2	2 2nd (2) (7/2 +22%) Magic Boy	3.5 7/2(+22%)	(2) Magic Boy 7/2, Ridden with more restraint and didn't settle when 6l third in a novice over 6f at Salisbury most recent run; effective 6f on a sound surface; game, not quite getting home All runs over 6f and has shown winning ability; could improve for going over 1m.

14:20 Musselburgh (Class 5) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TORALOU has to concede weight to her younger rivals, but looks capable of doing so after going close in a handicap over this trip at Ffos Las. Mark Loughnane's filly could find this less competitive and gets the nod. Elizabeth Bay has recorded her best efforts so far on the all-weather, but may still prove a bigger danger than both Magic Boy and Tardaff.

Marginal preference is for MAGIC BOY who has been sent south for two of his three races and this longer trip is worth exploring.

14:50 Musselburgh (Class 6) 8f - 7 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (5/2 +55%) Port Darwin	2.5 5/2(+55%)	(2) Port Darwin 5/2, Below form again on quick ground when comfortably held in a 7f maiden at Beverley last time. Effective over 7f on good ground but has been inconsistent in a short career. Perhaps flattered from the front when running his best race; handicap debut.
2	3 2nd (3) (7/4 +30%) Midnight Rodeo	1.75 7/4(+30%)	(3) Midnight Rodeo 7/4, Yet to show much, having too much to do when beaten 8l in a 6f maiden at Pontefract last time. Ridden by a top course jockey and may improve over a longer trip. Could improve for going 1m on handicap debut as the dam stayed well.
3	1 3rd (1) (16/1 -357%) Panthere Noir	16 16/1(-357%)	(1) Panthere Noir 16/1, Improved under a positive ride when dropped in trip, finishing fourth and beaten 4 1/4l in a 6f maiden at Ayr last time. Trainer in form. Effective over 6-7f on good and good to soft. Opening mark looks reasonable. Handicapper hasn't taken any chances but he's up to 1m here.
4	7 4th (7) (7/1 +50%) Shes Got The Blues	7 7/1(+50%)	(7) Shes Got The Blues 7/1, Soon outpaced but ran to form, looking in need of further when beaten 8 1/4l in a 5f novice at Beverley last time. Generally out of form, with modest novice efforts, and may require a step up from sprint trips. Poor so far but she is at least bred for this longer trip she faces on handicap debut.
5th	5 5th (5) (10/1 -100%) Lexington Express	10 10/1(-100%)	(5) Lexington Express 10/1, A bit keen but ran to form when beaten 4l off a mark of 62 over 7f at Thirsk last time. Effective over 7f on a sound surface and looks worth a try at 1m. Could have done with a truer pace when dropped in from the widest stall at Thirsk.
6th	4 6th (4) (6/1 -20%) Time Twister	6 6/1(-20%)	(4) Time Twister 6/1, Finished well and ran to form when comfortably held in a 7f maiden at Beverley last time. Usually consistent and effective over 7f on good to firm or good to soft. May progress further when stepped up to 1m or more. Should be more competitive in handicaps but hard to make a solid case.
7th	6 7th (6) (14/1 -87%) Preminision	14 14/1(-87%)	(6) Preminision 14/1, Ran to form when beaten 3 1/2l off a mark of 59 over 7f at Thirsk last time. Effective over 6-7f on good and good to firm, and may stay 1m. Just ahead of Lexington Express at Thirsk when both could have done with a stronger pace.

14:50 Musselburgh (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

PORT DARWIN ran better than his finishing position suggests when fifth in maiden company at Beverley. He raced up with the pace for a long way before fading in the closing stages, and the son of Australia could prove better than his opening mark now handicapping. Panthere Noir is another to note on his nursery debut, while Lexington Express has a shout on last month's third at Chepstow.

This longer trip should suit handicap debutant MIDNIGHT RODEO who is his Newmarket stable's only runner on the card.

