1	7 1st (7) (3.5/1 +53%) Gweedore		3.5 3.5/1(+53%)																															(7) Gweedore 3.5/1, 3-time C&D winner (including this race) who enjoyed a productive 2022 gaining third success at Ayr (1m) in September. Creditable third behind re-opposing Autumn Festival on final start in October and Billy Loughnane takes off a very handy 5 lb on return (has gone well fresh).
2	1 2nd (1) (8.5/1 +6%) Spirit Of Light		8.5 8.5/1(+6%)																															(1) Spirit Of Light 8.5/1, Yet to get off the mark for this yard but latest outing when 2¾ lengths fifth of 15 to Al Dasim in Nad Al Sheba Turf Sprint at Meydan (6f, good) 5 weeks ago was up there with his best efforts. Has race fitness on his side and handy draw to work from back in a handicap.
3	10 3rd (10) (22/1 -22%) Gioia Cieca		22 22/1(-22%)																															(10) Gioia Cieca 22/1, C&D winner who produced something of a standout effort last term when fourth in 10-runner Haydock handicap (7f) 12 months ago. Well held all 5 starts thereafter but had wind op ahead of return to action and interesting what the market makes of her.
4	5 4th (5) (3.5/1 +36%) The Gatekeeper		3.5 3.5/1(+36%)																															(5) The Gatekeeper 3.5/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who made light of a 20-month absence (also gelded) when making a winning handicap debut at Newcastle (7f) in March and matched that with good fifth in Spring Mile at Doncaster last weekend. Clearly hit the ground running this term and likely he can go well again.
5th	4 5th (4) (7/1 +18%) Northern Express		7 7/1(+18%)																															(4) Northern Express 7/1, Good second from 6 lb lower mark in this race 12 months ago and progressed again thereafter, landing big-field York handicap (7f) in June. Creditable efforts in defeat thereafter and claims on return if getting the breaks.
6th	8 6th (8) (10/1 -67%) Abduction		10 10/1(-67%)																															(8) Abduction 10/1, Very bright start for this yard in the autumn, landing brace of Ayr handicaps at (7.2f) before finishing unlucky second behind re-opposing Autumn Festival over C&D on final start.
7th	2 7th (2) (12/1 +25%) Fools Rush In		12 12/1(+25%)																															(2) Fools Rush In 12/1, Likeable type who regained winning thread at Chester (7.6f) in July and run with credit on 3 of last 4 starts for Hugo Palmer last term, latterly when 1½ lengths fourth of 8 to Autumn Festival in a C&D handicap in October. Fancied to give a good account starting out for new yard.
8th	11 8th (11) (8/1 -14%) Bling On The Music		8 8/1(-14%)																															(11) Bling On The Music 8/1, Low-mileage 4-y-o who (on back of being gelded/wind op) opened his account in an 11-runner Leicester novice (7f) in October, produced to lead final 1f and forging clear. Widest draw to contend with on return but type to make his mark in handicaps.
9th	9 9th (9) (9/1 -13%) Dirtyoldtown		9 9/1(-13%)																															(9) Dirtyoldtown 9/1, Fairly useful performer on his day but he didn't prove the easiest to predict last season but he can have his reappearance effort in the Spring Mile last week overlooked (disadvantaged by the run of the race). Not one to write off given he remains low-mileage.
10th	6 10th (6) (10/1 -82%) Autumn Festival		10 10/1(-82%)																															(6) Autumn Festival 10/1, Good advert for his yard, typically determined when gaining seventh handicap success of last year when landing 8-runner C&D handicap on final outing in October. Career-high mark/wide draw to contend with on return but his attitude is a smashing attribute.
11th	12 11th (12) (33/1 +0%) Jilly Cooper		33 33/1(+0%)																															(12) Jilly Cooper 33/1, Latest win at Wolverhampton in January. Shaped better than bare result when sixth of 7 in handicap back at that venue (7.2f) 12 days ago. Still, more needed back on turf.

LTO Selection:

14:25 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 2) 7f Race Class Flow

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

Even though Gweedore is now rated 7lb higher than when winning this last year, he can confirm form with the reopposing Northern Express. AUTUMN FESTIVAL arrives on a six-timer, though, and gets the vote. He beat Abduction (second) on his latest run here and, though Jim Goldie's charge is respected now 2lb better off at the weights, the gut feeling is that the selection will improve again this year. Bling On The Music is another worthy of a market check.

