Florida Dreams

0.3
3/10(+67%)
(3) Florida Dreams 3/10, Doyen gelding who overcame some trouble to make it 2 from 2 in bumpers in 20-runner Grade 2 at Aintree in April. Seen to nothing like best advantage when third at Ayr on hurdles bow/return and remains a good jumps prospect.
Grade 2 bumper winner who was third on hurdle debut and holds leading claims here.

Wholeofthemoon

8
8/1(-60%)
(9) Wholeofthemoon 8/1, Showed an aptitude for hurdling when making the frame in a couple of juvenile events for Richard Hughes last winter and opened account on the Flat subsequently. Posted a respectable effort on stable debut at Chester but reportedly bled when well held returned to hurdling at Sedgefield 59 days ago.
Talented on the Flat; has shown promise over hurdles and had an excuse last time.

Muzaffar

14
14/1(-17%)
(5) Muzaffar 14/1, Fairly useful on Flat, stays 1¾m, disappointing last time. Sold from Richard Fahey 21,000 gns in October. Not taken lightly on hurdles bow.
1m6f Flat win in September; may prefer further than this but no surprise to see a good run.

Northern Cardinal

18
18/1(-13%)

Spit Spot

20
20/1(-100%)
(12) Spit Spot 20/1, Fair on Flat, stays 2m, back to best when second last time. Sold from James Fanshawe 9,000 gns later in October. Makes hurdles debut (dam 2m hurdles winner).
Two-time Flat winner; dam improved for the switch to hurdles; interesting contender.

(2) Conquer The Breeze (33/1 -106%)
Conquer The Breeze

33
33/1(-106%)
(2) Conquer The Breeze 33/1, Modest form in 2 maidens on the Flat for A. Slattery and similar form over hurdles for this yard. Plenty to find.
Has shown some ability but he looks vulnerable once more.
10
(10) Prontoanita (33/1 -65%)
Prontoanita

33
33/1(-65%)
(10) Prontoanita 33/1, Shaped with some encouragement in a brace of bumpers and was given a considerate introduction to hurdling at Hexham and Ayr. Looks one for low-grade handicaps further down the line.
Signs of promise in bumpers but unable to threaten on either hurdle start.
13
(13) Whozatgirl (33/1 -50%)
Whozatgirl

33
33/1(-50%)
(13) Whozatgirl 33/1, Modest form in 3 bumpers and similar story in 3 maiden hurdles for this stable in recent months. Looks more one for handicaps.
Soundly beaten this autumn on first two hurdle starts and plenty of improvement is needed.

Jet Patrol

40
40/1(-60%)
(4) Jet Patrol 40/1, £7,500 6-y-o, Jet Away gelding. Dam lightly raced in points. Placed twice in Irish points, pulled up last time (Oct 22).
Went close in one of his Irish maiden points and could go well on rules debut.

(11) Snow Shepherdess (66/1 -32%)
Snow Shepherdess

66
66/1(-32%)
(11) Snow Shepherdess 66/1, Half-sister to numerous Flat winners and made a sound start to her career when placed in a couple of bumpers earlier in the year. Not bred for jumping, however, and always behind at Ayr on hurdles bow 4 weeks ago.
Soundly beaten on hurdle debut but showed ability in bumpers; not ruled out each-way.
8
(8) Trailblazer (100/1 -203%)
Trailblazer

100
100/1(-203%)
(8) Trailblazer 100/1, Modest maiden on Flat, stays easy 2m, down the field in handicap last time.
Operates at a lowly level on the Flat and 0-22 in that code; probably best watched.
LTO Selection:

11:55 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Aintree Grade 2 bumper winner FLORIDA DREAMS should have learnt plenty from his opening bid over hurdles when finishing third at Ayr last month and this return to a sharper track is likely to suit the keen-going son of Doyen. Nicky Richards' inmate should take all the beating, with the main threat perhaps coming from Wholeofthemoon. The four-year-old's stamina appeared stretched by the 2m4f trip on his fifth-placed effort at Sedgefield in October and the emphasis on speed should suit here. Muzaffar may fare best of the remainder.

Grade 2 bumper winner FLORIDA DREAMS was seen to nothing like best advantage on his hurdles bow/return at Ayr and remains an exciting prospect. Wholeofthemoon is a clear next best on form, though hurdling newcomers Muzaffar and Spit Spot both showed ability on the Flat and merit respect.

This looks a good opportunity for Grade 2 bumper winner FLORIDA DREAMS to get off the mark over hurdles.

