14:15 – EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes (Bands C And D) (EBF Restricted Race Qualifier) (GBB Race)
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 2.15, 3.15 & 4.15 +7yds and 3.45 +14yds) (Good, good to soft in places (rail movements) | | flat
This revolves around a couple with solid experience against a short-priced newcomer who could easily be a bit better than these. Vegasmile heads the market for Karl Burke from stall 1 and, in a restricted maiden, that stable’s debutants always command respect. Still, there is substance to the claims of Sweet Iris and Inns And Out, who bring the best established ratings into the race and have at least shown they can cope in ordinary juvenile company. Gordons Girl is another interesting debutante for David O’Meara, while Wild Orchid has a fair bit more ability than her price suggests if stepping forward again. It’s not a deep maiden, but it is slightly tricker than the odds imply because the favourite has to do it first time out over a stiff enough 7f for a juvenile.
Top Selections
1. Sweet Iris – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Oisin Orr | Trainer: Richard & Peter Fahey | Form: 025 | Rating: 75 | Topspeed: 32
Sweet Iris has the best published rating in the field and, more importantly, she has already shown enough in three runs to suggest a race like this should be well within range. That second-place finish reads particularly well in the context of a restricted maiden, and even her latest fifth was hardly a disaster if you take the view that she has been learning on the job rather than going backwards. Oisin Orr is a positive booking for a yard that does well with these northern juveniles, and 9/2 looks perfectly fair given she sets the standard among the runners with form. She holds strong claims if handling this 7f efficiently. Bet type: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Wild Orchid – 11/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Sam James | Trainer: Charlie Johnston | Form: 47 | Rating: 63 | Topspeed: 48
Wild Orchid is the each-way play because she has a bit more substance to her profile than the market is giving her credit for. Her form figures of 47 are not flashy, but a mark of 63 and a Topspeed of 48 put her in the conversation, especially in a race where several are either unproven or look limited. Charlie Johnston’s youngsters often improve for experience, and the move into this restricted company could be the key angle after facing stronger opposition. At 11/1 she looks the value if settling and seeing out the 7f strongly, and she doesn’t need a huge step forward to get involved in the places. Bet type: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Sweet Iris is the percentage call on known form and makes most appeal as the win bet at 9/2. Wild Orchid is the each-way punt at 11/1 in a 10-runner race with three places on offer, as she has more going for her than those odds suggest. The obvious danger is Vegasmile, who could simply be above-average for this level on debut, while Gordons Girl also warrants a close look in the market.

14:45 – National Racehorse Week Nursery Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 2.15, 3.15 & 4.15 +7yds and 3.45 +14yds) (Good, good to soft in places (rail movements) | | flat
This looks a fairly ordinary juvenile nursery rather than a deep one, and that usually means a touch of pragmatism is needed. Lauralynn and Spectacular Diver are the obvious pair on what they’ve already shown, with both arriving off solid placed efforts and both looking well suited by a sharp 5f test. Needin’ U is more interesting than the bare form figures suggest now handicapping for the first time, while Aodhan also has some scope after shaping a bit better than the result on his latest outing. At the other end, several of these have had chances and need to find more than a little. In a race lacking much strength in depth, a good position early and the ability to travel at this speed track could easily prove decisive.
Top Selections
1. Lauralynn – 15/8 with Betfair
Jockey: Zak Wheatley | Trainer: Declan Carroll | Form: 32173 | Rating: 64 | Topspeed: 54
Lauralynn makes most appeal because she has already shown she can win and, just as importantly in a race like this, she’s been holding her form. That 32173 sequence reads well enough for a Class 6 nursery and her mark of 64 doesn’t look harsh judged on the pick of those efforts. She wasn’t disgraced when third last time and this looks a slightly easier spot than some she has contested. Declan Carroll’s runners are often straightforward in these sprint handicaps and she has the profile of one who should cope well around Musselburgh. At 15/8 she isn’t a giveaway, but she still looks the most solid option. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Aodhan – 6/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: David Nolan | Trainer: Rebecca Menzies | Form: 804 | Rating: 69 | Topspeed: 52
Aodhan is the each-way alternative because he’s a bit less exposed than plenty of these and there was at least a hint of promise in that latest fourth. He has to give a pound to Lauralynn and shares top weight territory with some more obvious rivals, so he does need to improve, but this is only his first crack in a nursery after three educational runs. Rebecca Menzies and David Nolan are more than capable of landing races of this nature, and in a shallow enough contest it wouldn’t take a dramatic step forward for him to hit the frame. Available at 6/1, he looks the value each-way punt against the shorter-priced pair. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Lauralynn is the percentage call and makes the most sense as the win bet in a race where solid, recent sprint form counts for plenty. Aodhan is the each-way play at 6/1, mainly on the basis that handicaps can unlock improvement and this doesn’t look a demanding Class 6. Spectacular Diver is the obvious danger after his latest third and is hard to leave out of calculations.

