Verdict
Despite proving no match for the easy winner, Le Bacardy still finished well ahead of Nearest The Pin and Sportsreport when second on his first start for new connections at Market Rasen. But he may find the concession of 6lb to QUADRILLER beyond him as Philip Hobbs' nine-year-old beat Sportsreport here on his reappearance, despite looking in need of the run. Theatre Mill is preferred to Itsuptoyou and Trapper Peak of the others.
