1	3 1st (3) (11/2 +31%) Panjari		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(3) Panjari 11/2, Useful on Flat in Germany and has been very quick in getting the hang of hurdling, winning extended 2m Taunton novice and running well from a good prominent position in Cheltenham handicap in December. Let down by jumping when the headgear was left off here last time so can get back on track. German Flat form suggests he has come up a bit short as hurdler, particularly last time.
2	1 2nd (1) (11/4 +83%) Bertie's Ballet		2.75 11/4(+83%)																															(1) Bertie's Ballet 11/4, Useful dual bumper winner who, having been given a considerate introduction to hurdling after 7 months off, went one better with a fair bit more in hand than the bare margin of victory suggests at Haydock (15.6f, heavy) just over 5 weeks ago. Should have more to offer. Won two bumpers and Haydock novice hurdle; this is a much harder task but he's promising.
3	6 3rd (6) (13/2 -189%) Titanium Moon		6.5 13/2(-189%)																															(6) Titanium Moon 13/2, Failed to win in 4 outings on the Flat but on a roll over hurdles, not hard pressed to make it 4 novice wins in a row (all by wide margins) at Stratford (16.3f, good to soft) 6 months ago. Open to further improvement, he holds leading claims again if ready to roll. Mopped up in summer novice races, wide-margin wins which make her a top contender on form.
4	5 4th (5) (18/1 -13%) Whistle Stop Tour		18 18/1(-13%)																															(5) Whistle Stop Tour 18/1, Winning Irish pointer who also made a successful start over hurdles in a Hexham novice (16.2f) in October. Has failed to kick on as anticipated on both subsequent starts however, well hell on handicap debut at Haydock (18.9f, heavy) just over 6 weeks ago. Others preferred. Soundly beaten on heavy ground at Haydock last time; needs to resume progress.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 +0%) Recoup		4 4/1(+0%)																															(4) Recoup 4/1, Fairly useful Flat winner in France. Joined new yard for 55,000 gns and made the perfect start to hurdling career after 5 months in 16-runner novice at Ludlow (15.8f, soft) in October, edging ahead final 50 yds. Open to improvement, so warrants plenty of respect for a top yard. Fairly useful Flat form in France; won hurdling debut at Ludlow (2m, good to soft) October.
6th	2 6th (2) (2/1 +27%) Hypotenus		2 2/1(+27%)																															(2) Hypotenus 2/1, Wide-margin winner on first start for this yard in maiden hurdle at Gowran in September but hasn't built on that, not really suited by the way the race developed when 12½ lengths third of 6 to Risk Belle in Grade 3 at Fairyhouse a couple of months ago. This easier but must jump better. His jumping is still not that great but he's an each-way player on form.

14:25 Musselburgh Maiden Hurdle (Class 2) 16f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

TITANIUM MOON absolutely breezed through a series of challenges to register four wins on the bounce last year. Having gone well fresh in the past, the Donald McCain-trained mare still has untapped potential and, given she is favoured by the weights, could be hard to beat if picking up where she left off last summer. Irish raider Hypotenus has been highly tried since winning a maiden hurdle at Gowran Park last September but cannot be ruled out now dropped in class. Panjari completes the shortlist.

Cases can be made for most, but preference is for RECOUP, who pulled well clear with a subsequent winner on his yard/hurdling debut at Ludlow back in October and Fergal O'Brien's 5-y-o should have plenty more to offer in this sphere. Titanium Moon wasn't hard pressed to make it 4 novice wins in a row when last seen at Stratford 6 months ago, so she's put forward as the main danger, ahead of Hypotenus, who is clearly talented but needs to learn to jump better.

Ex-French Flat winner RECOUP is taken to follow up his Ludlow win. Titanium Moon and Hypotenus are feared most.

