13:45 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 3) 5f - 3 Run Class & Speed Card

Info	Form	Odds	Comments
1	2 1st (2) (4/11 +41%) Stormy Impact	0.363636 4/11(+41%)	(2) Stormy Impact 4/11, Runner-up in novices on first 3 starts and useful effort when fifth in a 6f Group 3 at the recent Ayr Western meeting. Sets a good standard. Three narrow defeats in novice races before good fifth of 13 in Group 3 at Ayr; big shout.
2	3 2nd (3) (14/1 -75%) Timescape	14 14/1(-75%)	(3) Timescape 14/1, 15/8, well-held fifth of 7 in novice at Beverley (5f, good to soft) on debut 78 days ago. The fact she was so short in the betting suggests a good deal better was anticipated. Second favourite for a novice at Beverley (5f, soft) in July but faded to be well beaten.
3	1 3rd (1) (5/2 -33%) Amestris	2.5 5/2(-33%)	(1) Amestris 5/2, Fairly useful performer. Won 5f Lingfield maiden (turf) in June. Ran up to her best when narrowly denied in 5f Windsor novice (good) 16 days ago. Likely to go well but may struggle to concede weight to Stormy Impact. Ran in Group/Listed races before neck 2nd at Windsor (at 4-6) in a novice race last time.

13:45 Musselburgh Stakes (Class 3) 5f Race Class Flow

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

Timescape will need to improve on her fifth over 5f at Beverley in July but it wouldn't be a surprise if the daughter of Havana Grey left that performance behind. That said, preference is for STORMY IMPACT. Richard Fahey's charge was far from disgraced when fifth in a Group 3 at Ayr last month, and this looks a good opportunity for her to gain a breakthrough victory with her sights lowered. Recent Windsor runner-up Amestris has shown flashes of useful form and is likely to serve it up to the selection.

STORMY IMPACT has good form and can see off Amestris and open her account at the fifth time of asking.

This is where STORMY IMPACT can get off the mark. All her form suggests she can be more than a match for the penalised Amestris.

Best run when 7th in 6f Haydock maiden last month; not without a chance on handicap debut.
4	4 (4) (11/2 -22%) Herb Fennel	5.5 11/2(-22%)	(4) Herb Fennel 11/2, Did too much too soon when fourth of 11 in maiden at Wolverhampton (7.2f, 11/2) 11 days ago but had posted fair form in both starts previously and warrants respect on handicap debut.

Gelded since last start. Promise in three novices; gelded after a lesser run last time; interesting on h'cap debut.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -33%) Sure And Stedfast	12 12/1(-33%)	(7) Sure And Stedfast 12/1, Thrice-raced maiden. Fourth of 9 in maiden (50/1) at this C&D (good) 35 days ago. May do better now sent handicapping. Best run when fourth in a C&D maiden last time; closely matched with Storm The Dug..
3	3 (3) (14/1 -40%) Liberty Bird	14 14/1(-40%)	(3) Liberty Bird 14/1, Latest win at Southwell in September. 14/1, seventh of 10 in nursery at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) 15 days ago. Others more persuasive. Two wins this term, latest an AW nursery; not so good otherwise; not easy to predict.
6	6 (6) (14/1 -133%) Storm The Dug	14 14/1(-133%)	(6) Storm The Dug 14/1, Posted best effort yet when third of 9 in maiden over C&D (good) 35 days ago and remains open to further improvement on switch to handicapping.

14:20 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 5) 7f Race Class Flow

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

CASHLYN CAVALIER shaped with more promise than the bare result suggests when finishing seventh over 6f at Haydock in August, looking tapped for toe at a crucial stage before keeping on well inside the final furlong. Now stepping up to 7f for the first time, he gets the vote to score on his nursery debut. Herb Fennel has shown a fair level of ability and must enter calculations, while better can be expected from Storm The Dug.

Preference is for STORM THE DUG, who found improvement when third here last time and looks to have been brought along with nurseries in mind. Herb Fennel and Cashlyn Cavalier head the list of dangers.

