Horse racing predictions: Market Rasen 2.40 Neil Mulholland's Planned Paradise is the forecast market leader for this 3m handicap chase and, on his best form, that is merited. He was a winner in June at Worcester (2m 4f, good) and had run well in four chase starts prior to a slightly disappointing effort last month over 3m 2f at Newton Abbot. He was no match for the front two in that contest and, while he could bounce back now, he's got a challenge on here to give a hefty chunk of weight to HARRY DU BERLAIS from Nick Kent's stable. The Shirocco gelding was a point-to-point winner in Ireland in May 2021 in one start for Colin Bowe and after three hurdles runs for Kent, was much improved on his chasing bow in April at Bangor (2m 4½f, good). He bumped into a game winner from Donald McCain's yard who has won again since. After a summer recess, Harry Du Berlais looks the sort to improve in this sphere and a mark of 98 should be within his reach before long, especially with this increased distance in his favour.
