Ahamoment

3.5/1(+30%)
(2) Ahamoment 3.5/1, 15/2, fifth of 7 in handicap at this C&D (good) 19 days ago, finishing with running left having been short of room under 2f out.
0-8 but unlucky not to finish closer here last time; could make his presence felt.

2nd (1) Merricourt (3/1 +0%)
Merricourt

3/1(+0%)
(1) Merricourt 3/1, Course winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2022. 3/1, respectable fourth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, no extra inside final 1f. Blinkers on 1st time and lurking on a handy mark.
Four of five wins over 1m, but went close over C&D on penultimate start; could play a part.

Stripzee

18/1(+18%)
(6) Stripzee 18/1, Seventh of 14 in handicap at Beverley (8.4f, good, 25/1) in September, no extra final 100 yds. Handicapper has afforded her a chance but this run may well be needed on return.
5lb below last winning mark but likely to need this after 256 days off.

Oriental Lilly

(7) Oriental Lilly 6.5/1, Twenty two runs since last win in 2021. Respectable fifth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm, 16/1) 11 days ago, fading entering final 1f.
Losing run up to 22 and others are more solid.

5th (3) Laertes (7/1 -155%)
Laertes

7/1(-155%)
(3) Laertes 7/1, Respectable second of 7 in handicap (7/2) at Chelmsford City (6f) 9 days ago, keeping on well final 1f. One to be interested in on the back of that and fancied to feature back up at 7f.
Flattered to finish so close when second on the AW last time; still has stamina to prove.
6th
6th (5) Monaadhil (3.33/1 -11%)
Monaadhil

3.33/1(-11%)
(5) Monaadhil 3.33/1, C&D winner who added to his tally at Chelmsford (7f) in April. Remained in form since, good second back at that venue 9 days ago. Can figure again in this groove returned to turf.
C&D winner who has been running well on the AW in recent months; plenty of appeal.
7th
7th (4) Turbo Command (6.5/1 +46%)
Turbo Command

6.5/1(+46%)
(4) Turbo Command 6.5/1, 2 wins from 5 runs this year, the latest at Southwell (7f) in April. 25/1, eighth of 10 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, dropping away from 2f out.
All three wins on the AW and finished behind two of these back on turf last time.
LTO Selection:

13:15 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

Given that Turbo Command is arguably better on the all-weather and Laertes didn't seem to be exactly crying out for a step up in trip when he was brushed aside by a runaway winner over 6f at Chelmsford nine days ago, this might be best left to MERRICOURT, who has dropped to a mark 4lb lower than his last win. He has gone well over C&D before and could be hard to peg back if set alight by the first-time blinkers. Monaadhil rates as the chief threat.

LAERTES brings a far less exposed profile to the table than most and marked himself down as one to be interested in when runner-up at Chelmsford (6f) 9 days ago, keeping on well inside final 1f. He earns the vote returned to 7f, with Merricourt and Monaadhil others to consider.

The choice is MONAADHIL who comes into this in decent heart on the AW and who won over this C&D last summer.

(8) Liamarty Dreams 5.5/1, 14/1, creditable fourth of 15 in handicap at Thirsk (7f, good) 14 days ago. Each-way chance.
Claims on form, but he wouldn't want the ground to firm up too much.

Gioia Cieca

7.5/1(+0%)
(6) Gioia Cieca 7.5/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2021. Seventeenth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 12/1) 15 days ago. Would be a danger to all if on-song.
C&D winner, but on a losing run of 12 and behind a couple of these last time.

Abduction

3.5/1(-40%)
(3) Abduction 3.5/1, 5/2, creditable third of 8 in handicap at Ayr (6f, good to firm) 11 days ago, not clear run. Makes plenty of appeal off the same mark back up in trip here.
Three turf wins over 7f last year; has run well over shorter the last twice; major chance.

(7) Manigordo 3/1, C&D winner. 7/1, good second of 8 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 11 days ago, well positioned. Not taken lightly off the same mark.
Dual C&D winner last August and has run well since; one of the likelier winners.

(4) No Nay Nicki 3.5/1, Bit below form eighth of 20 in handicap at York (7f, good to firm, 11/2) 15 days ago, nearest finish. Entitled to come on for that run and possibilities off this 2 lb lower mark.
Should be all the better for her York return and looks favourably handicapped.

