14:20 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
6 1st (6) (6/4 +25%) Spit Spot	1.5 6/4(+25%)	(6) Spit Spot 6/4, Fair performer on the Flat and has run to a similar level over hurdles for current yard, runner-up 3 times at the start of 2023 and also a creditable third at Perth when last seen in September. Should be bang there if ready to roll after 6 months off. Placed in four of her eight runs over hurdles and she's respected back from another break.
2 2nd (2) (12/1 +70%) La Quarite	12 12/1(+70%)	(2) La Quarite 12/1, Modest maiden. Second in a C&D handicap early last year but this headstrong sort has largely struggled since. Others are much more obvious. Headstrong sort who is 0-11 over hurdles and has plenty to prove back in a maiden.
1 3rd (1) (10/3 +0%) Gemini Man	3.333333 10/3(+0%)	(1) Gemini Man 10/3, Modest maiden on the Flat. Also pulled up on hurdle debut in Ireland last March but offered a lot more when second in a C&D maiden last month. Should go well if in similar form. 0-19 on the Flat but he was a promising second over hurdles here last month; not ruled out.
4 4th (4) (9/1 -20%) Natzor	9 9/1(-20%)	(4) Natzor 9/1, Fairly useful handicapper at up to 1½m on the Flat for David O'Meara. Showed an aptitude for hurdling when third over C&D last month but not in anything like the same form when down the field at Carlisle 12 days ago. A return to Musselburgh needs to have a reviving effect. Fairly useful on Flat and unexposed over hurdles but he was tailed off at Carlisle latest.
5 5th (5) (200/1 -100%) Wor Lad	200 200/1(-100%)	(5) Wor Lad 200/1, Well held in 2 bumpers/hurdles. First-time blinkers need to spark major improvement. Has struggled at huge prices in two hurdle runs (2m4f) this year; blinkers are now added.
3 \|PU\| (3) (9/4 +86%) Lucky Manifest	2.25 9/4(+86%)	(3) Lucky Manifest 9/4, Modest form in 2 bumpers and a maiden hurdle in Ireland last summer. A watching brief is advised starting out for James Ewart. Third in Irish point in November but he needs improvement back over hurdles for new yard.

14:20 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Formerly with Jim Bolger in Ireland, TEOFIMO looks a shrewd recruit for the Adam Nicol stable and the booking of Brian Hughes catches the eye as he attempts to get off the mark at the third time of asking over hurdles. A promising third on her most recent start at Perth in September, Spit Spot must enter calculations on her return. Gemini Man produced a strong runner-up effort over slightly shorter here last month and is also considered.

TEOFIMO showed fair form when sixth at Navan on his final start for Jim Bolger and might be worth siding with to make a winning start for the Adam Nicol yard faced with a test of speed which ought to play to his strengths. Spit Spot and last month's C&D runner-up Gemini Man look the obvious dangers.

The vote goes to TEOFIMO, who sets the standard on his promising effort at Naas in January and is open to more progress for a new yard.