1	15 1st (15) (16/1 -33%) Curley Finger		16 16/1(-33%)																															(15) Curley Finger 16/1, C&D scorer who resumed winning ways at Newcastle (23.7f, heavy) 29 days ago, always holding on. One to consider desite being 2 lb out of the handicap. Won from the front over C&D last March and Newcastle latest; up 6lb (2lb out of handicap).
2	1 2nd (1) (4/1 +33%) Springwell Bay		4 4/1(+33%)																															(1) Springwell Bay 4/1, Scored at Cheltenham in November and not disgraced in first-time tongue strap when fourth of 10 in handicap hurdle there (24f, soft) 34 days ago. Considered. Not quite so good when upped to 3m (bred to stay well) on heavy ground on New Year's Day.
3	6 3rd (6) (28/1 -75%) Hector Javilex		28 28/1(-75%)																															(6) Hector Javilex 28/1, Made mistakes when only fourth of 5 in handicap chase at Newbury (23.4f, soft) on debut over fences 46 days ago. Not discounted switched back to hurdles. Did well last term until poor in Pertemps Final; chase debut in December wasn't a disgrace.
4	3 4th (3) (18/1 +45%) Anna Bunina		18 18/1(+45%)																															(3) Anna Bunina 18/1, It's now 11 runs since last win in 2022 and he came in only eleventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Fairyhouse (16f, soft) 63 days ago. Significantly up in trip with work to do. Well beaten on last three starts and she has never raced beyond an extended 2m4f.
5th	14 5th (14) (5/1 +50%) Imaginary Dragon		5 5/1(+50%)																															(14) Imaginary Dragon 5/1, Improved again to get off the mark in 8-runner handicap hurdle at Kelso (22.7f, heavy) 37 days ago. Ought to be in the shake-up despite taking a 7 b rise. Lightly raced; hammered his seven rivals when upped to 3m at Kelso (soft) latest; 7lb rise.
6th	11 6th (11) (50/1 -100%) Dare To Shout		50 50/1(-100%)																															(11) Dare To Shout 50/1, Last of 5 in handicap hurdle at Newcastle (16.9f, soft) 52 days ago. Significantly up in trip. Tongue strap on 1st time. Can give a good account if shrugging off latest effort. Won at Hexham (2m4f) on reappearance, before two heavy defeats; new trip and tongue-tie.
7th	13 7th (13) (6/1 -20%) Almuhit		6 6/1(-20%)																															(13) Almuhit 6/1, 9/2, first run since leaving Adrian Joyce when below form twelfth of 21 in handicap hurdle at Leopardstown (20f, heavy) 38 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces on with more required. Not straightforward but a Flat stayer who is unexposed with stamina tests over hurdles.
8th	7 8th (7) (22/1 -120%) Peking Rose		22 22/1(-120%)																															(7) Peking Rose 22/1, Posted a career best when winning 6-runner handicap hurdle (3/1) at Doncaster (19.4f, good) 64 days ago. Up in trip and well in the mix. Back from 11 months off with a narrow win; into unknown territory beyond an extended 2m4f.
9th	12 9th (12) (14/1 -40%) Noble Birth		14 14/1(-40%)																															(12) Noble Birth 14/1, Dual winner over hurdles for Gordon Elliott last year. Cheekpieces on for 1st time when solid fourth of 15 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (24f, heavy) 78 days ago, going with enthusiasm. Shortlisted. Peak efforts on good or good to soft; place chance judged on last two performances.
5	5 |F| (5) (22/1 -120%) Chinx Of Light		22 22/1(-120%)																															(5) Chinx Of Light 22/1, 33/1, hinted at a revival when seventh of 19 in handicap hurdle at Naas (19.9f, soft) 84 days ago, not knocked about. Can take a step forward. 13 months off before well held over 2m4f this autumn, but he's now back up in trip.
10th	8 10th (8) (40/1 -60%) Building Bridges		40 40/1(-60%)																															(8) Building Bridges 40/1, A dual winner this season and not disgraced when ninth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Cheltenham (19.9f, good to soft) 100 days ago. Possibilities. Won at Down Royal (2m4f) and Galway (2m6f) last summer; lesser show at Cheltenham October.
11th	9 11th (9) (9/1 +55%) Silent Revolution		9 9/1(+55%)																															(9) Silent Revolution 9/1, Had wind op/tongue strap on for 1st time when respectabe third of 6 in handicap hurdle at Newbury (20.5f, soft) 36 days ago, finding little. No surprise to see him bounce back. Questions to answer, including over new trip, but he has edged down the weights.
12th	4 12th (4) (14/1 +0%) Wakool		14 14/1(+0%)																															(4) Wakool 14/1, C&D winner who posted a solid second of 4 in handicap hurdle (5/2) at Ayr (24.3f, heavy) 33 days ago. Can go well again. Good record at this track, including second and fourth in the last two renewals of this.
2	2 |PU| (2) (4/1 +0%) Absolute Notions		4 4/1(+0%)																															(2) Absolute Notions 4/1, Irish raider who easily landed 3-runner conditions hurdle at Fairyhouse (20.5f, heavy) 89 days ago. Player now going into handicaps with few miles on the clock. Staying-on second in Grade 1 novice at Leopardstown (2m6f, yielding) on this day last year.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

