Warwick last time; hood applied for the first time; effective at 2m on good ground and should benefit from that run. Twice disappointed over hurdles since finishing second in a bumper here.
5th	1 5th (1) (80/1 +20%) Cuillin Ridge	80 80/1(+20%)	(1) Cuillin Ridge 80/1, Green and outpaced when running to form but well beaten in a maiden hurdle over 2m at Uttoxeter last time; effective at 2m on good ground and looks one for handicaps over further. Beaten about 17l in both his bumpers and 22l in both his runs over hurdles.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 +40%) Free Pic	12 12/1(+40%)	(7) Free Pic 12/1, Improved when stepped up in trip to win a 12f handicap at Newcastle by 2 1/4l last time; effective between 8f and 10f, unexposed at 10f and still progressing. A winner last time out on the Flat (1m4f AW) but at a very low level.
7th	6 7th (6) (100/1 -1329%) Star Pupil	100 100/1(-1329%)	(6) Star Pupil 100/1, Made too much use of when well beaten in a 10f handicap at Newbury last time; likes to make the running; returns from a short break; effective at 10f and currently in modest form. All four Flat wins on the AW and had far inferior figures on turf; stamina not guaranteed.

13:51 Market Rasen (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Heart Over Head has potential but he will need to polish up his hurdling if he wants to get involved in the finish and may have to settle for a place. Pioneer Pete is bred for the job and showed promise in his bumpers with a second and a third at Warwick, so could be the bigger danger to UN SENS A LA VIE. A point-to-point winner, he landed his bumper with ease here in February and looks to have a bright future ahead of him.

This looks a good opportunity for course bumper winner UN SENS A LA VIE to make a successful start over hurdles.

1	3 1st (3) (10/1 -100%) Freshers Week	10 10/1(-100%)	(3) Freshers Week 10/1, Showed promise when winning by a neck in a 3m maiden at Taylorstown on debut. A 3m point winner, with 2m4f a reasonable starting point under rules. Bought for £50,000 after edging home in a four-runner Irish point; has to be respected.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/8 +8%) Stumps Or Slips	1.375 11/8(+8%)	(1) Stumps Or Slips 11/8, The yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Outpaced and below form when upped in grade, unsuited by how the race developed and comfortably held in a 2m4f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Previously in good form and well treated on chase form, with more to come over hurdles. Won his first four for this yard and Worcester last time too bad to be true; penalised.
3	2 3rd (2) (4/5 +0%) Country Park	0.8 4/5(+0%)	(2) Country Park 4/5, Fell early in a 2m handicap hurdle at Aintree last time; may have won but for falling at Ascot last year; sets the standard; represents the speed and form selection. Good handicap form to his name and major player back in a novice.
4	4 4th (4) (40/1 -100%) Lady Velouette	40 40/1(-100%)	(4) Lady Velouette 40/1, Made a promising hurdle debut when fourth, beaten 10l in a 2m1f maiden hurdle here last time. A 3m pointer who is likely to need a bit more time under rules and further than 2m. Ran okay in a maiden hurdle here last month but appears to have the weakest form claims.

14:21 Market Rasen (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Freshers Week looks an interesting recruit to the Charlie Longsdon yard after winning his point-to-point, but at this stage of his career he may be best watched. STUMPS OR SLIPS returned to hurdles after landing his hat-trick over fences with a comfortable win at Worcester and, although he ran poorly last time out, that was a far better race and he can be easily forgiven. Country Park is noted too.

Freshers Week is the dark horse but COUNTRY PARK has the best form and this looks his chance to shed the maiden status.