ABDUCTION made a fine start for Jim Goldie in the autumn, landing back-to-back handicaps at Ayr before finishing an unlucky second behind re-opposing Autumn Festival over C&D on his final start. Evidently still on a good mark, he shades the vote to make a winning return, with Dirtyoldtown, whose Doncaster reappearance is easily overlooked, and The Gatekeeper just a couple of likely threats.

Preference is for GWEEDORE who won this race last year and the 5lb claim of the highly talented Billy Loughnane is a major plus.

15:00 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Even though Vintage Clarets disappointed over this trip at Doncaster on his latest outing in October, that was arguably the result of a long season and he can bounce back returning from a break. He is still rated 7lb above his last winning mark, though, so SILKY WILKIE is marginally preferred. A drop in trip following a tiring finish at Wolverhampton over 6f last time out looks set to suit the gelded son of Mehmas. Catch Cunningham is another to note.

THE BELL CONDUCTOR arrives on the back of a good effort and he has a fitness edge over the bulk of his rivals, so he could be the answer to this wide-open sprint handicap. Came From The Dark is one to note down in grade and it would come as no surprise were Vintage Clarets to up his game on seasonal debut.

The hold-up horse Water Of Leith a tempting option at big odds but preference is for three-time C&D winner MAKANAH.

2	10 2nd (10) (8/1 +33%) Metier		8 8/1(+33%)																															(10) Metier 8/1, Useful on the Flat in Ireland earlier in his career and has developed into a smart hurdler for this yard. Took advantage of handy mark in this sphere when winning November Handicap at Doncaster but run poorly under both codes since.

Good sixth in competitive Newmarket handicap (14f) when last seen in July and returns on a fair mark.
8th	8 8th (8) (28/1 -56%) East Asia		28 28/1(-56%)																															(8) East Asia 28/1, 8/1, fifth of 7 in handicap at Kempton (16f) 24 days ago. 11lb higher now. Difficult ask.

15:35 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 2) 14f Race Class Flow

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

A progressive stayer throughout last season, SPIRIT MIXER looks to have been found a decent opportunity on his return to action with conditions in his favour. His runner-up effort in last year's Northumberland Plate appeals as the strongest form on offer and he is preferred to course specialist Wise Eagle, and November Handicap winner Metier, who may need a bit more cut in the ground. The unexposed Good Show is of interest on his handicap debut, while Emiyn and Onesmoothoperator cannot be ruled out either.

This can go to SPIRIT MIXER, who really progressed last year and reappears off a handy mark. Wise Eagle and Pleasant Man head the list of dangers.

Such a good race would not normally be the first thought for a handicap debutant but GOOD SHOW (nap) is very much a horse to follow.

16:10 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

A chance is taken on SERGEANT WILKO, who is by a sire known for breeding sharp sprint types and his stable are no strangers to having first-time-out winners either. A costly purchase at the sales, Treasure Storm is likely to be forward on debut for the powerful Amo Racing team, while Balon D'or makes appeal on pedigree being by Kodiac out of a Requinto mare. Blue Prince can also have a say in proceedings, being one of the first progeny of multiple Group 1 winner Blue Point.

TREASURE STORM makes plenty of appeal on paper being out a sister to the French Group 1 winning sprinter Signs of Blessing and she represents connections who went close to landing the Brocklesby at Doncaster a week ago. The filly is taken to make a winning debut, with Balon d'Or and Yorkshire Terrier two of the other more likely types in the line-up.

Dominic Ffrench Davis saddled the Brocklesby runner-up last Saturday and TREASURE STORM is taken to make a winning debut.

Shade more will be needed if she's to follow up here under a penalty but again has the assistance of up-and-coming apprentice Billy Loughnane and another bold show could be on the way.
1	6 1st (6) (11/1 +31%) Monsieur Kodi		11 11/1(+31%)																															(6) Monsieur Kodi 11/1, Three wins from 9 runs last year. 14/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at Nottingham (5f, soft). Off 178 days and others are more persuasive.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/1 +50%) Black Friday		11 11/1(+50%)																															(9) Black Friday 11/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. 4/1, creditable fourth of 9 in handicap at Catterick (6f, heavy), sticking to task.

Respectable fifth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (5f, 12/1) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Capable of a bold show off current mark.

