13:50 – Champagne Pommery Brut Rose Handicap
Race Details: 1m | Class 6 | Going: 1.50, 2.50, 3.20, 4.24 & 4.54 -7yds) (Good (goingstick 7.6) (watered) (rail movements) | | flat
This doesn’t look a deep Class 6 by any means, but it is competitive enough with several arriving in decent nick. Falcon Nine has been knocking hard on the door and sets the standard on recent consistency, while Samra Star comes here off a win and has the inside draw to work from. Gemini Man is another who shaped well last time and looks firmly in the mix if building on that second, whereas Miners Gamble has the rating to feature but not the recent profile to trust completely. Over a mile at Musselburgh, track position and pace matter, and in a seven-runner race there should be no hiding place. It’s not a race full of upside, but there are solid enough form lines to work with.
Top Selections
1. Falcon Nine – 5/2 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Iain Jardine | Form: 724922 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 67
Falcon Nine is becoming expensive to follow, but this looks a very fair opportunity to cash in on that run of near-misses. He’s been operating consistently in similar company, his mark of 73 is workable in this grade, and that Topspeed figure of 67 is the best in the field. The latest pair of seconds suggest he’s holding his form really well rather than going backwards, and Shoemark is a positive booking for a horse who should be travelling strongly into this. At around 5/2, he isn’t a giveaway, but he is the one with the most solid claims and the one I’d want onside. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Gemini Man – 4/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Jack Nicholls | Trainer: Iain Jardine | Form: 211P92 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 62
Gemini Man looks the value alternative, especially if you think the latest second signalled a return to his best after a slightly mixed spell. He’s an eight-year-old now, so there are no secrets, but he has enough back-class for this sort of race and is 3lb lower than Falcon Nine. The recent form string includes two wins earlier in the campaign, and this grade is certainly within range when things fall right. From stall 4 he ought to get a handy position, and at 4/1 he makes more each-way appeal than some of the shorter ones in the market. In a race lacking depth, he’s a sensible each-way punt.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Falcon Nine is the percentage call and makes most appeal as the win bet given his consistency and superior recent figures. Gemini Man is the each-way option at a fairer price, especially with three places on offer in a seven-runner field. Samra Star is the obvious danger after that latest win, while Miners Gamble is respected on ratings but needs to show more than he has lately.

14:20 – British Stallion Studs EBF Novice Stakes (GBB/IRE Incentive Race)
Race Details: 5f | Class 2 | Going: 1.50, 2.50, 3.20, 4.24 & 4.54 -7yds) (Good (goingstick 7.6) (watered) (rail movements) | | flat
This may only be a five-runner novice, but it looks a pretty sharp little sprint. Barnaby Rudge brings the obvious winning habit after going 2-2, while Faith In Florence sets the standard on bare figures and receives weight as the sole filly in the field. Minster Man also enters the reckoning after a promising debut second and could easily step forward for Robert Cowell in a race likely to be run at a proper clip over this sharp Musselburgh five. The other pair, My Mate Fitz and newcomer Sod Hall Lane, have plenty to find on what we know. It is not an impossible puzzle, but there are two proper contenders here and very little margin for error in a sprint this short.
Top Selections
1. Faith In Florence – 6/4 with Bet365
Jockey: Kieran Shoemark | Trainer: Ed Walker | Form: 42 | Rating: 91 | Topspeed: 63
Faith In Florence looks the percentage call. Her form figures of 4 and 2 do not scream superstar, but that second effort has given her a lofty mark of 91 and, crucially in this small field, she gets in with just 125lb. In a race where fractions and early sharpness will matter, that weight pull against the colts could be significant. Ed Walker’s juveniles are rarely overfaced and Kieran Shoemark is the right man for a sharp five-round here. Barnaby Rudge is respected for his unbeaten record, but at the prices Faith In Florence makes slightly more appeal and still has the profile of a progressive sort. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Faith In Florence is the win bet. The weight concession and strongest published rating make her very hard to ignore in a contest that should be decided by fine margins. Barnaby Rudge is the clear danger with his unbeaten record, while Minster Man is the one who could outrun his price if improving from debut.

