(3) Annandale 6/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021 but run best excused when seventh of 11 in handicap at Carlisle (7.8f, soft, 5/1) 16 days ago, racing very wide. Shaped well on penultimate outing and well worth another chance.
Trip a bare minimum but he's well handicapped and market support would be significant.

Little Ted

11/4(+8%)
(5) Believe Me Now 11/4, Opened her account at Ayr in August and ran at least as well when third of 9 in handicap at this C&D (good, 4/1) 18 days ago. Has to be of interest again.

16:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

LITTLE TED defeated a subsequent winner over this course and distance last time out. Tim Easterby's charge was raised just 2lb for that success and he looks to hold every chance of going in again today. Believe Me Now finished third recently when attempting to follow up on her earlier Ayr success and she might present the main threat, although Without Delay is unlikely to go down without a fight either.

ANNANDALE caught the eye finishing with running left under a hands-and-heels ride at Carlisle on his penultimate outing and, with his latest effort easily excused, he's well worth another chance. Believe Me Now and Little Ted both arrive in good nick and head the opposition.

This looks a good opportunity for BELIEVE ME NOW to gain a second win of the year after a creditable C&D third 18 days ago.

16:45 Musselburgh Maiden (Class 4) 7f Race Class Flow

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

ANTONIN DVORAK was unable to justify favouritism when finishing second over track and trip on his debut recently. Karl Burke's colt ought to be sharper for that experience, though, and he is taken to go one better with improvement on the cards. Kirkdale displayed clear promise at Haydock earlier this month and he's another who looks set to step forward, while It's Only Fun makes appeal on paper and will need monitoring in the betting ahead of his racecourse bow.

ANTONIN DVORAK couldn't justify short-priced favouritism over this C&D on debut but she still showed a fair level of ability and can go one better at the main expense of Kirkdale, who also showed promise at Haydock starting out.

Kirkdale is respected but the one to beat could be ANTONIN DVORAK whose encouraging second over C&D was predicted by the market.

Lady Roxby

1.5
6/4(+14%)
(2) Lady Roxby 6/4, Shaped quite well when sixth of 10 in maiden at Thirsk (6f, good to firm) 29 days ago, denied a clear run. Opening mark looks very workable on that evidence so she's one to take very seriously.
Bred for speed; has potential after just three runs and might be the answer here.
1
2nd (1) Jeany May (16/1 +11%)
Jeany May

16
16/1(+11%)
(1) Jeany May 16/1, No better than sixth in maiden/novice company, soon struggling when eighth of 9 in maiden at Catterick (5f, good) 17 days ago. Switch to nursery a more suitable assignment.
Out of frame in four runs to date; this is easier but she'll need to improve.

Monticristo Boy

3.5
7/2(+0%)
(4) Monticristo Boy 7/2, Firmly back on track when second of 11 in nursery (5/1) at Southwell (6.1f) 11 days ago. Drop in trip may not be ideal.
Second on nursery/AW debut at Southwell; dangerous if transferring the improvement to turf.

(3) Stat Goddess 11/1, Denied a clear run when fifth of 8 in nursery at this C&D (good) 17 days ago. Cheekpieces on first time but she's pretty exposed.
0-9 but twice second; fifth in C&D nursery last time; respected in first-time headgear.

Unmistakeable

6.5

Second over C&D 17 days ago; more miles on the clock than most but unlikely to be far away.

17:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

This could be a shootout between UNMISTAKEABLE and Monticristo Boy, both of whom arrive following creditable second-placed efforts. The former has proven herself on the turf, though, and shades preference with that in mind, while a drop from 6f doesn't look an obvious positive for the latter, having kept on late in the day last time. Lady Roxby does not look overburdened by an opening mark of 60 and she appeals most of the remainder.

LADY ROXBY brings potential to the table on this nursery debut and having shaped well at Thirsk on her final qualifying run, she could be the answer. Unmistakeable and Stat Goddess look the chief threats.

The one with the most potential could be LADY ROXBY and Bryan Smart's lightly raced filly is taken to make a winning nursery debut.

9/2(-13%)
(2) Dingwall 9/2, Winner at Ayr in July. Eighth of 9 in handicap (11/2) at Carlisle (9f, soft) 16 days ago. Significantly up in trip, which could well suit.
First and second once hooded and soft ground presumably to blame last time.