Having shown improved form when third in a C&D maiden last time STORM THE DUG looks to have a sound chance on his handicap debut.

8	8 (8) (4/1 +43%) Rwenearlytheredad	4 4/1(+43%)	(8) Rwenearlytheredad 4/1, C&D winner. Good fourth of 13 in handicap at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm, 14/1) 13 days ago. Visor may help him cash in on this reduced mark. Back to form recently and has claims if he can find something extra with visor added.
9	9 (9) (4/1 +43%) The Gay Blade	4 4/1(+43%)	(9) The Gay Blade 4/1, C&D winner. 3 wins from 14 runs this year. Latest win at Hamilton in July. 7/2, bit below form fourth of 11 in handicap at Thirsk (6f, good) 16 days ago. Can make presence felt. Dead-heated at Hamilton in July but his form cooled at Thirsk last time; others preferred.
2	2 (2) (11/2 +21%) Ramon Di Loria	5.5 11/2(+21%)	(2) Ramon Di Loria 11/2, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in August. 10/3, respectable fourth of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (6f, good) 10 days ago. Won at Ayr in August and has finished placed three times since then; respected.
4	4 (4) (6/1 +40%) Pembrokeshire	6 6/1(+40%)	(4) Pembrokeshire 6/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in July. Creditable fifth of 13 in handicap (20/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago, running on. Won at Ayr (7f, good) in July and he didn't get much luck there last time; in the mix.
11	11 (11) (13/2 +19%) Gunnerside	6.5 13/2(+19%)	(11) Gunnerside 13/2, C&D winner. Fifth of 8 in handicap (9/1) at this C&D (good to firm) 17 days ago, sticking to his task well back over 7f. Not beaten far behind an improver C&D last time and has claims if he can build on that.
3	3 (3) (10/1 -43%) Keep Me Stable	10 10/1(-43%)	(3) Keep Me Stable 10/1, Latest win at Newcastle in September. Shaped as though still in form when sixth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f, 9/2) 22 days ago and this sharper 7f probably in her favour. Two wins from last four starts including at this track; dangerous back on turf.
5	5 (5) (10/1 -122%) Without Delay	10 10/1(-122%)	(5) Without Delay 10/1, Three wins from 10 runs this year. Career best when winning 8-runner handicap at this course (8f, good to firm, 9/4) 18 days ago, well positioned. 2 b rise fair and she's very effective at this venue. Triple course winner including 18 days ago; only up 2lb and she's respected back in trip.
7	7 (7) (12/1 -100%) Purple Martini	12 12/1(-100%)	(7) Purple Martini 12/1, C&D winner. Respectable third of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good, 7/2). Off 91 days but is capable fresh. C&D winner who was a fair third here when last seen in July; each-way claims on return.
10	10 (10) (18/1 +10%) Black Friday	18 18/1(+10%)	(10) Black Friday 18/1, C&D winner. Twelve runs since last win in 2023. Eleventh of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Ayr (7.2f, good to firm) 13 days ago. Others more persuasive. Just one win since October 2021 and he's been out of sorts in last two runs.
12	12 (12) (40/1 -100%) Zachary	40 40/1(-100%)	(12) Zachary 40/1, Fifteen runs since last win in 2023. 5/1, last of 9 in handicap at Wolverhampton (7.2f) 43 days ago. Uphill task on recent turf exploits. Both wins over sprint trips on AW and he looks opposable back on turf.

14:55 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 7f Race Class Flow

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

WITHOUT DELAY showed a likeable attitude when winning over a mile here last month and, upped 2lb, she gets the vote to bring up the double here. The step back up in trip should see Ramon Di Loria to better effect, while Keep Me Stable can bounce back having struggled when turned out under a 5lb penalty at Newcastle last month.

RWENEARLYTHEREDAD has a career-low mark to work with and the application of a visor could be just what he needs to allow him to travel with a bit more purpose. He therefore gets the tentative nod in favour of The Gay Blade and Keep Me Stable.

