26/12/22 2:50 Market Rasen - The Lincolnshire National System

 

1st Calipso Collonges 9/1 - 45

2nd Light Flicker 10/1 - 40

2nd Innisfree Lad 40/1 - 40

2nd Who's In The Box 50/1 - 40

Unlike the King George, this race is VERY tight. Small Present & Representing Bob both scored 35, so there really isnt much in it. Calipso Collonges just pipped it. 

Calipso Collonges has never won over this far but he has run well at a distance before. He rarely runs these days but run a cracking race on season debut, and to put it in perspective the average rating of that race was 137, and here its 120. So this is much easier, yet he managed a gallant 3rd to Ramses De Teillee. That form alone should see him go well here. The ground should be perfect. And the track is ideal. 

Light Flicker run well over a lot further last time out and steps back in distance, he came 2nd that day and the 4th placed horse has since won over this exact distance next time out. Form at the track is 2, 1. But i do think he would prefer it more undualting, however the ground is perfect. 

Who's In The Box was 5ht in this last year and is now 9lb lower. The Application of a visor could be very interesting. He then won it in 2020 and is 5lb lower than that. I think he could really surprise a few here if that visor works. He stays the ground is ok, although might prefer rain and he likes the track. 50/1 is tempting ew

Innisfree Lad stays, the ground is fine, the track should suit.  Some ticks in the boxes, but the negative is he has 2nd biggest weight to carry and i dont like a big weight to be carried over these distances. 

I will stick with Calipso Collonges here but i will put a small ew on Who's In The Box too

My Selection: Calipso Collonges 9/1 (small ew on Who's In The Box 50/1)
