1st (4) Bulls Aye (9/1 +0%)
Bulls Aye

9
9/1(+0%)
(4) Bulls Aye 9/1, Unreliable individual. Course winner. Below-form fifth of 8 in handicap at this course (1m, soft, 7/1) 29 days ago, never a threat after a slow start.
Ground too soft last time; previous run on good encouraging; hard to win with.

Graces Quest

4

(5) Graces Quest 4/1, Course winner. Operating below her best recently but is well handicapped if staging a revival.
She's very hit and miss and it's been more miss of late.

15/8(-36%)
(3) Luna Magic 15/8, A regular in these events under Brodie Hampson. Won over 1¼m at Chepstow in June and arrives on the back of near misses at Salisbury and Wolverhampton. Bold bid looks assured.
Running well again and needs a second look for regular partner Brodie Hampson.

4th (1) Just Hiss (6/1 +0%)
Just Hiss

6
6/1(+0%)
(1) Just Hiss 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Pontefract in August. Respectable seventh of 11 in handicap at Catterick (1½m, good) 56 days ago. Down in trip. Should be competitive.
Below par latest but usually consistent and he goes well for Thomas Easterby.
7
5th (7) Chinese Spirit (13/2 +19%)
Chinese Spirit

6.5
13/2(+19%)
(7) Chinese Spirit 13/2, C&D winner in August and remained in form since, beaten only 2½ lengths when seventh of 13 at Ayr (1m, good to soft) 24 days ago. Thereabouts.
Only midfield at Ayr's big meeting last time but usually gives his running.
2
6th (2) Purple Gown (6/1 +33%)
Purple Gown

6
6/1(+33%)
(2) Purple Gown 6/1, Finally came good for Jim Bolger at Leopardstown (1m) in April. Showed she can make an impact from her current mark when second at Hamilton last month but has run poorly at Thirsk since. Tongue strap reached for on the back of that.
Only three runs for this yard, the standout one being his close second at Hamilton.
6
7th (6) True Nation (12/1 -9%)
True Nation

12
12/1(-9%)
(6) True Nation 12/1, Modest form. Down the field on her 1¼m Beverley handicap debut 20 days ago but it's possible she was unsuited by heavy ground and she's much less exposed than the rest of these.
She went off 50-1 for her handicap debut at Beverley (1m2f, soft) and ran accordingly.
8
8th (8) My Boy Teddy (40/1 -60%)
My Boy Teddy

40
40/1(-60%)
(8) My Boy Teddy 40/1, Poor form at best, including down the field in a pair of 1m handicaps since joining this yard. A first-time tongue tie needs to spark improvement.
Hasn't shown much at all in his seven defeats, the last two following a change of stable.
LTO Selection:

14:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 9f Race Class Flow

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

Connections of LUNA MAGIC will have been cursing their luck after seeing the mare being beaten a neck in consecutive starts. This doesn't look the most competitive race, though, and it would be no surprise to see her get back in the winning groove. Just Hiss had been running to a consistent level prior to his below-par Catterick run and he must firmly enter the reckoning today, while Chinese Spirit heads the remainder.

If LUNA MAGIC is in the same form as when going close at Salisbury and Wolverhampton on her last 2 starts she stands a good chance of resuming winning ways. Chinese Spirit has been pretty reliable of late and is feared most back at the scene of his win in August. Just Hiss is another more than capable of making his presence felt at this level.

Thomas Easterby usually gets a good tune out of JUST HISS and last time was his first real blip since May.

Edge Of Darkness

0.62
0.62/1(-9%)
(2) Edge Of Darkness 0.62/1, Pretty useful 3-y-o who completed a hat-trick over this trip this summer. Better than ever when a close second in a 1¾m Redcar handicap 9 days ago and he's the one to beat down in grade.
Went close in recent Redcar handicap and holds very strong claims now down in grade.

Achnamara

12
12/1(-140%)
(1) Achnamara 12/1, Useful earlier in his career. Recent efforts don't suggest he's capable of that level nowadays but he's still good enough to make an impact in a seller.
Useful form as recently as last October but has struggled since; something to prove.
3
3rd (3) Skilled Warrior (3.33/1 -11%)
Skilled Warrior

3.33
3.33/1(-11%)
(3) Skilled Warrior 3.33/1, Struck on his 1m Newcastle reappearance in April but has been well below that form since. His stamina has to be taken on trust too (well held previous attempt at 1½m) but this is a big drop in class.
Third in 1m2f handicap at Redcar latest; can pose a threat if seeing out the trip.

