Charged Up

0.91
0.91/1(+0%)
(2) Charged Up 0.91/1, Third in Brocklesby on debut and met trouble at a crucial stage when fourth of 9 at Beverley next time. Back on track when second at Carlisle and he sets a fair standard up in trip.
Has shown promise in all three runs and he sets a fair standard; key player upped to 7f.

Swift Salian

8
8/1(+60%)
(4) Swift Salian 8/1, Foaled March 20. €12,000 foal, £25,000 yearling, Holy Roman Emperor colt. Closely related to winner up to French 11f Bay of Gibraltar and half-brother to 9.5f winner in Doha Ras Al Qimmah. Stepped up on debut run when sixth at Ayr and 7f will suit.
Some promise at Ayr but he needs another major step forward on this step up in trip.

Lexington Belle

3/1(+25%)
(7) Lexington Belle 3/1, Foaled January 24. €6,000 yearling, Belardo filly. Half-sister to 7f winner Lone Creek and useful winner up to 1¼m Mackaar. Dam ran twice. Mid-field starting out at Lingfield a fortnight ago. Could progress.
Ran well well for long way at Lingfield and she's open to progress on this step up in trip.

Plenty to like on paper and he's an interesting newcomer.

16/1(+20%)
(6) Buttercross Flyer 16/1, Foaled April 28. €17,000 yearling, 40,000 gns 2-y-o, Inns of Court filly. Half-sister to 3 winners, including 2-y-o 1m winner Bon Scotte and 6f-1m winner Made of Honour.
Yard 4-30 with 2yos this season and market should guide on debut.

Loubiere

25
25/1(-56%)
(5) Loubiere 25/1, Seventh of 9 in maiden (20/1) at Hamilton (6f, good to firm) on debut 12 days ago. May well do better with that outing under her belt.
Didn't show a great deal at Hamilton (6f) and is probably one for further down the line.

Due Consideration

22
22/1(+45%)
(3) Due Consideration 22/1, Already gelded and never a serious factor when seventh of 13 in novice event at Ripon (6f, good to firm) on debut 11 days ago, slowly away.
Made a low-key start at a biggish price at Ripon last month; best watched.
LTO Selection:

18:30 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CHARGED UP sets a decent standard after three respectable efforts, the best of which saw him chase home the potentially useful Dawn Charger (went on to finish seventh in the Albany at Royal Ascot) on his latest start. Stepping up in trip could unlock further improvement and this son of Expert Eye is a key player. Lexington Belle also showed potential on debut over 6f at Lingfield last month, while Alpen Power is an interesting newcomer.

CHARGED UP got back on track when runner-up at Carlisle a month ago and with 7f likely to suit, he can put his experience to the best possible use. Loubiere will know more this time and is a threat, while any market support for Alpen Power on debut would look noteworthy.

The vote goes to CHARGED UP, who sets a fair standard and could have more to offer on his step up to this trip.

Heart Of Sofia

8.5
8.5/1(-6%)
(6) Heart Of Sofia 8.5/1, Bit below form fourth of 13 in handicap at Doncaster (7f, firm, 22/1) 15 days ago, outpaced around 3f out but keeping on again final 1f. Worth a crack at this longer trip on that evidence.
Made some late gains at Doncaster and she looks a possible improver on this step up to 1m.
4
1st (4) Cuban Rock (7/1 +22%)
Cuban Rock

7
7/1(+22%)
(4) Cuban Rock 7/1, Maiden who hasn't been pulling up any trees so far this term, eighth of 11 in handicap at this course (5f) 10 days ago. Steps back up significantly in trip now and is at least now operating from career-low mark. Cheekpieces back on.
13-race maiden who has been well below form last twice and is untried at this trip.
1
2nd (1) Star Start (1.62/1 +35%)
Star Start

1.62
1.62/1(+35%)
(1) Star Start 1.62/1, Well beaten on return at Newcastle (12.5f) in May but took a step forward to shed maiden tag dropped back in trip at Carlisle (9f) 32 days ago, racing prominently and leading final 50 yds. Claims if arriving in same form with Billy Loughnane taking off a valuable 3 lb.
Off the mark with a strong-finishing win at Carlisle (1m1f) and he's only 2lb higher here.

