6	6 (6) (6/4 +20%) Star Vantage		1.5 6/4(+20%)																															(6) Star Vantage 6/4, Remains a maiden after 18 runs but he hasn't been with Rebecca Menzies for that long and has shaped encouragingly since stepped up to 3m, pulling clear of the rest when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell 13 days ago. Big player if this doesn't come too quick. 0-18 but has run really well the last twice and a breakthrough may be imminent.
3	3 (3) (4/1 +27%) Anamanda		4 4/1(+27%)																															(3) Anamanda 4/1, Fairly useful winner on the Flat in France and some promise over hurdles, finding only one too good for second time in 3 starts at Ayr (21.4f) 4 weeks back. Not discounted operating from the same mark back up in trip. 0-8 over hurdles but runner-up on two of her last three starts and could be involved.
7	7 (7) (15/2 -15%) Take A Hike		7.5 15/2(-15%)																															(7) Take A Hike 15/2, Runner-up both completed starts in Irish points. Steady improver over hurdles, best effort yet on first crack at this sort of trip when second in 10-runner Wetherby handicap 24 days ago. Feasible to think she could have more to offer as a stayer and respected. Runner-up when upped to 3m at Wetherby on second handicap start; one to consider.
5	5 (5) (8/1 +50%) Beat The Boum		8 8/1(+50%)																															(5) Beat The Boum 8/1, Lightly-raced maiden who attracted support but didn't see his race out when eighth of 16 in handicap hurdle at Hexham (23.3f) in December. Cheekpieces reached for back from a 67-day break but he does need to take a step forward. Lightly raced 6yo; has shown ability but needs to raise his game in first-time cheekpieces.
4	4 (4) (10/1 -18%) Dr Shirocco		10 10/1(-18%)																															(4) Dr Shirocco 10/1, Winless following 20 attempts over hurdles but made it win number 4 over fences here (23.6f) in November. Creditable fourth nudged up 2 lb back here 2 months ago and no great surprise to see a good showing returned to timber. 0-20 over hurdles but good record here over fences and has lower hurdle mark to work with.
2	2 (2) (11/1 -57%) Reflection Of You		11 11/1(-57%)																															(2) Reflection Of You 11/1, Won sole start in Irish points (Oct 2023) and followed up in 6-runner bumper here first time out under Rules in April. Hasn't come close to that form in 3 hurdle runs this winter but does now get a first crack at handicaps. Cheekpieces/tongue tie on/also had wind op. Betting can guide. Point/bumper winner who is open to improvement now up in trip on handicap debut.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -60%) Evenwood Sonofagun		12 12/1(-60%)																															(1) Evenwood Sonofagun 12/1, Long-standing maiden who finished a good second over C&D in November and similar form both outings since, not beaten far when sixth of 12 in handicap hurdle at Catterick (19.3f) 25 days ago. Eased 1 lb ahead of this and he's an each-way player. Longstanding maiden but some good runs of late (including C&D) and might not be far away.
8	8 (8) (16/1 +27%) Didntgotwenty		16 16/1(+27%)																															(8) Didntgotwenty 16/1, Unplaced both starts in Irish points and well held over hurdles to date. Could show more now upped in trip/sent handicapping from a very lowly mark and the betting may provide a useful guide. Well beaten in novice hurdles but this former pointer now goes up in trip on h'cap debut.

16:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

STAR VANTAGE has benefited from stepping up in trip in recent months with a string of consistent efforts and the son of Ocovango may have been found the ideal opportunity to finally shed the maiden tag. Take A Hike finished runner-up at Wetherby when tackling 3m for the first time and looks to be a threat off 2lb higher. Anamanda and Evenwood Sonofagun are others capable of being in the mix.

STAR VANTAGE hasn't been with the Rebecca Menzies' yard long and again ran well when chasing home a stablemate at Southwell 2 weeks ago. Clear of the remainder that day, he's one to be interested in from this sort of mark and earns the vote re-united with Brian Hughes. Take A Hike and Anamanda are others fancied to feature, with handicap-debutante Reflection Of You another to note, particularly if the market spoke in her favour.

