Horse Racing Tips: Timeform's three best bets at Market Rasen on Sunday

Homme Public - 13:00 Market Rasen

Homme Public was a fairly useful hurdler in France prior to joining Paul Nicholls's yard, finishing runner-up on both his starts, and he ran to a similar level on his British debut at Catterick earlier this month, again finding just one too good. He sets the clear standard in this field and should have little trouble opening his account.

No. 3

Homme Public (Fr)

SBK11/8

EXC2.16

• Trainer: Oliver Greenall
• Jockey: Henry Brooke
• Age: 4
• Weight: 10st 12lbs
• OR: -

Gran Luna - 14:40 Market Rasen

Gran Luna looked potentially useful in making a winning debut in a Newbury bumper this time last year and, eight months on, she overcame inexperience to follow up first time over hurdles at the same venue. She didn't produce the hugely impressive performance that her short odds suggested she might, but she's got bags of potential and is likely to leave that form well behind in due course, remaining one to follow.

No. 2

Gran Luna (Fr)

SBK5/2

EXC3.9

• Trainer: Nicky Henderson
• Jockey: James Bowen
• Age: 5
• Weight: 11st 5lbs
• OR: -

Mick Maestro - 15:15 Market Rasen

Mick Maestro has been much improved since switching to Nick Kent's yard this term, winning two of his four races for his new yard, including when running out a wide-margin victor at Catterick last time, turning a tight-looking handicap into a completely one-sided affair. A 12 lb rise looks perfectly fair for that performance, particularly when considering the good timefigure posted, making Mick Maestro a confident selection to go in again.

No. 1

Mick Maestro (Fr)

SBK7/2

EXC6.4

• Trainer: Nick Kent
• Jockey: Charlie Todd
• Age: 8
• Weight: 11st 8lbs
• OR: 135