An open race in which the vote goes to WITHOUT DELAY, who is only 2lb higher than for her brave win here 18 days ago.

3	3 (3) (11/4 +0%) Kyber Crystal	2.75 11/4(+0%)	(3) Kyber Crystal 11/4, Consistent performer. C&D winner. Improved on recent efforts to win 11-runner handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 4/1) 10 days ago, well on top finish. Carries penalty but she may well be up to the task. Two wins in 2024, first over C&D, latest at Hamilton (5f); stiffer task with her penalty.
7	7 (7) (4/1 -20%) Mrs Bagerran	4 4/1(-20%)	(7) Mrs Bagerran 4/1, C&D winner. 5/1, creditable second of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago. Likely to give it another good go from the front. Won twice over C&D in 2023; in front of several of these when 2nd over C&D latest; chance.
11	11 (11) (11/2 -38%) Royal Duke	5.5 11/2(-38%)	(11) Royal Duke 11/2, Respectable 1¼ lengths third of 11 to Kyber Crystal in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good, 10/1) 10 days ago, nearest finish. Can give a good account. Eight race maiden; best efforts on last 2 starts, 3rd to Kyber Crystal latest; a possible.
9	9 (9) (17/2 +15%) Ski Angel	8.5 17/2(+15%)	(9) Ski Angel 17/2, C&D winner. Sixth of 9 in handicap at Ayr (5f, good to firm, 16/1) 13 days ago. Has fallen to a workable mark if she can step up. Two wins, one over C&D, earlier in the season but not in quite such good form since.
10	10 (10) (9/1 +10%) Cuban Rock	9 9/1(+10%)	(10) Cuban Rock 9/1, Course winner. 7 lengths tenth of 11 to Kyber Crystal in handicap (13/2) at Hamilton (5f, good) 10 days ago. 2-33, latest win being at Hamilton in June; below-par on last two starts.
8	8 (8) (10/1 -11%) Sixcor	10 10/1(-11%)	(8) Sixcor 10/1, C&D winner. Latest win at Ayr in August. 9/2, respectable 2¾ lengths sixth of 11 to Kyber Crystal in handicap at Hamilton (5f, good) 10 days ago, headway when short of room. Cheekpieces back on and he's one to consider. 6f Ayr winner in August; behind Kyber Crystal on three occasions since; bit to find.
1	1 (1) (11/1 +21%) Union Island	11 11/1(+21%)	(1) Union Island 11/1, Opened his account over this C&D in July. 9/1, last of 6 in handicap at Lingfield (7f, AW) 21 days ago. Back down in trip, which may suit given how free he was last time. Only win was in C&D maiden; not so good over 6f/7f since; quite interesting back at 5f.
6	6 (6) (16/1 -33%) Henery Hawk	16 16/1(-33%)	(6) Henery Hawk 16/1, 9/1, seventh of 10 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago, slowly away and denied a clear run. Four wins on the AW, 0-17 on turf; fair run over C&D two runs back; others stronger.
2	2 (2) (16/1 -14%) Eeh Bah Gum	16 16/1(-14%)	(2) Eeh Bah Gum 16/1, C&D winner. Last of 7 in handicap at Yarmouth (5.2f, good, 14/1) 44 days ago. Tumbling in the weights but hard to support with confidence at present. Dual C&D winner in 2022; 14lb lower than for last win; below-par for new yard this term.
4	4 (4) (20/1 +0%) Whiskey Priest	20 20/1(+0%)	(4) Whiskey Priest 20/1, C&D winner. Bit below form sixth of 11 in handicap (14/1) at Thirsk (6f, good) 16 days ago. Now below last winning mark. Two wins on good to soft in 2023, second over C&D in September; not shown much this year.

