14:30 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

BUFORD has proven stamina and looks the one to be on now he reverts to turf after finishing third in a similar race at Wolverhampton last time. Odd Venture is also considered as he produced his best effort for a while when finishing a close-up third at Beverley last month. Of the others, course winner Iolani and Spirit Of Ash are expected to make their presence felt.

BRAES OF DOUNE gained his breakthrough success at Ayr last time and with that form working out well he is fancied to follow up with his stamina also proven over this longer trip. Spirit of Ash could emerge as the chief threat, especially if not giving away too much ground at the start this time, with the in-form Odd Venture another who should be in the mix.

Two good efforts from SPIRIT OF ASH preceded her latest start when she was favourite but missed the kick. She's given another chance.

15:05 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ELUSIVE EMPIRE sets the standard on the official ratings and has an outstanding chance here. Having been allotted a rating of 77 after going close in a novice at Salisbury 10 days ago, it is noteworthy that he is kept to maiden company and this looks a good piece of placement by Archie Watson. Initio won't need to be out of the ordinary to have an impact on his racecourse bow, while Capital Guarantee is also noted on debut for David O'Meara.

ELUSIVE EMPIRE took a big step forward when runner-up at Salisbury last time and looks the way to go here with further progress on the cards from Archie Watson's son of Territories. Ex-Irish Capital Guarantee has the form to play a big part too if hitting the ground running for his new yard. Newcomer Initio is another to consider if the market speaks in his favour.

The most likely winner is ELUSIVE EMPIRE who finished within 2l of a promising winner at Salisbury.

15:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ASCOT ADVENTURE has dropped to a competitive mark and, having shown steady improvement since joining his current yard, he is an appealing option. He appeared to find things happening a stride too quickly near the finish in a deeper race over 6f at York 10 days ago and may find this trip/level is more to his liking. Yaaser is an old rival of the selection and commands respect off a handy mark, while Thirsk winner Lilikoi is also noted.

This is the first time ASCOT ADVENTURE has ever been eligible for a Class 5 handicap and he's selected to take advantage of the drop in grade. Last-time-out Thirsk scorer Lilikoi is feared most ahead of Gone, who has been freshened up since her busy spell in June.

Gone could be all the better for a break but ASCOT ADVENTURE (nap) is a winner waiting to happen off his reduced mark.

Travel Candy (winner) had Tees Douge (third) behind him at Catterick earlier this month, but a 2lb swing in the weights could see the latter reverse that form. Tongue-tied ahead of his nursery debut, it would be no surprise to see Moyola take a step forward, while Torvar is also noted. However, preference is for INDICATION SPIRIT. He was able to build on a promising debut effort when winning over C&D 20 days ago, and there should be more to come.

This is a competitive nursery. INDICATION SPIRIT should have more to come on the back of her C&D maiden success and gets the nod. The horse who split Travel Candy and Tees Douge when they were first and third in a Catterick nursery earlier in the month won comfortably at Bath last week so that form looks solid and they should go well again. Torvar looks capable of better and is another to consider.

If breaking better than at Catterick then TEES DOUGE might well reverse placings with Travel Candy.

16:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

LOCH CARRON travelled strongly into contention at Chelmsford over 6f, before weakening late on. The fact she was pitched into Listed company the start prior to that suggests she is held in some regard, so this drop in trip could see her to greater effect. Castan has been largely consistent in recent starts and must go on the shortlist. Others to note include Zuffolo and Mereside Angel.

LOCH CARRON is unexposed compared to most and shaped as if a drop back to this trip would suit when sixth at Chelmsford last time, so she gets the marginal vote ahead of Dandy Dinmont, who was better than the result in a stronger contest at York 11 days ago. Aconcagua Mountain is also of interest.

An open sprint may go to DANDY DINMONT who is accustomed to competing in better races than this.

BARROLO came up just short as he went in search for the hat-trick at Catterick last time but, returned to further, this looks an ideal opportunity for the Havana Grey gelding to regain the winning thread. Cuban Rock is feared most raised 4lb for his recent course success, while first-time cheekpieces could elicit some improvement from the Liam Bailey-trained Keeponbelieving.

BARROLO is going the right way and promises to be suited by the longer trip, so he's preferred to Cuban Rock, who opened his account at this course last time. Indication Rocks is another one to consider returning to the Flat.

Jim Goldie's CUBAN ROCK beat an in-form rival here last time and is taken to follow up at the expense of Barrolo.

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.
