2.05pm Market Rasen Tips & Betting Preview 21/07/2018

Hassle has gained his last two wins here, but he is now nine pounds above his last winning mark and is coming up against a potentially smart rival today in FAIR MOUNTAIN. This six-year-old appears to be improving with each of his hurdles starts to date and represents the Skelton’s, who won this race with Red Tornado in 2016 so knows what is required to land this contest. This is a workable opening handicap mark for him, and he is preferred to Artful Artist, who often flattered to deceive when trained by Tony Martin but showed that the ability remained when bolting up in a race at Southwell last month.
