Market Rasen Superboost
We have an excellent renewal of Market Rasen's highlight of the season at 15:15 today, the Summer Plate in which Daryl Carter's NAP Boombawn is a very well-backed 15/4 favourite.
However, the generous traders at Betfair has super-boosted Boombawn's price to finish in the top six from 4/91.44 to 1/12.00. If you fancy the horse to finish among the top six then simply click on the price below to go directly to the pre-loaded betslip.

He's enjoying a fine season and Dancing In Paris can go well off bottom weight in this.
Ian Williams' charge recorded a career-best performance to beat the unexposed Tactician by a head at Ascot last time, seeming to idle in front and finding extra when challenged.
He's up 4 lb on Saturday but that still looks a workable mark - he's top on Timeform ratings - and he is likely to sit handy in what is forecast to be a weakly-run race.

As ever the Summer Plate looks a competitive race, but Boombawn is a horse with a lot going for him.
First up he represents Dan and Harry Skelton and he's taken well to fences this summer after winning a competitive handicap hurdle at Kempton in March.
The seven-year-old has been kept fresh for a summer campaign and having won on chasing debut at Worcester, has hit the frame in handicaps at Cartmel and Worcester. The set-up of Saturday's race looks sure to suit him better and this has likely been his target for some time.

Lir Speciale has shaped as if needing a step up to seven furlongs in three starts over sprint trips this season and Stuart Williams' charge gets that opportunity on Saturday.
He does so from a sliding handicap mark and is now 5 lb lower than at the start of the season and is 3 lb below his last winning mark.
The five-year-old was again doing his best work at the finish when sixth behind Wiltshire at Newcastle last time and, down two grades and up a furlong, he can produce an improved performance.
