In-Play Hints: Balbriggan to benefit from strong pace?

Timeform assess how two races at Market Rasen will be run

Timeform examine a pair of races at Market Rasen and try to work out the pace angles...

Race: 15:00 Market Rasen- 2m 5f Handicap Hurdle

Pace Forecast: Weakly Contested.

Specific Pace Hint: Combustible Kate is the only confirmed pace-forcer. Racey Lacey has been most forwardly placed in recent starts of those in the front half of the betting forecast: Vintage Times has been furthest from the pace in recent starts of the better-fancied horses.

Individual Price Hint: Racey Lacey traded at 10% or less of BSP twice, 25% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP on 4 of its last 5 starts: Ballymoat traded at 10% or less of BSP and 25% or less of BSP 3 times on 4 of its last 5 starts.

Race: 15:30 Market Rasen- 2 3/4m 110yds Handicap Chase

Pace Forecast: Strongly contested.

Specific Pace Hint: There is a chance of a pace burnout early, and The Black Baron is one who could suffer on recent run style: A proliferation of possible pace-forcers could set things up for those coming from further back: Balbriggan is one who may benefit.

Individual Price Hint Balinroab traded at 10% or less of BSP and 25% or less of BSP 3 times on 4 of its last 5 starts: Patsy Finnegan traded at 25% or less of BSP and 50% or less of BSP twice on 3 of its last 5 starts.
