A 10lb rise appeared to anchor Jimmy Rabbitte at Market Rasen after earlier wins at Taunton and Catterick. Jacbequick keeps finding one too good and stablemate Delface is just as interesting at the weights. Green Or Black travelled strongly into the race at Uttoxeter but was pulled up quickly in the home straight so has something to prove now. BILLY MY BOY has the most experienced jockey on board and has been back to his best in his last two starts so can reverse earlier Chepstow running with Delface. Bleu Et Noir doesn’t stand much racing but isn’t badly handicapped and is worth a market check.