(4) Hashtag Lord (4/1 -14%)
Hashtag Lord

4
4/1(-14%)
(4) Hashtag Lord 4/1, Maiden hurdler who failed to progress switched to handicaps but offered more encouragement back from 8 months off when fourth over C&D on chasing debut last month. One to note.
Fair fourth over C&D on chase/seasonal debut and has a chance now 2lb lower.

Neigh Botha

(1) Neigh Botha 4/1, Maiden over hurdles but has offered encouragement over fences, yet to be asked for effort when chance-ending mistake 4 out here on Thursday.
Promise in these blinkers at Sedgefield but bad mistake four out was costly here yesterday.
5
(5) Jackhammer (8/1 +11%)
Jackhammer

8
8/1(+11%)
(5) Jackhammer 8/1, Winner on the Flat in June and has matched hurdles form over fences so far, fifth at Kelso last time. Doesn't appear to have anything in hand, however.
Fair fifth on last two chase starts but needs to produce something extra today.

(2) Moore Clouds (9/4 -13%)
Moore Clouds

9/4(-13%)
(2) Moore Clouds 9/4, Off the mark when making all in 7-runner handicap chase at Market Rasen (17.2f, good) in June and right back on track when third in a handicap here last time, going with enthusiasm. Drop back in trip is in her favour and she's worth chancing.
Went clear before finishing third over 2m4f here last time; drops back in trip today.
7
(7) Divas Doyen (10/1 +29%)
Divas Doyen

10
10/1(+29%)
(7) Divas Doyen 10/1, Poor maiden hurdler/chaser who was pulled up at Sedgefield on return, leaving her with something to prove.
Went very close over 2m4f here in March but the drop back in trip isn't an obvious plus.
3
(3) Crews Pitch (11/2 +0%)
Crews Pitch

5.5
11/2(+0%)
(3) Crews Pitch 11/2, Poor form over hurdles for previous stable and shaped as if better for run when only fifth in a handicap at Ludlow on chasing debut. Cheekpieces go on now.
Tailed off recently when back from long absence but yard does very well here; watch market.
LTO Selection:

12:25 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

After a heavy Sedgefield defeat, MOORE CLOUDS showed much more sparkle when third at this venue over an extended 2m4f, only wilting in the closing stages. Andrew Wilson's mare should be much happier back at this trip and is preferred to Hashtag Lord, who is entitled to build on his recent reappearance fourth here. Crews Pitch can do better now he has a Ludlow comeback under his belt, and Jackhammer isn't out of it either.

MOORE CLOUDS went through the race in good style when third here last time and the drop back to this trip should bring more out of her, so she gets the vote over Hashtag Lord and Neigh Botha.

The mare MOORE CLOUDS (nap) was third over 2m4f here last time, having been clear at one point. The drop back in trip could be ideal.

Moonlight Glory

5/2(+0%)
(1) Moonlight Glory 5/2, Made it 2-4 this season with a career best in 12-runner handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, good to soft) 8 days ago. Player under her 7 lb penalty.
Did it nicely at Newcastle last Thursday and a 7lb penalty may not stop her.

Maggie O

3.5
7/2(+0%)
(7) Maggie O 7/2, Irish point winner who got off the mark in this sphere on the back of a wind op in 11-runner handicap at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 14 days ago. Needs considering despite taking a 4 lb rise.
Won at Doncaster a fortnight ago and this unexposed 5yo could have more to offer.

(8) Lenebane 7/1, Got back on track when fifth of 11 to Maggie O in handicap hurdle at Doncaster (16.6f, good) 14 days ago. Shortlisted off the same mark.
Returned from break with an encouraging run at Doncaster and could come on for that outing.

8/1(+33%)
(5) Bridget Breeze 8/1, Made a successful start in a Kelso bumper last season and showed fair form sent hurdling subsequently. Pulled up on return/handicap debut though at Sedgefield so has something to prove now.
Pulled up on recent handicap debut but retains potential in view of last season's form.
6
(6) Evita Du Mesnil (9/1 +25%)
Evita Du Mesnil

9
9/1(+25%)
(6) Evita Du Mesnil 9/1, Won twice during 2021/22 and at least as good as ever on debut for current yard when runner-up at Kelso in October last year. However, didn't go on from that effort in her 3 subsequent outings, so others make more appeal as she returns from 12 months off.
Returns from absence but goes well fresh and has dropped to an appealing mark.
9
(9) Bella Bluesky (11/1 +56%)
Bella Bluesky