1	2 1st (2) (4/1 +0%) Beaumadier	4 4/1(+0%)	(2) Beaumadier 4/1, Ran to form when beaten a neck off 53 at Lingfield last time. Trainer in form; effective at 5f on soft, good, and all-weather; back on a workable mark. Sole win came on AW in January; knocking on the door on turf recently; major player.
2	5 2nd (5) (13/2 +28%) Sixcor	6.5 13/2(+28%)	(5) Sixcor 13/2, Yard has won the last two runnings of this race. Well backed when scoring by 1/2l off 46 at Hamilton in July. Outpaced early when fifth, beaten 6 1/4l off 50 last time. Generally consistent veteran over 5-6f, probably best at the minimum trip. Dual C&D winner; below his best last time after finishing third here the time before.
3	8 3rd (8) (16/1 -45%) Crackinthunder	16 16/1(-45%)	(8) Crackinthunder 16/1, A bit keen and continued in poor form, well beaten in a novice over 6f at Newcastle last time. From a top course trainer; showed nothing in sprint novices on all-weather; plenty more needed. Soundly beaten at triple-figure odds in AW novices last year; big step forward needed.
4	6 4th (6) (9/4 +81%) Ski Angel	2.25 9/4(+81%)	(6) Ski Angel 9/4, Well backed when winning by a neck off 48 here in July. Made too much use of when stepped up in trip and did not stay, finishing eighth beaten 12l off 49 last time. Has a wide draw; acts on good to firm and good to soft; effective at 5f, needs this drop back in trip. Dual C&D winner; needs to bounce back from two disappointing efforts; drops back to 5f.
5th	7 5th (7) (28/1 -12%) Hard Nut	28 28/1(-12%)	(7) Hard Nut 28/1, Won this race last year. Below form when up in grade, beaten 7l in a handicap at Hamilton last time. Effective at 5f on a sound surface; inconsistent with a poor strike rate. 3-39; runner-up over C&D this month but ran poorly last time; others preferred.
6th	3 6th (3) (17/2 -113%) Doralee	8.5 17/2(-113%)	(3) Doralee 17/2, Improved down in grade under a positive ride, winning a classified race at Redcar by 2l last time. Effective at 5f on good and good to firm; needs to confirm latest form returned to handicaps. Beat a subsequent winner when making all at Redcar last time; now returns to a handicap.
7th	4 7th (4) (6/1 +20%) Jamie's Choice	6 6/1(+20%)	(4) Jamie's Choice 6/1, Poorly placed to challenge, beaten 3l off 51 at Catterick last time. Suited by 5f and a sound surface, may handle soft; out of form. C&D winner last July; made only late gains at Catterick last time after a 98-day break.
8th	1 8th (1) (20/1 -500%) Golden Rainbow	20 20/1(-500%)	(1) Golden Rainbow 20/1, Did too much too soon over a stretching trip in a race where the pace collapsed, beaten 7 1/4l in a handicap over 6f at Pontefract last time. Ridden by a top course jockey; suited by 5f and a sound surface, needs this drop back in trip. Form dipped on his last two starts (6f) but the drop back to 5f may help; visor back on.

15:20 Musselburgh (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Doralee faces a tougher assignment back in handicap company after winning a classified race at Redcar, so another chance goes to GOLDEN RAINBOW. Rebecca Menzies' sprinter returns to the minimum trip 5lb lower than when finishing third at Thirsk in June. The first two home have subsequently franked that form and a bold bid is anticipated from the son of Havana Gold. Beaumadier and Sixcor are others to consider.

Doralee beat a subsequent winner last time but BEAUMADIER has been knocking on the door and may be able to double his tally.