15:15 – Thomson Bethune Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 2.15, 3.15 & 4.15 +7yds and 3.45 +14yds) (Good, good to soft in places (rail movements) | | flat
This looks a perfectly ordinary three-year-old Class 6 on paper, but it is not lacking in angles. Amber Hamur arrives on the up after back-to-back wins and is the obvious one to beat despite a lofty mark and big weight, while Trucial Pearl is a very live danger from the foot of the weights after solid recent efforts in similar company. Only Dream Big has the draw and a useful topspeed figure to make him interesting, and Balmoral Boy is another who has been knocking on the door. The rest have bits and pieces of form, but several need to bounce back. In short, the favourite sets the standard, though this is not the sort of race where you would call it bombproof.
Top Selections
1. Amber Hamur – 11/8 with Betfair
Jockey: Connor Beasley | Trainer: Edward Bethell | Form: -46211 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 58
Amber Hamur has done nothing wrong lately and is the one they all have to lower colours to. Those last two wins suggest she has finally learned her job, and Bethell’s horses are usually well placed when they get into this grade. The slight concern is obvious enough: she is now up to a mark of 78 and shoulders 135, which is no gift in a race like this. Even so, from stall 2 with Connor Beasley booked, she should get a sensible trip round here and can keep progressing. At 11/8 she is not a giveaway, but she is still the likeliest winner. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Trucial Pearl – 7/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Joanna Mason | Trainer: Michael & David Easterby | Form: 365314 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 66
Trucial Pearl makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race where a few of these are weighted to the hilt. She gets in here carrying just 119, has been holding her form well, and that recent sequence says she is running consistently without looking exposed. The fourth last time was no backward step, and her rating of 74 makes her competitive if she gets a decent tow into the race from the widest stall. Joanna Mason is more than capable of delivering her late, and in an eight-runner field with three places on offer, 7/2 is fair enough for a filly with solid claims of hitting the frame and possibly better. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Amber Hamur is the win play because she is the progressive one and comes here with the clearest upward profile. Trucial Pearl is the each-way option thanks to her low weight and consistent recent form. The main dangers look to be Only Dream Big from stall 1 and Balmoral Boy, who is well treated on the figures if building on that latest second.

15:45 – Portobello Cup Handicap (GBBPlus Race)
Race Details: 2m 2f | Class 4 | Going: 2.15, 3.15 & 4.15 +7yds and 3.45 +14yds) (Good, good to soft in places (rail movements) | | flat
This is a proper staying handicap rather than a penalty kick, with several arriving in form and a few of them still looking fairly treated over this sort of trip. Florida Dreams is the obvious starting point after shaping well in three runs this season and he’s no surprise to see towards the head of the market, while Vaguely Royal comes here on the back of a quick-fire double and clearly has momentum. Inappropriate and Newport also won last time and both have claims if backing that up. Then you’ve got the likes of Is She Now and Ned Broy, who are consistent enough to get involved if the race turns tactical. It looks competitive rather than deep, and I’d be siding with proven recent staying form over pure speed figures.
Top Selections
1. Florida Dreams – 3/1 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Kevin Stott | Trainer: Sandy Thomson | Form: 535 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 81
Florida Dreams has only had three runs this year but there was enough in those efforts to think a race like this is well within reach. The topspeed figure of 81 is right up there in this field and he’s been contesting races that suggest this mark of 84 is workable if he gets a solid test at 2m2f. Sandy Thomson’s runner is an eight-year-old, so there’s no mystery left, but that can be no bad thing in these staying handicaps at Musselburgh where rhythm and resolution matter. At 3/1 he isn’t exactly hidden, but he still looks the one with the fewest holes. Bet type tag: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Newport – 17/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Oisin Orr | Trainer: Iain Jardine | Form: 00/541 | Rating: 87 | Topspeed: 77
Newport makes plenty of each-way appeal after getting back on track with that latest win, and the market may still be catching up given Paddy Power’s 17/2. He’s one of the more interesting runners in the field because the bare form figures don’t tell the whole story after that break, and the recent success hinted that he may now be arriving at full fitness. Oisin Orr is a positive booking for a horse who can sometimes need delivering at the right time, and this track can suit that style if the leaders overdo it. He’s not bombproof off 87, but he looks overpriced compared to a few shorter ones. Bet type tag: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Florida Dreams is the win play because he brings the most solid blend of current promise and staying credentials. Newport is the each-way punt at the bigger price, especially with three places on offer. The obvious dangers are Vaguely Royal, who is thriving, and Inappropriate, who arrives here after doing the job last time and could easily follow up if the race falls right.

