5	5 (5) (Evens +50%) Golden Maverick		0 Evens(+50%)																															(5) Golden Maverick Evens, Fairly useful 5-time winner on the Flat (stays 14.5f) for Ian Williams. New connections acquired him for 100,000 gns in the autumn and value for extra when making third hurdles start a winning one at Haydock in March. Assessor may have underestimated him. Five Flat wins at 1m/1m2f in 2023; off the mark over hurdles last time; good mark; chance.
1	1 (1) (5/1 -25%) Latin Verse		5 5/1(-25%)																															(1) Latin Verse 5/1, Much improved refitted with cheekpieces on first start back with former trainer when running out an impressive winner of an 11-runner handicap at Ludlow (15.8f, heavy). Well held in a much better race at Cheltenham but that run probably best excused. Two hurdle wins, second by 19l off 10lb lower in a Ludlow h'cap; worth considering.
7	7 (7) (6/1 +57%) La Quarite		6 6/1(+57%)																															(7) La Quarite 6/1, Some promise before falling at this track on debut and easily best effort since when second on handicap debut fitted with a hood in February. Now needs to build on that. Best run so far when second here on h'cap debut (hood tried); up 6lb; may improve further.
3	3 (3) (7/1 -17%) Teorie		7 7/1(-17%)																															(3) Teorie 7/1, Fairly useful winner on Flat for Jim Bolger who overcame some sloppy jumps to run out a ready winner on his Catterick hurdle debut in December. Disappointed next time but quickly resumed winning ways back under fully-fledged rider at Southwell. Made too many mistakes in the Fred Winter. Two wins on good to soft, below-par on soft, but fair run on heavy last time; a chance.
2	2 (2) (9/1 -50%) Balboa		9 9/1(-50%)																															(2) Balboa 9/1, Fair maiden on Flat who got off the mark over hurdles at the third attempt at Chepstow in October. Has shown slightly better form in defeat since and out of his pay grade when well held in the Fred Winter last month. Chepstow winner; fair 3rd in a Listed here; pulled up in the Boodles; could bounce back.
8	8 (8) (16/1 -45%) Ruler Of The River		16 16/1(-45%)																															(8) Ruler Of The River 16/1, Just a modest maiden on the Flat in Ireland for Jack Davison but is developing into a fairly useful performer in this sphere judged on her decisive success in a Kelso maiden hurdle (16.2f, soft). Step up in trip looked against her at Southwell so that run can be ignored. 2m Kelso winner; pulled hard when last of 4 on h'cap debut (2m4f); shorter trip will suit.
6	6 (6) (33/1 -136%) Ragosina		33 33/1(-136%)																															(6) Ragosina 33/1, Flat winner who struck at the fourth time of asking over hurdles when seeing off 4 rivals in a 2½m Sedgefield mares' novice in February. Bombed out at Stratford since and now goes handicapping with a tongue tie added. 1m2f Flat winner; won over 2m4f over hurdles; headgear tried; no easy task on h'cap debut.
4	4 (4) (33/1 -313%) Rory The Cat		33 33/1(-313%)																															(4) Rory The Cat 33/1, Won pair of handicaps on the level last summer and left opening hurdles run well behind when scoring twice here around the turn of the year. Limitations exposed in listed company last time and opening mark asks for more. Both hurdles win have been here but below-par sixth here last time when Balboa was third.

17:40 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

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

Teorie (10th), Latin Verse and Balboa (both pulled up) are all likely to find this an easier assignment than they encountered in the Boodles at the Cheltenham Festival. Of the aforementioned trio, the latter appeals most based on his third here in the Scottish Triumph. However, they may be vulnerable to an improving type and GOLDEN MAVERICK fits that mould. A winner on his latest start at Haydock, the manner of that easy victory suggested he would have more to offer with his attentions now switched to handicap company. La Quarite benefited from a first-time hood when runner-up here in February and he looks capable of taking another step forward.

GOLDEN MAVERICK progressed really well on the Flat for his previous connections, and following a smooth success in juvenile company, his opening mark over hurdles looks to be lenient. Latin Verse is back in calmer waters and is feared most, with Common Acclaim also of interest at the other end of the weights.

The vote goes to GOLDEN MAVERICK, who has taken time to find his way over hurdles but looks on a fair mark for handicap debut.