14:51 Market Rasen (Class 4) 16f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	6 1st (6) (5/4 +9%) Indemnity	1.25 5/4(+9%)	(6) Indemnity 5/4, Well backed and improved to win a handicap by 9l off 108 over 2m at Warwick last time; trainer in good form and looks the pick on balance of form off generous mark in hat trick bid. Good Flat horse and bolted up at Warwick last time (May); 7lb rise could have been worse.
2	1 2nd (1) (9/1 +36%) Bowmore	9 9/1(+36%)	(1) Bowmore 9/1, Made mistakes and ran below form when 19l third in a handicap chase over 2m at Chepstow on his most recent outing. Yet to match form of Irish efforts for this yard. Well beaten in handicap chases for this yard earlier this year and likely best watched.
3	3 3rd (3) (9/1 +18%) Vocito	9 9/1(+18%)	(3) Vocito 9/1, Won by 3 1/4l off 117 over 2m at Uttoxeter three starts back; failed to stay when eighth beaten 8 1/2l off 122 last time; enjoys making the running and has done well since joining this yard. Feasible excuses since doing well to win off only 3lb lower at Uttoxeter.
4	2 4th (2) (13/2 +7%) Parc D'amour	6.5 13/2(+7%)	(2) Parc D'amour 13/2, Raced keenly and perhaps not suited by the ground when below form, finishing fourth beaten 26l in a handicap chase at Stratford last time; returns from a long absence. Effective over hurdles but this might be a pipe-opener before returning to chasing.
5th	4 5th (4) (17/2 -89%) Chaos Control	8.5 17/2(-89%)	(4) Chaos Control 17/2, Needed the run when well beaten in a handicap over 12f at Newmarket last time; effective over 2m, acts on good ground and generally consistent over hurdles. On a dangerous mark but finished last on the Flat only recently after a long absence.
6th	7 6th (7) (10/3 -11%) Forget The Way	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(7) Forget The Way 10/3, Raced keenly and had too much to do off a modest pace when beaten a nose off 113 over 2m at Southwell last time; suited by 2m on good ground and generally consistent. Usually thereabouts, as again when going down narrowly at Southwell 12 days ago.
7th	5 7th (5) (9/1 +36%) Takeit Easy	9 9/1(+36%)	(5) Takeit Easy 9/1, Found the class rise too demanding when below form and down the field in a handicap hurdle here last time; returns from a long absence but not without a chance. Historically well treated but now back from another absence and he's a 10yo now.

14:51 Market Rasen (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Indemnity was an easy winner in May and has won two of his four starts over hurdles, but he has been put up 7lb. A chance is taken on the more experienced CHAOS CONTROL, the winner of two of his three starts over C&D and only beaten a length into third in a class 2 at Perth in August 2024. Given a pipe-opener on the Flat last month, he should be ready to go now. Forget The Way is the pick for third.

The 5yo INDEMNITY (nap) was a good Flat horse and he's going the right way over hurdles, winning so easily at Warwick last time.

15:21 Market Rasen (Class 5) 23f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +25%) Tankardstown Diva	2.5 5/2(+25%)	(2) Tankardstown Diva 5/2, Returned to form on her second start for this yard when second, beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f at Warwick last time; effective from 2m2f to 3m. Runner-up at Warwick and returning to further could be a good move as she stays 3m.
2	1 2nd (1) (3/1 +75%) Sandscape	3 3/1(+75%)	(1) Sandscape 3/1, Outpaced but returned to form when fourth, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Worcester last time; worth stepping up to this 3m trip. Sign of handicapping progress when beaten about 8l into fourth at Worcester; up in trip.
3	6 3rd (6) (11/2 -10%) Seahouses	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(6) Seahouses 11/2, Below form in a slightly stronger race when taken on up front and finishing fourth, beaten 9l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Wincanton last time. Seemingly on a fairly tough mark but can run well if ready for business, provided he stays.
4	9 4th (9) (40/1 -21%) Lord Warburton	40 40/1(-21%)	(9) Lord Warburton 40/1, Fell in a handicap hurdle over 2m3f here last time; effective around 2m2f and acts on good ground, though inconsistent. Surprise winner here just over a year ago (2m2f, good) but generally disappointing since.
5th	7 5th (7) (9/1 -29%) Moro Rock	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Moro Rock 9/1, Scored by 2 1/2l off 81 over 3m2f at Stratford on his penultimate start; below form off a revised mark when eighth, beaten 33l off 85 last time after several errors; returns from a short break. Won at Stratford (3m2f, good) after two seconds and Cartmel last time was too bad.
6th	11 6th (11) (11/1 +31%) Perfect Arch	11 11/1(+31%)	(11) Perfect Arch 11/1, Ran to form, just flattening out late when fourth, beaten 11l in a handicap hurdle over 2m4f at Perth last time; second run after a wind operation and effective around 2 1/2m. Fair final run but does have about 7l to find with runner-up Kopa Kilana.
7th	8 7th (8) (10/3 -142%) Ruler Of The River	3.333333 10/3(-142%)	(8) Ruler Of The River 10/3, Returned to form back over hurdles, winning a handicap by 3l off 77 over 2m5f at Plumpton last time; effective from 2–2 1/2m and handles any ground; remains fairly treated on maiden form. Raised fair 5lb for Plumpton (2m4f) and gives the impression that he'll stay this far.
8th	10 8th (10) (33/1 -65%) Another Pearl	33 33/1(-65%)	(10) Another Pearl 33/1, Hampered by an early faller, outpaced and did not travel, finding the ground too quick when well held in a handicap hurdle over 2m6f at Stratford last time; off a short break and one for handicaps over further on easier ground. Unexposed and reportedly resented the fast ground when tailed off on handicap debut.
9th	13 9th (13) (50/1 +0%) Raincloud	50 50/1(+0%)	(13) Raincloud 50/1, Outpaced and beaten early when finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle over 2m1f at Cartmel last time; off a short break; an exposed maiden under both codes. Well beaten when dropped back to 2m1f at Cartmel a fortnight ago and now 0-32.
10th	12 10th (12) (33/1 -50%) High Grounds	33 33/1(-50%)	(12) High Grounds 33/1, Pulled up in a handicap hurdle at Uttoxeter last time; needs to prove his ability remains after a long layoff. Two near misses in May 2022 but then absent until pulled up at Uttoxeter a month ago.
11th	3 11th (3) (33/1 +50%) El Muchacho	33 33/1(+50%)	(3) El Muchacho 33/1, Failed to stay and was well beaten in a handicap chase over 3m at Uttoxeter last time; currently out of form. Bought for £3,000 out of Olly Murphy's yard and has shown nothing for his new yard.
12th	5 12th (5) (66/1 -164%) Uncle Al	66 66/1(-164%)	(5) Uncle Al 66/1, Showed improvement when third, beaten 23l in a novice hurdle over 2m4f at Hexham on his latest run; needs to build on that effort in handicaps. Showed a smidgeon more last time but doesn't look obviously well in for handicap debut.

