14:00 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 1st (7) (2/5 +20%) Stressfree	0.4 2/5(+20%)	(7) Stressfree 2/5, Useful on the Flat and should improve on encouraging hurdles debut third at Catterick (2m, good to soft) on New Year's Day. Hard to beat. Useful 3-time Flat winner who was 3rd on hurdle debut; this looks a very good opportunity.
3 2nd (3) (25/1 +62%) Gemini Man	25 25/1(+62%)	(3) Gemini Man 25/1, Modest maiden on the Flat. Pulled up on his hurdle debut in Ireland last March (for previous yard). Very modest maiden on the Flat and pulled up last March on sole hurdle start.
5 3rd (5) (12/1 -71%) Natzor	12 12/1(-71%)	(5) Natzor 12/1, Fairly useful handicapper at up to 1½m on the Flat for David O'Meara, successful twice on AW in 2024, including when last seen in October. Has had wind surgery ahead of hurdle debut for new yard. Should be up to making his presence felt if taking to the new discipline. Two-time Flat winner who could make a hurdler; possible player on stable debut.
1 4th (1) (11/2 +45%) Chichester	5.5 11/2(+45%)	(1) Chichester 11/2, Smart performer at his best on Flat but below that level in 2024. Never involved when seventh of 14 on his belated Kelso hurdle debut just after Christmas but should be capable of better at some point. Soundly beaten on hurdle debut but smart on the Flat in his prime; interesting.
8 5th (8) (5/1 +9%) Supreme George	5 5/1(+9%)	(8) Supreme George 5/1, Irish point recruit who ran to a fair level when runner-up in a 2m Doncaster at the end of November. Not in anything like the same form when only sixth at Catterick since but he's probably still the chief threat to Stressfree. Disappointing at 2m3f last time but runner-up over 2m previously; might not be far away.
9 6th (9) (250/1 -213%) Cosmic Jet	250 250/1(-213%)	(9) Cosmic Jet 250/1, Well held in 2 bumpers for John O'Donoghue. Can only watch now hurdling for new trainer. Down the field in both bumpers; a transformation is needed on his hurdle and stable debut.
4 7th (4) (300/1 -100%) King Gold Boy	300 300/1(-100%)	(4) King Gold Boy 300/1, Last of 7 in 2 bumpers in November. Likely outsider now hurdling. Big odds and failed to beat a rival in his two bumpers.
2 \|U\| (2) (20/1 -43%) Freedom Day	20 20/1(-43%)	(2) Freedom Day 20/1, Fair Flat winner. Makes hurdle debut for Paul Robson having left Mark Walford since a below-par run on AW in September. Fair performer on the Flat and it's possible he'll make a hurdler; not ruled out.
6 \|PU\| (6) (40/1 +39%) Split Stone	40 40/1(+39%)	(6) Split Stone 40/1, Well held in a bumper and 2 hurdles. Kelso last time was a step in the right direction but he needs another big one today.

14:00 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

STRESSFREE was a beaten favourite when third on his hurdling debut last month but the useful Flat performer showed enough to suggest that he can be successful in a race of this nature. Chichester has a similar profile to the selection and should not be underestimated, while Natzor won over 1m2f on the level in October and any market support for him would have to be noted.

This looks a good opportunity for STRESSFREE to build on a promising first effort over hurdles at Catterick on New Year's Day. Supreme George might be the one to follow him home unless the betting speaks in the favour of hurdle newcomer Natzor, a former stablemate of the selection.

Useful Flat performer STRESSFREE was an encouraging third at Catterick on his hurdle debut and can get off the mark in this code.