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	4 1st (4) (7/2 +13%) Temper Trap	3.5 7/2(+13%)	(4) Temper Trap 7/2, Returned to form when back up in trip at a favoured venue, beaten 1/2l off 53 at Hamilton last time. A Hamilton specialist who is suited by cut and now back to form off a reduced mark, could build on that. Travelled up well but wasn't able to get past the winner at Hamilton; cheekpieces return.
2	9 2nd (9) (11/1 +61%) On The Bubble	11 11/1(+61%)	(9) On The Bubble 11/1, May have found the ground a bit quick when beaten 5l in a handicap at Ayr last time, having been in good form prior. Effective at 8-9f, acts on good ground and handles cut, but has a poor strike rate and moderate current form. Both wins have been on soft; needs to bounce back from a lesser effort at Ayr last time.
3	7 3rd (7) (5/1 +58%) Zebra Star	5 5/1(+58%)	(7) Zebra Star 5/1, Possibly idled when hitting the front but scored by 1 1/4l off 49 over 10f at Ayr in July. Ran to form when fourth, beaten 2l off 53 last time. Effective from 7f to 10f and likes Ayr. Won over 1m2f at Ayr last month and he was beaten only 2l there last time; back to 1m.
4	2 4th (2) (4/1 +38%) Overlooked	4 4/1(+38%)	(2) Overlooked 4/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 55 over 7f at Beverley last time. Still a maiden but the handicapper has relented. Effective between 7f and 1m. 19-race maiden; had the cheekpieces back on when third at Beverley (7.5f) last time.
5th	8 5th (8) (9/2 +68%) Jump The Gun	4.5 9/2(+68%)	(8) Jump The Gun 9/2, No obvious excuse when beaten 8l in a handicap over 7f at Ayr last time. Effective between 6f and 7f but looks regressive. Below his best on his last two starts; now tries 1m for the first time in over three years.
6th	1 6th (1) (7/1 +30%) Without Delay	7 7/1(+30%)	(1) Without Delay 7/1, Ran to form when scoring by 3/4l off 54 over 7f at Catterick three starts ago. Stopped quickly up in grade and finished eighth, beaten 18l off 56 last time. Generally consistent at 7f-1m and could bounce back. Below her best in two starts since winning a 0-60 at Catterick last month; bit to prove.
7th	6 7th (6) (16/1 -33%) Trais Fluors	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Trais Fluors 16/1, Had too much to do after missing the break and was beaten 3l off 57 at Ayr last time. Usually held up and effective at 7-8f. Inconsistent veteran who is not the force of old. 11yo; beaten only 3l when fifth at Ayr last time; now 7lb below his last winning mark.
8th	5 8th (5) (7/1 +7%) Scarriff	7 7/1(+7%)	(5) Scarriff 7/1, Game when scoring by 1/2l off 50 over 9f here three starts back. Made too much use of when rushed up after missing the break and failed to get home, sixth beaten 9l off 53 last time. Effective 8-9f; inconsistent but goes well at Musselburgh. Won here over 1m1f under Alfie Redman last month; below best last time; may bounce back.
9th	10 9th (10) (50/1 +24%) Selby's Joy	50 50/1(+24%)	(10) Selby's Joy 50/1, Another poor run when finishing down the field in a classified race at Thirsk most recently. Generally out of form, exposed as poor, and now wears blinkers for the first time. 16-race maiden; beaten only one rival in four starts this season; blinkers applied..

15:50 Musselburgh (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

TEMPER TRAP bounced back to form when a close second at Hamilton a couple of weeks ago and Tim Easterby's gelding has to be respected off the same mark here. The recent Beverley third Overlooked could prove to be the main threat, although Zebra Star and Jump The Gun are others who arrive here with valid form claims at their best.

Temper Trap should go well again but a chance is taken on SCARRIFF bouncing back from a lesser effort.

