Inspection at Market Rasen

there is to be an inspection later at Market Rasen because of the expected gales. Should racing go ahead, we like two horses with a German background - Aalim (John Ferguson/ Jack Quinlan), a grandson of the great Anna Paola, in the opening 3yo hurdle at 13.20 CET and Moon Melody (Mike Sowersby/ Sammy Drake), also from an excellent family, in the staying handicap chase at 14.50. Tony McCoy is here today and has several good chances, the best of which is undoubtedly Nicky Henderson´s Captain Cutter at 13.50; this promising sort should be able to defy a penalty in this novice hurdle as he looks a cut above today´s opposition.
