11:55 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

OTTIZZINI struggled in Grade 3 company at Down Royal last time but her previous form, which includes a victory at Downpatrick in May, suggests that she could be hard to beat in a race of this nature. Quaresome may prove to be the biggest threat having won over 2m1f here earlier in the year, while Lavida Adiva is the pick of the remainder.

Irish challenger OTTIZZINI was flying too high when seventh in a Down Royal Grade 3 last time but holds much the best form and can quickly resume winning ways. Both The Kalooki Kid and Lavida Adiva have better days ahead of them and appeal as the duo to chase home Stuart Crawford's fairly useful mare in that order.

The mare OTTIZZINI showed good form to win a maiden hurdle at Downpatrick in May and earns the vote now back down in grade.

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

LEAP YEAR LAD won twice on the level and the most recent of those victories came over 1m2f at Haydock in July. This is not a strong race for the grade and it would be no surprise to see Kevin Ryan's gelding make a winning hurdling debut with a clear round. Three Yorkshiremen has a similar profile to the selection and completes the shortlist along with Cofficionado.

The betting will obviously tell a tale given a couple are hurdling debutants, but preference is for THREE YORKSHIREMEN, who was a little expensive to follow for Richard Fahey but could well be up to making a winning start in this sphere for his new stable. There was enough promise in Cofficionado's hurdling debut effort, so he's put forward as the main danger, with Leap Year Lad rounding off the shortlist.

The Donald McCain-trained COFFICIONADO was a well-beaten fourth at Cartmel on his sole hurdle start but that was a warm race.

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

RESTANDBETHANKFUL struggled when out of the handicap in a better race over C&D last time, but his previous form suggest that the seven-year-old could play a leading role in this company. Garde Des Champs looks to be the biggest threat following an encouraging effort at Wetherby a month ago, while Mint Gold should not be underestimated on his return to action.

Successful over hurdles at Perth during the summer, there was enough encouragement from GARDE DES CHAMPS chase debut third at Wetherby 6 weeks ago to think he can do better in this sphere and he earns the vote to come out on top. Restandbethankful and Neigh Botha head up the dangers.

Having run well in front for a long way over 2m3f at Sedgefield recently, NEIGH BOTHA could come out on top now back down in trip.

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

NOWINITTOWINIT made her first handicap start a victorious one when beating her two rivals in comprehensive fashion at Perth when last seen in May. The daughter of Flemensfirth makes her return to the fray off a 2lb higher mark and she should have no issues with this drop in trip. The main danger is Autumn Return, who put in a solid effort to finish second over 2m at Kelso last time, while Never No Trouble is a consistent performer and isn't ruled out either.

AUTUMN RETURN shaped well at Kelso on reappearance and, back up in trip with Brian Hughes booked, she makes plenty of appeal. Nowinittowinit is an obvious danger in the hat-trick bid and Never No Trouble can't be dismissed.

With a return to this trip looking positive, topweight AUTUMN RETURN looks capable of continuing her upward curve.

Bix Beiderbecke got off the mark on only his second start over hurdles at Perth in May and he rates an interesting contender off a rating of 111 on his handicap bow. However, SCOTS POET looks the way to go, as he put in a very pleasing display to only be denied by two lengths into second over C&D in a tougher contest than this last time. Ip Up completes the shortlist off a 7lb higher mark than her victory at Fakenham.

BASHFUL has been an improved performer on the Flat this year, suggesting he could be on a good mark back hurdling from a mark in the mid-90s. Ip Up is an obvious danger on the back of last week's comfortable Fakenham success, while Perth novice winner Bix Beiderbecke is a potential improver in handicaps.

It is hard to oppose IP UP (nap), who bolted up at Fakenham recently and should be tough to beat under a 7lb penalty.

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

HALF SHOT has recorded some fair form in deeper contests and could put his mishap, when unseating his rider in the Grand Sefton at Aintree recently, behind him at this lower level. Irish raider Archies Charm has posted creditable efforts in defeat at Gowran and Down Royal in recent months and the eight-year-old may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Inis Oirr.

MAGNA SAM couldn't have enjoyed much more of an upturn than he did in a couple of outings for Alastair Ralph last term, winning here in February before an excellent fifth in the Scottish National at Ayr (shaped second best for much of the way), and he can make it 4 from 4 at this track back down in class. Half Shot looks set for another good season, while Inis Oirr remains with potential in this sphere.

One of few who don't have anything to prove is MAGNA SAM, who goes well here, when fresh and remains of interest from this mark.

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

C&D winner RICKETY GATE ran arguably his best race to date when finishing third over track and trip earlier in the month and a similar level of performance dropping in grade may suffice. Shantou Moon is entitled to improve on his reappearance fifth over 2m5f at Kelso recently, with this stiffer test of stamina expected to suit. Tristan Davidson's inmate shouldn't be underestimated, while Native Fighter and Misscarlett won't be far away either.

The Sandy Thomson stable has been showing much better signs in recent days, so THEIRSHEGOES gets the nod to build on an encouraging return at Kelso and open her account. Native Fighter hasn't won for a long time but stopped the slide at Cartmel in August and is too well handicapped to ignore. C&D winner Rickety Gate completes the shortlist.

The mare THEIRSHEGOES has laid down a marker for this and represents a trainer whose string look to be back in good form.
