(6) Whisky Mcgonagall 8/1, Thrice-raced gelding. Fourth of 9 in minor event (33/1) at Catterick (5f, good to soft) 9 days ago, slowly away. More is required.
Has run well enough on his last two starts to suggest he has a fair chance here.

2.5/1(+17%)
(4) Daley T 2.5/1, Lightly-raced gelding. 8/1, excellent second of 9 in handicap at Newcastle (6f). Off 100 days but not discounted.
Best run when third over 6f at Newcastle last time (pulled hard); drop down to 5f may suit.

Rooska

3.33
3.33/1(+72%)
(5) Rooska 3.33/1, 18,000 gns foal, 28,000 gns yearling, Camacho gelding. Closely related to 7f winner Roxette and half-brother to 1m winner Raphael. In good hands so he's no forlorn hope.
28,000gns yearling by Camacho; closely related to 7f winner Roxette; may need further.

(1) Victory Flagship 2.75/1, Promising type. Second of 9 in maiden (50/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) on debut 31 days ago. Open to improvement. Big player.
Pleasing debut when runner-up at 50-1 over 5f at Thirsk; should improve; the one to beat.

(7) Ana Emaraaty 80/1, Twice-raced gelding. First run since leaving Owen Burrows when fourteenth of 15 in maiden at Doncaster (7f, heavy, 80/1) 7 days ago. Down in trip with work to do.
10,000gns purchase last October; poor form so far and others stronger.
LTO Selection:

13:40 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

1st: 2/1 (1) VICTORY FLAGSHIP 2nd: 3/1 (4) DALEY T 3rd: 2.75/1 (2) LADY PASCHA

VICTORY FLAGSHIP outran odds of 50/1 to finish second on his racecourse debut at Thirsk a month ago and he could be hard to beat with the benefit of that experience. Lady Pascha was third at equally big odds in the same contest and could prove to be the main threat to the selection, ahead of Daley T and Whisky Mcgonagall.

Declan Carroll looks to hold a strong hand here and his lightly-raced Garswood gelding VICTORY FLAGSHIP is fancied to build on his promising Thirsk debut second and get off the mark at the chief expense of stablemate Lady Pascha, who also has very few miles on the clock. Newcastle runner-up Daley T and newcomer Rooska need considering too.

This doesn't look a strong contest and VICTORY FLAGSHIP, a good second at Thirsk first time out, is taken to get off the mark.

4/1(-20%)
(4) Gunnerside 4/1, Latest win at Southwell in April before suffering a poor run when sixth of 10 in handicap (6/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 17 days ago. Well in the mix off the same mar.
6f Southwell winner last month; won four times on turf in 2021; has won over 7f; chance.

Code Purple

1

(1) Code Purple 1/1, 9/2, career best when cosily winning 11-runner handicap at Redcar (7f, heavy) 18 days ago. This C&D winner is expected to be bang there.
Strong puller; in good form on the AW before Redcar win back on turf; up 2lb; chance.

3rd (5) Giselles Izzy (8/1 +11%)
Giselles Izzy

8
8/1(+11%)
(5) Giselles Izzy 8/1, 11/2, last of 7 in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 25 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Sole win in 15 was over 6f in December; some good runs over 7f and on turf; a possible.

One Last Hug

18
18/1(-13%)
(7) One Last Hug 18/1, Below form tenth of 17 in handicap (14/1) at Doncaster (7f, heavy) 7 days ago, finding test too much. Twenty eight runs since last win in 2020.
Only win was over 1m2f; good 3rd over 6f on reappearance; poor last time; hard to predict.

5th (6) The Gay Blade (9/1 -50%)
The Gay Blade

9
9/1(-50%)
(6) The Gay Blade 9/1, Ended 2022 with a good fifth of 8 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (6f). Off 6 months but can't be discounted.
6f winner in September; seems to stay 7f but may need the run after a break..
2
6th (2) Rumnotred (7/1 +36%)
Rumnotred

7
7/1(+36%)
(2) Rumnotred 7/1, 10/3, seventh of 9 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f) 31 days ago. Makes turf debut. First run for yard after leaving Rod Millman. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort.
Six-race maiden; a couple of placed efforts on the AW but below best recently; turf debut.
3
7th (3) Monhammer (14/1 +22%)
Monhammer

14
14/1(+22%)
(3) Monhammer 14/1, C&D winner. Twelfth of 14 in handicap (18/1) at Newcastle (8f). Off 6 months and needs to hit the ground running.
Two wins, one over C&D, last season; back from a break; should come on for the run.
LTO Selection:

14:15 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Predicted order of finish: 1. 1.25/1 (1) CODE PURPLE 2. 3.33/1 (4) GUNNERSIDE 3. 18/1 (3) MONHAMMER

CODE PURPLE arrives here on the back of two victories in recent months and a 2lb rise for the most recent of those wins at Redcar may not be enough to stop him from making it a hat-trick. Gunnerside is a player based on his Southwell success two starts ago, while Giselles Izzy and One Last Hug also make the shortlist.

