Tuesday Racing Tips: Senator can dictate at Market Rasen

There are a trio of meetings across the UK on Tuesday, with afternoon jumps racing at Market Rasen and Newbury setting the tone, before the evening all-weather racing clicks in at Wolverhampton.

At Market Rasen they have seven races from 13:30 through until 16:47, with conditions expected to be 'soft-good to soft in places' on the hurdles track and 'soft-heavy in places' on the chase track. Below are my three leading fancies on the card at the Lincolnshire venue.

Horse Racing odds

13:30 - Senator @ 5/6

The opening Join Racing TV Now Juvenile Maiden Hurdle can go the way of SENATOR for Jamie Snowden and Gavin Sheehan.

The Doctor Dino gelding has shown enough ability in two starts for this yard to see him landing a race such as this.

He's run well in both starts on the Flat in France, and was third at Kempton (2m, good) last month on his UK bow, in a race won by Dan Skelton's Precious Man - a rival with graded ambitions ahead in the coming days back at the Sunbury layout.

Senator, meanwhile, went a place better at Chepstow (2m, soft) when showing he will handle ease in the ground and finding only Nicky Henderson's Thewoodcorner too strong.

The Seven Barrows handler sends Macshadow Des Crai to oppose now and he's respected but the improving Senator may have the measure of Nico de Boinville's partner.

14:30 - Alltalknoaction @ 9/4

Tim Easterby's ALLTALKNOACTION defied his name with an improved showing over this course and distance on Boxing Day as he finished second-best behind Orange Diamond.

That was his third start over fences and he sported a new pair of cheekpieces (retained now) that precipitated his best effort to date.

He really knuckled down from three out and the front two pulled a long way clear of everything else, with just a length splitting them passing the post.

On the basis of that gallant defeat, he looks sure to open his account soon and he's got a good shot here, despite last-time-out course winner Florita and C&D runner-up Worth The Walk presenting as viable opponents.

15:02 Market Rasen – Madame Luna @ 11/4

Plenty of in-form horses line up in the Visit racingtv.com Mares' Handicap Hurdle, with four last time out scorers and two bridesmaids in the mix, but perhaps Harry Derham's MADAME LUNA is the one that is ahead of the assessor.

The Sea The Moon mare is a perfect 3-3 so far, with those three wins coming spread across 12 months.

Her latest success was at Doncaster (2m3½f, soft) in November and she did that well with the third, Scavengers Reign, scoring at Wetherby on Boxing Day from Rosie Baloo – who runs here for Tim Easterby having obliged since at Sedgefield.

On that evidence, an opening mark of 110, 1lb more than Rosie Baloo, looks very workable for Paul O'Brien's partner and the extra furlong here should suit well as she was strong through the line at Doncaster over shorter.