Molten Sea

7/4(+7%)
(1) Molten Sea 7/4, Backward step when fourth of 9 in maiden at Goodwood (14f, good, 7/1) 85 days ago. Makes handicap debut for top yard so could have a bigger performance in her.
Modest form but she's well bred and open to improvement now into a handicap.

(3) Mon Etoile 15/2, Another respectable effort when third of 6 in handicap at Brighton (9.9f, good) 25 days ago. Up in trip and she shapes as though she'll stay.
Now 0-14 but placed plenty of times and going beyond 1m2f might trigger something.

5/1(+29%)
(6) Liberty Looming 5/1, 10/1, first run since leaving J. S. Bolger when eighth of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good) 18 days ago, short of room.
Modest maiden for Jim Bolger and beat only two home over C&D on stable debut.

Eight-race maiden who was all over the shop trip-wise for former yard (7f-1m6f).
4
6th (4) Lady Phoebe (7/1 -110%)
Lady Phoebe

7
7/1(-110%)

Second at Hamilton and cheekpieces now added following a lesser next run.

Stretch

8.5
17/2(-31%)

Heavy ground an excuse last time, though handicap debut on AW wasn't that encouraging.

17:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Newmarket trainer William Haggas has an excellent strike-rate at this venue and MOLTEN SEA is expected to improve now handicapping. The daughter of Too Darn Hot failed to see out the 1m6f trip in maiden company at Goodwood in June but a bold bid is anticipated at this lowly level. Lady Phoebe returns to this shorter distance with a shout having gone close at Hamilton on her penultimate start, while Stretch remains open to improvement and is preferred to the more exposed Mon Etoile.

MOLTEN SEA surely has more to come in handicaps for her leading stable so she can find the requisite improvement needed to defy this mark. Dingwall could relish this trip so is a threat, along with Lady Phoebe.

It will be disappointing should the well-bred MOLTEN SEA not be able to raise her profile now handicapping at this lowly level.

18:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 18f Race Class Flow

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

KNIGHTS AFFAIR continued his good progress when scoring at Redcar last time with plenty left in the tank. The four-year-old won over 2m at this track back in July and this extra distance should hold no fears for David O'Meara's inmate. Yorkindness bounced back to form when just missing out over course and distance last time and Show No Fear was less than a length away in third. Bringbackmemories returns to this lower grade with a chance too.

KNIGHTS AFFAIR possesses plenty of physical scope and is a stayer to keep on the right side of on the back of his easy win at Redcar 3 weeks ago. Marbuzet was behind the selection that day but this stiffer test should play more to his strengths, while Robert Johnson is back down in class having not been disgraced in handicaps at Glorious Goodwood and York's Ebor meeting.

The progressive Knights Affair is not passed over at all easily but slight preference is for the proven stamina of YORKINDNESS.

18:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CLASINA made a pleasing start to life in handicaps when finishing a close-up third over 7f at Haydock last week on just her second start for this stable. Upped 2lb, it would be no surprise if she were able to go two places better. Ramon Di Loria found only one rival too good over 6f at Hamilton latest and a 1lb rise for that performance may not prevent another bold bid. Showtime Mahomes bounced back to form with a game victory over C&D last month and must also enter calculations.

SHOWTIME MAHOMES is taken to defy the handicapper again and make it a perfect 4-4 at Musselburgh. Unexposed 3-y-o Clasina is feared most ahead of Ramon di Loria, who has had a good spell in recent months.

If there's an unexposed one here it's probably CLASINA (nap) who nearly sprang a surprise at Haydock and could improve further.

19:18 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

HENERY HAWK would have finished a lot closer to the eventual winner had he not met trouble in running in a similar contest over this track and trip last month and, off an unchanged mark, he can gain some compensation for that luckless effort. Sound Of Iona is capable of playing a hand in a race of this nature if on a going day, while recent C&D scorer Hard Nut needs to bounce back from a mediocre effort at Southwell.

The front-running MRS BAGERRAN made a good return from an absence here recently and might prove the answer to this finale from a handy draw near the rail. Cuban Rock is back on the mark he defied at Hamilton in July and is second choice ahead of Ski Angel, who had an excuse here last time and has been cut some slack by the handicapper.

Linda Perratt runs three and HENERY HAWK, who has shown signs of a revival lately, can prove the pick of them.

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.

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.