14:30 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
5 (5) (2/1 +11%) Jasmine D'airy	2 2/1(+11%)	(5) Jasmine D'airy 2/1, £120,000 purchase on the back of success in a Tipperary bumper last May. Has shown some promise in a pair of mares' novice hurdles, coming in fifth of 10 at Warwick (2m3f) last month. Holds solid form claims. Yet to transfer bumper promise to hurdles but she's still a major player today.
7 (7) (10/3 -11%) Vanilla Dancer	3.333333 10/3(-11%)	(7) Vanilla Dancer 10/3, Still to add to his bumper success but this reliable sort posted a very good clear second of 9 in novice hurdle at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 21 days ago. Can go well again. 0-8 over hurdles but runner-up the last twice and might not be far away.
4 (4) (4/1 +50%) Hay Meadow	4 4/1(+50%)	(4) Hay Meadow 4/1, Point winner who also landed a Perth bumper in September. Made a promising start hurdling when a staying-on fourth of 6 at Hexham (2m) and has more to offer stepped up in trip with tongue tie added. Player. Point/bumper winner; fair fourth on hurdle debut and this step up in trip looks a plus.
8 (8) (6/1 +20%) Irisante	6 6/1(+20%)	(8) Irisante 6/1, Fairly useful form over hurdles for Hugo Merienne in France but she hasn't got near that level on these shores despite being placed at Doncaster and Leicester on her last two starts. More is required if she's to gain a breakthrough victory. French form hasn't been reproduced in Britain but time could be right for this longer trip.
6 (6) (9/1 +10%) Lizzie Luna	9 9/1(+10%)	(6) Lizzie Luna 9/1, Still a maiden but he comes here in good nick, fourth of 8 in novice hurdle at Ayr (16f, soft) 26 days ago. Goes up in trip now with hood back on and he must enter calculations. Has kept on over 2m at Ayr the last twice and this step up in trip is well worth exploring.
1 (1) (10/1 -186%) Dazzlelikethis	10 10/1(-186%)	(1) Dazzlelikethis 10/1, Made a promising start when second in Carlisle maiden hurdle but tongue tied when only seventh of 11 in novice at Uttoxeter (22.2f, heavy) 58 days ago. Since had a wind op and he's worth another chance for good yard. Second on hurdle debut at Carlisle and has had wind op since flopping at Uttoxeter; chance.
3 (3) (200/1 -203%) Ghidora	200 200/1(-203%)	(3) Ghidora 200/1, Fair form shown when third on his debut in a Perth bumper in August but he hasn't kicked on from it in a pair of novice hurdles this winter. Fair third on debut in bumper last August but has struggled on both hurdle starts.

14:30 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

VANILLA DANCER arrives here on the back of two seconds in recent months and this appears to be an ideal opportunity for the six-year-old to go one better. Irisante has also made the frame on her last couple of starts and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Jasmine D'airy edges out Lizzie Luna to be best of the rest.

This could go the way of Lucinda Russell's point winner HAY MEADOW who shaped well on her debut in this sphere when fourth at Hexham and could take a sizeable step forward now her stamina is unlocked. Vanilla Dancer is much more exposed but arrives at the top of her game and rates a big threat, while Jasmine d'Airy and Lizzie Luna also have the form to play a part.