Glowing Flame

4.5
4.5/1(+63%)
(6) Glowing Flame 4.5/1, Sent off at 22/1 when refusing to race on his 1m Nottingham debut in August. Connections waste no time dropping him into a seller over a much longer trip. Hood also added.
22-1 when refusing to race on debut at Nottingham in August; probably best watched.

Beauty Blaze

66
66/1(+0%)
(5) Beauty Blaze 66/1, Pulled up in 2 juvenile hurdles ahead of this switch to the Flat with a visor added.
Has a useful Flat pedigree but he was pulled up in juvenile hurdles on first two starts.

Eternal Sunshine

150

(7) Eternal Sunshine 150/1, Remote fourth of 5 on her 5f course debut last month. Significantly up in trip now.
20-1 when well-beaten fourth of five over 5f here on debut; others are preferred.
4
7th (4) Big Hamish (125/1 -25%)
Big Hamish

125
125/1(-25%)
(4) Big Hamish 125/1, Tailed off over 1m and 6f this summer. Can't make a case for.
Tailed off at 150-1 on both starts (1m/6f).
LTO Selection:

14:35 Musselburgh Seller (Class 4) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Achnamara sets the standard with an official rating of 87, but the son of Kodiac has been largely out of form under both codes recently and preference is for EDGE OF DARKNESS. Charlie Johnston's charge receives 3lb from the former and his recent Redcar second would suggest he is the one to beat now eased into a seller. Skilled Warrior is not without a chance, but the remainder would need significant improvement.

This should concern the top 3 in the weights. EDGE OF DARKNESS has less to prove than former stablemate Achnamara and Grant Tuer's Skilled Warrior so he's the selection.

The 3yo EDGE OF DARKNESS went close in a handicap at Redcar nine days ago and this looks an excellent opportunity.

(8) Albegone 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Catterick in September. 15/2, ninth of 13 in handicap at Redcar (5f, good) 9 days ago, weakening final 1f. Ease in class a plus but others appeal more for win purposes.
Two wins at Catterick this August and September but below par the last twice.

Le Beau Garcon

3.5
3.5/1(+22%)
(2) Le Beau Garcon 3.5/1, Knocked on the door on several occasions this term, including when third of 16 in handicap at Thirsk (5f) in August, not helped by making his effort away from the first 2. Took strong hold and weakened out of things over 6f on AW latest but no surprise to see a better showing returned to 5f.
Down the field in these blinkers over 6f latest but the return to 5f could be a firm plus.
7
3rd (7) Jojo Rabbit (14/1 +22%)
Jojo Rabbit

14
14/1(+22%)
(7) Jojo Rabbit 14/1, Losing run is mounting up but he did produce best effort of the campaign when runner-up at Catterick (5f) last month. Not scaled same heights either start since though, and he is the type that needs everything to drop right.
Needs to produce more than the last twice but promising signs previously & not discounted.
3
4th (3) Jordan Electrics (3.5/1 +30%)
Jordan Electrics

3.5
3.5/1(+30%)
(3) Jordan Electrics 3.5/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 11 runs this year, the latest at Carlisle (5f) in September. 22/1, respectable third of 20 in Ayr Bronze Cup at Ayr (6f, good to soft) 24 days ago, unlucky not to finish closer. Expected to feature again in present groove.
Three 5f wins this year and has continued in fine form the last twice; thereabouts.
4
5th (4) Star Of Lady M (17/2 +6%)
Star Of Lady M

8.5
17/2(+6%)
(4) Star Of Lady M 17/2, C&D winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2022. Eighth of 9 in handicap (10/1) at Beverley (5f, heavy) 26 days ago, weakening final 1f. Others arrive with more pressing claims despite easing mark.
On a dangerous mark on a couple of placed runs this summer but well beaten the last twice.
5
6th (5) Havagomecca (18/1 -100%)
Havagomecca

18
18/1(-100%)
(5) Havagomecca 18/1, C&D winner. 6¼ lengths fifth of 6 to Albegone in handicap (6/1) at Catterick (5f, soft) 34 days ago. Given a chance by the assessor if return to this venue has positive effect (won this race from 4 lb higher 12 months ago).
Patchy form on last few runs but she's on a reduced mark and is 2-4 here; not written off.
10
7th (10) Sixcor (20/1 -100%)
Sixcor

(10) Sixcor 20/1, C&D winner. 10/1, creditable 2¼ lengths third of 20 to Aconcagua Mountain in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to soft) 25 days ago, keeping on final 1f.
Likes it here and was a good third of 20 at Ayr last month; he's one to consider.
6
8th (6) Sugar Baby (5/1 +9%)
Sugar Baby