15:21 Market Rasen (Class 5) 23f Race Class Flow

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

RULER OF THE RIVER registered her first success in a handicap hurdle with a tenacious effort at Plumpton last month and could again be tough to deal with running off a 5lb higher mark. That was also her first run for Fergal O'Brien, who appears to have found a good opportunity for back-to-back wins. Tankardstown Diva showed some improvement at Warwick most recently and she is another appealing contender on just her third start for the Tom Ellis yard. Seahouses completes the shortlist.

Henry Daly had one run well after a break at Chepstow on Friday and SANDSCAPE appeals as a likely improver over this longer trip.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	1 1st (1) (16/5 +36%) Sure Touch	3.2 16/5(+36%)	(1) Sure Touch 16/5, Outpaced and comfortably held in a handicap chase over 3m at Bangor-on-Dee last time. The trainer is in form, but he has been disappointing so far in 2025. Too well handicapped to dismiss but hasn't been running well for a while now.
2	5 2nd (5) (3/1 +14%) Nickelforce	3 3/1(+14%)	(5) Nickelforce 3/1, Travelled well but was outstayed up the hill when beaten 3l off 110 over 2m6f at Kelso last time. Consistent performer around 2½m. He's been performing well this summer from 2m5f to 3m; has course form; involved.
3	3 3rd (3) (12/1 -100%) Malaita	12 12/1(-100%)	(3) Malaita 12/1, Made too much use of and needed the run when comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time. Likes to race prominently; currently out of form and better over fences. Capable hurdler/chaser when on song but hasn't fired in her last four races.
4	2 4th (2) (9/2 +0%) Lunar Discovery	4.5 9/2(+0%)	(2) Lunar Discovery 9/2, Returned to form when dropping in grade, flattening out late to finish 5l third in a 2m handicap chase at Uttoxeter after a break. Effective from 2m to 2½m and on any ground; on a fair mark and should build on that run. Recent third on stable debut came over an inadequate 2m, so that was a good run.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/2 +31%) Chief Black Robe	4.5 9/2(+31%)	(6) Chief Black Robe 9/2, Failed to find much after briefly threatening when comfortably held in a 2m7f handicap hurdle at Worcester last time. Usually held up; effective from 2½m to 3m. Well treated on old chase form but inconsistent since returning from a layoff. Now back with Fergal O'Brien who orchestrated all his previous wins.
6th	4 6th (4) (9/2 -80%) Lermoos Legend	4.5 9/2(-80%)	(4) Lermoos Legend 9/2, Won by 9½l off 102 over 2m1f here three starts back and ran to form when fourth, beaten 2l off 113 last time. Effective from 2m to 2½m, handles good and good to soft ground; thriving at present. Not beaten far off this mark last time but could be vulnerable again.

