Ryan's Rocket set to fly home

FERGAL O'BRIEN has his string in excellent form at present and can add to his tally with Ryan's Rocket in the Breed Buy And Race In Ireland Handicap Chase at Market Rasen.

‘The seven-year-old has already proved another good purchase for the Noel Fehily Racing Syndicate, with the point-to-point graduate having won twice over hurdles and once over fences so far.

Following his successful chase debut at Chepstow in November, Ryan’s Rocket was narrowly denied by Here Comes Georgie at Ascot pre-Christmas and he was last seen finishing sixth behind subsequent Cheltenham hero Jagwar on Festival Trials Day at Prestbury Park in late January.

‘The son of Jet Away travelled well for a long way that day and a slight drop back in distance on a less demanding track looks to be in his favour.

Mistress Emma is expected to give weight and a beating to her rivals in the Eileen Brough Memorial Mares’ Handicap Hurdle.