5
5/1(+9%)
(6) Sugar Baby 5/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Thirsk in June. Seventh of 10 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 13/2) 14 days ago, ridden 2f out and fading. May be sharper with that run under his belt and this sort of mark certainly not beyond him.
Not at the top of his game the last twice but progressive previously and could bounce back.
1
9th (1) Vadamiah (6/1 -100%)
Vadamiah

6
6/1(-100%)
(1) Vadamiah 6/1, Lightly raced filly who turned in best effort of the season when second of 9 in handicap at Ripon (5f) 16 days ago, headed last ½f and no extra. On a fair mark if she can build on that here.
Front-runner who has run well over C&D and went close at Ripon recently; key player.
9
10th (9) Wee Fat Mac (18/1 -29%)
Wee Fat Mac

18
18/1(-29%)
(9) Wee Fat Mac 18/1, Latest win at Ayr (5f) in August. Not seen to best effect when fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (5f, soft, 13/2) 14 days ago, not ideally placed having missed the break. Each-way possibilities.
Won at Ayr in August and has continued to run well; might not be far away.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 5f Race Class Flow

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

In a fairly open contest, a chance can be taken on HAVAGOMECCA. Michael Dods' mare hasn't been at her best recently, but she is now 4lb lower than when landing this corresponding event 12 months ago and might be revived by the return to this venue. Jordan Electrics ran a cracker to finish fourth under a penalty in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and he rates the main danger back off his revised mark. Vadamiah should not be underestimated either.

LE BEAU GARCON was below his best over 6f at Wolverhampton on his latest outing 39 days ago, yet he'd previously been knocking firmly on the door from similar marks over the minimum trip, so he gets the narrow vote to bounce back. Jordan Electrics, Sugar Baby and Vadamiah are just a trio of others fancied to feature.

Topweight VADAMIAH (nap) ran well on her sole previous visit to Musselburgh and earns the vote on the back of her good second at Ripon.

16
16/1(-100%)
(2) Pembrokeshire 16/1, Ninth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (6f, 12/1) 10 days ago, weakening over 1f out. Mark has eased further but very best efforts to date have come over 6f.
Down the field the last twice but mark has dropped and this sharp 7f may prove ideal.

Impulsive Reaction

4.5
9/2(-13%)
(3) Impulsive Reaction 9/2, C&D winner. Blinkered for 1st time, sixth of 9 in handicap (33/1) at Haydock (8.2f, good) 65 days ago, fading. Cheekpieces now the headgear of choice and better showing not ruled out now his sights are lowered.
No threat the last twice but fair third previously and this C&D winner is not ruled out.
6
3rd (6) Without Delay (7/2 +30%)
Without Delay

3.5
7/2(+30%)
(6) Without Delay 7/2, Course winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 15/2, good third of 9 in handicap at Catterick (7f, heavy) 23 days ago. Can make presence felt.
Modest strike-rate but some good runs this season and could be in the shake-up once more.
5
4th (5) Monaadhil (11/1 -10%)
Monaadhil

11
11/1(-10%)
(5) Monaadhil 11/1, C&D winner who tends to save very best for Chelmsford nowadays, resuming winning ways at that venue in September. Respectable efforts from inflated mark both starts since and fancied to give another good account back on turf.
C&D winner who scored on AW last month; fair efforts the next twice; might not be far away.

5th (9) Willing To Please (7/2 +61%)
Willing To Please

(9) Willing To Please 7/2, Eighteen runs since last win in 2022. Respectable sixth of 12 in handicap (33/1) at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 19 days ago. Needs a couple of these to falter.
Runner-up in Ayr classified in June but fifth or sixth on each of her five starts since.

(1) Langholm 4/1, Losing run is mounting up but consistency hard to knock this term, respectable third of 7 in handicap at Catterick (6f, soft, 13/8) 23 days ago. Equally as effective at 7f and well worth considering.
Catterick regular; capable of running well elsewhere and respected given current good form.

Pallas Lord

20

(4) Pallas Lord 20/1, Fourteen runs since last win in 2022. 20/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft) 13 days ago, possibly needing the run on the back of 5 months off. Eaased further in weights but seems a more reliable proposition on AW nowadays.
On a handy mark and may have needed recent comeback run, but swift improvement required.

Flash Bulb

33
33/1(+0%)

Her mark continues to tumble but for good reason; makes second start since a wind op.
8
9th (8) Cuban Rock (7/1 +13%)
Cuban Rock

7
7/1(+13%)
(8) Cuban Rock 7/1, Course winner who dispelled series of lesser efforts when fifth of 12 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (1m) 20 days ago. Operating just 1 lb above last winning mark if he can build on that returned to turf.
Below best on last few starts but well treated on July course form; capable of a bold bid.
LTO Selection:

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Langholm has been a model of consistency over the past couple of months at Catterick and the seven-year-old is more than capable of another strong bid. Without Delay was beaten less than a length in third at Catterick last time and she is likely to be in the mix once again, but a chance is taken with MONAADHIL. A winner at Chelmsford last month, he hadn't been disgraced over C&D the time before and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for the nine-year-old.