Bumper winner JASMINE D'AIRY was a fair fifth in a good mares' novice at Warwick last time and can post her first win over hurdles.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 10 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
3 (3) (3/1 +25%) Looking Splendid	3 3/1(+25%)	(3) Looking Splendid 3/1, Has shown enough in handicap runs over this sort of distance to suggest he capable of winning a race of this nature, forgiven latest effort when chasing a brisk pace over an inadequate trip (sixth of 12, Catterick, 15.7f) and he's one to be interested in stepping back up in distance. 11-race maiden but runner-up over C&D in November and has strong claims on that form.
4 (4) (10/3 +70%) Coral Blue	3.333333 10/3(+70%)	(4) Coral Blue 10/3, Far from disgraced when fourth of 10 in a stronger event over C&D two weeks ago (was still well in contention turning for home) and is now 2 lb below his last winning mark stepping back down in grade. Interesting contender. Fair fourth in higher grade over C&D last time and he's one to consider down another 2lb.
5 (5) (4/1 +0%) Not In Kansas	4 4/1(+0%)	(5) Not In Kansas 4/1, C&D winner shaped as if back in form following wind surgery when respectable sixth of 13 in a handicap hurdle at this venue 2 weeks ago, deserving of extra credit having been hampered by a faller in the earlier part of the race. Back in trip now and chances would be helped if they go a good gallop. Fair 6th over 3m here recently; this C&D winner could be in the mix now back down in trip.
7 (7) (5/1 +29%) Beat The Retreat	5 5/1(+29%)	(7) Beat The Retreat 5/1, Respectable third over C&D (3 lengths behind second placed Looking Splendid) in November but failed to back that up on next start. Forgiven latest effort at this venue (stamina stretched by 3m) and while he's capable of bouncing back in first-time cheekpieces, others are more consistent. Below best the last twice but fair third over C&D before those; not ruled out.
8 (8) (15/2 +53%) Billable Grant	7.5 15/2(+53%)	(8) Billable Grant 15/2, Sole success came in an Irish maiden hurdle back in March 2022. Showed the benefit of his recent stable debut, fourth of 16 in a handicap hurdle at Newcastle (20.3f, good to soft) in December but regressed on next start at Ayr (seventh of 12) and has a bit to prove now. Perhaps soft ground didn't suit last time; encouraging fourth previously; not discounted.
6 (6) (8/1 +20%) Agilulf	8 8/1(+20%)	(6) Agilulf 8/1, Still a maiden after 17 starts and while he'd have a chance based on his creditable fourth over C&D in November, he posted a disappointing effort on his only completion since and now needs to bounce back in first-time hood and tongue tie combination. Longstanding maiden but the return to Musselburgh and the tongue-tie could be positives.
2 (2) (25/1 -355%) Good Company	25 25/1(-355%)	(2) Good Company 25/1, Hinted at ability prior to falling 2 out at Bangor on hurdling debut in November and shaped as if one for handicaps/longer trips when staying on past beaten horses at Wetherby (16f) 51 days ago. Could be a different proposition now facing a greater stamina test on handicap debut. Not obviously well treated off his opening mark but the step up in trip could suit.
1 (1) (40/1 -233%) Gone With The Tide	40 40/1(-233%)	(1) Gone With The Tide 40/1, Irish point winner who has regressed from hurdling bow posting two poor efforts at Newcastle (latest when pulled-up 19 days ago). Hooded and needs to find improvement for switch to handicaps. Two lesser runs have followed since fair Ayr 5th, but he could bounce back on h'cap debut.
9 (9) (40/1 -60%) Luminaries	40 40/1(-60%)	(9) Luminaries 40/1, Little impact in various events over hurdles and failed to build on promise of stable debut at Kelso in October when down the field (in first time tongue strap) at the same venue the following month. Tongue-tie retained and difficult to fancy on most recent evidence. 11-race maiden who has shown very little worthwhile form and is hard to fancy.
10 (10) (66/1 -32%) Le Fou's Keep	66 66/1(-32%)	(10) Le Fou's Keep 66/1, Long-standing maiden who has regressed even further this season, cheekpieces having no impact when ninth of 10 in handicap hurdle (40/1) at Sedgefield (19.8f, soft) 11 days ago. Headgear removed and tongue-strap back on remains easy to oppose. Well beaten on last three runs and now 0-21; she'd be a surprise winner.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

In a moderate event a chance can be taken with LOOKING SPLENDID, who was second off this mark over C&D in November and bits of promise can be taken from his two subsequent efforts. Good Company may improve now switched to handicap company and should not be underestimated as a result. Others to note are Coral Blue and Not In Kansas.

This certainly isn't the strongest race for the grade, and LOOKING SPLENDID has shown enough in handicaps over this sort of distance to suggest he is more than capable of winning this. Coral Blue performed with plenty of credit in a stronger race over C&D two weeks ago, so he is a danger, as is handicap-debutant Good Company who could be better than what he's shown in novice company.

The return to Musselburgh and reapplication of the tongue-tie may enable AGILULF to get off the mark in this weak race.

15:30 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
7 (7) (7/2 -40%) Bravethewaves	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(7) Bravethewaves 7/2, Maiden hurdler but off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Catterick last month under a confident ride and should have more to offer in this sphere. 20-1 win at Catterick last month on second chase start and a 6lb rise might not stop him.
6 (6) (4/1 -33%) Divas Doyen	4 4/1(-33%)	(6) Divas Doyen 4/1, Finally got off the mark at Carlisle in November before good second over this C&D next 2 starts. Needs to shrug off a rare below-par effort at Carlisle 2 weeks ago but she is the type to do so. In good form here prior to Carlisle, when stretched by that stiff 2m5f on soft ground.
5 (5) (4/1 +33%) Minella Youngy	4 4/1(+33%)	(5) Minella Youngy 4/1, Mixed record over hurdles/fences for this yard this season and failed to justify support at Sedgefield 11 days ago. Mark continues to fall at least (now 12 lb below last winning mark). Has a regressive profile but his mark continues to fall and he might not be far away.
4 (4) (5/1 -43%) Henry Gray	5 5/1(-43%)	(4) Henry Gray 5/1, Very big gelding (point winner) who ran his best race to date when second of 6 in handicap chase at Catterick (19.2f) last winter. Probably needed the run on belated return at Uttoxeter 8 weeks ago and better expected back in this sphere. Encouraging signs over fences last winter and could improve for his comeback run.
3 (3) (7/1 +30%) Low Mileage	7 7/1(+30%)	(3) Low Mileage 7/1, Fairly useful maiden chaser in Ireland but offered little first 3 starts for current connections. Stopped the slide to some extent in this headgear at Catterick last time but not enough to make him of immediate interest. Fair third at Catterick latest but needs bigger run today if he's to break his duck.
2 (2) (9/1 +18%) Goodtimes Badtimes	9 9/1(+18%)	(2) Goodtimes Badtimes 9/1, Not straightforward and spurned a good opportunity at Sedgefield in the autumn. Poor effort back from 3 months off at Catterick since. Remains easy to oppose from a win perspective. Pulled up at Catterick last month but 2nd at Sedgefield previously and could bounce back.
1 (1) (16/1 +11%) Arctic Ambition	16 16/1(+11%)	(1) Arctic Ambition 16/1, Runner-up off 2 lb higher at Cartmel in the summer but pulled up last 2 starts 5 months apart, reported to have an irregular heartbeat on penultimate start. Not written off now back down in trip on his second start back from a break.
8 (8) (33/1 -32%) Onenightintown	33 33/1(-32%)	(8) Onenightintown 33/1, Unreliable sort who has yet to fire this term and easy to oppose. Change of headgear. Won off this mark at Catterick last February but unable to get competitive on last 5 runs.
9 (9) (33/1 0%) Ex S'elance	33 33/1(0%)	(9) Ex S'elance 33/1, Dual chase winner in spring 2023 but has been struggling for a while now, his jumping particularly an issue this season. 3 lb out of handicap. Well treated on 2023 form but this 11yo was unable to perform to the same level last year.