CODE PURPLE looks the way to go on the back of his cosy Redcar success and can defy a 2 lb rise in the weights to complete a quick hat-trick. Gunnerside suffered a poor run when sixth at Southwell last time so should ensure Ben Haslam's C&D scorer doesn't get things all his own way though. The returning The Gay Blade appeals as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.

With his stable in fine form CODE PURPLE is taken to complete a hat-trick for Ben Haslam with Gunnerside his most likely danger.

Thermoscope

0.73
0.73/1(+61%)
(1) Thermoscope 0.73/1, Lightly-raced ex-Irish gelding who scored on his sole run for Brian Ellison in 2m handicap at Newcastle in October. Changed hands for 40,000gns after and he rates a player with more to offer for another new yard.
Ex-Irish; won over 2m at Newcastle in October; has since changed yards again; chance.
4
2nd (4) Idilico (12/1 -85%)
Idilico

12
12/1(-85%)
(4) Idilico 12/1, 18/1, tenth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, soft) 41 days ago. Fair on the Flat, so can give a good account back in this sphere.
Chance on his best form; recent efforts over jumps less good and perhaps best watched.
5
3rd (5) Kiss My Face (5/1 -25%)
Kiss My Face

5
5/1(-25%)
(5) Kiss My Face 5/1, Completed a four-timer at Southwell in April. Not disgraced off a 4 lb higher mark despite coming in last of 5 in handicap at Chelmsford City (16f, 10/3) 15 days ago. In the picture once more.
In fine form this year with a 3m jumps win and three 2m AW Flat wins; a possible.
2
4th (2) Grand Canal (4/1 +60%)
Grand Canal

4
4/1(+60%)
(2) Grand Canal 4/1, 18/1, last of 14 in handicap at Bath (11.6f, soft) 28 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do.
Dual winner at Ayr last year; poor run on reappearance (soft) and needs to bounce back.
3
5th (3) Aegis Power (14/1 -300%)
Aegis Power

14
14/1(-300%)
(3) Aegis Power 14/1, Fair maiden handicapper who wasn't digraced when sixth of 9 in minor event at Nottingham (14f, heavy) 6 months ago on his final run for Andrew Balding. Weighted to go well for his new stable.
Ex-Andrew Balding; 0-9 but placed six times over 1m2f/1m4f; first run at 2m; interesting.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Based on the information provided, 2.75/1 (5) KISS MY FACE seems to be the strongest contender for finishing in the top 3 as it has been in fine form with recent wins. 7.5/1 (3) AEGIS POWER and 1.1/1 (1) THERMOSCOPE could also have a chance based on their previous performances and weight. Therefore, the predicted order of finish would be 2.75/1 (5) KISS MY FACE, 7.5/1 (3) AEGIS POWER, and 1.1/1 (1) THERMOSCOPE.

KISS MY FACE disappointed when last of five at Chelmsford on his most recent outing, but the son of Nathaniel can be given another chance having racked up a three-timer before that defeat. Zephlyn was second to the selection a couple of starts ago and cannot be discounted as a result. Aegis Power makes his debut for Tim Easterby here and is capable of going well, despite remaining a maiden.

THERMOSCOPE made an immediate impact for Brian Ellison when going in at Newcastle and this lightly-raced 5-y-o can make a winning debut for Keith Dalgleish now with very few miles still on the clock. Aegis Power is still a maiden but weighted to go well on his seasonal return and next on the list ahead of in-form Kiss My Face.

It could pay to go with THERMOSCOPE on his stable debut despite his absence since October. Aegis Power looks his main danger.

(1) Havagomecca 6/1, C&D winner. 10/1, eleventh of 16 in handicap at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago. Cheekpieces back on. Likely to find one or two too good.
C&D winner off 2lb lower last term; may have needed the run last time; should fare better.

3.5/1(-5%)
(3) Riversway 3.5/1, 5/1, career best when winning 9-runner handicap at Southwell (5f) when last seen in September. Resumes on a 5 lb higher mark but she's a major player all the same.
Won three of her last 4 races in 2022; career-high mark; has gone well fresh; a possible.

5f winner for Tom Clover; 14,000gns purchase; below form both starts for this yard.

5th (5) Lady Lade (2.5/1 +38%)
Lady Lade

2.5
2.5/1(+38%)
(5) Lady Lade 2.5/1, Bit below form eighth of 16 in handicap (6/1) at this C&D (soft) 27 days ago. Likely to come on for that run (first outing for 6 months) and she's capable of a bold show.
Two good runs on last two starts last term and ran as though needing the race last time.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Prediction: 3.33/1 (3) RIVERSWAY is likely to do well based on her recent form and previous successes. She could finish in 1st place. 4/1 (5) LADY LADE could come in 2nd place, as she has shown improvement in her last two runs and is likely to improve further after her recent outing. 2.5/1 (6) PRIMO'S COMET has a chance of finishing in 3rd place based on his fitness edge and previous performance at the course.