14:50 – Copper Blossom Ladies Day Nursery Selling Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 5 | Going: 1.50, 2.50, 3.20, 4.24 & 4.54 -7yds) (Good (goingstick 7.6) (watered) (rail movements) | | flat
This five-runner nursery seller doesn’t look deep, but it is quite an interesting little puzzle because a few arrive with different profiles. Bigalo sets the standard on official figures and has been knocking on the door, while Bluestone Lady comes here off a win and has clearly learned her job. Amantha has the best Topspeed figure in the field and gets in with just 124, so she’s not easily dismissed either. Extended Order is the expensive question mark after a bright start and a poor latest run, while Bella Lucia is still a maiden but has shown enough to suggest she can be competitive in a race of this nature. In a small field over 7f at Musselburgh, track position and straightforward professionalism could decide plenty.
Top Selections
1. Bigalo – 11/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Joanna Mason | Trainer: Roger Fell | Form: 69722 | Rating: 80 | Topspeed: 59
Bigalo is the percentage call. He brings the highest rating in the field, has the plum draw in stall 1, and his recent form figures of 22 suggest his turn is very near. Those runner-up efforts came after looking a bit raw earlier in the campaign, so there is a fair chance he is simply improving into this sort of race now. In a seller-nursery like this, solid recent form often counts for plenty, and Roger Fell’s juvenile looks the one with the fewest questions to answer. At 11/8 he is no giveaway, but he does look the likeliest winner if getting a clean run from the rail. Bet: WIN
Betting Strategy
Keep it simple in a five-runner race: Bigalo is the win bet and there’s no each-way angle worth forcing. He has the best recent profile and should get a good tactical trip from stall 1. Bluestone Lady is the obvious danger after her latest success, while Amantha is the one who could outrun her price if building on recent efforts.

15:20 – Champagne Pommery Cuvee Louise Gold Cup Handicap
Race Details: 7f | Class 4 | Going: 1.50, 2.50, 3.20, 4.24 & 4.54 -7yds) (Good (goingstick 7.6) (watered) (rail movements) | | flat
This is a proper little Musselburgh handicap, with a mix of progressive 3yos and battle-hardened older sprinters stretching their speed over 7f. Eagle Bay heads the market after winning his last two and is the obvious one to beat despite a wide draw, while Jonny Concrete arrives off a deserved success and should give another solid account. Passing Thought has a touch of class if forgiving a flop last time, and old boy Gweedore is far too well known around these turning tracks to dismiss lightly. Still, this looks a slightly tricky puzzle rather than a penalty kick, with draw, pace and tactical positioning over this sharp 7f likely to have a major say.
Top Selections
1. Eagle Bay – 11/4 with Betfair
Jockey: Sean D Bowen | Trainer: Harriet Bethell | Form: 3-11 | Rating: 95 | Topspeed: 68
He is the progressive one in the field and that counts for plenty in a race like this. Two wins from his last two starts tells its own story, and a 3yo rated 95 getting in here off 136 has an obvious chance if he keeps improving at the same rate. The draw in 11 is not ideal around Musselburgh, but he has the tactical pace to get himself into the race and his profile is much less exposed than plenty of these. At 11/4 he is no giveaway, but he still makes the most appeal as the one runner who may simply be better than a Class 4 handicap in due course. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Ashen – 16/1 with Betfair
Jockey: Lauren Young | Trainer: Jim Goldie | Form: 313420 | Rating: 90 | Topspeed: 86
Ashen is the each-way play at the prices because he is far more interesting than the market suggests. His topspeed figure of 86 is the best in the field, he is well berthed in stall 1 for a track where that can matter, and he gets in with just 124. The latest run can be forgiven if you are taking a slightly kinder view, because his earlier efforts this season were competitive in similar company and he has enough pace for this sharp test. Jim Goldie’s runners are always worth respecting at these Scottish meetings, and 16/1 looks big if Ashen gets the run of the race from the inside. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Eagle Bay is the win play because he has the strongest upside and looks the most likely improver in the field. Ashen is the each-way punt at a much bigger price, with his draw, light weight and strong topspeed figure all working in his favour. Jonny Concrete is the obvious danger, while Passing Thought is capable of bouncing back if settling better than last time.