Some ability in novice events but well beaten in two handicaps since; down in grade.
2	8 2nd (8) (3/1 +14%) Law Degree	3 3/1(+14%)	(8) Law Degree 3/1, Outclassed up in grade and may have found the ground a bit quick when down the field in a handicap over 8f at Windsor most recently; best with cut, effective at 7-8f; dropping in the weights but largely out of form this term. Failed to beat a rival home in a higher grade at Windsor last time; may prefer it softer.
3	9 3rd (9) (33/1 -267%) Our Nicola	33 33/1(-267%)	(9) Our Nicola 33/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/2l off 46 over 8f at Redcar last time; no really worthwhile form and rating may flatter. Finished closer at Redcar (1m) last time than she had previously but better still needed.
4	7 4th (7) (3/1 +75%) Tuscan Point	3 3/1(+75%)	(7) Tuscan Point 3/1, Keen, went clear and made too much use of, well beaten in a handicap at Ayr latest; effective at 7f on good and good to firm; maiden who needs a more measured ride. 11-race maiden; went off too hard and failed to beat a rival home at Ayr; needs to settle.
5th	3 5th (3) (7/1 +42%) Bantz	7 7/1(+42%)	(3) Bantz 7/1, Outpaced and below par when beaten 9 1/4l in a handicap at Newcastle last time; usually held up; suited by 7f on a sound surface but inconsistent. Second at Doncaster in June but down the field in two starts since; needs a return to form.
6th	5 6th (5) (6/1 -71%) South Road	6 6/1(-71%)	(5) South Road 6/1, Raced freely when scoring by 3/4l off 57 over 6f at Ayr on penultimate start; ran to form off a revised mark when fifth beaten 3l off 60 last time; top course jockey booked; effective at 6f, acts on good and good to soft, may be worth another go at 7f. Won over 6f at Ayr (good to soft) last month; respectable effort last time; back up to 7f.
7th	6 7th (6) (6/1 -100%) Melissa Honey	6 6/1(-100%)	(6) Melissa Honey 6/1, Ran to form when beaten 2 1/4l off 59 at Haydock last time; effective at 6-7f; running into form and recent efforts franked. Third of 12 when stepped back up to this trip in a higher grade at Haydock; respected.
8th	1 8th (1) (28/1 -180%) Monetize	28 28/1(-180%)	(1) Monetize 28/1, Badly hampered when under pressure but probably beaten anyway, well beaten in a novice at Redcar latest; effective at 6-7f but inconsistent. Beaten a head at Ripon in May but she's failed to back that up in three starts since.

16:20 Musselburgh (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

MELISSA HONEY remains a maiden, but she has been running well enough of late to suggest that she can be successful in a race of this nature. South Road scored at Ayr two starts ago and was not disgraced back at that venue last time. On that evidence, she could pose the biggest threat ahead of Law Degree and Our Nicola.

The vote goes to MELISSA HONEY who ran well over this trip in a slightly higher grade at Haydock last time.

1	1 1st (1) (1/1 +17%) Sophiesticate	1 1/1(+17%)	(1) Sophiesticate 1/1, Bit keen but ran to form when beaten 1/4l off 60 over 10f at Ayr last time. Represents a top course jockey and trainer combination. Generally consistent at 10f and handles soft, good and good to firm ground, while also getting 12f. Dual C&D winner; been running well at Ayr over 1m2f and now steps back up in trip; claims.
2	5 2nd (5) (40/1 -233%) Star Of Markinch	40 40/1(-233%)	(5) Star Of Markinch 40/1, Continued in poor form when beaten 6l in a handicap over 1m5f at Ayr last time. Cheekpieces are applied for the first time. Effective at 14f–16f and acts on good to soft. Remains an exposed maiden. 34-race maiden; quite encouraging on last two starts; cheekpieces on.
3	2 3rd (2) (16/1 -14%) Rory The Cat	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Rory The Cat 16/1, Did not find much when beaten 6 1/2l in a handicap over 1m5f at Ayr last time. Generally out of form, although the trainer is going well. Out of form in both codes in 2025. 1lb lower than his win here in August; well beaten in three starts this summer.
4	3 4th (3) (15/8 +12%) Naughty Niall	1.875 15/8(+12%)	(3) Naughty Niall 15/8, Ran to form when scoring by a neck off 51 over 10f at Yarmouth on his penultimate start. Outpaced but rallied in first-time cheekpieces before beaten 1/2l off 53 last time. Suited by 10f, unproven over further, and acts on good to soft and good to firm.

5th	4 5th (4) (5/1 +9%) Wadacre Giorgio	5 5/1(+9%)	(4) Wadacre Giorgio 5/1, Ran to form but weakened late when stepped up in trip and taken on up front, beaten 5 1/2l in a handicap over 1m6f at Redcar last time.

16:50 Musselburgh (Class 6) 12f Race Class Flow

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

Sophiesticate has to be of interest following back-to-back seconds at Ayr, but marginal preference is for NAUGHTY NIALL. Ian Williams' gelding won at Yarmouth in July and was only narrowly denied when third at Leicester subsequently. A further 1lb rise should not prevent another bold bid and the four-year-old tops the shortlist. The rest all have questions to answer, but Wadacre Giorgio is the pick of them.

Naughty Niall would hold strong claims if seeing out the trip but in-form SOPHIESTICATE (nap) can gain a deserved success.

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.
