PRIMO’S COMET – Musselburgh 3.25 (2.5pts win – 5/1)
PRIMO’S COMET has a five from 17 record at Musselburgh (+£21.00 to a £1 level stake at SP) and is 0-19 at other turf venues. Ignoring his runs in Class 2 or 3 company improves his Musselburgh record to five from 13, and knocking out the runs in double-digit line-ups improves it further to 71115131 (5-8) for a profit of £30.00.
All the defeats can be excused – he was persistently denied a clearly passage when a 16-1 seventh of nine, stumbled on leaving the stalls when fifth of six and fared best of those ridden patiently and again met trouble when a three-quarters of a length third of eight. He looks set to encounter the required strong gallop despite facing only five rivals today and should go close at least with a clear passage.

BOSSIPOP – Musselburgh 3.25 (0.5pt win – 11/1)
BOSSIPOP beat only one home at Pontefract on his return to action but was 66-1 in a Class 2 contest and will be happier back down in grade and in a smaller field. Last year, he was beaten by 23 lengths into 12th place on his reappearance but was short-headed at 28-1 when dropped to Class 4 level (today’s grade) for his second start, and in 2020 he was eighth of 11 on his return to action before landing a Class 4 handicap at the second time of asking. I’ve had a saver.

WALKING ON GLASS – 6.00 Punchestown (1pt each-way – 25/1)
WALKING ON GLASS was almost 14 lengths behind the winner when a 20-1 fifth of 14 in a 2m handicap at Dundalk last time (March 4th) but raced hard up against the far side rail in the straight where the Polytrack surface was slower and could never strike a blow.
All his wins have come in late spring or summer – he has form figures from March to June of 5122041017217 (4-13) for a profit of £43.50 to a £1 level stake at SP – and he was first past the post in a 3m2f handicap hurdle here on his second run back last spring (subsequently demoted to second).