15:30 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 5f Race Class Flow

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

KYBER CRYSTAL had Royal Duke (third) and Sixcor (sixth) behind when regaining the winning thread in this grade at Hamilton. Rebecca Menzies' five-year-old is a previous C&D winner and has lots in her favour to go in again, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Mrs Bagerran has had the selection behind her over track and trip the last twice and could prove to be the main threat as she remains in good heart.

KYBER CRYSTAL confirmed her resurgence post-breathing operation when successful at Hamilton 10 days ago and this in-form mare is taken to go in again under a 5 lb penalty. Mrs Bagerran and Sixcor can emerge as the main threats.

Although Mrs Beagerran has strong claims a chance is taken with ROYAL DUKE who is well drawn and still progressing.

1	1 (1) (11/10 +69%) Al Marmar	1.1 11/10(+69%)	(1) Al Marmar 11/10, Fairly useful gelding. Never involved when sixth of 11 in handicap (6/1) at Thirsk (7f, good to firm) 25 days ago. Up in trip. Fairly consistent in handicaps for this stable since the spring and has good claims here.
3	3 (3) (7/2 +36%) Million Thanks	3.5 7/2(+36%)	(3) Million Thanks 7/2, Fairly useful gelding. Course winner. Latest win at Pontefract in May. Followed a below-par effort with an even worse one when eleventh of 13 in handicap (33/1) at Pontefract (8f, good) 45 days ago. Has to be taken seriously in this grade for the first time. Not much has gone to plan since his winning seasonal debut in May; leap of faith needed.
4	4 (4) (7/2 +46%) Autumn Festival	3.5 7/2(+46%)	(4) Autumn Festival 7/2, Course winner. Thirteen runs since last win in 2023. Tailed off since reappearance this year, last of 10 in handicap (16/1) at Epsom (7f, heavy) 3 days ago. Back up in trip. Struggling for form at present so percentage call to look elsewhere. Placed in Thirsk Hunt Cup on seasonal debut but has looked badly out of sorts since.
6	6 (6) (7/1 -100%) Bint Al Karama	7 7/1(-100%)	(6) Bint Al Karama 7/1, Fair filly. Third of 9 in minor event at Krefeld (8.4f, good) when last seen 4 months ago. First run for yard after leaving Andreas Wohler (sold for just 1,000 gns). Market should be a good indicator as to what is expected. Placed on the Flat in Germany in the spring; makes her British debut here.
2	2 (2) (11/1 +31%) Midnight Lion	11 11/1(+31%)	(2) Midnight Lion 11/1, Fair gelding. Latest win at Newcastle in April. 15/2, last of 6 in seller at Hamilton (11.1f, good) 10 days ago, again proving keen. Back down in trip. Keen-going front-runner; won on AW in April but recently came last in a seller.

16:05 Musselburgh Seller (Class 4) 9f Race Class Flow

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

AL MARMAR finished midfield in a class 4 handicap at Thirsk last time and possibly brings the best most recent form into this contest. Gemma Tutty's five-year-old has his first attempt at this distance and he could be the one to beat. Bint Al Karama is an interesting contender on her first start for the Iain Jardine stable and it will be interesting if the market speaks in her favour. Of the remainder, Autumn Festival makes the most appeal.

Rebecca Menzies and Kaiya Fraser have enjoyed plenty of success in recent weeks and MILLION THANKS can add another to their tally dropping into this grade for the first time at the expense of Noble Anthem, who is declared to run over fences at Sedgefield on Tuesday but would be a big danger if rocking up here. Stable-switcher Bint Al Karama can fill out third.

This is probably a good opportunity for AL MARMAR, who has been quite consistent in fairly good handicaps since the spring.