14:50 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f - 9 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
3 (3) (17/2 +39%) Lone Star	8.5 17/2(+39%)	(3) Lone Star 17/2, Been given a chance by the handicapper but isn't obviously showing any sign that she's ready to take advantage, finishing a remote sixth of 8 at Catterick on latest start 16 days ago. Dual C&D winner but last success was two years ago and she needs a big turnaround.
2 1st (2) (5/1 -82%) Summergrounds	5 5/1(-82%)	(2) Summergrounds 5/1, Made light of a 7-month absence to win at Market Rasen last May and placed on all 4 outings since, the latest at Ayr (19.5f) in November. Player if resuming after a break in similar form. Has form figures of 13232 since last May and he's respected back form a break.
5 2nd (5) (3/1 +54%) Benefit Ben	3 3/1(+54%)	(5) Benefit Ben 3/1, Landed gamble when capitalising on falling mark at Sedgefield last month but nowhere near that level at Newcastle since. Engaged 2.35 Sedgefield Thursday. Won at Sedgefiled but flopped under a penalty at Newcastle; runner-up Sedgefield Thursday.
9 3rd (9) (7/1 +42%) Winds Of Winter	7 7/1(+42%)	(9) Winds Of Winter 7/1, Remains winless but has placed in handicaps over hurdles and fences here this winter. Below par when a remote fifth at Sedgefield last month but Brian Hughes retains the ride. 12-race maiden who was disappointing at Sedgefield last time and needs to bounce back.
8 4th (8) (11/1 +73%) Shantou Lucky	11 11/1(+73%)	(8) Shantou Lucky 11/1, Managed to win a Perth handicap hurdle last autumn. That's a bit of a standout in his time with Jessica Bedi but he is entitled to strip fitter for a recent Doncaster outing after 12 weeks off. Won by 10l at Perth in September but has form figures of 86686 since.
6 5th (6) (12/1 +0%) Reflection Of You	12 12/1(+0%)	(6) Reflection Of You 12/1, Point/course bumper but has yet to better modest form over hurdles, coming in seventh of 8 on last month's 3m course handicap debut. Early days but needs improvement. Unexposed 6yo and she looks a possible improver on this drop back in trip.
4 6th (4) (11/2 -175%) Quian	5.5 11/2(-175%)	(4) Quian 11/2, Winner of a pair of 19f Catterick handicaps since switching to Lizzie Quinlan. Raised another 5 lb but retains handicapping scope on old form. Taken to complete the hat-trick. Resurgent 9yo who has won at Catterick last twice and he remains well treated on old form.
7 7th (7) (5/1 +0%) Beat The Retreat	5 5/1(+0%)	(7) Beat The Retreat 5/1, Sharpened up by cheekpieces (retained) when winning C&D handicap (good to soft) last month. Claims if the headgear works as well a second time. Returned to form when scoring over C&D latest; up 4lb but he could be a big factor again.
1 8th (1) (22/1 +45%) Leading Force	22 22/1(+45%)	(1) Leading Force 22/1, Chase winner at Sedgefield last May. Runner-up at Market Rasen the following month but has failed to fire since. Has a bit of class for this level if staging revival but others arrive with less to prove. On dangerous mark but he needs a major revival back over hurdles; new headgear.

14:50 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

QUIAN has been rejuvenated since joining the Lizzie Quinlan yard and a 5lb hike for his most recent success at Catterick may not be enough to prevent him from landing the hat-trick. The nine-year-old gets the vote ahead of Beat The Retreat, who has a 4lb rise to overcome for a victory over C&D. Placed on each of his four outings since scoring at Market Rasen last May, Summergrounds is another to consider.

QUIAN has thrived for new trainer Lizzie Quinlan and is taken to defy the handicapper again. The reliable Summergrounds won after a break last spring so his 4-month break isn't a concern and he's second choice ahead of last month's C&D scorer Beat The Retreat.

Top of the list is the resurgent QUIAN, who made it 2-3 for his new yard when completing a Catterick double last month.

15:20 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f - 6 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
3 1st (3) (5/1 +0%) Inappropriate	5 5/1(+0%)	(3) Inappropriate 5/1, Fairly useful on Flat and fair form when winning 4-runner Newcastle juvenile hurdle on yard debut in November. Has gone the wrong way since, but this switch to handicap company may enable him to get back on track. Won on hurdling debut but two slightly disappointing runs have followed.
1 2nd (1) (11/4 -22%) Belfrina	2.75 11/4(-22%)	(1) Belfrina 11/4, Built on a couple of promising efforts over hurdles when landing 6-runner listed juvenile at Doncaster (16.6f, good to soft) just under 8 weeks ago, wearing down the front runner in likeable fashion. Runner-up that day has won since and she's an improver now handicapping (has had a wind op since). Won fillies' Listed race in January and could still have more to offer over hurdles.
4 3rd (4) (7/1 +30%) Maple	7 7/1(+30%)	(4) Maple 7/1, Reached the frame on first 4 completed starts in juvenile hurdles for this yard, advancing his form when second at Catterick in January. Failed to repeat that at Kelso next time and now heads down the handicap route with his usual headgear discarded. Second on three of his six hurdle runs but others in this line-up may have more potential.
2 4th (2) (2/1 +27%) Johnny Ringo	2 2/1(+27%)	(2) Johnny Ringo 2/1, Fairly useful on Flat and has made a positive start over hurdles at this track, successful on New Year's Day. Showed some improvement despite meeting trouble at the start when third of 10 in listed company here (15.6f, good to soft) last month and now makes his handicap debut in this sphere. Fairly useful on the Flat and a course winner over hurdles; likely contender.
7 5th (7) (11/2 +73%) Rukaana	5.5 11/2(+73%)	(7) Rukaana 11/2, Fairly useful 1m scorer on Flat for Charles Hills last summer. Sold for 46,000 gns and some promise (modest form) in first 2 starts over hurdles for new yard at the end of last year. Little to shout about the last twice however, including on handicap debut at Huntingdon earlier this month. Soundly beaten on recent handicap debut and needs to take a big step forward.
5 6th (5) (12/1 +0%) Spartan Warrior	12 12/1(+0%)	(5) Spartan Warrior 12/1, Fair dual Flat winner for Ollie Sangster and has translated that ability to hurdles, finishing third on first couple of outings. Failed to see things out faced with more testing conditions at this course (15.6f, soft) on New Year's Day (tongue tied) and off the track since (has had a wind op). Well held on soft ground last time but has shown hurdling promise on good to soft/good.

