It doesn’t look like there are any 5-7f flat handicaps with trends/stats etc etc. So, we shall go jumping at Market Rasen – which is no bad thing 🙂Â
First up is the Summer Plate, followed by the Summer Hurdle…

Hi Josh,
Many thanks for these as usual. I am determined to get the Plate right this year since getting it wrong cost me the best part of £300k last year. BTW there are no Saturday sprints with trends but there is the Scottish Steward’s Cup tomorrow at Hamilton which is a C2 6f sprint with trends on HRB.
Regards,
Nick
HI Nick,
Cheers, yep had yet to glance at tomorrow’s cards. Will have a look at trends/race and see if anything worthwhile ro have a go at. Albeit given my general flat form I will tread carefully!
Market Rasen 2.15 Hassle
Initially leaning towards Golden Doyen and Germany Calling in the Plate.
yep, I definitely getting to a place to have a go at Germany calling on my first look through. I fear team Nicholls, possibly Schofield’s but need to go through race properly yet
I know you don’t tip in those races (although its 2m6f so not too far off 3m) but if you like Germany Calling than I am sure you will find the price of Such a Legend back down in Grade interesting in the 4:30. I certainly have.
Paul Nicholls is having a mare of a time at Market Rasen lately. 0/15 since 2010 before today’s racing.
