Today´s racing

Nicky Henderson and his stable jockey Barry Geraghty can do no wrong at the moment and had another 4 winners at Ascot yesterday. Today they have 3 runners at Market Rasen and it would come as no surprise to see all 3 triumphant. Siutr Poiunt cn strt the bll rolling when he cintsts the hndp hurdle t 15.30 CT; he had no chance in a much hotter race last time, but meets weaker opposition now, of which recent CD winner Quite the Man (Malcolm Jefferson/ Graham Lee) is the pick. The novice chase at 16.30 looks a straight match between Henderson´s Radium, brought down at Cheltenham last time, and Jefferson´s Cape Tribulation (Denis O´Regan), runner-up to the smart Wayward Prince last time. The Henderson team can complete the hat-trick with Sizing Ireland in the concluding bumper. Jefferson can also be on the scorecard with The Magic Bishop (James Halliday) in the handicap hurdle at 16.00; he has won his last 2 races and could still be ahead of the handicapper. Bedizen (Pam Sly/ Warr en Marston), has been off for 11 months, but still looks an interesting outsider here. His trainer is in good form and always does well at the at the East Anglia tracks.

German-bred Bocciani (Dianne Sayer/ JP O´Farrell) won his race at the 31st attempt when scoring at Catterick last week and can follow up under a penalty in the handicap hurdle at 16.45 at Sedgefield; Rawaaj (Donald McCain/ Jason Maguire), beaten a head last time, looks the main danger. Another German-bred with a chance here is Euro American (Rose Dobbin/ Keith Renwick) at 15.40, but here we prefer consistent Archies Wish (Micky Hammond/ Barry Keniry).

Easily the best jumps racing to comes from Ireland, where there are 3 Grade Two races at Naas. The 2 mile chase at 16.05 has cut up badly and looks at the mercy of Golden Silver (Willie Mullins/ Paul Townend), who defeated Big Zeb last time and only has to jump round to win here. Mullins could also take the novice hurdle half an hour later, where he saddles 3 runners. Townend rides Day of a Lifetime, but Dare to Doubt, with the trainer´s nephew Emmet in the saddle, looks dangerous, while Four Commanders (Mouse Morris/ Davy Russell) also has a chance. Roi de Mee (Gordon Elliott/ Russell) looks a good thing to win the novice chase at 17.10 after an impressive win from some of the same horses at Punchestown last time.

There is also flat racing on the all-weather at Kempton this afternoon, but the card is very poor. Big Bay (Jane Chapple-Hyam/ Neil Callan) is our each-way suggestion in the mile handicap at 16.55.