15:20 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

It is difficult to look past BELFRINA, who bounced back from a final-hurdle fall at Doncaster to score in Listed company at the same track. Wind surgery since then may bring about further improvement and she could have too much for Johnny Ringo, who has made the frame on his three jumping starts, all at this venue, including a win on New Year's Day. Inappropriate is a player on the pick of his form.

BELFRINA displayed a gutsy attitude when wearing down the front runner at Doncaster just under 8 weeks ago and, with further improvement on the cards, David Pipe's filly gets the nod to follow up having had a breathing operation since last seen. Heading up the dangers is Inappropriate, who has gone the wrong way since making a winning start for this yard but can get back on track now handicapping. Johnny Ringo can edge out Spartan Warrior for third.

Preference is for BELFRINA, who was one of two to pull well clear of the others when scoring at Listed level on her latest outing

15:50 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f - 8 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
8 (8) (18/1 +64%) Not In Kansas	18 18/1(+64%)	(8) Not In Kansas 18/1, Won back-to-back races last spring (over C&D on first occasion) and has shaped as if back in form last 2 starts, never travelling well but nearest finish when fourth at this C&D (good to soft) last month. Cheekpieces applied but has plenty to find from out of the weights. Stayed on for fourth over C&D last month but is 18lb out of the weights today; tough task.
2 1st (2) (5/4 +23%) Rockola Vogue	1.25 5/4(+23%)	(2) Rockola Vogue 5/4, Winner of a Worcester bumper and Hexham maiden hurdle (20.1f) in first half of the season. After 3 months off, shaped very well from a long way back when runner-up on handicap debut at Wetherby (19.7f, heavy) 23 days ago, so she's a major player with more still to offer. Given a lot to do before running on well for clear second on h'cap debut; still unexposed.
7 2nd (7) (40/1 -21%) O'faolains Glory	40 40/1(-21%)	(7) O'faolains Glory 40/1, Hurdles/chase winner in Ireland but ended last year on a low-key note and below form in 2 starts back over hurdles for current yard. Long way out of the weights in this contest, so she has work to do back up in trip. Both runs for new stable this year have been underwhelming; 12lb wrong today.
3 3rd (3) (10/1 -82%) Lady Babs	10 10/1(-82%)	(3) Lady Babs 10/1, Now into the veteran stage but has proved better than ever recently, completing hat-trick with a determined success at Carlisle (17f, good to soft) 12 days ago. Carries penalty but she has to be respected in her current form. Veteran mare who is in career-best form and has won her last three races; respected.
4 4th (4) (17/2 -13%) She's Notjoeking	8.5 17/2(-13%)	(4) She's Notjoeking 17/2, Opened hurdles account at the second attempt at Hexham last spring. Making her second handicap start this season, resumed progress when runner-up at Kelso (18.1f) in December, before seeming unsuited by drop back in trip at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) last time. Shortlisted. Twice in the frame since disappointing handicap debut; back up in trip here; 3lb wrong.
5 5th (5) (10/1 +0%) Vanilla Dancer	10 10/1(+0%)	(5) Vanilla Dancer 10/1, Still to add to her bumper success but has yet to finish out of the top 4, showing improved form when runner-up in a Sedgefield novice in January. Not quite at the same level when third in maiden at this C&D (good to soft) last time, but she could be in the mix once more. Consistent in handicap/novice races this season but on a tough mark from 4lb wrong here.
1 6th (1) (3/1 -20%) All The Glory	3 3/1(-20%)	(1) All The Glory 3/1, Landed valuable prize at Newbury final start last season and returned to winning ways over C&D in November, before following up at Southwell later the same month. Back to form when third here (15.6f, good to soft) last time and holds a sizeable class edge over most of these rivals. Progressive and very useful mare who has pushed must of her rivals out of the handicap.
6 \|F\| (6) (16/1 -14%) Theirshegoes	16 16/1(-14%)	(6) Theirshegoes 16/1, Doubled her tally when scoring at this C&D in November and shaped as if still in good form when fourth of 7 at Kelso (18.1f, good to soft) when last seen in December, leading when mistake 2 out. More needed, though, as she returns from 3 months off. C&D winner in November but 7lb wrong today and may have to settle for a minor role.