11
11/1(+56%)
(9) Bella Bluesky 11/1, It's now 11 runs since her last win in 2022 and she came in a below-form sixth of 11 in handicap hurdle at Kelso (20.9f, soft) 20 days ago. Cheekpieces are reached for now.
Good third at Kelso in October but she's struggled the next twice; cheekpieces go on.
2
(2) Karlie (13/2 +0%)
Karlie

6.5
13/2(+0%)
(2) Karlie 13/2, Failed to hit top form over fences for Michael Scudamore, fourth in handicap chase at Stratford (22.6f) when last seen out 16 months ago. Reverts to hurdles after a wind op for her new yard and can't be ruled out.
Absent since July 2022 but one to watch in the betting on her stable debut.
4
(4) Cancan (14/1 +0%)
Cancan

14
14/1(+0%)
(4) Cancan 14/1, A fair 2m winner over hurdles in 2021 but was off 19 months before being pulled up in handicap hurdle at Carlisle (17.2f, soft) 43 days ago. Others are preferred.
Pulled up on October return but may have needed it and she's on an attractive mark.
LTO Selection:

13:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

MAGGIE O opened her account at the fifth time of asking under Rules when appearing to score with something in hand at Doncaster last month. A 4lb rise for that victory may underestimate Donald McCain's mare and a double could be in the offing. Fellow last-time-out winner Moonlight Glory shouldn't be taken lightly after her cosy success at Newcastle recently and the eight-year-old rates an obvious threat under a 7lb penalty. Lenebane has the form to be involved too.

MOONLIGHT GLORY is enjoying an excellent season and can go 3-5 turned out under a 7 lb penalty for her career-best Newcastle success. Maggie O is feared most on the back of her breakthrough victory at Doncaster with Lenebane, Never No Trouble and Karlie in the mix for place purposes.

Having won with something to spare at Newcastle last Thursday, MOONLIGHT GLORY can defy a 7lb penalty and follow up.

I Am Gonna Be

2.5
5/2(-28%)
(1) I Am Gonna Be 5/2, Fairly useful bumper/hurdles winner for Michael Scudamore. Made a promising start for her new stable when 2 lengths second of 12 on 20.5f Ayr chase debut on reappearance 4 weeks ago. Leading claims with improvement likely.
Runner-up on her chase and stable debut at Ayr and could continue to progress over fences.

Warriors Story

5/1(+38%)
(6) Warriors Story 5/1, Went close over fences at Ayr last December and also second over hurdles at Kelso in April. Looked rusty back from 6 months off when well-held fourth in 3m Kelso chase last month.
Well beaten on return to action but may have needed the run and is not discounted.
4

Hold Onto The Line

4.5
9/2(+55%)
(4) Hold Onto The Line 9/2, Three wins here in 2022, including on chase debut under Brian Hughes a year ago. Last month's Ayr reappearance effort was respectable and Brian Hughes back in the saddle now but I Am Gonna Be holds him on that form.
Fair reappearance run at Ayr and well worth a second look given his record at Musselburgh.

Hermann Clermont

9
9/1(-29%)
(2) Hermann Clermont 9/1, Won twice over fences at Perth for Gordon Elliott last season. Third in Kelso handicap chases for this yard last twice but needs to find more to resume winning ways.
Third the last twice and might not be far away but others are more compelling.
5
(5) Friary Rock (11/4 -10%)
Friary Rock

2.75
11/4(-10%)
(5) Friary Rock 11/4, Back to form to take advantage of a reduced mark over 2m here last month. Remains with handicapping scope after a 4 lb rise and just as effective over this longer trip so there are reasons to be hopeful.
Staged a revival to win here last time; strong contender if backing up that performance.
3
(3) Les's Legacy (11/1 -38%)
Les's Legacy

11
11/1(-38%)
(3) Les's Legacy 11/1, Three-time hurdle winner last season. Posted a pair of good runner-up efforts in 2m Hexham handicap hurdles at the start of the summer but could only manage a well-held fifth of 6 on his recent chase debut there. May strip fitter for that first outing in 5 months but others are still preferred.
Soundly beaten on chase debut but may have needed it; well treated on his hurdle form.
LTO Selection:

13:35 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

Friary Rock needed every yard of the 2m trip here last time to get up by a length and he is likely to be in contention again here off a 4lb higher rating. However, I AM GONNA BE looks the way to go, after she returned from a 224-day break to make a highly-encouraging start for the Lucinda Russell stable when second at Ayr in early November. The six-year-old mare can improve for that chasing debut and could prove tough to beat off a 3lb higher mark. Of the remainder, Hermann Clermont makes the most appeal.