Rockin Rosa

7.5
7.5/1(+25%)
(3) Rockin Rosa 7.5/1, Remains a maiden after 8 starts and she ran below her best when fifth of 8 in handicap at Redcar (7f) 10 days ago, weakening final 1f. Needs to pull out more on first crack at 1m.
Eight-race maiden who has not progressed and she needs to find more at this new trip.
2
4th (2) Lincoln Rockstar (1.75/1 -59%)
Lincoln Rockstar

1.75
1.75/1(-59%)
(2) Lincoln Rockstar 1.75/1, 1m nursery winner last year who showed improved form on return/yard debut when second in 10-runner Beverley handicap (10f) 6 days ago, just unable to wear down a race-fit rival. Cheekpieces go on now and she's fancied to be thereabouts again with a repeat.
Went close on stable debut at Beverley (1m2f) last week; big player off same mark.
5
5th (5) Ladylingmoor (33/1 -65%)
Ladylingmoor

33
33/1(-65%)
(5) Ladylingmoor 33/1, Thrice-raced maiden. 80/1, eighth of 9 in maiden at Catterick (6f, good to firm) 31 days ago. Significantly up in trip for handicap debut and worth noting if the market speaks in her favour.
Still early days but he needs a transformation upped to 1m on handicap debut.
LTO Selection:

19:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Recent Carlisle winner Star Start is respected off just 2lb higher and should be popular with the talented Billy Loughnane booked for the ride. However, as is the case with Lincoln Rockstar, who races in first-time cheekpieces, consistency hasn't been his strong point, and he is taken on with the lightly-raced HEART OF SOFIA. The Nigel Tinkler-trained filly has shown improved form of late and, with another step up in trip likely to suit, she could be hard to beat.

STAR START left his reappearance effort trailing in his wake when shedding the maiden tag at Carlisle 32 days ago and with his rider's valuable claim offsetting his rise in the weights, he's expected to be firmly in the mix again. Lincoln Rockstar, who arrives on the back of a good second at Beverley, can emerge as the chief threat.

Recent Carlisle winner Star Start is respected but the vote goes to last week's Beverley runner-up LINCOLN ROCKSTAR.

Robert Johnson

1.62
1.62/1(-8%)
(4) Robert Johnson 1.62/1, Improved back on the level this term, winning for the third time in his last 4 starts when forging clear of 2 next-time-out winners at Thirsk (1½m) last month. Seemed to stay 2m on penultimate start. Still looks well treated even after a further 6 lb rise.
Has won four of his last seven including at Thirsk latest; big player again back up to 2m.

2nd (8) Baez (4.5/1 +0%)
Baez

4.5
4.5/1(+0%)
(8) Baez 4.5/1, Still a maiden but she has been running creditably for her new yard, including when third over 13f at Ayr last time. Likely to be in the shake-up again.
13-race maiden but she's posted three solid efforts for her new yard; in the mix again.
7
3rd (7) Idilico (11/1 -10%)
Idilico

11
11/1(-10%)
(7) Idilico 11/1, Fit from hurdling, beaten 9 lengths when second of 5 over C&D (good to soft) on return to the Flat 59 days ago.
Remote second back on the Flat over C&D last time and he needs to build on that.
1
4th (1) Yorkindness (4/1 -14%)
Yorkindness

4
4/1(-14%)
(1) Yorkindness 4/1, Career best when winning easily over 17f at Pontefract but that was a weak 4-runner race and she was well held under a penalty at Lingfield a week later, not for the first time racing too keenly for her own good. Bounce back needed.
Won by 5l at Pontefract (2m1f) last month but he flopped when favourite last time; risky.
3
5th (3) Excelcius (11/1 +45%)
Excelcius

11
11/1(+45%)
(3) Excelcius 11/1, Flat/hurdle winner in Ireland for Thomas Mullins but has failed to make a significant impact over hurdles for current yard in Britain. Remains to be seen whether a return to the Flat sparks an upturn in his fortunes.
Unplaced in all seven runs for current yard and has something to prove back on the Flat.
2
6th (2) Wontgetfooledagen (150/1 -275%)
Wontgetfooledagen

150
150/1(-275%)
(2) Wontgetfooledagen 150/1, Hurdle/Flat winner in Sweden but a long way behind Robert Johnson at Thirsk last month on his first outing for Tracy Waggott.
Ex-Swedish 7yo who needs to turn things around on his step back up in trip.
5
7th (5) Belle Of Annandale (5.5/1 +15%)
Belle Of Annandale