15:50 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Lady Babs hasn't looked back since scoring at Market Rasen in early February and, having subsequently struck twice at Carlisle, she warrants respect in her bid to land a four-timer. However, she has yet to score beyond 2m1f so ROCKOLA VOGUE gets the vote. The consistent six-year-old caught the eye when a never-nearer second on her handicap bow at Wetherby and a 5lb higher mark looks surmountable. All The Glory is also noted.

ROCKOLA VOGUE did well under the circumstances when second on handicap debut at Wetherby last time, finishing clear of the rest despite having had plenty to do leaving the back straight, so she is taken to build on that effort and resume winning ways. Top-weight All The Glory was a good third here on her latest outing and is feared most back up in trip, ahead of She's Notjoeking.

All The Glory is the class act in the line-up and not opposed lightly but there is more to come from ROCKOLA VOGUE (nap).

16:25 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f - 15 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
9 (9) (80/1 -220%) Giveupyerauldsins	80 80/1(-220%)	(9) Giveupyerauldsins 80/1, Maiden pointer who found some improvement when opening her account in a 2¾m Newcastle novice in December. However, she didn't show much both starts under Rules prior to that and also on her subsequent handicap debut in the C&D contest won by Top Man Tom on New Year's Day. Now tried in blinkers. Won novice at Newcastle (2m6f, good); soundly beaten on handicap debut over C&D (soft).
7 1st (7) (9/1 -29%) Fierce Warrior	9 9/1(-29%)	(7) Fierce Warrior 9/1, Bumper/maiden hurdle winner last term but hasn't made the expected progress in handicaps so far this season, for all that his recent Doncaster (20.8f, good) second was a creditable effort. First-time cheekpieces will need to help eke out some improvement if he's to go one better here. Rallying second at Doncaster (good) last time and now has headgear first time.
2 2nd (2) (22/1 -10%) Punxsutawney Phil	22 22/1(-10%)	(2) Punxsutawney Phil 22/1, Snapped a long losing run over C&D in December and, having followed that with a couple tame displays, he staged a full-scale revival when easily taking a 10-runner Newcastle handicap last month. Race may have come too soon at Huntingdon 7 days later and interesting back here in a first-time visor. Won over C&D in December and by 16l at Newcastle (extended 2m4f) in February.
14 3rd (14) (16/1 +0%) Anamanda	16 16/1(+0%)	(14) Anamanda 16/1, Yet to get her head in front over hurdles but has posted several creditable efforts in defeat this season, including all 3 runs over this C&D. Fell 3 out when racing from 5 lb out of the handicap at Ayr recently and, able to compete off her correct mark back at this course, she's one to consider. Close third over C&D and she wasn't out of it when falling three out at Ayr 13 days ago.
15 4th (15) (11/1 +45%) Star Vantage	11 11/1(+45%)	(15) Star Vantage 11/1, Still seeking first taste of success but went very close to putting that right when just touched off over C&D last month. However, he was beaten 12½ lengths in the Hexham handicap won by Uokhun next time and now finds himself in an even deeper race. Pipped here two runs ago; 4lb out of the handicap, so probably not about to break his duck.
6 5th (6) (10/1 -82%) You Some Girl	10 10/1(-82%)	(6) You Some Girl 10/1, Completed a hat-trick when scoring easily over C&D in November and has continued in good heart since, travelling well throughout when fourth in the 13-runner event won by Prince of Perth back here last time. 6 lb better off with that rival now and this should be a strongly-run race, which will help. Registered a hat-trick (last leg was over C&D) and has remained in form.
5 6th (5) (8/1 -14%) Hostile Hotelier	8 8/1(-14%)	(5) Hostile Hotelier 8/1, Tendency to lug right under pressure isn't a desirable trait but he is nevertheless proving consistent. Deservedly got his head back in front when proving 7½ lengths too good for Edgewell (4 lb pull) at Catterick (25.3f, good to firm) and should again run his race, albeit this is tougher up 4 lb. C&D second to Prince Of Perth; beat Edgewell in 3-runner race at Catterick (3m2f, good).
