Connections of LUNA MAGIC will have been cursing their luck after seeing the mare being beaten a neck in consecutive starts. This doesn't look the most competitive race, though, and it would be no surprise to see her get back in the winning groove. Just Hiss had been running to a consistent level prior to his below-par Catterick run and he must firmly enter the reckoning today, while Chinese Spirit heads the remainder.

If LUNA MAGIC is in the same form as when going close at Salisbury and Wolverhampton on her last 2 starts she stands a good chance of resuming winning ways. Chinese Spirit has been pretty reliable of late and is feared most back at the scene of his win in August. Just Hiss is another more than capable of making his presence felt at this level.

Thomas Easterby usually gets a good tune out of JUST HISS and last time was his first real blip since May.

Achnamara sets the standard with an official rating of 87, but the son of Kodiac has been largely out of form under both codes recently and preference is for EDGE OF DARKNESS. Charlie Johnston's charge receives 3lb from the former and his recent Redcar second would suggest he is the one to beat now eased into a seller. Skilled Warrior is not without a chance, but the remainder would need significant improvement.

This should concern the top 3 in the weights. EDGE OF DARKNESS has less to prove than former stablemate Achnamara and Grant Tuer's Skilled Warrior so he's the selection.

The 3yo EDGE OF DARKNESS went close in a handicap at Redcar nine days ago and this looks an excellent opportunity.

In a fairly open contest, a chance can be taken on HAVAGOMECCA. Michael Dods' mare hasn't been at her best recently, but she is now 4lb lower than when landing this corresponding event 12 months ago and might be revived by the return to this venue. Jordan Electrics ran a cracker to finish fourth under a penalty in the Ayr Bronze Cup last month and he rates the main danger back off his revised mark. Vadamiah should not be underestimated either.

LE BEAU GARCON was below his best over 6f at Wolverhampton on his latest outing 39 days ago, yet he'd previously been knocking firmly on the door from similar marks over the minimum trip, so he gets the narrow vote to bounce back. Jordan Electrics, Sugar Baby and Vadamiah are just a trio of others fancied to feature.

Topweight VADAMIAH (nap) ran well on her sole previous visit to Musselburgh and earns the vote on the back of her good second at Ripon.

Langholm has been a model of consistency over the past couple of months at Catterick and the seven-year-old is more than capable of another strong bid. Without Delay was beaten less than a length in third at Catterick last time and she is likely to be in the mix once again, but a chance is taken with MONAADHIL. A winner at Chelmsford last month, he hadn't been disgraced over C&D the time before and this appears to be a suitable opportunity for the nine-year-old.

LANGHOLM's losing run tempers enthusiasm but his consistency has been hard to knock this term, so he's given the nod stepping back up to 7f having a rare start away from Catterick. 3-y-o Cuban Rock and Without Delay are others to consider, whilst Impulsive Reaction is also worth keeping an eye on now his sights have been lowered.

This is a nowadays rare trip to somewhere other than Catterick for LANGHOLM but he's a strong candidate in view of his recent form.

MUBHIJAH clearly benefited from a change of scenery when running out a comfortable winner of a Carlisle maiden in August. The daughter of Shamardal may have benefited from that confidence booster and the switch to handicap company for the first time might yield further improvement. Glorious Angel has to be considered after her recent fourth at Ripon off a 1lb higher mark, while others to note are Rock Melody and Mersea.

MUBHIJAH deservedly opened her account in comfortable fashion on debut for Ed Walker at Carlisle 33 days ago and, from what rates a workable opening mark, she can make another bold bid from a handy draw. Mersea has been shaping as though a step up in trip is worth exploring and she's feared, with Shades of Summer another fancied to be in the shake-up.

The lightly raced 3yo SIBYL CHARM retains potential and is taken to make a winning start for Iain Jardine. Mubhijah is a danger.

LADY BRACKEN (second) had Cantalupo Bella (third) and Aighear (fourth) behind over 1m7f at Ayr last time and the three-year-old could improve for this further step up in distance. Therefore, she can confirm the form from that day and go one better to shed her maiden tag. Hellenista has dropped to an appealing mark and it would be foolish to dismiss her at this level.

CANTALUPO BELLA remains less exposed than most and again ran with credit whilst shaping as if a stronger gallop would have suited ideally when third at Ayr (15f) 13 days ago. Equipped with a first-time visor, she could be the answer returned to this longer trip. Hellenista will appreciate this ease in class and along with Lady Bracken heads the dangers.

This step back up in trip could be just what KINDGIRL needs and she is taken to get off the mark. Cantalupo Bella is a threat.

HE'S AN ANGEL has run well the last twice at Newcastle, including over this distance on his penultimate start, and the son of Harry Angel is only 1lb higher than both of those efforts. He could find the required improvement to record his first career success today. Last-time-out Hamilton winner Ski Angel heads the dangers, as she only competes off a 2lb higher mark, while Doctor Mozart is also of interest sporting first-time cheekpieces.

SKI ANGEL is building up a decent record in handicaps and a 2 lb nudge for Hamilton may not prevent her going in again from a handy draw towards the rail. Sherdil really should be up to going close in a Class 6 and is second choice ahead of He's An Angel, who has been shaping up quite well but will need things to drop right if he starts slowly again.

The consistent MRS BAGERRAN likes it here and can add to her C&D win in June. The in-form He's An Angel is second choice.