Hasn't threatened in either start since returning last month and may need a stiffer test.
7th

Kalganov

80/1(-100%)
(5) Kalganov 80/1, 40/1, last of 7 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, heavy) 23 days ago. Tongue strap on 1st time and he's likely to find a few too good once again.
Has shown nothing in three starts since joining this yard from France; tongue-tie on.

Good record in Sweden but well held in three starts since joining this yard; tongue-tie on.
9th
9th (1) Home City (8.5/1 +15%)
Home City

8.5/1(+15%)
(1) Home City 8.5/1, 16/1, last of 16 in handicap at Meydan (6f, good). Off 106 days and cheekpieces back on. Would be in with a shout if he were to put his best foot forward.
Only seen at Meydan since start of 2022; stable doesn't send many here; watch market.
LTO Selection:

13:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 3) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MANIGORDO (third) had to carry a penalty when he encountered Billyb (second) at Thirsk last August and, having proven his well-being with a near miss at Ayr 11 days ago, the Tim Easterby-trained gelding is fancied to turn the form around on 4lb better terms. Abduction also comes into the reckoning based on his previous C&D form with the selection, and he too needs to be taken seriously. Liamarty Dreams completes the shortlist.

The return to this trip promises to suit ABDUCTION, who was denied a clear run at a crucial stage when a close-up third at Ayr recently. Jim Goldie's charge was beaten twice by Manigordo over C&D last season but he is clearly in great form and is taken to emerge on top this time. That said, Manigordo is greatly respected given his record here and is also arriving on the back of a near-miss at Ayr. No Nay Nicki should be sharper following her reappearance spin at York and she also has claims.

Preference is for ABDUCTION (nap) who has run well over shorter the last twice, having won three times over 7f on turf last year.

(7) Gray's Inn 4/1, Promising type. Second of 6 in maiden at Ripon (5f, heavy, 8/1) on debut 22 days ago. Should progress.
Found a subsequent winner just too good on her debut last month; shouldn't be far away.

Fair effort behind Sankari on debut, but well held here last time.
7th
7th (3) Churros (6/1 -9%)
Churros

6/1(-9%)
(3) Churros 6/1, Foaled January 26. Calyx gelding. Dam, 2-y-o 5.3f/6f winner, half-sister to useful Japanese 2-y-o 6f-7f (Grade 2) winner Mondreise. One to note in the betting.
Stable's record with 2yo newcomers makes him one to monitor closely in the market.
LTO Selection:

14:30 Musselburgh Seller (Class 2) 5f Race Class Flow

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

GRAY'S INN impressed with the manner in which she responded to urgings from James Sullivan in the saddle when she ran on for an eye-catching second on her debut at Ripon 22 days ago. Given the form was boosted by the winner going in again at Redcar on Monday, there are solid reasons to expect a lot more from this daughter of Inns Of Court. Sankari also appears to have a bright future and is noted along with Ponga and Pumpkin Pie.

GRAY'S INN showed plenty when runner-up in a Ripon maiden on debut 3 weeks ago and the 11 lb she receives from penalised-winner Sankari may prove decisive. Ponga and Chumbaa can fight out a place.

The choice is SANKARI whose first and second in a couple of novices last month read well in the context of this race.

(4) White Moonlight 4/1, Useful mare. In good form in Meydan this winter and shaped as if needing run when 5¼ lengths fifth of 8 to Sacred in Chartwell Stakes at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Big player on best form.
Lightly raced 6yo who was well held in an AW Group 3 last time; enough to prove.

Made a successful debut on soft ground at Gowran Park but form not worked out.

4th (1) Fast Response (10/1 -82%)
Fast Response

10/1(-82%)
(1) Fast Response 10/1, Three-time 5f/6f winner on testing ground last autumn and she resumed with a good second in listed race at Doncaster. Only fifth in similar company at Beverley 43 days ago but she's the sort to bounce back and worth a try at 7f.
Listed winner last year, but up to 7f for the first time and looks best on a soft surface.
5th
5th (2) Espressoo (8/1 +50%)

(2) Espressoo 8/1, Useful filly. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap (4/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) on return 11 days ago, holding on gamely. More needed again at this level.
Won an Ayr handicap on her return, but will do well to make an impact at this level.