11 7th (11) (3/1 +63%) Uokhun	3 3/1(+63%)	(11) Uokhun 3/1, Benefited from the step up to 23.3f when belatedly opening her account under William Maggs at Hexham last week. Escapes a penalty for that and, provided she proves equally effective back on a right-handed track, another bold show could be on the way. Won 15-runner Hexham race (extended 2m7f) 8 days ago; same mark today (due to go up 5lb).
8 8th (8) (40/1 -100%) Guernesey	40 40/1(-100%)	(8) Guernesey 40/1, Losing run stretches back to October 2022 but the handicapper has reacted accordingly and this 9-y-o has made the frame one each of his last 3 starts, leaving the impression that his turn may not be far away. Has undergone a wind op since latest run and he's not without each-way hope. No win since October 2022; given wind surgery after latest start; 2-37 strike-rate.
3 9th (3) (14/1 -40%) Forged Well	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Forged Well 14/1, Scored at Kelso in November and didn't do much wrong when runner-up at the same course a month later. Likely to have been placed but for crashing out at the third-last in a 3m Wetherby handicap last time and should be in the mix off the same mark here, provided he is none the worse for that tumble. Staying-on second over an extended 2m6f at Kelso (soft) three starts ago; fell last time.
13 10th (13) (25/1 -56%) Kajaki	25 25/1(-56%)	(13) Kajaki 25/1, It's been almost 2 years since this veteran last got his head in front and while he has slipped to an attractive mark as a consequence, others make more appeal. Veteran who last won in April 2023; makes a rare foray over this sort of trip.
1 11th (1) (8/1 +11%) Top Man Tom	8 8/1(+11%)	(1) Top Man Tom 8/1, Winning pointer who was well held first 2 outings for current yard but improved dramatically with the visor refitted when winning back-to-back C&D handicaps during the winter. However, rocketed up a total of 17 lb for that brace and current mark proved beyond him back here last time. Two front-running wins over C&D; only 5th back over C&D latest but he's back down in class.
10 12th (10) (18/1 -80%) Edgewell	18 18/1(-80%)	(10) Edgewell 18/1, Winner of a handicap chase in Ireland during the autumn and in good form back hurdling since the turn of the year, bagging back-to-back handicaps at Southwell and Fakenham last month, both at around 3m. However, seemingly beaten fair and square by Hostile Hotelier off this mark last time. Seen off in hat-trick bid by Hostile Hotelier at Catterick (three ran) 16 days ago.
12 13th (12) (28/1 -100%) Be The Difference	28 28/1(-100%)	(12) Be The Difference 28/1, Allowed to build up an insurmountable lead when winning an amateur riders' event over 25f at Catterick in December. Best effort since when runner-up in a 19.3f handicap at the same course last time and it would be no surprise whatsoever to see this 9-y-o taking a hand in the finish. Rather stole the race at Catterick in December; good second there on latest start.
4 \|PU\| (4) (4/1 +27%) Prince Of Perth	4 4/1(+27%)	(4) Prince Of Perth 4/1, Improved for step up to 2½m when scoring on handicap bow here in December. Misfired over this C&D next time but, following a wind op and fitted with a tongue strap, he proved that all wrong with a decisive 3¼ lengths verdict over Hostile Hotelier in a 13-runner affair (also over C&D) last time. Up another 6lb but lightly raced and has more to offer after clearcut win over C&D.

16:25 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

A 0-145 Pertemps Qualifier proved a bit too hot for TOP MAN TOM when fifth over C&D, but he makes plenty of appeal off joint top-weight in what is effectively a 0-115 affair. Sandy Thomson's six-year-old had previous racked up a double over track and trip and he's fancied to regain the winning thread. The biggest threat may emerge from last week's Hexham scorer Uokhun, who escapes a penalty, ahead of last-time-out C&D winner Prince Of Perth.

There didn't appear to be any fluke about UOKHUN's breakthrough success in a conditional riders' contest at Hexham and, unpenalised for that, she is taken to follow up here. Prince of Perth resumed his progress when striking over C&D last time and he is feared most ahead of Anamanda and Forged Well.

More progress is highly likely from PRINCE OF PERTH who asserted in taking style when stepped up in trip over C&D last time.

17:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f - 12 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
1 (1) (18/1 -64%) Mack The Man	18 18/1(-64%)	(1) Mack The Man 18/1, Veteran who took this race last year and added 2m wins at Perth and Ayr later in 2024. Recent Ayr third was a step back in the right direction and no surprise to see him make a bold bid to defend his crown. Won this race last year and he's now 4lb lower than for his last success; in the mix.
2 1st (2) (15/2 -7%) Kingston James	7.5 15/2(-7%)	(2) Kingston James 15/2, Bumper/novice hurdle winner. Also good second in Wetherby novice over Christmas and better than result when eighth of 10 on Doncaster handicap debut 3 weeks ago, fading having still been in contention of a place until the final 2f. Less exposed than a lot of these. Edging down the weights and is still unexposed in this sphere but others are preferred.
11 2nd (11) (13/2 -86%) Heart Above	6.5 13/2(-86%)	(11) Heart Above 13/2, Progressive in handicaps in the autumn, winning at Perth and over 2m here. Made an encouraging return from a break when third of 11 over 2m here last month and big player for a yard seeking a third win in this race. Has form figures of 231213 since August and his last win was at this track; respected.
7 3rd (7) (5/1 -11%) Haarar	5 5/1(-11%)	(7) Haarar 5/1, Fourth win of a productive season when seeing off Bathgate by 1¼ lengths at Catterick (2m, good to soft) 39 days ago. A 4 lb rise doesn't look enough to prevent another prominent showing. Smooth winner at Catterick (1m7f) last month and he's open to more progress; big player.
5 4th (5) (11/2 -10%) No No Fizz	5.5 11/2(-10%)	(5) No No Fizz 11/2, Back to back wins at the end of last year, including over 2m here. Improved again when second of 15 over 2m here at the beginning of February and he should give another good account. Two hurdle wins for current yard and she resumed her progress when runner-up here latest.
4 5th (4) (9/1 -13%) Ravenscraig Castle	9 9/1(-13%)	(4) Ravenscraig Castle 9/1, Fairly useful stayer on Flat but hasn't won since his 3-y-o days. Has been running with credit in handicap hurdles this winter but he'll need things to drop perfectly to get his head in front. 0-8 over hurdles but he's run well here (1m7f) in last two runs and has each-way claims.
10 6th (10) (6/1 +63%) Scots Poet	6 6/1(+63%)	(10) Scots Poet 6/1, Well handicapped again. Hasn't fired this winter but has often saved his best for the spring. Also has first-time cheekpieces added to a tongue tie. On dangerous mark but he needs a major revival with cheekpieces added.
6 7th (6) (17/2 +29%) Cuban Cigar	8.5 17/2(+29%)	(6) Cuban Cigar 17/2, Won this race in 2023 and fourth last year. Only mid-division here on latest start 7 weeks ago but he's dangerous to discount having dipped to his lowest mark for a while. Disappointing since his second at Perth in September and losing run is now up to 16.
9 8th (9) (25/1 -25%) Restandbethankful	25 25/1(-25%)	(9) Restandbethankful 25/1, Won 17f handicap chase at Cartmel in August. Also a good second at Kelso in September but has been unable to cash in on a lower hurdle mark in his 3 outings since. Last three wins have been over fences; has been disappointing over hurdles last twice.
12 9th (12) (13/2 +54%) Jet Patrol	6.5 13/2(+54%)	(12) Jet Patrol 13/2, Headstrong sort who made the frame in a maiden/novice hurdles last winter. Would have finished second in a 2m course maiden in November but for a late fall but below par in 2 handicaps since. 0-8 under rules and was 10l behind Heart Above here last time; others preferred.
3 10th (3) (20/1 -100%) Bathgate	20 20/1(-100%)	(3) Bathgate 20/1, Pair of handicap hurdle wins this winter. Also a good second at Catterick last month but his run of good form came to a halt at Newcastle last time. Bounce back needed. Flopped at Newcastle but that was after a good spell; has claims if he can bounce back.
8 11th (8) (50/1 -100%) The Navigator	50 50/1(-100%)	(8) The Navigator 50/1, Successful in this race in 2023 and this veteran bagged 3 more handicap wins in the first half of this season. Not at his best in recent starts but might have needed his latest one after 4 months off and the stable's good record in this affords him respect. Won two in a row in October but he's not been at the same level since; others preferred.

17:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

HAARAR justified strong market support when winning comfortably at Catterick and, with a 4lb rise deemed fair, he is fancied to complete a double. Heart Above has won and placed on his last couple of visits to this track and, off a handy racing weight, he is likely to be in the shake-up once again. Ravenscraig Castle and No No Fizz are others to note in a competitive handicap.

Dianne Sayer seems to target this race and HEART ABOVE looks set for a bold bid after returning from a short break to finish third in a 2m course handicap last month. Fergal O'Brien's No No Fizz also warmed up for this with a good placed effort here last month and is second choice ahead of Haarar and last year's winner Mack The Man.

A competitive race in which the vote goes to HAARAR who made it 3-10 over hurdles when scoring in smooth style at Catterick last month.

17:30 Musselburgh NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f - 5 Run Class & Speed Card

Form	Odds	Age
2 2nd (2) (3/1 -9%) Centurion's Sister	3 3/1(-9%)	(2) Centurion's Sister 3/1, Getaway filly who shaped better than bare result on debut when eighth of 11 in bumper at Carlisle in November. Duly improved on that when runner-up at Newcastle (16.2f, slow) since and she's a major player. Second of nine at Newcastle (2m, AW) in January; comparable form claims to some others.
8 3rd (8) (11/2 +39%) Perfectot	5.5 11/2(+39%)	(8) Perfectot 11/2, Showed something to work on when coming home third in an 8-runner Sedgefield bumper (16.8f, good to soft) on recent debut, despite refusing to settle. Entitled to come on for that run and she needs considering. 15-2, raced freely but kept on when 12l third of eight at Sedgefield (good) ten days ago.
3 4th (3) (5/1 +44%) Chanelle Noir	5 5/1(+44%)	(3) Chanelle Noir 5/1, Safely held starting out in a bumper at Ascot last month and others make more appeal. 17l sixth of ten at Ascot (1m7f, good; 20-1) and this company should be easier.
6 6th (6) (33/1 +50%) Tiggerelli	33 33/1(+50%)	(6) Tiggerelli 33/1, Hasn't shown a great deal in 2 starts to date and it's easy enough to look elsewhere. Sixth of nine at Newcastle (AW; 33-1) was better but she still has major work to do.
1 7th (1) (50/1 +50%) Anny Mcphee	50 50/1(+50%)	(1) Anny Mcphee 50/1, Tailed off in a Hexham bumper for Katie Scott in June 2023 and, absent since, she is readily passed over. 28-1, trained by Katie Scott when completely tailed off in a Hexham bumper in June 2023.

17:30 Musselburgh NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Lucinda Russell has won the last couple of runnings of this contest and CHANONRY POINT, a 40,000-pound purchase after scoring between the flags in Ireland in January, could well complete the hat-trick for her handler. No Flies On Her also has a point-to-point victory on her CV and warrants plenty of respect making her NH debut, while Newcastle runner-up Centurion's Sister completes the shortlist.

Maiden point winners CHANONRY POINT and No Flies On Her are both appealing on paper and could be the pair to concentrate on, particularly if the market vibes surrounding them are upbeat. Representing the yard responsible for the last two winners of this race, Chanonry Point is marginally preferred. Centurion's Sister showed the benefit of her debut spin when finishing second at Newcastle and she is third choice ahead of likely improver Perfectot.

Some of the others have shown promise under rules but preference is for the winning pointer CHANONRY POINT.

Horse racing is a popular and historic sport in the UK, with a tradition dating back centuries. It is a multi-billion pound industry that attracts millions of spectators each year and generates significant economic activity.

Other notable horse racing events in the UK include the Derby, held at Epsom Downs Racecourse in Surrey, and the Royal Ascot, held at Ascot Racecourse in Berkshire.

Horse racing in the UK is regulated by the British Horseracing Authority (BHA), which sets rules and standards for the industry. It is responsible for the welfare of racehorses and the safety of jockeys and trainers, as well as ensuring fair and transparent racing practices.

In addition to its economic and cultural importance, horse racing in the UK also plays a significant role in the breeding and training of thoroughbred horses. Many of the world's top thoroughbreds are bred and trained in the UK, and the industry plays a vital role in the preservation and promotion of the breed.

Overall, horse racing is an integral part of British culture and a major contributor to the country's economy. It is a thrilling and exciting sport that continues to attract a loyal following and generate significant interest from spectators and bettors around the world.