Grade 1 runner-up ABSOLUTE NOTIONS' current mark of 143 may underestimate his true ability and he could have too much class on this first foray into handicap company. Smart Flat performer Almuhit catches the eye at the foot of the weights and sustained market support for Emmet Mullins' charge now upped in distance would bring the five-year-old into calculations. Springwell Bay and last-time-out winners Curley Finger and Imaginary Dragon are worthy of consideration too.

A case can be made for plenty of these but Gordon Elliott's ABSOLUTE NOTIONS appeals as a likely improver now going into handicaps so is fancied to follow up his Fairyhouse success after a break. Fellow Irish challenger Carnfunnock figures on a handy-looking mark so must enter calculations, while a solid case can also be made for Doncaster-victor Peking Rose and C&D winner Wakool.

Irish challengers Absolute Notions and ALMUHIT catch the eye in a major way. Imaginary Dragon is also shortlisted.

1	4 1st (4) (11/2 +31%) Corrigeen Rock		5.5 11/2(+31%)																															(4) Corrigeen Rock 11/2, Took another step forward when making winning return from 6 months off at Kempton (18f) in October and creditable effort when fourth in stronger company at Ascot (16.7f) since. Suited by step up in trip when second (clear of rest) over C&D 5 weeks ago and he's a player up only 1 lb. Ran on well into a good second of nine over C&D last time; more to offer at the trip.
2	2 2nd (2) (10/3 +5%) Thunder Rock		3.333333 10/3(+5%)																															(2) Thunder Rock 10/3, Four-time hurdle winner who has developed into a smart chaser, readily taking a small-field Carlisle listed event on reappearance. Failed to cope with the sterner examination of a top-level handicap at Cheltenham next time but back down in class here with headgear applied. Favourite in Cheltenham Grade 3 handicap but soon struggled with jumping; cheekpieces now.
3	7 3rd (7) (7/2 -5%) Outlaw Peter		3.5 7/2(-5%)																															(7) Outlaw Peter 7/2, Enjoyed a productive novice hurdle season, winning 3 times. Won a match race on his chase debut/reappearance at Newton Abbot in September and much improved when second at Kempton on Boxing Day. Surely has more to offer as a chaser. Second at Kempton (2m4f, good) on Boxing Day was his best show over fences; back up 3lb.
4	1 4th (1) (8/1 +0%) Tommy's Oscar		8 8/1(+0%)																															(1) Tommy's Oscar 8/1, Smart hurdler and even better over fences, winning Grade 2 at Doncaster last term. Better than ever when making a winning return at Kelso before shaping as if still in good form in a muddling Old Roan. Disappointed back over hurdles since but expected to bounce back. Has a bit more to prove judged on his few appearances under rules over this sort of trip.
5th	5 5th (5) (3/1 +14%) Petit Tonnerre		3 3/1(+14%)																															(5) Petit Tonnerre 3/1, Useful hurdler who has looked a work in progress over fences this winter, again unconvincing with his jumping back in a handicap at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago. Back up in trip now but opposable up against seasoned campaigners. Lots of useful form in defeat; first season chasing but he has to be in calculations.
6th	6 6th (6) (17/2 -42%) Frero Banbou		8.5 17/2(-42%)																															(6) Frero Banbou 17/2, Winless for over 2 years but hard to knock his consistency this term, again jumping/travelling fluently when second in a better race than this at Cheltenham (20.6f) on New Year's Day. Lost all chance with a mid-race blunder at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and worth another chance. Running with great credit this season until an early mistake cost him two weeks ago.
7th	3 7th (3) (33/1 -32%) A Wave Of The Sea		33 33/1(-32%)																															(3) A Wave Of The Sea 33/1, Useful handicap chaser for Joseph Patrick O'Brien, in frame in Galway Plate and Munster National this season. However, has failed to complete both starts for this yard so has questions to answer. Third run for new yard; on a 16-race losing sequence but a case can be made.
8	8 |PU| (8) (28/1 -75%) Arthur's Quay		28 28/1(-75%)																															(8) Arthur's Quay 28/1, Won 3 on the bounce last winter and back on the scoresheet with a decisive display at Cartmel (21.2f) in July. Followed up at Caterick 5 months later but that looked a thin handicap by 0-130 standards so has work to do up 3 lb in better race. Up another 4lb and in class but he's going great guns and is on a hat-trick.