LANGHOLM's losing run tempers enthusiasm but his consistency has been hard to knock this term, so he's given the nod stepping back up to 7f having a rare start away from Catterick. 3-y-o Cuban Rock and Without Delay are others to consider, whilst Impulsive Reaction is also worth keeping an eye on now his sights have been lowered.

This is a nowadays rare trip to somewhere other than Catterick for LANGHOLM but he's a strong candidate in view of his recent form.

(4) Rock Melody 9/1, Dual winner of 5f handicaps here this summer. Fifth of 7 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, soft, 9/1) 13 days ago, ridden under 2f out and not quicken. First-time cheekpieces may put an extra edge on her kept to this trip.

Beaten 15 times since last win in January but she's consistent and is not ruled out.
9

Biplane

50

Won two in a row in the first half of summer but hasn't shone on her three runs since.

Unraced over 7f but her 6f performances suggest this trip is well worth a go; in good form.
LTO Selection:

16:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 3 race.

MUBHIJAH clearly benefited from a change of scenery when running out a comfortable winner of a Carlisle maiden in August. The daughter of Shamardal may have benefited from that confidence booster and the switch to handicap company for the first time might yield further improvement. Glorious Angel has to be considered after her recent fourth at Ripon off a 1lb higher mark, while others to note are Rock Melody and Mersea.

MUBHIJAH deservedly opened her account in comfortable fashion on debut for Ed Walker at Carlisle 33 days ago and, from what rates a workable opening mark, she can make another bold bid from a handy draw. Mersea has been shaping as though a step up in trip is worth exploring and she's feared, with Shades of Summer another fancied to be in the shake-up.

The lightly raced 3yo SIBYL CHARM retains potential and is taken to make a winning start for Iain Jardine. Mubhijah is a danger.

(7) Cantalupo Bella 10/3, Maiden who has found some improvement in line with the step up in trip, likely she'd have benefited from a stronger gallop when creditable third of 9 in handicap at Ayr (15f, soft) 13 days ago. More interesting than most at this level. Visor on 1st time.

(1) Gift Of Raaj 16/1, Course winner. 25/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Pontefract (12f, good to soft) 18 days ago, struggling entering straight. Significantly back up in trip now but he's a bit to prove in any case.

(2) Hellenista 7/2, Fifteen runs since last win in 2022. Not seen to best effect when sixth of 14 in handicap at Nottingham (14f, heavy, 40/1) 20 days ago, nearest finish having been slowly away. Certainly not out of things from this mark if building on that down markedly in class.

(6) Cheese And Wine 50/1, Remains a maiden after 22 Flat runs. 66/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Catterick (13.9f, good) 47 days ago. Not easy to make a case for.
LTO Selection:

16:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 16f Race Class Flow

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

LADY BRACKEN (second) had Cantalupo Bella (third) and Aighear (fourth) behind over 1m7f at Ayr last time and the three-year-old could improve for this further step up in distance. Therefore, she can confirm the form from that day and go one better to shed her maiden tag. Hellenista has dropped to an appealing mark and it would be foolish to dismiss her at this level.

CANTALUPO BELLA remains less exposed than most and again ran with credit whilst shaping as if a stronger gallop would have suited ideally when third at Ayr (15f) 13 days ago. Equipped with a first-time visor, she could be the answer returned to this longer trip. Hellenista will appreciate this ease in class and along with Lady Bracken heads the dangers.

This step back up in trip could be just what KINDGIRL needs and she is taken to get off the mark. Cantalupo Bella is a threat.

Well treated on this year's best form but has struggled on his three runs for this yard.
LTO Selection:

17:10 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

HE'S AN ANGEL has run well the last twice at Newcastle, including over this distance on his penultimate start, and the son of Harry Angel is only 1lb higher than both of those efforts. He could find the required improvement to record his first career success today. Last-time-out Hamilton winner Ski Angel heads the dangers, as she only competes off a 2lb higher mark, while Doctor Mozart is also of interest sporting first-time cheekpieces.

SKI ANGEL is building up a decent record in handicaps and a 2 lb nudge for Hamilton may not prevent her going in again from a handy draw towards the rail. Sherdil really should be up to going close in a Class 6 and is second choice ahead of He's An Angel, who has been shaping up quite well but will need things to drop right if he starts slowly again.

The consistent MRS BAGERRAN likes it here and can add to her C&D win in June. The in-form He's An Angel is second choice.

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. 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.
