Charlie McCann's Tips - Thursday, 12 November
12:41pm Market Rasen - Eastern Rock
You often see rail movements adding up to 100 yards to the distance of races, but in five of the seven races at Market Rasen this afternoon the racecourse have guesstimated that the winner will race over an additional 342 yards – other two races +252 yards - than the advertised distance. That is an additional furlong and a half!
Supreme Force won three of his last four points in his native Ireland and was sold for £40,000 earlier in the year. Brian Hughes takes the ride for Charlie Longsdon on debut, and a market move would be worth noting, although his best will not be seen until he jumps a fence.
EASTERN ROCK won his second point in Ireland – sold for £70,000 last November – and finished runner-up in an Exeter Bumper back in March before finishing fourth at Fontwell over 2m3f+ on soft ground last month.
The selection – another who will jump a fence in time – is entitled to come on for last month’s hurdles debut but will have to. He jumped and travelled well at Fontwell, but didn’t look the strongest of stayers, but the hope is that this slightly quicker ground – a mix of good to soft and good on Wednesday morning – allied to having that run under his belt, will enable him to see out his race better than on his reappearance.
The four-year-old Ivor Bear has finished runner-up in his last three starts - and a beaten favourite – including here on hurdles debut over the minimum trip and he will likely head the market again for team Twiston-Davies. He is bred to improve for the additional half mile, but preference is for the Emma Lavelle-trained five-year-old, although the extra yardage is a negative.
Recommendation: Eastern Rock - 3/1 with bet365
The Donald McCain stable have saddled twenty-seven runners since their last winner, and I was going to take a chance with Double Indemnity, but he has stamina to prove. This point winner jumped beautifully at Worcester down the slowest part of the track, and a market move would be significant.

1:40pm Hereford - Mr Jukebox (Nap)
Lydeard Girl makes her seasonal reappearance but improved when handicapping stepped up in trip over hurdles for Kayley Woollacott, including – significantly – a second to the ill-fated subsequent winner Square Du Roule over 3m from a 3lbs lower mark at Wincanton back in the spring.
The yard had a winner last month, but their recent runners have all disappointed, and the mare may just need the outing. That said, if the market speaks favourably, I will save given her stamina is guaranteed and a repeat of her Wincanton run will make her hard to beat.
I hope it’s a good day for the Greatrex stable, as preference is for the grey MR JUKEBOX (Nap), who also improved when stepped up in distance, having got a mark winning at Exeter (2m2f+) before finishing a good second beaten a neck over 2m4f at Perth behind a winner who is now rated 13lbs higher.
On a line through the winner, Mr Jukebox is well treated from just a 5lbs higher mark, and there is enough in his pedigree to suggest that this 2m6f trip will suit.
Recommendation: Mr Jukebox (Nap) - 9/4 with Ladbrokes
This is Charlie's Nap of the Day selection - see how it stacks up against Alan Kelly's pick too.
