14:55 (Market Rasen) Roaring Legend

Olly Murphy’s Roaring Legend has been making a good go of his switch to the National Hunt code and can get off the mark in the Follow Us On X @Betrhino Juvenile Maiden Hurdle.

The four-year-old was formerly trained on the Flat by James Ferguson, winning twice over a mile and a half, and joined Murphy ahead of the current season.

His debut over hurdles came in a Kempton juvenile in January, where he finished second before being stepped up to Listed level in the Scottish Triumph Hurdle.

There he was second again and on the merit of that run he looks poised to claim a first hurdling success when meeting maiden company in Lincolnshire.

 

15:25 (Market Rasen) Ooh Betty

Ooh Betty was an impressive eight and a half length winner of a Hereford mares handicap hurdle prior to finishing first past the post in a mares novices hurdle at the Lingfield last month.

Can make amends after the stewards demoted the six-year-old to second.

Party Vibes scored against easier at Wincanton on Boxing Day. Nice profile to date and could go close.

Jaminska went well two starts back when third tackling a Taunton 2m Listed mares novices hurdle. Rates highly.

Giver The Hollie placed third contesting an Exeter maiden hurdle and holds claims.

 

15:55 (Market Rasen) Lavida Adiva

Ruth Jefferson’s Lavida Adiva has done little wrong all season and can bring home more prize-money in the Read Henry Brooke On Blog.Rhino.Bet EBF Mares’ “National Hunt” Novices’ Hurdle.

The five-year-old has run four times over hurdles this term, placing each time bar a 25-length success at Catterick in late December.

That victory also happened to be her sole start over two miles, a trip she returns to when holding plenty of appeal here.

 

16:30 (Market Rasen) Cokytho

Cokytho showed plenty of ability here last month when second in this handicap chase grade over 2m1f. Rates a leading player set to go one place better.

The main threat comes from Onenightintown, who placed third tackling this trip at Catterick before winning attempting the same venue and journey at this level.

Living's Boy An Co went well at Sedgefield among this company finishing third over the distance.

Casa Tall is worth a second look for the placings.
