Angus McNae's top tips for Sunday: Wood "must go close" at Market Rasen

I can hardly describe the 2020 Cheltenham Festival as being a personal triumph.

Backing Barry Geraghty to be the leading jockey at the meeting at 4-1 perhaps sums up my luck. Beaten on count back by Paul Townend after his tremendous final day was a low blow.

Nonetheless, if you had been following the tipsters on racingtv.com you will have done well and hopefully I can continue their good work with some winners today.

I have four selections for you.

What a week it has been for Gordon Elliott who looks to continue the good work here with this progressive mare.

She was a comfortable winner at Leopardstown last time out and this step up in Grade should be within her scope.

She steps up in trip here too and another couple of furlongs promises to bring about more improvement in her.

The ageless and consistently superb Davy Russell takes the ride and at 5-2, this mare is worth supporting.

This horse trading at around even money will be hard to beat. Olly Murphy endured some ill luck at Cheltenham but can record a winner here.

Dundrum Wood, who has undergone a wind operation, is quite a useful hurdler and this is a good opportunity for him to supplement a win here two starts ago.

He started life in handicaps off a mark of 120 and off that mark finished second on his handicap debut at Fakenham.

That, on the face of it, was slightly disappointing , but he looked raw that day and in terms of time figures, he seemed to show improved form. In a weak race here off the same mark he must go close.

This is an interesting horse starting out in handicaps. He has shown some promise thus far in his career in novice hurdles and would have finished closer to the principles at Doncaster last time out had he not stuck to the inside, which is palpably the slowest and wrong place to be in the home straight at Doncaster.

His opening mark of 96 is very fair and it would seem that he has been brought along steadily with handicaps in mind.

Trainer Jenny Candlish has an 11 per cent strike-rate here and this horse is worth supporting at 5-1.

Another winner for Gordon Elliott here in the shape of this gelding. He is a consistent performer at this level and has combined racing over fences and hurdles successfully.

He was a close-up third in a competitive handicap last time out – which signalled he is in good form - and will be just as competitive here.

The tough and consistent Misty Adage is a clear danger, but it’s hard to get away from this Elliott-trained horse.