15:51 Market Rasen (Class 3) 21f Race Class Flow

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

The dependable NICKELFORCE has posted some respectable efforts in defeat lately and can go one better after finishing second off the same mark at Kelso last month. Lermoos Legend represents an in-form yard and could be the biggest danger to the selection if his stamina holds out as he steps back up in distance. Lunar Discovery also merits a betting check on just her second start for Robbie Llewellyn.

Sure Touch has to be respected but preference is for NICKELFORCE who continues to threaten a third success over fences.

1	4 1st (4) (2/1 +60%) Grain Trade	2 2/1(+60%)	(4) Grain Trade 2/1, Below form but showed some promise when dropped in trip on chase debut, finishing fourth beaten 13l in a handicap chase over 2m1f at Worcester last time; a value selection on overall form. Maiden hurdler who ran okay to be a 12l fourth on chase debut at Worcester (2m).
2	1 2nd (1) (10/3 -21%) I Am Rocco	3.333333 10/3(-21%)	(1) I Am Rocco 10/3, Improved when just beaten by a handicap blot, finishing second by 12l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Uttoxeter last time; effective from 2 1/2m to 3m and fairly treated on old Irish form. Three solid runs for current yard and bumped into a bang-in-form rival at Uttoxeter.
3	2 3rd (2) (2/1 -7%) Independent Jimmy	2 2/1(-7%)	(2) Independent Jimmy 2/1, Won by a neck off 92 over 2m4f at Bangor-on-Dee on his penultimate start; keen and clear when a bad mistake at the last saw him caught late, finishing an unlucky second by 2l off 96 last time; suited by 2 1/2m on good ground and in good form. Looked sure to win on chase debut until reeled in late on; same mark here.
4	3 4th (3) (8/1 +11%) Wild Nephin	8 8/1(+11%)	(3) Wild Nephin 8/1, Probably failed to stay when well beaten in a handicap hurdle over 2m7f at Uttoxeter last time; inconsistent performer. Beaten in two chases during the summer and struggles have continued back over hurdles.
5th	6 5th (6) (9/1 -100%) Great Ballinboris	9 9/1(-100%)	(6) Great Ballinboris 9/1, Ran to form when finishing second, beaten 8 1/2l in a handicap chase over 2m5f at Carlisle last time; among the contenders. Second after wind surgery at Carlisle in April and he could build on that.
6th	5 6th (5) (10/1 -11%) Liloo D'ores	10 10/1(-11%)	(5) Liloo D'ores 10/1, Outpaced throughout and comfortably held when continuing in poor form in a handicap hurdle at Warwick last time; currently out of form. Belatedly returns to fences after some uninspiring runs over hurdles.
7th	8 7th (8) (50/1 -52%) Jackhammer	50 50/1(-52%)	(8) Jackhammer 50/1, Stepped up in trip but failed to stay when fourth beaten 34l in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Perth last time; best around 2m, capable off this low mark though out of form. Very opposable on the balance of his chase form, especially from 7lb out of the weights.
7	7 \|RR\| (7) (300/1 -500%) Across The Ocean	300 300/1(-500%)	(7) Across The Ocean 300/1, Keen and made mistakes on a poor chase debut, finishing down the field in a handicap chase over 2m4f at Southwell most recently; out of form for new stable. 17-race maiden who has lost his way badly and has to compete from 5lb out of the weights.

16:21 Market Rasen (Class 5) 19f Race Class Flow

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

I AM ROCCO came up against the progressive Shantou Lucky when runner-up at Uttoxeter last month. This looks an easier assignment and a 3lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. Independent Jimmy took well to the larger obstacles when finding only one too good at Worcester on his chasing bow and should prove competitive once again, while Carlisle second Great Ballinboris could go well on his first start since April.

A thin-looking handicap and probably a good opportunity for I AM ROCCO to gain a deserved win after three solid efforts.

LTO Selection:

16:55 Market Rasen (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Stuart Edmunds' yard has been among the winners this month and it could be worth siding with INDIZA. His half-brother Immutable has won on both the Flat and over hurdles and the son of Ribchester could have the edge in the finale. Cracks Speed is a rare runner in this discipline for Richard Hughes and he's worth monitoring in the market, while Bebop is related to hurdle winners and is another to note.

No form to go on. INDIZA has an eyecatching Flat pedigree and stamina shouldn't be an issue, yet it could be for Cracks Speed.

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.