The step up to a staying trip has suited STAR VANTAGE and he can break his duck. The unexposed 7yo Take A Hike could be the danger.

3	3 (3) (11/4 +0%) Cardamon Hill		2.75 11/4(+0%)																															(3) Cardamon Hill 11/4, C&D winner in November and comes here on the back of a solid third of 6 in handicap chase here (20.3f, good to soft) following month. Enters calculations eased 1 lb. Seemed to find 2m4f on the short side here on hat-trick bid but ran respectably.
4	4 (4) (11/4 +39%) Hold Onto The Line		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(4) Hold Onto The Line 11/4, Course winner who arrives in good nick, third of 10 in handicap chase here (15.8f, good to soft) 14 days ago. Significantly up in trip and not discounted. 4-8 here but not having gone much beyond 2m4f under rules asks a major question.
5	5 (5) (10/3 -67%) Jem In Em		3.333333 10/3(-67%)																															(5) Jem In Em 10/3, A fair 3m2f hurdles winner who has started well in this sphere, coming in a very good second of 7 in handicap chase at Newcastle (29.9f, good) in November. Expected to be bang there after a break. Stayed on into second at Newcastle (3m6f, good) last time, not shouting for a shorter trip.
6	6 (6) (9/2 +47%) Whosmydaddy		4.5 9/2(+47%)																															(6) Whosmydaddy 9/2, C&D winner. Not discredited for his new yard (formerly with Sandy Thomson) when third of 7 in handicap chase at Carlisle (26.1f, soft) 63 days ago. In the picture off a 2 lb lower mark. Won last February/March; revival needed after his two runs this winter, one for new yard.
1	1 (1) (9/1 -38%) Ganapathi		9 9/1(-38%)																															(1) Ganapathi 9/1, Useful hurdle/chase winner for Willie Mullins but losing run stretches back to June 2022 and he hasn't set the world alight in 6 starts for present yard. Others are preferred. No win since June 2022; while some ability remains, he does not inspire much confidence.
2	2 (2) (12/1 +25%) Red Happy		12 12/1(+25%)																															(2) Red Happy 12/1, Completed a hat-trick at Carlisle over a year ago but he has run poorly at Kelso at Hexham this winter, retried in blinkers last time. Has plenty to prove now. The backward steps on his last three starts leave him with plenty to prove.

16:30 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 4) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Following a C&D success, Cardamon Hill failed to complete a hat-trick when finishing third over an extended 2m4f here last time, but this step back up in trip might see him get closer off a 1lb lower mark. Even so, JEM IN EM looks the way to go. Lucinda Russell's seven-year-old occupied the runner-up berth in a deeper contest over 3m6f at Newcastle in November and could take full advantage of an unchanged rating. Hold Onto The Line is looks best with Brian Hughes booked.

JEM IN EM is less exposed than these over fences so can build on his very good Newcastle second last time out and gain a first win in this sphere. In-form C&D scorer Cardamon Hill rates a big danger however, while Hold Onto The Line and Whosmydaddy also need factoring into this open handicap chase.

With this trip perhaps not ideal for his chief rivals Hold Onto The Line and Jem In Em, CARDAMON HILL (nap) has a good chance.

