Market Rasen is gearing up for a quality day of jumps racing on Thursday
Market Rasen is gearing up for a quality day of jumps racing on Thursday

There will be some quality midweek jumps racing taking place on both sides of the Irish Sea on Thursday.

Market Rasen stages a six-race card from 12.30pm until 3.15pm and their feature race is the Listed Bud Booth Mares' Chase over three miles. 

Conditions are set to be 'Good-good to soft in places' at the Lincolnshire layout and we have selected five horses to follow on their card.

12.30pm - Racing TV Maiden Hurdle (2m½f)

A good few of these are newcomers to the hurdling ranks but none is likely to draw more attention than RAYMOND TUSK for trainer Alan King. 

He was rated a whopping 113 at his best on the Flat for Richard Hannon and has been competitive in good handicaps this summer from three-figure marks. 

If he takes to this game, he should be hard to stop.

LiveScore selection: Raymond Tusk 

1.40pm - Bud Booth Mares' Chase (Fillies' & Mares' Listed, 3m)

Collateral form from last term suggests Chilli Filli will hold the likes of Momella and Midnight Referendum in seeking to retain this crown. 

Henry Daly's charge won by a length from Casablanca Mix last year. Nicky Henderson's runner is 8lb better off but must find her best form from somewhere to take advantage.

The one that could be lurking as an improver is WIN MY WINGS for Christian Williams. 

She impressed over fences at Cheltenham in April and her hurdles success in France the following month has been well advertised. 

She goes well fresh and has scope for further improvement on her fourth chase start.

LiveScore selection: Win My Wings

2.10pm - Racing TV Novices' Handicap Chase (3m)

Team Skelton remains in good form of recent weeks and there has to be a decent chance that STARSKY can go one better than last month's chasing introduction at Worcester (2m7f, good). 

He was only just collared on the line in a head-bobbing finish that afternoon and this represents a slight drop in class. 

If he improves for that initial experience over fences, on what is only his fourth start for this trainer, he is going to be hard to halt.

LiveScore selection: Starsky

2.40pm - Racing TV Handicap Chase (2m5½f)

There might be nine runners, but this race is not as deep as the numbers portray. 

Fresh New Dawn was second at Perth on return from a break in September and has claims again but CATLIN might do well for trainer Nick Kent on seasonal bow. 

The mare was placed on her first three chase starts last season before winning nicely at Newcastle (2m7½f, good to soft) in March off a mark of 80. 

She did not back that up at Bangor on final start but there is time for her to do better.

LiveScore selection: Catlin

3.15pm - Molson Coors Handicap Hurdle (2m4½f)

Trainer Olly Murphy will be hoping Macho Mover can deliver at Market Rasen on Thursday

The pair that appear most likely in the finale are Near Kettering and MACHO MOVER, despite last year's winner Envol De La Cour returning for another crack. 

Olly Murphy has quickly got Macho Mover on an upward curve after arriving from Ireland. 

And after just three runs for this in-form trainer — including a win at Newton Abbot (2m2½f, good) and second at Stratford (2m6f, good to soft) in two hurdles starts — it is likely there is another major challenge in him.

LiveScore selection: Macho Mover