There was plenty to like about I AM GONNA BE's opening effort over fences at Ayr last month and she can be build on that now. Last-time-out course scorer Friary Rock can give Lucinda Russell's charge most to do.

Last-time-out course winner FRIARY ROCK remains on a handy mark and is taken to get the better of I Am Gonna Be.

Curley Finger

4
4/1(+50%)
(4) Curley Finger 4/1, Dual winner over timber last season (latterly over C&D) and continued in good heart during the spring. Better than he was able to show back here last time (too keen) and eased 2 lb since, so there's cause for optimism.
Hasn't shone this autumn but he's a player if rediscovering his spring form.

Her form has deteriorated this year but she's dropped to a dangerous mark.

5
(5) Kilbrainy (11/4 -22%)

(5) Kilbrainy 11/4, Got off the mark in impressive style after 4 months off in conditional jockeys' handicap at Kelso (20.9f, soft) in October. Possibly found the race coming too soon at Carlisle 11 days later and, all being well, he could have a major role to play here.
Won at Kelso in October and perhaps the heavy going didn't suit at Carlisle 11 days later.

(2) Didtheyleaveuoutto (13/2 -8%)
Didtheyleaveuoutto

6.5

(2) Didtheyleaveuoutto 13/2, Dropped in grade and with cheekpieces back on, he won for the first time over hurdles since 2018 at Cartmel (22.1f, good to soft) in July. Hasn't fired since, though, and hopes pinned on the addition of a visor helping to spark a return to form.
10yo who has been below par the last twice but comes into it on his earlier form.
7
(7) Diamond State (25/1 +0%)
Diamond State

25
25/1(+0%)
(7) Diamond State 25/1, Goes well here and he's on an attractive mark but there are no real positives to take from what he's shown in 2 starts following a wind op.
Three-time course winner who has dropped down the weights, but he's struggled this season.
LTO Selection:

14:10 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Aurora Thunder finished a distant third at Perth in September but she could take a step forward from that effort as she now competes off a 2lb lower rating. However, she may find it difficult to beat DIDTHEYLEAVEUOUTTO, who has now dropped to his last winning mark after being well-held in seventh at Kelso on his latest outing. The son of Presenting goes in a first-time visor and that could spark him back to life. Kilbrainy rates best of the rest.

AURORA THUNDER performed well enough back from a break at Perth in September to suggest that she will have every chance here off this reduced mark. There were excuses for Curley Finger over C&D last month and he is feared most ahead of Kilbrainy.

Heavy ground excuses the last performance from KILBRAINY and, now he's back on a better surface, he earns the vote.

Kept on over 2m4f on his comeback run and his last win came over C&D; in calculations.

Got up in final strides for 2m4f win here three weeks ago; could play another leading role.
LTO Selection:

14:45 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

DR SHIROCCO needed every yard of an extended 2m4f here last month when making it back-to-back victories and the step up to 3m can see Sandy Forster's gelding take another step forward. Not The Chablis is likely to appreciate the return to a longer trip and may prove the main threat, while Prince De Juilley is capable of improvement after his chasing bow at Worcester.

DR SHIROCCO took 27 attempts to get off the mark under Rules but has proved better than ever on his last 2 outings and gets the nod to complete the hat-trick. Prince de Juilley has an Irish point win under his belt and is highly respected with his chase debut now under his belt, with Not The Chablis taken to complete the 1-2-3.

The strong finish of DR SHIROCCO to win over 2m4f here last time provides optimism for this longer trip and he can land a hat-trick.

(1) Athair Mor 33/1, Brother to useful 11f-1¾m winner Glen Savage. Dam, ran twice on Flat, half-sister to fairly useful but temperamental hurdler/useful chase winner (stayed 2½m) Percussionist. Decent-enough page but a while since yard last had a bumper winner. Has had a wind op.
5,000gns yearling, £3,000 4yo; useful Flat pedigree but may be best watched.
LTO Selection:

15:20 Musselburgh NH Flat Race (Class 4) 16f Race Class Flow

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

GALLONRAY cost 75,000 euros as a store at the Tattersalls Ireland Derby sale in June 2022 and boasts a pedigree that suggests a speed test of this nature is likely to be right up his street, being related to decent 2m chaser Oh Crick. Lubenham Dream can enter calculations on his racecourse bow for Donald McCain, while others to note are Callan Queen and Chantilly Moon.

The betting will no doubt be revealing but as things stand ICE DAY, Gallonray and Holly Bird might be the three to take against the field.

Olly Murphy does well in bumpers, and at this course, and GALLONRAY gets the nod. Chantilly Moon 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.
