13:50 Musselburgh (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

WILTSHIRE LAD was one of the last winners to be trained by Sir Michael Stoute when he landed a nursery at Southwell in October. That was an encouraging performance from the son of Wootton Bassett, who appeals strongly returning off 5lb higher with his new yard in excellent form. The runner-up from that Southwell race also filled the same position behind Invited when he scored at Kempton last month. George Boughey's gelding is highly respected back on turf off 6lb higher. Zowal and Hot Dancer complete the shortlist.

Andrew Balding is in flying form and his new recruit WILTSHIRE LAD gets the vote ahead of Hot Dancer and Invited.

14:25 Musselburgh (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

GWEEDORE bounced back to form when second over C&D last weekend and the veteran merits plenty of respect off the same mark here. That said, Alzahir arrives on the back of two victories in recent weeks and could give the selection plenty to think about. Rockymountainway is another with strong form claims and edges out Benacre to be best of the rest.

A warm contest can go to course specialist GWEEDORE who showed he still has fire in his belly when second here last weekend.

(6) Jer Batt 10/3, Plenty of good runs last season, including close second to Cover Up at Doncaster last time in October; yard won this in 2022; a contender for sure if in top form on return.

(3) American Affair 7/2, Progressed well last season before possibly over the top on final run; won over C&D on 2024 return; still competitively weighted and profile suggests he may come on again this year.

Enjoyed a good autumn but high in weights again now and his reappearance was low key.

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

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

There isn't much to choose between AMERICAN AFFAIR and Jer Batt on bare form and while the latter surely looks capable of paying his way at this level, the former has a better record when fresh and narrowly shades the vote. A winner over C&D on his seasonal debut 12 months ago, Jim Goldie's five-year-old did nothing but progress in 2024 and resumes with the potential to be a stable star in similar handicaps for his highly capable yard. Cover Up, Jm Jungle and Tatterstall are also notable options.

Jer Batt is still capable of better but COVER UP (nap) has been running well in Dubai and this could set up perfectly for him.

(4) Align The Stars 10/3, Did well in handicaps last summer and, having been gelded, back to form with reappearance third of four (led) in Listed race this month; one to consider closely.

Wise Eagle

7
7/1(+7%)
(2) Wise Eagle 7/1, Won this in 2023; evidently retained almost all of his old ability last season; better on the Flat than hurdles; suspicion that he now needs further than 1m6f on the Flat.
Latest Flat win was this race in 2023 off 5lb lower; a very mixed Flat campaign last year.

15/2(+12%)
(1) Aimeric 15/2, Classy sort who has each-way chance on last season's form and well worth another go at 1m6f (likely to stay); vulnerable to better-weighted rivals.
Won handicap first time out in 2023 and 2024; solid record last year but stamina to prove.

Loughville

9/1(+44%)
(11) Loughville 9/1, Excuses for two Listed-race defeats at end of 2024, with 1m6f on heavy possibly too far and then 1m2f maybe too short; progressive handicapper previously; not ruled out.
Flowered last term, most notably for a stylish 1m4f win at Newbury (soft) in September.

15:35 Musselburgh (Class 2) 13f Race Class Flow

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

Danny Tudhope has been aboard the last two winners of this contest, including Wise Eagle, who he gets back aboard today. Adam Nicol's charge merits the utmost respect despite being 5lb higher this time around, but the vote goes to ALIGN THE STARS. A progressive handicapper last season before coming up short in a couple of Group contests, he returned with a creditable third in the Further Flight at Nottingham recently and is sure to mount another stern challenge with that outing under his belt. Wild Waves was by no means discredited in the St Leger when last seen and he looks a real player back in a handicap, especially with his yard in flying form.

Wild Waves was last seen when running with credit in the St Leger but ALIGN THE STARS made a bright reappearance ten days ago.

Three-race maiden, third over 7f here last term; this is a steep rise in distance.

16:10 Musselburgh (Class 2) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Cases can be made for all of these so only a tentative vote can go to AMALFINA. Outpaced over the mile at Doncaster on her debut in October, the daughter of Nathaniel will relish a step up in trip and she appeals as the type to progress over middle distances this term. Canavan might be a longer term prospect, but he showed clear promise last season and is another likely to benefit from a considerable rise in distance, while Ivatt appeals most of the remainder.

Caspi Star could be dangerous if getting an easy lead, but the one with the most potential is probably Charlie Fellowes' IVATT.

16:45 Musselburgh (Class 3) 8f Race Class Flow

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

EPIDAVROS put in a promising display when fifth on her seasonal debut at Southwell a couple of weeks ago and, with the benefit of that outing, Katie Scott's filly could be hard to stop here. Reach struggled on her final couple of starts last year but should not be underestimated on her return to action, while similar comments apply to Alessia Fernanda.

Reach (second choice) and Zapphire should go well if fully primed but the percentage call is EPIDAVROS.

17:17 Musselburgh (Class 4) 5f Race Class Flow

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

ZARZYNI was arguably an unlucky loser when a close third over C&D last Sunday as he met with plenty of trouble in running. With a clear passage here, the veteran could provide his supporters with some valuable compensation. However, Knicks also did not get the clearest of runs when narrowly ahead in second that day and is another to consider. Only Spoofing took the spoils on that occasion but a 4lb penalty could leave him vulnerable.

Only Spoofing is solid despite his penalty but Balon d'Or and OUR ABSENT FRIENDS are interesting rivals.

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.
