Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Walk In The Valley gets the vote at Market Rasen, where a fitness edge and a progressive profile make him the one to side with over the 19f trip on good to soft. He is rated level with Gambie Tiep on 89, and only 5 lb behind the top-rated Walkinthewoods on 94, a gap his sharper condition and upward trajectory should help close. Walkinthewoods is the chief danger on raw ability, while Gambie Tiep is equally capable on figures and McGrath From Clune, on 75, cannot be entirely dismissed. Walk In The Valley is the confident selection.

Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith 0/2
Walk In The Valley bounces back from a pair of poor runs with a second two starts back and a fourth last time out, and he returns fresh after 17 days, having run over today's trip and going. Winless in his last four, he carries 168 lb, but his profile gets the nod.

Adam Wedge
Mrs C. Williams 0/27
Walkinthewoods has a fair profile for a top-rated runner, having run over today's trip and going before and posted a second five starts back, with our rating of 94 putting him first of five. The main risk is a patchy record of a refusal last time, a fall before that, and 202 days off, with the yard 0/27 lately.

Sean Bowen
Olly Murphy 7/30
Gambie Tiep has run over today's trip and going before, and he arrives with a trainer in cracking form (8 from 31 in the last 14 days), a third two starts back and our second-highest rating of five. The big risk is an 833-day absence, with a pulled up last time out.

Anthony Day 1/1
Noble Recall arrives in good heart, a winner last time out and a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip, but our figures rank him last of five at 72 against an official mark of 81, and he carries 157 lb.

Conor O'Farrell
Tom Gretton 1/2
McGrath From Clune showed ability when second four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so a repeat of that effort would make him a threat off 155 lb. The risk is clear: he was pulled up last time out and returns after 131 days off.
