Market Rasen 1.40

NORTHERN - Market Rasen 1.40 Handicap Hurdle - Class 5 - 2 miles 7 furlongs - 12 run - Good to Soft
A competitive little heat and a couple at the top end of the market who will take some beating. Imperial Hurricane comes from the in-form Bailey yard off a 265 day break and is upped in trip on handicap debut, it has no known P2P form so is a genuine dark horse. Olivers Island was a runner up last time at decent odds off a mark of 79 and should be bang in contention, it's in the Tracker but the price is skinny. Baghdad Central and All Star Bert are of some interest on past form but both should benefit from the run off a break of 288 and 270 days respectively.
The pair I like at bigger odds are MILFOLHAS HAS from the Bowen yard who do well at this Course, it made a promising handicap debut off a mark of 84, and could be lurking off a mark of 82. I'm sure that we haven't seen the best of this one yet by any means. DORA DE JANEIRO is in the Tracker after showing a few glimmers of form, it won a 3 mile Handicap Hurdle off 98 at Musselburgh in March 2021, a not dissimilar Track, its had a couple of quiet runs so no fitness excuses and a mark of 85 really does look to be one it can do something off if ability remains.