Modular Magic has been kept busy on the all-weather of late and the six-year-old could have a say in proceedings back over turf, but RIVERSWAY secured a comfortable success over this trip at Southwell when last seen in September. She is fancied to make a winning return to action off 5lb higher, while Primo's Comet finished a far from disgraced third over C&D last month and may give the selection plenty to think about.

PRIMO'S COMET boasts a very good record here and, having performed with credit in a more competitive C&D handicap than this last month, he makes plenty of appeal off the same mark. If able to pick up where she left off last season, Riversway will be a big threat, while both Lady Lade and Mr Beaufort are capable of taking a hand in the finish.

The 8yo PRIMO'S COMET, who was a good third here last time, can make it seven wins over C&D by beating Riversway and Lady Lade.

Only Flat wins came in 2018; not seen in this sphere since 2021.
LTO Selection:

15:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to accurately predict which horse will do well in the race. However, some horses that have shown promise in recent races include 2.5/1 (4) CARLOS FELIX, 8/1 (6) SIMPLE STAR, 4.5/1 (3) LEDNIKOV, 5.5/1 (8) SMART LASS, and 18/1 (5) GREAT COLACI. As for the top three finishers, it is impossible to determine without more information on the other horses in the race and their recent form.

Only narrowly denied over 1m4f at Wolverhampton last month, CARLOS FELIX must enter calculations on his return to turf and he is entitled to be in the mix, even though he is now rated 3lb higher for the aforementioned run. Lednikov finished a fair fourth, also over 1m4f, on his latest outing and is feared most, while Smart Lass is another to bear in mind.

CARLOS FELIX often gives himself a bit to do out of the stalls but he's back in good order and, given the mark he's dropped to these days, he will take some stopping. Billy Bathgate is interesting down in trip, with Lednikov another to consider.

Solid contender LEDNIKOV (nap) is taken to follow up last year's success in this contest. Carlos Felix is feared most.

Has not built on early promise; enough to prove over new trip.
LTO Selection:

16:25 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary, 1.38/1 (4) PURPLE MARTINI seems to be the strongest contender as they have a win on reappearance and their subsequent effort suggests they can handle the longer trip. For 2nd place, 3/1 (1) GONE seems like a good choice as they have been successful in two of their last three attempts over 7f and have narrowly resumed winning ways after a break. For 3rd place, 10/1 (5) CAPOFAN could be a possible contender, despite suffering a heavy defeat last week, as they are well-treated on their best efforts and will have cheekpieces on for the first time.

PURPLE MARTINI shaped as though a return to further would suit having kept on for fourth at Ripon over a furlong shorter 15 days ago. She remains capable of better and shades the vote over Gone, who has been steadily progressive in recent starts. Capofan has tumbled in the ratings, having been allocated an opening mark of 64, and completes the shortlist.

PURPLE MARTINI shaped as if this step back up to 7f would suit when fourth at Ripon just over a fortnight ago, so Ben Haslam's charge is fancied to regain the winning thread at the expense of B Associates, who wasn't seen to best effect on return at Newcastle earlier this week. Gone completes the shortlist.

(1) Monroe Gold 10/1, Modest maiden. Creditable fifth of 11 in handicap at Hamilton (11f, good) on final 3-y-o start. Down in trip. Relatively unexposed and one to note in the betting on reappearance with a decent 5 lb claimer up.
May improve for this drop back in distance on second handicap attempt.

(5) Dedenne 5.5/1, Lightly-raced maiden. Disappointing in 2 AW handicaps towards the end of 2022 but yard perseveres and she's less exposed that most at this level. Interesting to see if there's any strength behind her in the betting.
Still has low mileage; may show improvement off this mark on 4yo reappearance.

17:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Based on the summary provided, it is difficult to determine with certainty which horses will finish in the top three. However, the following horses seem to have potential: 1. 2.25/1 (2) FANZONE - With a close second at Bath last month and a win at this venue last spring, 2.25/1 (2) FANZONE is a strong contender and

It's been a while since drinks for HOW BIZARRE, but Liam Bailey's charge has been in good form on the all-weather recently and he might be ready to take advantage of a sliding handicap mark. Stablemate Fanzone features prominently in calculations having been narrowly denied at Bath last month, along with Going Underground, who finished a good second over C&D last time out.

FANZONE gained his sole success here and might be capable of notching another if reproducing anything like the form he showed when narrowly denied in a competitive race at Bath on Good Friday. Going Underground was runner-up over C&D last time and may provide chief threat ahead of the selection's stablemate How Bizarre.

On current form the leading contenders are FANZONE, Going Underground and How Bizarre in that order of preference.

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.

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.
