1	3 1st (3) (5/1 -122%) Half Shot		5 5/1(-122%)																															(3) Half Shot 5/1, Dual winner last term who ended campaign with fine seventh from out of the handicap in Scottish National in April. Looked as good as ever when just beaten on Kelso reappearance (26.2f) and shaped as if still in good form before unseating at Canal Turn at Aintree 3 weeks ago. Unseated latest but very much entitled to consideration despite his career high mark..
2	5 2nd (5) (10/3 -11%) Inis Oirr		3.333333 10/3(-11%)																															(5) Inis Oirr 10/3, Came good at fourth attempt over hurdles in February, landing a class 2 novice here (23.8f). Jumping well until bad mistake (possibly unsighted by glare of sun) and unseating rider at Kelso on return/chase debut. Not seen to best effect under a change of tactics at Carlisle since and can do better. 3m hurdle winner here; may need to be fairly close to the pace to be seen to best effect..
3	11 3rd (11) (28/1 +30%) The Vollan		28 28/1(+30%)																															(11) The Vollan 28/1, Hasn't tasted success since landing a small-field Kelso handicap chase (23.4f, good to firm) 13 months ago and failed to build on the promise of previous run when well held at Fakenham last time. Handy mark; if latest effort is forgiven, he has frame possibilities..
4	8 4th (8) (3/1 +60%) Concetto		3 3/1(+60%)																															(8) Concetto 3/1, Well held hurdling runs but proved a totally different proposition sent chasing, scoring on handicap debut at Huntingdon before following up at Musselburgh. Well held on reappearance but better than bare result at Ludlow since (let down by jumping). Tongue strap on 1st time. C&D winner who is on a competitive mark if a tongue-tie can help revive him..
5th	2 5th (2) (11/2 +27%) Archies Charm		5.5 11/2(+27%)																															(2) Archies Charm 11/2, Some good efforts in defeat last season but not quite in same form this time around. Others look better treated. Irish raider; made the frame at Down Royal last time; each-way player.
6th	7 6th (7) (12/1 -60%) Methodtothemadness		12 12/1(-60%)																															(7) Methodtothemadness 12/1, Won 3 times last season, including back-to-back successes over C&D in February. Well held next 2 starts but return to this track is a plus after 6 months off. Dual C&D winner who goes well when fresh and should be competitive from this mark..
7th	1 7th (1) (13/2 -18%) Magna Sam		6.5 13/2(-18%)																															(1) Magna Sam 13/2, Better than ever after 9 months off on his yard debut when landing Edinburgh National here (31.5f) in February. Excellent fifth in Scottish National at Ayr final start. Is 3 from 3 here and big shout back down in class. Goes well here and when fresh; competitive mark for this reappearance; player..
8th	6 8th (6) (18/1 -29%) Tim Pat		18 18/1(-29%)																															(6) Tim Pat 18/1, Completed a hat-trick at Haydock in early 2022 but winless since and well held last 4 starts, including return. Change of headgear. Others are preferred. Out of sorts of late; blinkers now applied; handy mark if he is revived..
9th	9 9th (9) (40/1 -186%) Pookie Pekan		40 40/1(-186%)																															(9) Pookie Pekan 40/1, Wide-margin winner over C&D almost 2 years ago but well held both starts since and returning from long absence here (19 months). Has won after a break but majority of such form suggests he might be better for this run..
4	4 |PU| (4) (25/1 +11%) Burbank		25 25/1(+11%)																															(4) Burbank 25/1, Back to form from out of the blue when springing a 33/1 surprise in 26.5f Perth handicap hurdle in April, benefiting from an enterprising ride. Shaped as if badly in need of the run after 5 months off at Bangor 8 weeks ago and hard to know what to expect back over fences. Formerly smart chaser; hard to be confident but a possible player if allowed to dominate..

LTO Selection:

14:45 Musselburgh Handicap Chase (Class 3) 24f Race Class Flow

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

HALF SHOT has recorded some fair form in deeper contests and could put his mishap, when unseating his rider in the Grand Sefton at Aintree recently, behind him at this lower level. Irish raider Archies Charm has posted creditable efforts in defeat at Gowran and Down Royal in recent months and the eight-year-old may give the selection most to think about, ahead of Inis Oirr.

MAGNA SAM couldn't have enjoyed much more of an upturn than he did in a couple of outings for Alastair Ralph last term, winning here in February before an excellent fifth in the Scottish National at Ayr (shaped second best for much of the way), and he can make it 4 from 4 at this track back down in class. Half Shot looks set for another good season, while Inis Oirr remains with potential in this sphere.

One of few who don't have anything to prove is MAGNA SAM, who goes well here, when fresh and remains of interest from this mark.

