Market Rasen - Thursday 5th December 2024

Thursday looks incredibly challenging. Wincanton hosts a trappy card and Leicester's fixture is going to be run on very heavy ground. Market Rasen is probably putting on just about the lowest grade racing of the 3 National Hunt courses but probably the most interesting from a punting view.

Felton Bellevue 3/1

Kelce will probably go off favourite for this. He's finished 2nd on both chase starts since joining Neil Mulholland but it was disappointing he couldn't kick on to win last time out and now finds himself 4 pounds higher. Cokytho will have a good chance but is now 6 pounds higher than when defeating only 3 other finishers last time out. So from a handicapping view, perhaps the best option is Felton Bellevue as he now finds himself back on his last winning mark (94) after two runs this season under his belt. His form from 2 career runs at this course reads 1st, 2nd and he will be more at home on this softer ground (ran on 'good' last time, has a decent record on soft/heavy). His seasonal debut at Worcester in October was a cracking effort and he is now a pound lower. He finished 4th of 14 that day but it was a hot race with the winner, Law of Supply, following up at Ascot since as well as the 3rd and 5th that day coming out and winning on their next runs, even the 7th has won since.