Second and first in two Thirsk maidens; this is a much more daunting task..
7th
7th (5) Basil Martini (14/1 -56%)
Basil Martini

(5) Basil Martini 14/1, Group 3 winner over this trip at the Curragh at 2 yrs. 12/1, respectable 4¼ lengths fifth of 9 to Fix You in listed race at Cork (5.5f, soft) on return 29 days ago, inadequate test. Back up in trip but vulnerable under a penalty.
Group 3 winner at the Curragh last September; fast ground would pose a question.
LTO Selection:

15:05 Musselburgh Listed (Class 1) 7f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 1 race.

This can go the way of HEREDIA, who was a somewhat unlucky loser when staying on from off the pace at Newmarket behind a subsequent Group 2 winner last time out. The Sandringham winner should relish going back up in trip and she gets the vote ahead of White Moonlight, who had been running well in Meydan before an uninspiring run on her return to British soil in the Chartwell. Irish raider Basil Martini is another to note.

HEREDIA went a bit quiet after completing a 4-timer in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot last summer, but she looked back to her best when runner-up to subsequent Group 2 winner Azure Blue in a listed race at Newmarket on return and this looks a good opportunity for her to resume winning ways. White Moonlight wasn't beaten far in a Group 2 in Dubai early this year and rates the main threat on that form, with Fast Response best of the others.

This can go to HEREDIA, twice placed at Listed level and whose latest narrow defeat at Newmarket has since been franked by the winner.

Has done well since returning and shapes as though the extra furlong should suit.
LTO Selection:

15:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 3) 9f Race Class Flow

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

OLD SMOKE ran well for a long way in the London Gold Cup before fading somewhat late on, and the slight drop in trip could prove ideal on this occasion as he looks to bounce back. On the other hand, going up in distance could be just what is needed for Dancing In Paris after a strong second at Sandown last week. Stablemates Gareeb and Lion Of War are players based on the pick of their form, while Redcar scorer Milteye is another to note.

Last month's London Gold Cup at Newbury is usually one of the hottest 3-y-o handicaps of the season so OLD SMOKE, who wasn't beaten far into sixth in that, might be able to show he's on a workable mark in these slightly calmer waters. Dancing In Paris has made a strong start to his handicap career and is second choice ahead of Gareeb, who looks the pick of the Charlie Johnston trio. Top-weight Coco Jack is another to consider.

The vote goes to DANCING IN PARIS who has done well since handicapping and his latest close second at Sandown can be marked up.

Has twice run well since returning and 3lb lower than when winning over C&D last summer.
LTO Selection:

16:15 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

End Zone recorded his fifth career success at Hamilton earlier in the week when scoring by just under a length, and he now has to carry 5lb extra, which might not be enough to prevent him from having a big say once more. However, he does make a quick turnaround and that could open it up for RORY to pounce. The son of Orientor was just touched off at Ayr over 7f and he can go one place better. Without Delay is also noted and, if he takes part, Bulls Aye is an obvious contender because he escapes a penalty for Friday's Carlisle triumph.

This looks decidedly trappy but RORY, despite his wide draw, found the step up in trip having a positive effect when staying on strongly for second at Ayr (7.2f) 11 days ago. Worth a crack at this longer trip on that evidence, he shades the vote, with End Zone and Bulls Aye others fancied to be in the mix.

Preference is for RORY who went close upped to 7f at Ayr last time and still may have more to offer over these longer trips.

LTO Selection:

16:50 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

The chart reads from right to left to today's class 6 race.

LAAKHOF went in by a head last time at Catterick when sporting a first-time tongue-tie and he was raised 4lb for that success, which could prove to be lenient given two subsequent winners have come out of that race. The son of Profitable can take this and move up in the handicap ranks. The main threat might be Canaria Prince, who continues to prove competitive off his current mark, while Stay Smart is also worthy of consideration.

LAAKHOF got back on track when making a winning return/yard debut at Catterick 3 weeks ago and, remaining with handicapping scope on the pick of his exploits in Ireland, he could well be up to supplementing that success here. Bonito Cavalo will benefit from the forecast strong pace and could pick up the pieces. Dual C&D winner Canaria Prince could also go well from his stand-side rail draw.

The choice is CANARIA PRINCE who has run well lately and is off the same mark as for the second of two C&D successes last August.

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.