5	5 (5) (4/1 +38%) Jem In Em		4 4/1(+38%)																															(5) Jem In Em 4/1, Bumper winner who confirmed previous encouragement in this sphere when scoring at Kelso in October. Respectable fourth on next 2 starts and reacted well to blinkers (travelled with more fluency) when narrowly denied over C&D 47 days ago. Big player if the blinkers work as well a second time. Back from a break and with new blinkers he went down narrowly over C&D last time out.
1	1 (1) (9/2 -50%) Curley Finger		4.5 9/2(-50%)																															(1) Curley Finger 9/2, Won this race 12 months ago and arrives in even better form this time, completing a hat trick when just clinging on at Doncaster (3m, heavy) last month. A further 5 lb rise demands more but can't rule out in his current mood. Won this last year and now seeks a four timer; it won't be easy off new mark.
4	4 (4) (11/2 +39%) Call Me Harry		5.5 11/2(+39%)																															(4) Call Me Harry 11/2, Goes well at this track (C&D scorer in November). Shaped as if still in form when fourth of 8 over C&D in February and capable of a bold show here. When behind a couple of these here last time he was let down by his jumping; can do better.
8	8 (8) (15/2 +38%) Sanosuke		7.5 15/2(+38%)																															(8) Sanosuke 15/2, Fair on the Flat in Ireland and he got off the mark in this sphere when seeing off 10 rivals over C&D in November. Good third back here in December and better than result (went without usual cheekpieces) when seventh of 15 at Ayr (3m) 4 weeks ago. The cheekpieces are back on now. Won over C&D on soft in November and a repeat of that will see him competitive.
9	9 (9) (15/2 +46%) Lincoln Burrows		7.5 15/2(+46%)																															(9) Lincoln Burrows 15/2, Justified support in first-time cheekpieces when seeing off 10 rivals at Newcastle in January but jumped poorly and always behind at Catterick since. 5 lb out of handicap. Needs to bounce back from a poor run in February and he's 5lb out of the weights.
2	2 (2) (8/1 -167%) Champ Royal		8 8/1(-167%)																															(2) Champ Royal 8/1, Made it 5 wins in only 7 starts for this yard when easily disposing of his 2 rivals over 25 at Catterick last month. 6 lb higher in a much deeper race now so he'll need a career best to keep the winning run going. Has won four of his six starts for this yard and never more impressive than last time.
7	7 (7) (8/1 -33%) Not Staying Long		8 8/1(-33%)																															(7) Not Staying Long 8/1, Left her first 3 efforts for this yard behind when making all in 3m Ayr handicap under Brian Hughes in February. Respectable fourth over a shorter trip there since. Hughes does the steering again now back at 3m. 3m winner on heavy; 2m5f on good found him out last time but still ran respectably.
3	3 (3) (10/1 -11%) Velasco		10 10/1(-11%)																															(3) Velasco 10/1, Won handicaps at Sedgefield and Doncaster (3m) in February/recently. Possibly found run coming too soon when pulled up on hat-trick attempt at Doncaster and could bounce back having been freshened up. 10lb higher than for last win but this refreshed 8yo can make his presence felt.
6	6 (6) (14/1 +50%) Cardamon Hill		14 14/1(+50%)																															(6) Cardamon Hill 14/1, Maiden hurdle winner in Ireland for Gordon Elliott. Has yet to really get going for this yard but there were better signs when third of 8 over C&D last month, although the reopposing Jem In Em was 12 lengths ahead in second. A well-held third here last time; just 1lb lower and perhaps placed at best.
11	11 (11) (66/1 +0%) Dequall		66 66/1(+0%)																															(11) Dequall 66/1, Eighteen runs since last win in 2021. Respectable third on Kelso reappearance in October but well beaten since. It's not hard to look elsewhere. Not many positives to take from recent runs and he's a long way out of the weights.

18:10 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 24f Race Class Flow

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

Once again, Curley Finger displayed a willing attitude when completing a hat-trick at Doncaster last month. The seven-year-old's desire to win isn't taken lightly, but a further 5lb rise may be enough to prevent him from following up and slight preference is for February C&D runner-up JEM IN EM. Lucinda Russell's gelding was denied by just a neck that day and he may be able to capitalise racing off the same mark. Champ Royal and Rumble B both arrive in fine fettle and they also warrant respect.

The blinkers worked well for JEM IN EM when narrowly denied over C&D last time and he might prove the answer to this competitive handicap if the headgear continues to have a positive effect. Last year's winner Curley Finger arrives at the top of his game again and is second choice ahead of Call Me Harry.

A few in-form contenders to consider and NOT STAYING LONG might be the answer now she returns to a longer trip on softer ground.

