14:30 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

COLOCOLO showed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up at Windsor last month and as long as he manages to settle better, the son of Mohaather must hold every chance of breaking his maiden tag. Horus may have only managed fifth (and last) on his debut at Beverley but that was behind the subsequent Norfolk winner, while Harswell Dandy may have her consistency rewarded at some point, having not been outside the first three in five starts to date.

COLOCOLO holds much the best form on show so is taken to go one better than his recent Windsor second and get off the mark. Harswell Dandy and Horus can chase home Kevin Philippart de Foy's colt in that order.

The vote goes to COLOCOLO on the strength of his Windsor effort. Horus should build on his Beverley effort when highly tried.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Not beaten far in his attempt to land the double at Hamilton last time, CRYSTAL GUARD should have no issue with the slight drop back in trip and he looks the one to beat, with Mohammed Tabti taking off a valuable 5lb. Penelope's Sister did it well when getting on top late in the piece at Hamilton and she is likely to be thereabouts, along with recent Beverley second Escarpment.

PENELOPE'S SISTER took her form up a level when getting off the mark at Hamilton and can make light of a 5 lb penalty here. Beverley runner-up Escarpment is next on the list, with Crystal Guard also worthy of respect.

Realistically, the pair to concentrate on are Crystal Guard and ESCARPMENT (nap). The selection went close at Beverley last week.

15:30 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WITHOUT DELAY is in the form of her life at present and returning to a track where she won over 1m in May can see her make it three wins in her last four starts. Tracy Waggott's charge gets the vote ahead of the returning Urban Dandy and Going Underground, who has a 7lb rise to overcome for a determined success at Ayr last month. Darbucks and Pembrokeshire are entitled to be thereabouts as well.

Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and WITHOUT DELAY is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of his good recent Thirsk third. Southwell second Urban Dandy is feared most now the cheekpieces go back on, with C&D winners Pembrokeshire and Purple Martini also in the mix.

The verdict goes to PURPLE MARTINI, who runs Musselburgh well and is handicapped to have a say. Second choice is Urban Dandy.

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 9f Race Class Flow

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

The removal of headgear appeared to work the oracle for Jumeira Vision when opening his turf account at Redcar recently. However, Katie Scott's gelding isn't certain to replicate that performance and a 3lb higher rating may find him out. With that in mind, this could prove a suitable opportunity for seven-time Flat winner SHINE ON BRENDAN to add to his tally. The Son of Society Rock arrives on the back of a close-up third at Hamilton and ticks plenty of the right boxes. Fanzone also enters calculations.

SHINE ON BRENDAN is on an appealing mark, has a solid track record, and arrives on the back of a firm step in the right direction when third at Hamilton, so he gets the nod over Scarriff, who will be a big player if she's able to lead. Fanzone isn't without hope, either.

This is open but FLIGHT OF ANGELS is down in class off a career-low mark and this could be the day she gets herself back on track.

16:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

KNIGHTS AFFAIR has been knocking on the door in recent months and he should take all the beating if seeing out a first attempt over 2m. The four-year-old appears to have plenty in his favour, with his biggest danger forecast to emerge from Lord Torranaga. The Philip Kirby-trained gelding finished just under four lengths behind the selection last time and better is expected over this longer trip. Sea Master may fare best of the remainder.

KNIGHTS AFFAIR has been knocking on the door and should have no issue with the step up in trip, so he's preferred to the in-form Lord Torranaga, who doesn't look as well treated as the selection. Sea Master is a major player if he stays.

The David O'Meara-trained KNIGHTS AFFAIR continues to knock on the door and it might just open over this longer distance.

17:15 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Having slipped leaving the gates at Hamilton last week, CUBAN ROCK is best forgiven his failure to justify favouritism. Jim Goldie's string remain in fine fettle and the son of Havana Grey holds leading claims now pitched into a classified stakes contest. The in-form Ustath is rated 1lb higher than the selection and is a viable alternative, while last year's winner Golden Prosperity shouldn't be underestimated either.

This is a decidedly weak contest in which it could pay to side with USTATH given that he's the only one to arrive in form. Cuban Rock is a big threat if he can bounce back from a poor recent effort and Sound of Iona could get involved dropping back in trip.

It could be worth taking a punt on HARD NUT. Alternatives include Ustath, Jamie's Choice, and Cuban Rock.

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.