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 2) 20f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 2 race.

TOMMY'S OSCAR was far from disgraced when fourth in the Old Roan at Aintree in late October. The son of Oscar is unexposed over this extended 2m4f trip and December's spin over hurdles at Doncaster should have put him spot on for this. Thunder Rock boasted a progressive profile prior to his latest flop at Cheltenham and the eight-year-old is feared most, ahead of an in-form Outlaw Peter.

The classy TOMMY'S OSCAR often keep better company than this and has looked better than ever over fences this season, so can defy top weight. Frero Banbou lost all chance with a bad blunder at Lingfield 2 weeks ago and remains of interest, while Corrigeen Rock surely has more to offer over this trip after his good second over C&D on New Year's Day.

In a competitive race preference is for CORRIGEEN ROCK who may be able to step up on his C&D second last time. Outlaw Peter is next.

1	3 1st (3) (7/2 +13%) Welsh Charger		3.5 7/2(+13%)																															(3) Welsh Charger 7/2, Fairly useful hurdler who enhanced good strike (3-6) when landing 9-runner Market Rasen handicap (18.6f) 6 weeks ago. Handicapper applies a little more pressure but that opened up more options trip-wise and he's one to consider. Won at Market Rasen (extended 2m2f) in his second handicap; new trip but he has potential.
2	7 2nd (7) (4/1 +33%) Lihyan		4 4/1(+33%)																															(7) Lihyan 4/1, Gained first success for present yard over C&D in December and possible he'd of won had he jumped better when ¾-length second of 8 to Duyfken back here 4 weeks ago. Mark has crept up but possibilities in present groove. Revival on last two outings for C&D win and C&D second to Duyfken; back up another 5lb.
3	6 3rd (6) (6/1 -9%) Duyfken		6 6/1(-9%)																															(6) Duyfken 6/1, Signed off last term with a win at Perth and built on pair of placed efforts this term when resuming winning ways over C&D 4 weeks ago, making all and finding extra to fend off Lihyan by ¾ length. Still unexposed at this sort of trip so not discounted from 6 lb higher mark. Progressive, upped from 2m when making all to see off Lihyan in eight-runner C&D handicap.
4	5 4th (5) (12/1 +14%) Lone Star		12 12/1(+14%)																															(5) Lone Star 12/1, Had a productive time in 2022/23, scoring 5 times (twice over C&D). Best effort of present campaign when third back here in November and testing ground probably caught her out at Aintree when last seen in December. Likely type to bounce back. Mopped up in mares' handicaps last term, including over C&D, but this season is a worry.
5th	12 5th (12) (7/1 +50%) Faithfulflyer		7 7/1(+50%)																															(12) Faithfulflyer 7/1, Had a productive first season for Sandy Thomson, scoring twice, and good third of 7 on return at Kelso in October. Lesser efforts here/Newcastle followed towards the end of last year but eased in weights and player from this mark on pick of his form if bouncing back. Respectable reappearance before two backward steps; well treated if back to his best.
6th	13 6th (13) (3/1 +40%) Impact Du Bonheur		3 3/1(+40%)																															(13) Impact Du Bonheur 3/1, Bought for €90,000 after winning the third of 3 bumper starts in France. Some promise over hurdles for new yard and he looked unsuited by the way the race developed when last of 7 on handicap debut at Sandown in December. Not one to write off for top yard with cheekpieces now enlisted. French bumper winner; well beaten all three British races, last of seven on handicap debut.
7th	11 7th (11) (50/1 -100%) Whelans Bridge		50 50/1(-100%)																															(11) Whelans Bridge 50/1, Showed ability in points and modest form over hurdles in 2022. Easy to back and dropped away quickly on belated return/handicap debut at Ayr (20.5f, soft) in December and tongue tie now reached for having undergone wind surgery. Pulled up on handicap debut (33-1) after 435 days off; had wind surgery soon afterwards.
8th	1 8th (1) (22/1 -38%) Voix Du Reve		22 22/1(-38%)																															(1) Voix Du Reve 22/1, Capitalised on a reduced mark when winning at Ayr in April and confirmed he retains plenty of zest on his first 2 starts this term, a shuddering error as he made his move ending his chance here in November. Seemingly not 100% at Aintree a month later but the assessor has given him a chance. 12yo who is 5lb lower than for Ayr win (2m4f, good) last Apri; excuses on last two runs.
9th	14 9th (14) (40/1 -21%) Diamond State		40 40/1(-21%)																															(14) Diamond State 40/1, 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. Steps back up in trip now. All his three wins have been at this track but he currently has questions to answer.
10th	4 10th (4) (50/1 -150%) Cardamon Hill		50 50/1(-150%)																															(4) Cardamon Hill 50/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Fair efforts first 2 starts in handicap chases for present yard but subsequent efforts in that sphere have been underwhelming. Returns to timber now with a bit to prove. Major backward steps last two starts; back hurdling, for the first time since last March.
11th	9 11th (9) (25/1 -108%) Les's Legacy		25 25/1(-108%)																															(9) Les's Legacy 25/1, Three-time hurdle winner last season. Hasn't quite matched that form in 2 runs over fences but step back in right direction (in first-time cheekpieces) when fourth of 8 to Duyfken in handicap hurdle at this C&D (soft) 30 days ago. Needs to build on that now. Well beaten in first-time cheekpieces behind Duyfken and Lihyan over C&D back over hurdles.
12th	10 12th (10) (14/1 -40%) Dance Thief		14 14/1(-40%)																															(10) Dance Thief 14/1, Point winner who has improved for switch to handicaps in this sphere, runner-up over this sort of trip at Carlisle before filling same spot at Ayr (18f) 46 days ago. This tougher but he remains less exposed than most. 1-7 in points; 0-6 over hurdles, taking second in handicaps (2m3f/2m2f) on last two starts.