6	6 (6) (5/1 +64%) Duyfken		5 5/1(+64%)																															(6) Duyfken 5/1, Signed off last term with a win at Perth and built on pair of placed efforts this season when resuming winning ways over 2½m here in January. Turned in a rare below-par effort in first-time tongue strap at Ayr last time. Could run well if back on song, for all that he might now be too high in the weights.
5	5 (5) (5/1 +38%) Final Edgar		5 5/1(+38%)																															(5) Final Edgar 5/1, Much improved when getting off the mark in 11-runner novice at Sedgefield (16.8f, heavy) and backed that up switched to handicaps when runner-up next 2 starts. Possibilities off an unchanged mark. Doesn't have a lot in hand off his mark by the looks (up 1lb) but he should be competitive.
4	4 (4) (13/2 -8%) Cuban Cigar		6.5 13/2(-8%)																															(4) Cuban Cigar 13/2, Enhanced his good record here when scoring over 2m in November and posted another good effort here when third in a better race than this on penultimate start. Shaped as if still in good form on heavy ground at Doncaster since and not taken lightly back at this venue. Latest run wasn't his best but previous third in a strong race here gives him good chance.
2	2 (2) (15/2 -88%) Coup De Coeur		7.5 15/2(-88%)																															(2) Coup De Coeur 15/2, Pair of 17f Sedgefield wins under Brian Hughes this winter, shooting 13 lengths clear in a handicap latterly. A 7 lb rise for that looks manageable. Player. Essentially progressive; up 7lb for last time but that was fairly easy.
10	10 (10) (17/2 +23%) Beaumesnil		8.5 17/2(+23%)																															(10) Beaumesnil 17/2, Has his quirks, as shown when throwing away the win at Catterick. Made amends despite hanging badly left when ridden into a clear lead at Wetherby next time. Capable of defying a 7 lb rise but comes with risks attached. He travelled best before finishing the job off at Wetherby (2m3f, soft).
11	11 (11) (9/1 +18%) Mack The Man		9 9/1(+18%)																															(11) Mack The Man 9/1, Not as good as he was but more of an impact off much-reduced mark and in a first-time visor when runner-up at Ayr 4 weeks ago. Now needs to prove that he can build on that back up in class. The first-time visor prompted a return to form when second at Ayr; this is tougher.
7	7 (7) (9/1 -80%) Scots Poet		9 9/1(-80%)																															(7) Scots Poet 9/1, Enhanced good record here when resuming winning ways on New Year's Day (15.6f, soft), overcoming the rise in class in good style. Still on the upgrade so must enter calculations. 6lb rise for his win on New Year's Day sees him on career-high mark but possibilities.
8	8 (8) (11/1 +8%) Hartur D'oudairies		11 11/1(+8%)																															(8) Hartur D'oudairies 11/1, Fairly useful hurdler for Dan Skelton but left that yard after running poorly on chase debut/return. Pulled up back hurdling at Sedgefield next time (only run for Ben Haslam) but ran better than for a while on only his second outing for this yard when fifth at Newcastle. One to bear in mind again. Lost his way last year and there are no clear signs that he's about to turn things around.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -14%) Collingham		16 16/1(-14%)																															(3) Collingham 16/1, Has drawn a blank since winning the Scottish County here in February 2023, although he did shape as if back in better form when fifth in this year's renewal of that race. Hasn't kicked on, however. Change of headgear. This season hasn't really got going and blinkers are now turned to.
1	1 (1) (18/1 -50%) Russian Virtue		18 18/1(-50%)																															(1) Russian Virtue 18/1, Has thrived for his current yard, gaining an eighth win in 2m1f Carlisle hurdle in December. Decent effort back from a break on the Flat 2 weeks ago which should leave him spot on. Had a good winter over hurdles and a competitive recent show on the AW bodes well.
12	12 (12) (22/1 -100%) Serious Ego		22 22/1(-100%)																															(12) Serious Ego 22/1, Veteran who won back-to-back at Hexham in November. Threatening to come good soon but probably not at this speed-favouring track back up in class. Last two wins at Hexham and may need that stiffer stamina test these days.
9	9 (9) (33/1 -175%) Restandbethankful		33 33/1(-175%)																															(9) Restandbethankful 33/1, Notched second success over fences at Sedgefield in October and ran well off his lower hurdles mark when runner-up at Catterick (15.7f). Ran a stinker here next time, however. Simply never gave his running here two months ago and he's well handicapped.
13	13 (13) (40/1 -100%) The Navigator		40 40/1(-100%)																															(13) The Navigator 40/1, Has dipped in the weights but looked difficult under various codes last season and has enough to prove on return. Previous winner of this but off since October when running a quiet race at Kelso.

18:40 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 2) 17f Race Class Flow

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

SCOTS POET looked better than ever when scoring with something up his sleeve at this venue on New Year's Day. The gelded son of Yeats looks capable of defying a 6lb rise in the ratings and he edges the vote over fellow last-time-out winner Coup De Coeur. The six-year-old was quite taking on his Sedgefield romp and he should remain competitive off a 7lb higher mark, while Beaumesnil likely has more to offer in retained blinkers.