4	4 (4) (7/1 +22%) Believe Me Now	7 7/1(+22%)	(4) Believe Me Now 7/1, Winning reappearance in novice company at Ayr in August. 7/4, sixth of 8 in handicap at this C&D (good to firm) 18 days ago, more patient tactics than usual perhaps against her. Winning start for Iain Jardine at Ayr (1m, good) in August; latest C&D effort not so good..
5	5 (5) (8/1 +33%) True Nation	8 8/1(+33%)	(5) True Nation 8/1, Winner at Nottingham in June. Ninth of 14 in handicap (4/1) at Beverley (8.4f, good to firm) 14 days ago, slowly away and racing lazily minus usual cheekpieces. Nottingham scorer (8.5f); form levels have dipped in last four starts; tough to recommend..
6	6 (6) (8/1 +43%) Doomsday	8 8/1(+43%)	(6) Doomsday 8/1, Off the mark for the season over 7f here in August. Below form sixth of 13 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (7.1f) 8 days ago. Others more persuasive. Front-runner; 7f course winner (classified) in August; touched off over C&D penultimate..
1	1 (1) (11/1 -10%) Bulls Aye	11 11/1(-10%)	(1) Bulls Aye 11/1, Unreliable type. Course winner. 7/1, 2½ lengths sixth of 9 to Zumaaty in handicap at Hamilton (8.3f, good) 9 days ago, running on. Down in grade but needs everything to fall right given run style. Slow starts have proved problematic, meaning he's always likely to be disadvantaged..

16:40 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 8f Race Class Flow

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

ZUMAATY escapes a penalty having defeated Temper Trap (second) when bouncing back to form in an apprentice handicap at Hamilton last Monday. Jim Goldie's gelding is fancied to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to further success. Angel Of The Bay arrives on the back of two creditable performances, including at Redcar in first-time blinkers, and he appeals most of the remainder.

ANGEL OF THE BAY would have finished closer than fourth with a clear run in a better handicap than this at Redcar last week and on that evidence, he looks ready to open his account. Zumaaty and Temper Trap filled the first 2 positions at Hamilton 9 days ago and from identical terms, they should be involved again.

The Hamilton rivals ZUMAATY and Temper Trap top the list. Jim Goldie's 6yo escapes a penalty for last week's apprentices' win.

2	2 (2) (7/2 -40%) Reel Her In	3.5 7/2(-40%)	(2) Reel Her In 7/2, Off 9 weeks from hurdling ahead of first run since leaving Gavin Patrick Cromwell, shaped encouragingly when fifth of 9 in handicap (16/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago. Can build on that effort to open her account. Promising fifth for current yard at Newcastle 20 days ago; bold showing is on the cards.
5	5 (5) (13/2 +0%) Crystal Guard	6.5 13/2(+0%)	(5) Crystal Guard 13/2, Recorded a first win on turf when successful at Ayr in June. Unsuited by slowly-run race when seventh of 9 in handicap (8/1) at Newcastle (16.2f) 20 days ago. Visor back on but needs things to drop right. Scored at Ayr in June and largely in good form since; possibilities with visor now fitted.

Still to register a victory but he arrives in good nick; shortlisted off the same mark.
3	3 (3) (16/1 -33%) Catrake Force	16 16/1(-33%)	(3) Catrake Force 16/1, Failed to come on for her recent run when seventh of 8 in handicap (18/1) at Wolverhampton (12.2f) 5 days ago.

17:15 Musselburgh Handicap (Class 6) 14f Race Class Flow

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

RORY THE CAT didn't appear to see out 2m2f here in the Portobello Cup last time but Lucinda Russell's charge, a C&D winner on his penultimate outing, can bounce back over this shorter trip. Bamboo Bay was on target at Redcar last month and is of obvious interest raised 3lb in the handicap. Reel Her In made a promising start for Ben Haslam at Newcastle and it would come as no surprise were she to take a step forward.

REEL HER IN showed promise on her stable debut when a staying-on fifth at Newcastle 20 days ago and, with more still to offer in handicaps on the Flat, she could be ready to get off the mark. Bamboo Bay has been going through a good spell and is feared most after his Redcar win, with Rory The Cat also considered.

Ben Haslam's ex-Irish recruit REEL HER IN (nap) shaped well when fifth at Newcastle last time out and can build on and get off the mark.

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.

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.