15:30 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

Bravethewaves got off the mark at the second attempt over fences at Catterick last month but the eight-year-old will need to improve again to defy a 6lb rise. With that in mind, HENRY GRAY might have a good opportunity to gain his first career victory. Donald McCain's gelding showed some promise over fences last season and is likely to improve from his hurdles run at Uttoxeter in December. Divas Doyen and Goodtimes Badtimes appear best of the remainder.

BRAVETHEWAVES proved none the worse for his spill on chasing debut when off the mark under a confident ride at Catterick last month and can defy a 6 lb rise. The low-mileage Henry Gray is of interest back over fences, while Divas Doyen is another to consider if her latest run can be forgiven.

The mare DIVAS DOYEN likes it here and earns the vote having not quite seen out Carlisle's stiff 2m5f on soft ground last time.

16:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
6 (6) (6/4 +20%) Star Vantage	1.5 6/4(+20%)	(6) Star Vantage 6/4, Remains a maiden after 18 runs but he hasn't been with Rebecca Menzies for that long and has shaped encouragingly since stepped up to 3m, pulling clear of the rest when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell 13 days ago. Big player if this doesn't come too quick. 0-18 but has run really well the last twice and a breakthrough may be imminent.
3 (3) (4/1 +27%) Anamanda	4 4/1(+27%)	(3) Anamanda 4/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in France and some promise over hurdles, finding only one too good for second time in 3 starts at Ayr (21.4f) 4 weeks back. Not discounted operating from the same mark back up in trip. 0-8 over hurdles but runner-up on two of her last three starts and could be involved.
7 (7) (15/2 -15%) Take A Hike	7.5 15/2(-15%)	(7) Take A Hike 15/2, Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points. Steady improver over hurdles, best effort yet on first crack at this sort of trip when second in 10-runner Wetherby handicap 24 days ago. Feasible to think she could have more to offer as a stayer and respected. Runner-up when upped to 3m at Wetherby on second handicap start; one to consider.
5 (5) (8/1 +50%) Beat The Boum	8 8/1(+50%)	(5) Beat The Boum 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden who attracted support but didn't see his race out when eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f) in December. Cheekpieces reached for back from a 67-day break but he does need to take a step forward. Lightly raced 6yo; has shown ability but needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.
4 (4) (10/1 -18%) Dr Shirocco	10 10/1(-18%)	(4) Dr Shirocco 10/1, Winless following 20 attempts over hurdles but made it win number 4 over fences here (23.6f) in November. Creditable fourth nudged up 2 lb back here 2 months ago and no great surprise to see a good showing returned to timber. 0-20 over hurdles but good record here over fences and has lower hurdle mark to work with.
2 (2) (11/1 -57%) Reflection Of You	11 11/1(-57%)	(2) Reflection Of You 11/1, Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 2023) and followed up in 6-runner bumper here first time out under Rules in April. Hasn't come close to that form in 3 hurdle runs this winter but does now get a first crack at handicaps. Cheekpieces/tongue tie on/also had wind op. Betting can guide. Point/bumper winner who is open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut.
1 (1) (12/1 -60%) Evenwood Sonofagun	12 12/1(-60%)	(1) Evenwood Sonofagun 12/1, Long-standing maiden who finished a good second over C&D in November and similar form both outings since, not beaten far when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f) 25 days ago. Eased 1 lb ahead of this and he's an each-way player. Longstanding maiden but some good runs of late (including C&D) and might not be far away.
8 (8) (16/1 +27%) Didntgotwenty	16 16/1(+27%)	(8) Didntgotwenty 16/1, Unplaced both starts in Irish points and well held over hurdles to date. Could show more now upped in trip/sent handicapping from a very lowly mark and the betting may provide a useful guide. Well beaten in novice hurdles but this former pointer now goes up in trip on h'cap debut.

16:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

STAR VANTAGE has benefited from stepping up in trip in recent months with a string of consistent efforts and the son of Ocovango may have been found the ideal opportunity to finally shed the maiden tag. Take A Hike finished runner-up at Wetherby when tackling 3m for the first time and looks to be a threat off 2lb higher. Anamanda and Evenwood Sonofagun are others capable of being in the mix.

STAR VANTAGE hasn't been with the Rebecca Menzies' yard long and again ran well when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Clear of the remainder that day, he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark and earns the vote re-united with Brian Hughes. Take A Hike and Anamanda are others fancied to feature, with handicap-debutante Reflection Of You another to note, particularly if the market spoke in her favour.

The step up to a staying trip has suited STAR VANTAGE and he can break his duck. The unexposed 7yo Take A Hike could be the danger.

16:30 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
3 (3) (11/4 +0%) Cardamon Hill	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(3) Cardamon Hill 11/4, C&D winner in November and comes here on the back of a solid third of 6 in handicap chase here (20.3f, good to soft) following month. Enters calculations eased 1 lb. Seemed to find 2m4f on the short side here on hat-trick bid but ran respectably.
4 (4) (11/4 +39%) Hold Onto The Line	2.75 11/4(+39%)	(4) Hold Onto The Line 11/4, Course winner who arrives in good nick, third of 10 in handicap chase here (15.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip and not discounted. 4-8 here but not having gone much beyond 2m4f under rules asks a major question.
5 (5) (10/3 -67%) Jem In Em	3.333333 10/3(-67%)	(5) Jem In Em 10/3, A fair 3m2f hurdles winner who has started well in this sphere, coming in a very good second of 7 in handicap chase at Newcastle (29.9f, good) in November. Expected to be bang there after a break. Stayed on into second at Newcastle (3m6f, good) last time, not shouting for a shorter trip.
6 (6) (9/2 +47%) Whosmydaddy	4.5 9/2(+47%)	(6) Whosmydaddy 9/2, C&D winner. Not discredited for his new yard (formerly with Sandy Thomson) when third of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (26.1f, soft) 63 days ago. In the picture off a 2 lb lower mark. Won last February/March; revival needed after his two runs this winter, one for new yard.
1 (1) (9/1 -38%) Ganapathi	9 9/1(-38%)	(1) Ganapathi 9/1, Useful hurdle/chase winner for Willie Mullins but losing run stretches back to June 2022 and he hasn't set the world alight in 6 starts for present yard. Others are preferred. No win since June 2022; while some ability remains, he does not inspire much confidence.
2 (2) (12/1 +25%) Red Happy	12 12/1(+25%)	(2) Red Happy 12/1, Completed a hat-trick at Carlisle over a year ago but he has run poorly at Kelso at Hexham this winter, retried in blinkers last time. Has plenty to prove now. The backward steps on his last three starts leave him with plenty to prove.

16:30 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 4 race.

Following a C&D success, Cardamon Hill failed to complete a hat-trick when finishing third over an extended 2m4f here last time, but this step back up in trip might see him get closer off a 1lb lower mark. Even so, JEM IN EM looks the way to go. Lucinda Russell's seven-year-old occupied the runner-up berth in a deeper contest over 3m6f at Newcastle in November and could take full advantage of an unchanged rating. Hold Onto The Line is looks best with Brian Hughes booked.

JEM IN EM is less exposed than these over fences so can build on his very good Newcastle second last time out and gain a first win in this sphere. In-form C&D scorer Cardamon Hill rates a big danger however, while Hold Onto The Line and Whosmydaddy also need factoring into this open handicap chase.

With this trip perhaps not ideal for his chief rivals Hold Onto The Line and Jem In Em, CARDAMON HILL (nap) has a good chance.

17:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f - 11 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
3 (3) (7/4 +22%) Heart Above	1.75 7/4(+22%)	(3) Heart Above 7/4, Progressive in handicaps in the autumn, winning at Perth and over C&D. Sure to go well again if returning from an 80-day break in similar form. Won over C&D in November when last seen; leading claims if resuming where he left off.
9 (9) (10/3 +49%) Milajess	3.333333 10/3(+49%)	(9) Milajess 10/3, Remains a maiden after 23 runs but she recorded one of her best efforts for this yard when second of 10 at Sedgefield (17f, soft) 11 days ago. No match for the winner but that one scored easily again over fences earlier this week. Big player off 1 lb lower. 0-23 but runner-up at Sedgefield recently and holds each-way claims.
2 (2) (15/2 -7%) Trailblazer	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Trailblazer 15/2, Successful over 2m at Perth in July and arrives on the back of creditable in-frame efforts at Newcastle and Sedgefield in recent weeks. Respected with a refitted tongue tie added to his regular cheekpieces. His form has gone the wrong way, but fair efforts the last twice and has an each-way shout.
6 (6) (8/1 +43%) La Quarite	8 8/1(+43%)	(6) La Quarite 8/1, Runner-up on C&D handicap debut for Iain Jardine last February but has failed to reproduce that since. Tongue tied first time. Went close over C&D last February but recent form hasn't been so encouraging.
11 (11) (8/1 +50%) Prospect House	8 8/1(+50%)	(11) Prospect House 8/1, Won a Market Rasen handicap hurdle off 7 lb higher in September 2023. Rather hit and miss since but is well treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Mixed form this season but the odd fair run and he's on a dangerous mark; not discounted.
8 (8) (10/1 +50%) Snow Dragon	10 10/1(+50%)	(8) Snow Dragon 10/1, Has run to a barely modest level on both completed starts over hurdles but no surprise were this 4-y-o to take a step forward in handicaps. Glimmer of promise over C&D last month and this 4yo is not ruled out on handicap debut.
1 (1) (12/1 -50%) King Ulanda	12 12/1(-50%)	(1) King Ulanda 12/1, Landed a gamble in Huntingdon bumper for Tom Weston last May. Hasn't translated that ability to hurdles in 3 attempts but no surprise were he to make a much bigger impact now handicapping. Bumper winner who goes handicapping off a fair mark and is open to improvement.
4 (4) (16/1 -33%) Jet Patrol	16 16/1(-33%)	(4) Jet Patrol 16/1, Headstrong sort who made the frame in a maiden/novice last winter. Would have finished second in a C&D maiden in November but for a late fall but weakened into a well-held seventh in a Newcastle handicap since. Off for 2 months (has wind surgery). Soundly beaten at Newcastle but on a good mark if wind op facilitates a return to form.
12 (12) (25/1 -178%) Inoue	25 25/1(-178%)	(12) Inoue 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler but his latest 2m Catterick handicap third was his best run to date. One of 2 runners for his stable. Fair third at Catterick recently but he needs a bigger performance today.
10 (10) (80/1 -60%) Away She Goes	80 80/1(-60%)	(10) Away She Goes 80/1, Failed to make an impact in 2 bumpers/3 starts over hurdles for Brian Ellison last year and pulled on Ayr handicap debut for new trainer Paul Robson last month. Hard to fancy after that. Hasn't shown much and was pulled up on last month's handicap/stable debut at Ayr.
13 (13) (100/1 +0%) Foshan	100 100/1(+0%)	(13) Foshan 100/1, Poor on Flat and no form over hurdles. 3 lb out of handicap. 0-17 on the Flat and 0-6 over hurdles, with very modest form; would be a shock winner.

17:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 5 race.

HEART ABOVE justified favouritism over track and trip in November and only has a 5lb higher rating to contend with today. Dianne Sayer's seven-year-old has lots in his favour as he bid to make it three wins out of his last four starts, with his main threat possibly being Milajess, who produced a much better effort when second at Sedgefield earlier in the month. Of the remainder, Inoue makes the most appeal after his third-placed effort at Catterick last month.

MILAJESS is a long-standing maiden but she did bump into a handicap blot at Sedgefield last week and this might finally be her day. Heart Above was at the top of his game when last seen in November and heads the dangers along with Trailblazer. Handicap-newcomer King Ulanda would also be of interest if the betting vibes are strong.

This could go to JET PATROL on his first run since wind surgery. He looks to be on a handy mark on his best C&D form.
