The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

Captain Winters was last seen finishing a disappointing fifth in Listed company at Pontefract in October and should not be ruled out down in grade. However, DUMFRIES made a pleasing return from a short break when scoring over this trip at Southwell last month, and the fact he was only denied by a neck at Brighton on his latest turf run has to make him of interest. Manitou completes the shortlist.

A highly-competitive three-year-old handicap, in which recent Southwell maiden winner DUMFRIES is fancied to follow up from that decisive success on handicap debut. Gincident has enjoyed a productive winter and merits respect back on turf, with Lion of War narrowly making most appeal of those returning from winter breaks.

Last year's Chesham fourth FINN'S CHARM represents a stable that has an excellent record in this race. Chillhi is feared most.

Even though Gweedore is now rated 7lb higher than when winning this last year, he can confirm form with the reopposing Northern Express. AUTUMN FESTIVAL arrives on a six-timer, though, and gets the vote. He beat Abduction (second) on his latest run here and, though Jim Goldie's charge is respected now 2lb better off at the weights, the gut feeling is that the selection will improve again this year. Bling On The Music is another worthy of a market check.

ABDUCTION made a fine start for Jim Goldie in the autumn, landing back-to-back handicaps at Ayr before finishing an unlucky second behind re-opposing Autumn Festival over C&D on his final start. Evidently still on a good mark, he shades the vote to make a winning return, with Dirtyoldtown, whose Doncaster reappearance is easily overlooked, and The Gatekeeper just a couple of likely threats.

Preference is for GWEEDORE who won this race last year and the 5lb claim of the highly talented Billy Loughnane is a major plus.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Even though Vintage Clarets disappointed over this trip at Doncaster on his latest outing in October, that was arguably the result of a long season and he can bounce back returning from a break. He is still rated 7lb above his last winning mark, though, so SILKY WILKIE is marginally preferred. A drop in trip following a tiring finish at Wolverhampton over 6f last time out looks set to suit the gelded son of Mehmas. Catch Cunningham is another to note.

THE BELL CONDUCTOR arrives on the back of a good effort and he has a fitness edge over the bulk of his rivals, so he could be the answer to this wide-open sprint handicap. Came From The Dark is one to note down in grade and it would come as no surprise were Vintage Clarets to up his game on seasonal debut.

The hold-up horse Water Of Leith a tempting option at big odds but preference is for three-time C&D winner MAKANAH.

A progressive stayer throughout last season, SPIRIT MIXER looks to have been found a decent opportunity on his return to action with conditions in his favour. His runner-up effort in last year's Northumberland Plate appeals as the strongest form on offer and he is preferred to course specialist Wise Eagle, and November Handicap winner Metier, who may need a bit more cut in the ground. The unexposed Good Show is of interest on his handicap debut, while Emiyn and Onesmoothoperator cannot be ruled out either.

This can go to SPIRIT MIXER, who really progressed last year and reappears off a handy mark. Wise Eagle and Pleasant Man head the list of dangers.

Such a good race would not normally be the first thought for a handicap debutant but GOOD SHOW (nap) is very much a horse to follow.

16:10 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A chance is taken on SERGEANT WILKO, who is by a sire known for breeding sharp sprint types and his stable are no strangers to having first-time-out winners either. A costly purchase at the sales, Treasure Storm is likely to be forward on debut for the powerful Amo Racing team, while Balon D'or makes appeal on pedigree being by Kodiac out of a Requinto mare. Blue Prince can also have a say in proceedings, being one of the first progeny of multiple Group 1 winner Blue Point.

TREASURE STORM makes plenty of appeal on paper being out a sister to the French Group 1 winning sprinter Signs of Blessing and she represents connections who went close to landing the Brocklesby at Doncaster a week ago. The filly is taken to make a winning debut, with Balon d'Or and Yorkshire Terrier two of the other more likely types in the line-up.

Dominic Ffrench Davis saddled the Brocklesby runner-up last Saturday and TREASURE STORM is taken to make a winning debut.

The value may lie with LADY LADE, who was unlucky when narrowly denied by the reopposing Havagomecca (first) over C&D in October last year. The booking of Kevin Stott catches the eye and, off a light weight, she may have too much for recent Doncaster winner Ey Up It's Maggie, and Leodis Dream, who finished last season with a convincing success at Ripon. Black Friday and Le Beau Garcon are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

PRIMO'S COMET notched his sixth success over this C&D on his latest visit here last summer and, now 10 lb below that winning mark, he makes plenty of appeal on the back of some eye-catching recent efforts on the all-weather. Vadamiah would have been even higher on the shortlist but for being drawn widest of all and, under the circumstances, Ey Up It's Maggie, who made a winning reappearance at Doncaster last weekend, is feared most. Le Beau Garcon is also worth a second look.

Le Beau Garcon and James Watt are considered but PRIMO'S COMET should appreciate the return to this C&D.

Fitness has to be taken on trust with many of these and it may be worth chancing COPPER MOUNTAIN. The four-year-old ran one of her better races last time out when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton and she returns to the turf off a 1lb lower mark than her win at Wetherby in April last year. Judgment Call and Tommy G are feared most if returning at their best.

JUDGMENT CALL was a dual winner last term and ran well over 7f here on his final outing last season, so gets the nod ahead of Star of St James, who was largely consistent for the bulk of last season, and recent Newcastle winner Showmedemoney.

This could go to the reappearing STAR OF ST JAMES who was admirably consistent on turf in the second half of last year.

Don't Look Back romped home by six lengths in testing conditions over 1m2f at Doncaster last week, but Lucinda Russell's inmate isn't sure to excel now faced with this sharper test off 8lb higher in the handicap. With that in mind, BASHFUL, who was just denied over this distance at Newcastle recently, makes most appeal. Beltane returns to the turf off a declining mark and he may have been freshened up by a break.

After a spell over hurdles, BASHFUL continued in good heart when runner-up at Newcastle 15 days ago and he can return to winning ways with the visor (which he wore for his victory at Redcar in November) now back on. Don't Look Back was a clear-cut winner at Doncaster a week ago and is feared most, ahead of Beltane.

Bashful comes here on the back of a good run but DON'T LOOK BACK bolted up at Doncaster last week and can follow up.

About U.K Horse Racing

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.

There are two main types of horse racing in the UK: flat racing and jump racing. Flat racing is run on a level course and is typically shorter in distance, while jump racing involves horses jumping over obstacles and is generally longer in distance. Both types of racing are popular with spectators and bettors, and they take place at various racetracks throughout the country.

The most famous horse racing event in the UK is the Grand National, which is held annually at Aintree Racecourse in Liverpool. It is a jump racing event that is known for its challenging course and has become a national institution in the UK. 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.
