Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Galway Reel is our selection at Market Rasen, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him preferable to the top-rated Alan Bresil, who is only five pounds better on our figures. At 97 he sits comfortably in the upper tier of an eight-runner field, and the extended 23f trip on good ground should suit a horse still on the upgrade. Alan Bresil is the chief danger on raw ability, with Daaris and Glenmuick also capable of playing a part if Galway Reel fails to build on his improvement. This is a competitive contest, but Galway Reel is the one to be with.

Olly Murphy 6/32
Galway Reel is our pick on profile: he won last time out, was second two starts back, and returns fresh after 21 days, with experience over today's trip and going. Carrying 168 lb is the one reservation, though our rating of 97 still ranks him second of eight.

Fit after just 12 days, Alan Bresil was a fourth last time out and a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him top of the eight, though he's yet to win in recent starts and 164 lb is a big burden.

Cuillin Ridge won two starts back and was second the run before, but he was only fifth last time out and returns after 133 days off. He has run on today's going, though carrying 163 lb off an official mark of 94 looks a stiff ask for a gelding ranked fifth of eight by our rating.

Daaris arrives fit after 16 days, having run over today's trip and going before, with a third two starts back and our rating of 94 ranking him third of eight. The risk is a winless recent run and a sixth last time out, with 159 lb to carry.

Mickey Bowen 3/25
Winless in her last six, Forest Spirit has been runner-up last time out and again two starts back, but she keeps finding one too good and our figures rank her only sixth of eight. Fitness is fine after 24 days off, and she has run over today's trip and going, yet 154 lb is a big ask.

David Bass
Charlie Longsdon 2/12
Glenmuick has been winless in his last five, but a second two starts back shows he can go close, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating of 90 ranks him fourth of eight. The risk is a 150-day absence, plus a last-time-out eighth and a weight of 153 lb.

Mike Sowersby 1/8
Simiyann is yet to win in his last four starts, with an eighth two starts back and a pair of pulled-up efforts before that, so he's lightly raced on this evidence and may have more to offer. He returns quickly after 12 days off, carrying 150 lb off an official mark of 81.

Winless in his last five and absent for 120 days, Moro Rock is hard to fancy, with a fifth last time out and a third two starts back his best recent efforts. He has run over today's trip and going before, but 149 lb is a big ask.