Creditable fifth of 12 in handicap (4/1) at Southwell (5f) 8 days ago, doing too much too soon. Has form on turf but evidence suggests that he's more of a force on the AW.
11th	8 11th (8) (10/1 +17%) Havagomecca		10 10/1(+17%)																															(8) Havagomecca 10/1, 33/1, won 12-runner handicap at this C&D (soft) in October by short head from Lady Lade, just holding on. Still, she's likely to find a few too good on this occasion.

14th	17 14th (17) (50/1 -52%) Global Humor		50 50/1(-52%)																															(17) Global Humor 50/1, Unreliable sort. 12/1, eleventh of 12 in handicap at this course (7.2f, soft). Off 180 days and significantly back down in trip. Others preferred.
15th	3 15th (3) (7.5/1 +32%) Le Beau Garcon		7.5 7.5/1(+32%)																															(3) Le Beau Garcon 7.5/1, Respectable eighth of 24 in handicap (25/1) at Ayr (6f, good) when last seen in September. Good second on reappearance last season here off a 1 lb higher markand place possibilities if ready to roll.
16th	2 16th (2) (40/1 -300%) Leodis Dream		40 40/1(-300%)																															(2) Leodis Dream 40/1, Resumed winning ways in a 12-runner handicap at Ripon (5f, good, 13/2) on final run of last season. Back up 6 lb and may prove vulnerable here following a 6-month break. Yard also saddles Vadamiah and James Watt.

16:45 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

The value may lie with LADY LADE, who was unlucky when narrowly denied by the reopposing Havagomecca (first) over C&D in October last year. The booking of Kevin Stott catches the eye and, off a light weight, she may have too much for recent Doncaster winner Ey Up It's Maggie, and Leodis Dream, who finished last season with a convincing success at Ripon. Black Friday and Le Beau Garcon are capable of being in the shake-up as well.

PRIMO'S COMET notched his sixth success over this C&D on his latest visit here last summer and, now 10 lb below that winning mark, he makes plenty of appeal on the back of some eye-catching recent efforts on the all-weather. Vadamiah would have been even higher on the shortlist but for being drawn widest of all and, under the circumstances, Ey Up It's Maggie, who made a winning reappearance at Doncaster last weekend, is feared most. Le Beau Garcon is also worth a second look.

Le Beau Garcon and James Watt are considered but PRIMO'S COMET should appreciate the return to this C&D.

1	4 1st (4) (6.5/1 -117%) Flylikeaneagle		6.5 6.5/1(-117%)																															(4) Flylikeaneagle 6.5/1, Course winner. Seven wins from 24 Flat runs. Four wins from 12 runs last year. Has seemingly gone sour over hurdles this winter, though, so has bit to prove despite workable mark.
2	2 2nd (2) (9/1 +0%) Tommy G		9 9/1(+0%)																															(2) Tommy G 9/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in September. Bled when tenth of 11 in handicap at this course (9f, soft, 11/2). Off 180 days. Top claimer aboard.
3	5 3rd (5) (6/1 +14%) Showmedemoney		6 6/1(+14%)																															(5) Showmedemoney 6/1, Course winner. Latest win at Newcastle in February. 6/1, ran poorly when ninth of 10 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) 32 days ago but would be in the mix if able to bounce back.
4	1 4th (1) (5/1 -82%) Judgment Call		5 5/1(-82%)																															(1) Judgment Call 5/1, Better than result when second of 12 in handicap (7/2) at this course (7.2f, soft), clear of rest despite not getting clear run. Off 180 days. Can give a good account.
5th	9 5th (9) (4/1 +78%) Our Dickie		4 4/1(+78%)																															(9) Our Dickie 4/1, Respectable third of 12 in minor event (9/4) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 9 days ago. Tongue strap/cheekpieces back on. Must improve but is still low mileage for his yard.
6th	3 6th (3) (5.5/1 +45%) Diamond Haze		5.5 5.5/1(+45%)																															(3) Diamond Haze 5.5/1, Latest win at Thirsk in May. Reportedly bled when last of 11 in handicap at Southwell (8.1f) on latest outing. Off 6 months. Others more persuasive.
7th	6 7th (6) (20/1 -122%) Ahamoment		20 20/1(-122%)																															(6) Ahamoment 20/1, Lightly-raced maiden. 12/1, respectable third of 8 in maiden at Newcastle (8f), nearest finish. Off 7 months. Less exposed than most in this field but yard's runners often need the run after an absence.
8th	8 8th (8) (10/1 +9%) Star Of St James		10 10/1(+9%)																															(8) Star Of St James 10/1, Latest win at Carlisle in August and largely held form well after, though ended season with poor effort an AW at Wolverhampton. ON reasonable mark if sharp enough after 140 days off.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 -25%) Tafsir		50 50/1(-25%)																															(10) Tafsir 50/1, Eleventh of 14 in handicap (33/1) at Newcastle (8f). Off 155 days. Out of handicap here and has plenty to find on form.

17:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Fitness has to be taken on trust with many of these and it may be worth chancing COPPER MOUNTAIN. The four-year-old ran one of her better races last time out when finishing fourth at Wolverhampton and she returns to the turf off a 1lb lower mark than her win at Wetherby in April last year. Judgment Call and Tommy G are feared most if returning at their best.

JUDGMENT CALL was a dual winner last term and ran well over 7f here on his final outing last season, so gets the nod ahead of Star of St James, who was largely consistent for the bulk of last season, and recent Newcastle winner Showmedemoney.

This could go to the reappearing STAR OF ST JAMES who was admirably consistent on turf in the second half of last year.

1	2 1st (2) (3.33/1 +17%) Beltane		3.33 3.33/1(+17%)																															(2) Beltane 3.33/1, Made more of an impact than for a while when fifth of 14 in handicap at Southwell (7.1f, 10/1) in December. Merits consideration off his career-low mark.
2	8 2nd (8) (16/1 -14%) Going Underground		16 16/1(-14%)																															(8) Going Underground 16/1, Finally off the mark at Newcastle (1m) in October. Only fourth of 7 in handicap (10/3) at the same course (12.4f) 76 days ago. Needs everything to drop right as he returns to this shorter trip.
3	7 3rd (7) (8/1 +0%) St Andrew's Castle		8 8/1(+0%)																															(7) St Andrew's Castle 8/1, Took advantage of career-low mark when winning at Newcastle (7.1f) in March. 15/8, shaped as if still in good form when seventh of 13 in handicap at the same C&D 8 days ago, finishing with running left.
4	3 4th (3) (2.75/1 +31%) Bashful		2.75 2.75/1(+31%)																															(3) Bashful 2.75/1, Won at Redcar in November before following up over hurdles at Uttoxeter. 13/2 and tongue strap on for 1st time in this code, ran well when second of 7 in handicap at Newcastle (1m) 15 days ago. Visor back on. Major player.
5th	4 5th (4) (4/1 -78%) Don't Look Back		4 4/1(-78%)																															(4) Don't Look Back 4/1, Fit from hurdling, career best when winning 12-runner handicap at Doncaster (10.2f, heavy, 28/1) 7 days ago, staying on well. Respected back down in trip.
6th	9 6th (9) (66/1 -100%) Braes Of Doune		66 66/1(-100%)																															(9) Braes Of Doune 66/1, Well below form when fifth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, heavy, 20/1), merely passing beaten rivals. Best watched after 6 months off.
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -33%) Glasses Up		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Glasses Up 16/1, Course winner. Nineteen runs since last win in 2021. Pulled up in maiden at this course (15.6f, soft, 6/1) on hurdling debut 157 days ago. Drops in grade on his return.
8th	6 8th (6) (12/1 -33%) Bulls Aye		12 12/1(-33%)																															(6) Bulls Aye 12/1, Course winner. Eleven runs since last win in 2020. 22/1, respectable third of 8 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 9 days ago. Task is now to build on his latest effort.

Five wins from 12 runs last year. 11/2, possibly unsuited by conditions when sixth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (1m2f, heavy) in October. Capable of getting involved if ready to go after 6 months off.

17:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

Don't Look Back romped home by six lengths in testing conditions over 1m2f at Doncaster last week, but Lucinda Russell's inmate isn't sure to excel now faced with this sharper test off 8lb higher in the handicap. With that in mind, BASHFUL, who was just denied over this distance at Newcastle recently, makes most appeal. Beltane returns to the turf off a declining mark and he may have been freshened up by a break.

After a spell over hurdles, BASHFUL continued in good heart when runner-up at Newcastle 15 days ago and he can return to winning ways with the visor (which he wore for his victory at Redcar in November) now back on. Don't Look Back was a clear-cut winner at Doncaster a week ago and is feared most, ahead of Beltane.

Bashful comes here on the back of a good run but DON'T LOOK BACK bolted up at Doncaster last week and can follow up.

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.
