Market Rasen Race 2 - Book Boxing Day At Market Rasen Juvenile Hurdle (Gbb Race)
DON DANDY (1) prevailed by 5L at Compiegne despite conceding 2kg. His earlier 1.25L rival Nacre du Seuil later finished fourth in a Listed hurdle at Auteuil. The Olly Murphy French recruit must concede 3kg here and holds leading claims. MINELLA BUOY (4) placed in all four hurdle starts. Was leading before fading to third by 10.25L at Listowel when last seen. Experience remains an asset. SEE BLUE (6) missed by a head at Haydock while giving the winner 3.5kg. Noted purchase since then and is making his jumping debut for Max Comley. Though stamina untested is in the mix. ELM CREEK (3) was 7.5L third tackling heavy ground at Navan for Donnacha O'Brien and starts his hurdling career with Rebecca Menzies. Open to progress.

Resumes off a 35 day letup. Last outing finished third of 11 runners at Listowel on September 20 over 3218m, 10 len behind Danny Power with 69kg at $2.90. The start before that; finished tenth of 16 runners at Roscommon on August 31 over 2414m, 16 len behind Priorstown carrying 58kg at $5. Continues to make headway. Can bounce back to winning form.

Was well supported at debut, finished fourth in a small field at Fontwell Park on September 22 over 3500m, 101 len behind Royal Sapphire carrying 71kg at $3.50. Can improve on that effort. Can only be improved on that run and worth keeping safe here.