5.5
5.5/1(+15%)
(5) Belle Of Annandale 5.5/1, Still a maiden following 17 attempts but she has been placed on 9 occasions, running creditably again when third over 12.5f here 10 days ago. Likely to be in the mix if her stamina holds up in trip.
4yo who is in good form but she's still a maiden after 17 runs and is untried beyond 1m5f.
6
8th (6) Red Missile (25/1 +24%)
Red Missile

25
25/1(+24%)
(6) Red Missile 25/1, Course Flat and hurdle winner but lost his way over jumps this spring and fared no better back on the level at Ayr last month.
Pulled up in last three hurdle runs and he struggled again back on the Flat last time.
LTO Selection:

19:30 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Robert Johnson, who has won three of his last four starts, is likely to go well again despite creeping up in the ratings, while Yorkindness also enters calculations. However, the one that appeals most is the improving BAEZ, who seems to be flourishing since being upped in trip. The four-year-old gets weight from all of her rivals and has plenty to offer on these terms.

ROBERT JOHNSON has had the form of last month's Thirsk success strongly boosted and half of his 6 lb rise is offset by Billy Loughnane's claim so he looks good for a fourth win in his last 5 starts. Baez and Belle of Annandale might be the pair to give him most to do.

Preference is for ROBERT JOHNSON (nap), who has won three of his last four and is open to more progress on this step back up to 2m.

Primo's Comet

7.5

(7) Primo's Comet 7.5/1, 6-time C&D winner. Run best excused when fifth of 11 in handicap at this C&D (good, 5/2) 10 days ago, never nearer after hampered early. Cheekpieces back on. Can give another good account.
Six-time C&D winner but losing run is up to 18 and was never involved here last time.

Mereside Angel

4.5
4.5/1(+18%)
(2) Mereside Angel 4.5/1, Latest win at Ayr in June. Possibly unsuited by conditions when fifth of 8 in handicap (3/1) at Thirsk (5f, soft) 13 days ago. Races from 1 lb higher here and others make more appeal.
Ayr win last month and the soft ground may have blunted his weapons last time; dangerous.
4
3rd (4) Ecclesiastical (0.83/1 +25%)
Ecclesiastical

0.83
0.83/1(+25%)
(4) Ecclesiastical 0.83/1, Well-backed 7/4, followed up from Ripon in similarly impressive fashion when winning 12-runner handicap at Chester (5.1f, good) 3 days ago. Carries 5 lb penalty and still very well treated on the best of his form, he's one to side with again.
Made it 2-3 for current yard with easy win at Chester on Friday; respected under penalty.
5
4th (5) Hard Nut (20/1 +29%)
Hard Nut

20
20/1(+29%)
(5) Hard Nut 20/1, 50/1, shaped with some encouragement after 9 months off when fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago. Task is building on that effort.
Both wins came as a 2yo in 2019 and has generally struggled for current yard; opposable.
1
5th (1) Texas Man (11/1 +21%)
Texas Man

11
11/1(+21%)
(1) Texas Man 11/1, 16/1, again ran below form when sixth of 7 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good to soft) 6 weeks ago. First run for yard after leaving Paul Midgley. Down in grade bit tough to support on recent evidence.
On dangerous mark but he's lost his way and has plenty to prove for new yard.
3
6th (3) Cinque Verde (5.5/1 -38%)
Cinque Verde

5.5
5.5/1(-38%)
(3) Cinque Verde 5.5/1, Blinkered for 1st time, career best when winning 6-runner handicap at Wolverhampton (5.1f, 4/1) 7 days ago. Carries 6 lb penalty and holds leading claims provided this headgear works just as well second time up.
Won by 4l at Wolverhampton and has strong claims if she can match that form back on turf.
LTO Selection:

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

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

CINQUE VERDE appeared a different proposition in first-time blinkers at Wolverhampton last Monday and a 6lb penalty may not be enough to prevent Karl Burke's filly from completing a quick-fire double. Ecclesiastical is bidding for a hat-trick, but the six-year-old will find life tougher now 9lb higher than his recent success at Chester. With that in mind, Glory Hallelujah may emerge as a bigger threat after running with more promise in fourth place at Chepstow a week ago.

This looks to concern the last-time-out winners ECCLESIASTICAL and Cinque Verde, with preference for the former as he's still very well treated on the best of his form. He can bring up the hat-trick at the expense of Karl Burke's filly, who was rejuvenated by first-time blinkers when opening her account last time and would be a serious danger if that headgear has a similar effect. Primo's Comet looks best of the rest.