16:15 – AAB Group And Bibby Financial Services Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 6 | Going: 2.15, 3.15 & 4.15 +7yds and 3.45 +14yds) (Good, good to soft in places (rail movements) | | flat
This is a proper Musselburgh handicap puzzle rather than a race full of certainties, with several arriving in form and a few well treated on old figures. Monhammer comes here on a hat-trick after back-to-back wins, while Luminous Warrior is also thriving and Novak has been knocking loudly on the door from a handy low draw. Edmond Halley heads the market after a couple of solid placed efforts and looks the type to be well found, but he is far from bombproof in a race where a lot of these have similar profiles. Coconut Bay is another with recent consistency on his side, and Vince Le Prince is not without hope despite the awkward stall. In short, it looks competitive, tactical, and the draw could matter over this sharp 7f.
Top Selections
1. Novak – 13/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Andrew Mullen | Trainer: Iain Jardine | Form: 523442 | Rating: 79 | Topspeed: 64
Novak is the one I want on side. He has been running with real credit in similar company, finishing second last time after a string of solid efforts, and stall 1 is exactly where you want to be around here if he can hold a handy position. He is not a horse who hides much from the assessor, but this mark looks workable and his consistency counts for plenty in a race full of in-and-outers. Andrew Mullen knows him well, and at 13/2 he makes more appeal than some shorter-priced rivals who arrive with a bit more guesswork attached. He holds strong claims if getting the breaks at the right time. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Sir David – 10/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Alex Jary | Trainer: Nigel Tinkler | Form: 082931 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 69
Sir David looks the each-way value. He got his head back in front last time and that performance was backed up by a useful Topspeed figure of 69, the best in this field. That immediately gives him a shout in a race at this level, especially with Alex Jary taking over for a yard that can do well with these tough sprinter-milers in northern handicaps. He is not as sexy a profile as Monhammer or Luminous Warrior, but he is drawn well enough in 6 and arrives in form, which counts for plenty at Musselburgh. Available at 10/1, he makes obvious each-way appeal in an 11-runner field. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Novak is the win play from the inside draw, with his recent consistency making him the percentage call. Sir David is the each-way punt at double-figure odds, especially with that standout Topspeed figure giving him a solid chance of hitting the frame. The obvious dangers are Edmond Halley, who is sure to be popular, and the thriving pair Monhammer and Luminous Warrior.

16:45 – Mediterranean Shipping Company Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 6 | Going: 2.15, 3.15 & 4.15 +7yds and 3.45 +14yds) (Good, good to soft in places (rail movements) | | flat
This looks a tight little sprint rather than a deep one, and with only six runners there should be no hiding place. South Parade arrives off a win and is the obvious one for the market to latch onto, but he is not thrown in off 75 and this race has a few battle-hardened sprinters lurking around him. Zuffolo also comes here on the back of a success and is drawn on the rail, while Albegone has been knocking on the door in similar company without quite getting his head in front. Jojo Rabbit has the raw pace figures to get involved if bouncing back, but his recent form is less persuasive. In a race where track position and a clean break will matter plenty, it feels competitive enough to oppose a short one.
Top Selections
1. Zuffolo – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Rhys Elliott | Trainer: Michael Dods | Form: 820831 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 62
Zuffolo makes plenty of appeal here. He got the job done last time and, crucially in a race of this nature, he has the inside draw to grab a handy position from the outset. His overall profile says he is not bombproof, but that latest win suggests he is in the right groove and he runs here only 1lb lower than South Parade despite being a much bigger price. Michael Dods knows the time of day with these northern sprinters, and this looks the sort of contest where a sharp 5f specialist can nick it by holding the rail. At 4/1 with Bet365, he looks the value against shorter rivals. End with a proper pace edge and he can take this.
Bet: WIN
2. Albegone – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: Jake Dickson | Trainer: Tim Easterby | Form: 237265 | Rating: 76 | Topspeed: 69
Albegone is an old sprinter but he remains thoroughly competitive at this level, and in a six-runner race that counts for plenty. His recent form figures do not scream certainty, yet they do show a horse holding his level in similar races, and that Topspeed mark of 69 is right up there with the best on offer. He is another drawn low, which should help around Musselburgh, and Tim Easterby runners in these sprint handicaps are rarely dismissed lightly. The slight concern is whether he finds enough off this mark to actually win, but 9/2 with Bet365 is fair enough for a solid each-way punt in a race lacking depth beyond the obvious names.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Zuffolo is the win play, chiefly because the draw and recent win make him look well set up for a race where fractions will matter. Albegone is the each-way alternative at a workable price, especially with his figures holding up well in this company. South Parade is the danger after scoring last time, while Jojo Rabbit is capable of outrunning recent form if reviving.