Plenty to consider with the improving SCOTS POET edging the vote at a track where he goes well. Beaumesnil and Coup de Coeur both had a bit to spare when winning last time so they head the dangers.

The selection is last year's winner CUBAN CIGAR (nap) who ran so well in the Scottish County Hurdle two runs back.

3	3 (3) (5/2 +9%) Isholo Du Vivien		2.5 5/2(+9%)																															(3) Isholo Du Vivien 5/2, Point winner who has been placed on all 3 outings in maiden/novice hurdles this winter. His opening handicap mark looks workable and he has a much less exposed profile than most of these. Goes into handicaps off a realistic mark and the longer trip should suit.
8	8 (8) (11/4 +39%) This Is Bob		2.75 11/4(+39%)																															(8) This Is Bob 11/4, Has shown he can be competitive from ahis basement mark when placed over 2m at Newcastle and Hexham in recent months. Claims if first-time cheekpieces and a longer trip help him to pull out a bit more. Could bounce back from his remote third at Hexham on this very different track.
2	2 (2) (5/1 +0%) Hattons Gardens		5 5/1(+0%)																															(2) Hattons Gardens 5/1, Modest form but his fourth over this trip at Hexham last spring shows he can be competitive from his mark. Pulled up on Kelso reappearance in November and off since. Cheekpieces and tongue tie combination worn last time discarded. Now returns from another absence but there are races in him off this mark.
6	6 (6) (5/1 +0%) Prontoanita		5 5/1(+0%)																															(6) Prontoanita 5/1, Shaped with some encouragement in a brace of bumpers but has yet to get going over hurdles, including well beaten on Perth handicap debut at the end of December. Could only consider if backed on this return from a 3-month break Fair bumper form but not progressed over hurdles and was tailed off on her handicap debut.
7	7 (7) (9/1 +44%) Not In Kansas		9 9/1(+44%)																															(7) Not In Kansas 9/1, Poor form, including well held on Perth handicap debut last May. Absent since and could only consider if backed. Unplaced all five hurdles, latterly when well beaten on handicap debut at Perth.
4	4 (4) (14/1 -17%) Agilulf		14 14/1(-17%)																															(4) Agilulf 14/1, Modest maiden who was well beaten at Perth when last seen in May. The percentage call is to look elsewhere after such a long time off. No closer than 20l in his three completed handicaps over hurdles and others appeal more.
10	10 (10) (16/1 +52%) Shoughall's Boy		16 16/1(+52%)																															(10) Shoughall's Boy 16/1, Dual Hexham winner in 2021 but has largely struggled since, pulling up on return from a year off at Hexham last month. Mostly disappointing since winning twice at Hexham in late 2021.

19:10 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 20f Race Class Flow

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

This Is Bob finished a well-beaten third in this grade over 2m at Hereford but he sports first-time cheekpieces now and takes a step back up in trip, which could eke out some improvement. However, preference is for point-to-point winner ISHOLO DU VIVIEN, who has hit the frame on each of his three hurdle starts and stepping up in distance on his handicap bow should suit. Donald McCain's six-year-old could defy his opening mark of 95 under Brian Hughes, while Misscarlett can fight it out for the minor honours on her return to this sphere.

ISHOLO DU VIVIEN looks on a workable mark for this handicap debut and Donald McCain's unexposed 6-y-o is preferred to This Is Bob in a contest where few arrive with compelling claims.

A chance is taken on HATTONS GARDENS who had excuses last time after a break and had previously run really well at Hexham.

Half-sister to 3 winners, including fairly useful French hurdler/chaser French Bird and 19f hurdle winner in France Down Under. Dam unraced. Runner-up on last of 3 starts in points (Jan 21).

19:40 Musselburgh NH Flat Race (Class 4) 17f Race Class Flow

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

REFLECTION OF YOU changed hands for a whopping 140,000 pounds in November after scoring on her only point-to-point start in good style the previous month. Lucinda Russell's five-year-old is related to plenty of winners and could make a big impression on her debut under Rules. Sagonige got up by a neck at Sedgefield on Boxing Day when making her racecourse bow and she should make a bold bid under a 7lb penalty. Any market support for Beau Della would also be interesting.

REFLECTION OF YOU cost plenty on the back of a point win and has the potential to be above-average, so she's the most appealing for all that Jewel of Windsor is another interesting recruit from that sphere.

Reflection Of You had JEWEL OF WINDSOR about 10l behind when winning her point but the selection is now with Emmet Mullins.

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.