1	6 1st (6) (6/1 +14%) Sanosuke		6 6/1(+14%)																															(6) Sanosuke 6/1, Fairly useful on the Flat in Ireland and he strung a couple of good efforts together over hurdles at Perth during the spring, twice filling the runners-up spot. Stepped up on return when fifth of 13 over C&D 22 days ago but more is needed if he's to open his account in this sphere. Placed six times at up to 2m4f; on a competitive mark but has to prove he gets this trip..
2	4 2nd (4) (3/1 -9%) Rickety Gate		3 3/1(-9%)																															(4) Rickety Gate 3/1, C&D winner in 2022 and ran creditably in latest renewal of that race 22 days ago, running on. Should give another good account. C&D winner; last two wins gained when racing prominently; each-way player..
3	3 3rd (3) (13/2 +84%) Round The Buoy		6.5 13/2(+84%)																															(3) Round The Buoy 13/2, Fair winning hurdler for David Dunne. Yet to fire for current yard but hinted at a revival at Chepstow last time and market support would make him interesting. Handy mark and back over a suitable trip, he'd be of interest if there is support for him..
4	9 4th (9) (17/2 +15%) Blended Stealth		8.5 17/2(+15%)																															(9) Blended Stealth 17/2, Remains a maiden after 22 NH runs but is best excused his most recent outing at Hexham, having gone off too hard. Significantly back up in trip. Each-way player on his best run for this trainer but hard to fancy on his form since..
5th	7 5th (7) (7/2 +50%) Theirshegoes		3.5 7/2(+50%)																															(7) Theirshegoes 7/2, Took a step forward despite still doing plenty wrong under pressure when third on handicap debut at Perth in April. Decent fourth at Newcastle last time and shaped as if needing the run when fifth at Kelso (25.8f) on last month's return. Yard going better now and needs considering. Yard in better form now and no surprise if she begins to fulfil her potential..
6th	11 6th (11) (28/1 -100%) Misscarlett		28 28/1(-100%)																															(11) Misscarlett 28/1, Placed twice over hurdles last spring but well beaten both starts back on the level since, so has something to prove. Losing run now at 11 but has to be considered an each-way player back in this discipline..
7th	1 7th (1) (16/1 -33%) Champ Royal		16 16/1(-33%)																															(1) Champ Royal 16/1, Looked better than ever when making a winning start for this yard at Hexham in October. Isn't the most consistent though and followed that with a below-par display back there last time. Dual soft-ground 2m7f winner; disappointed latest but each-way player if bouncing back..
8th	8 8th (8) (11/2 +21%) Shantou Moon		5.5 11/2(+21%)																															(8) Shantou Moon 11/2, Backed at long odds equipped with first-time cheekpieces and ran out a clear winner of a Kelso handicap hurdle in February. Followed that with a couple of creditable efforts in defeat and shaped as if better for the run on recent return at aforementioned venue. Blinkers on for 1st time. 2m6f winner but handicapper in control since; blinkers need to have a positive effect..
9th	10 9th (10) (28/1 -75%) Kurphy		28 28/1(-75%)																															(10) Kurphy 28/1, Well held in bumpers/all 3 starts over hurdles, though showed a bit more last time and may make more impact now handicapping up markedly in trip. Lowly mark and more suitable trip for her handicap debut; no surprise if she improves..
10th	2 10th (2) (20/1 -567%) Native Fighter		20 20/1(-567%)																															(2) Native Fighter 20/1, Eleven runs since last win in 2021 but stopped the slide with cheekpieces refitted when second in 9-runner handicap at Cartmel (22.1f, soft) in August. On a good mark, so big chance if building on that. Went close to ending a drought at Cartmel (2m6f) in August; has won when fresh; player..
5	5 |PU| (5) (22/1 -100%) The Blame Game		22 22/1(-100%)																															(5) The Blame Game 22/1, All 3 career victories gained at Sedgefield, capitalising on a falling mark there (3m3f) in February. Found to be lame when pulled up at Kelso 3 months later and off since. Cheekpieces back on. Has a bit to prove on return from layoff, not least his ability from this mark..

LTO Selection:

15:20 Musselburgh Handicap Hurdle (Class 5) 24f Race Class Flow

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

C&D winner RICKETY GATE ran arguably his best race to date when finishing third over track and trip earlier in the month and a similar level of performance dropping in grade may suffice. Shantou Moon is entitled to improve on his reappearance fifth over 2m5f at Kelso recently, with this stiffer test of stamina expected to suit. Tristan Davidson's inmate shouldn't be underestimated, while Native Fighter and Misscarlett won't be far away either.

The Sandy Thomson stable has been showing much better signs in recent days, so THEIRSHEGOES gets the nod to build on an encouraging return at Kelso and open her account. Native Fighter hasn't won for a long time but stopped the slide at Cartmel in August and is too well handicapped to ignore. C&D winner Rickety Gate completes the shortlist.

The mare THEIRSHEGOES has laid down a marker for this and represents a trainer whose string look to be back in good form.

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.