Cinque Verde and ECCLESIASTICAL both look well treated under penalties for their wins last week and the vote goes to the latter.

(5) Monhammer 3/1, C&D winner. 15/2, did well under circumstances when third of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good) 10 days ago, short of room from 3f out. Can give another good account.
Had a near-miss at Ayr before a creditable third over C&D last time; should go well again.

Rory

(1) Rory 3/1, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. Not ideally placed when fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (1m, firm, 5/1) 20 days ago, though hung left from 2f out. Capable of getting involved if on a going day.
Versatile type who has had several close calls at 7f/1m this season; in the mix.

(6) Merricourt 5.5/1, Course winner. Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. 9/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at this course (1m, good) 10 days ago, needing stronger gallop. Will need everything to drop right back down in trip.
Two seconds over C&D this term but was quiet here last time and losing run is mounting up.
8
4th (8) Oriental Lilly (40/1 -150%)
Oriental Lilly

40
40/1(-150%)
(8) Oriental Lilly 40/1, Twenty-six runs since last win in 2021. 150/1 and blinkered for 1st time, long way out of weights when last of 11 in handicap at Ayr (13.1f, firm) 9 days ago. Drop back in grade/trip not enough to tempt.
Last win was 20 months ago and has been out of sorts in her last five runs.
3
5th (3) Gunnerside (6/1 +25%)
Gunnerside

6

(3) Gunnerside 6/1, Has scored twice this year, with his latest success at this C&D in May. However, well below form when sixth of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, good to soft, 6/1) 31 days ago. Could bounce back at this venue.
Two wins this season, including over C&D, but his form slumped at Carlisle last time.

One Of Our Own

8

(7) One Of Our Own 8/1, Continued in good heart when third of 8 in handicap at Carlisle (6.9f, soft, 9/1) 14 days ago. More needed if she's to break her duck, though.
0-12 but she's been generally consistent and was placed last time; shouldn't be far away.
2
7th (2) Ahamoment (4/1 -78%)
Ahamoment

4
4/1(-78%)
(2) Ahamoment 4/1, Won at this C&D in June before following up in 9-runner handicap (9/2) at Ayr (7.2f, firm) 20 days ago, rallying to lead again final strides. The one to beat in his hat-trick bid.
Has won over C&D and at Ayr last twice and he battled well last time; key player.
LTO Selection:

20:30 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Ahamoment showed a willing attitude when rallying to complete a brace at Ayr last month and the four-year-old cannot be underestimated off only 3lb higher. Preference, however, is for SPARKLE IN HIS EYE, who has only been nudged up 1lb in the ratings for his runner-up effort over C&D ten days ago and a first success of the season could be imminent. Monhammer was behind the selection in third on that occasion and also enters calculations.

AHAMOMENT showed improved form when getting off the mark at this C&D in June before displaying a likeable attitude when scoring again at Ayr 10 days later. He can continue his progress to complete the hat-trick. Sparkle In His Eye ran well when second here last time and could be the main danger, with Monhammer completing the shortlist.

It might be worth siding with SPARKLE IN HIS EYE who won this last year and returned to form with a close second over C&D ten days ago.

Won over C&D last month and he had an excuse in a muddling race last time; not ruled out.

Made it 2-5 when landing a 1m handicap at Haydock last time; big player up 4lb.

4yo who looks weighted near his best and was well below form last time; others preferred.
LTO Selection:

21:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Star Shield did well to overcome a troubled passage when triumphant at Wetherby last month and, with the second winning since, David O'Meara's charge isn't one to take lightly off only 2lb higher here. Nevertheless, FINBAR'S LAD's beating of subsequent winner Roman Dynasty at Haydock in June is arguably stronger form and he edges the vote, with a 4lb rise looking lenient. Gometra Ginty's mark continues to slide and she can chase that duo home.

The vote goes to YAASER, who put together a string of decent efforts in defeat prior to fluffing his lines at the start at Doncaster. The 5-y-o is now below his last winning mark and could be ready to strike. Finbar's Lad didn't show much on his reappearance in May but subsequently hit the target at Haydock and he is feared most ahead of the in-form Star Shield and Gometra Ginty.

This is a tight call between the two last-time-out winners but FINBAR'S LAD gets the vote ahead of Star Shield

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.

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.