16:05 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 4) 20f Race Class Flow

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

A step up in trip saw DUYFKEN return to the winner's enclosure over C&D last month when getting the better of Lihyan, and Nick Alexander's gelding appears to be capable of backing that performance up. The aforementioned Lihyan is expected to be in the mix once again, while others who are likely to be competitive include Welsh Charger and Sleeping Satellite.

Plenty to ponder in an interesting handicap with SLEEPING SATELLITE earning the vote. Donald McCain's 6-y-o showed improved form when runner-up at Doncaster last month, finding only another well-treated sort too strong, and this longer trip could well unlock further progress. Impact du Bonheur needs considering also for Paul Nicholls, with Welsh Charger and recent C&D 1-2 Duyfken and Lihyan completing the shortlist.

There is surely more improvement to come from last-time-out winners WELSH CHARGER (nap) and Duyfken.

5th	3 5th (3) (18/1 -29%) Apollo Nine		18 18/1(-29%)																															(3) Apollo Nine 18/1, Sea The Moon gelding.

16:35 Musselburgh NH Flat Race (Class 3) 16f Race Class Flow

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

Getagin justified favouritism when making a winning start under Rules over C&D in December and is likely to be popular once again. However, he may struggle to successfully give 4lb to WICKED THOUGHTS, who finished third at Ffos Las on his first run for Paul Nicholls, having won a point-to-point last April. The son of Mahler is expected to have come forward from that initial experience, while Kinbara Hills and Alkaid are a pair of newcomers who could make an impact.

WICKED THOUGHTS was a little underwhelming at Ffos Las 112 days ago but he's open to plenty of improvement based on his point form, so he's marginally preferred to Getagin, who has a penalty for his C&D success. Kinbara Hills is the pick of the newcomers.

Ditcheat runner WICKED THOUGHTS is given another chance. Course winner Getagin is second choice.