3	3 (3) (7/4 +22%) Heart Above		1.75 7/4(+22%)																															(3) Heart Above 7/4, Progressive in handicaps in the autumn, winning at Perth and over C&D. Sure to go well again if returning from an 80-day break in similar form. Won over C&D in November when last seen; leading claims if resuming where he left off.
9	9 (9) (10/3 +49%) Milajess		3.333333 10/3(+49%)																															(9) Milajess 10/3, Remains a maiden after 23 runs but she recorded one of her best efforts for this yard when second of 10 at Sedgefield (17f, soft) 11 days ago. No match for the winner but that one scored easily again over fences earlier this week. Big player off 1 lb lower. 0-23 but runner-up at Sedgefield recently and holds each-way claims.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -7%) Trailblazer		7.5 15/2(-7%)																															(2) Trailblazer 15/2, Successful over 2m at Perth in July and arrives on the back of creditable in-frame efforts at Newcastle and Sedgefield in recent weeks. Respected with a refitted tongue tie added to his regular cheekpieces. His form has gone the wrong way, but fair efforts the last twice and has an each-way shout.
6	6 (6) (8/1 +43%) La Quarite		8 8/1(+43%)																															(6) La Quarite 8/1, Runner-up on C&D handicap debut for Iain Jardine last February but has failed to reproduce that since. Tongue tied first time. Went close over C&D last February but recent form hasn't been so encouraging.
11	11 (11) (8/1 +50%) Prospect House		8 8/1(+50%)																															(11) Prospect House 8/1, Won a Market Rasen handicap hurdle off 7 lb higher in September 2023. Rather hit and miss since but is well treated if a return to hurdles sparks a revival. Mixed form this season but the odd fair run and he's on a dangerous mark; not discounted.
8	8 (8) (10/1 +50%) Snow Dragon		10 10/1(+50%)																															(8) Snow Dragon 10/1, Has run to a barely modest level on both completed starts over hurdles but no surprise were this 4-y-o to take a step forward in handicaps. Glimmer of promise over C&D last month and this 4yo is not ruled out on handicap debut.
1	1 (1) (12/1 -50%) King Ulanda		12 12/1(-50%)																															(1) King Ulanda 12/1, Landed a gamble in Huntingdon bumper for Tom Weston last May. Hasn't translated that ability to hurdles in 3 attempts but no surprise were he to make a much bigger impact now handicapping. Bumper winner who goes handicapping off a fair mark and is open to improvement.
4	4 (4) (16/1 -33%) Jet Patrol		16 16/1(-33%)																															(4) Jet Patrol 16/1, Headstrong sort who made the frame in a maiden/novice last winter. Would have finished second in a C&D maiden in November but for a late fall but weakened into a well-held seventh in a Newcastle handicap since. Off for 2 months (has wind surgery). Soundly beaten at Newcastle but on a good mark if wind op facilitates a return to form.
12	12 (12) (25/1 -178%) Inoue		25 25/1(-178%)																															(12) Inoue 25/1, Poor maiden hurdler but his latest 2m Catterick handicap third was his best run to date. One of 2 runners for his stable. Fair third at Catterick recently but he needs a bigger performance today.
10	10 (10) (80/1 -60%) Away She Goes		80 80/1(-60%)																															(10) Away She Goes 80/1, Failed to make an impact in 2 bumpers/3 starts over hurdles for Brian Ellison last year and pulled on Ayr handicap debut for new trainer Paul Robson last month. Hard to fancy after that. Hasn't shown much and was pulled up on last month's handicap/stable debut at Ayr.
13	13 (13) (100/1 +0%) Foshan		100 100/1(+0%)																															(13) Foshan 100/1, Poor on Flat and no form over hurdles. 3 lb out of handicap. 0-17 on the Flat and 0-6 over hurdles, with very modest form; would be a shock winner.

17:00 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 16f Race Class Flow

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

HEART ABOVE justified favouritism over track and trip in November and only has a 5lb higher rating to contend with today. Dianne Sayer's seven-year-old has lots in his favour as he bid to make it three wins out of his last four starts, with his main threat possibly being Milajess, who produced a much better effort when second at Sedgefield earlier in the month. Of the remainder, Inoue makes the most appeal after his third-placed effort at Catterick last month.

MILAJESS is a long-standing maiden but she did bump into a handicap blot at Sedgefield last week and this might finally be her day. Heart Above was at the top of his game when last seen in November and heads the dangers along with Trailblazer. Handicap-newcomer King Ulanda would also be of interest if the betting vibes are strong.

This could go to JET PATROL on his first run since wind surgery. He looks to be on a handy mark on his best C&D form.

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.