15:50 – Champagne Pommery Brut Royal Handicap
Race Details: 5f | Class 4 | Going: 1.50, 2.50, 3.20, 4.24 & 4.54 -7yds) (Good (goingstick 7.6) (watered) (rail movements) | | flat
This is a compact six-runner sprint but it is not lacking depth. Woohoo brings the standout recent profile after a string of seconds and is clearly the one they all have to beat, while Montezuma arrives off the back of another solid effort and looks the main threat if this sets up for a strong-travelling finisher. Jer Batt has been knocking on the door without quite getting his head in front, and Big Fun is the less exposed 3yo in the line-up, so there are a few moving parts despite the small field. Musselburgh’s sharp 5f can reward early pace and track position, but in a race like this the balance between speed and current wellbeing should decide it. It looks competitive, though not impossible to solve.
Top Selections
1. Woohoo – 15/8 with Bet365
Jockey: Lauren Young | Trainer: Jim Goldie | Form: 272222 | Rating: 92 | Topspeed: 87
There is an obvious frustration with Woohoo in that she keeps finding one too good, but the upside is equally obvious: she is running to a very solid level time and again and sets the standard on both rating and Topspeed. A mark of 92 would usually make life tough in this grade, yet she is getting in here off just 128 and that leaves her looking very well treated at the weights. Jim Goldie’s sprinters are always worth respecting around these sharp northern tracks and if Lauren Young can keep her within striking distance, she should take plenty of pegging back. At 15/8, she is short enough, but still hard to oppose.
Bet: WIN
2. Big Fun – 5/1 with Bet365
Jockey: Tom Eaves | Trainer: Kevin Ryan | Form: 217-47 | Rating: 84 | Topspeed: 73
For an each-way angle in a six-runner race, Big Fun makes more appeal than the obvious older exposed types. He is a 3yo with a bit of upside, drawn on the inside in stall 1, and that can be a major asset over this bare 5f if Tom Eaves is sharp from the gates. His last two runs have not screamed winner, but this is only his fifth start and he could still have more to offer than his opening mark of 84 suggests. Kevin Ryan knows what is required with sprinters and this track should suit a horse ridden positively. Available at 5/1, he looks the value alternative if the favourite underdelivers again.
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Woohoo is the straightforward win play because she is the class act in the field and keeps running well enough to land one of these. For the each-way option, Big Fun makes most appeal as the unexposed runner with a good draw and potential to improve. Montezuma is the obvious danger, while Jer Batt is another who could easily hit the frame again without necessarily winning.

16:24 – Brodie Handicap
Race Details: 1m 5f | Class 5 | Going: 1.50, 2.50, 3.20, 4.24 & 4.54 -7yds) (Good (goingstick 7.6) (watered) (rail movements) | | flat
This looks a small-field handicap with a fairly obvious focal point, but it is not completely straightforward. Roc De Fer comes here on the back of back-to-back wins for Sir Mark Prescott and is the one they all have to beat, though he is now short enough in the market for a 3yo stepping into a tactical seven-runner race. Much is the interesting alternative after a promising second and gets plenty of weight from the favourite, while Willow Wood has a bit of speed on the figures and could be suited if this turns into more of a test of sharpness than stamina. Alnayef and Sure And Stedfast are honest enough but may just lack the upside of the younger pair. Strong favourite, but not quite a gimme.
Top Selections
1. Roc De Fer – 8/13 with Bet365
Jockey: Luke Morris | Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt | Form: 44-311 | Rating: 74 | Topspeed: 60
Prescott stayers in midsummer are rarely a mystery, and Roc De Fer fits the familiar pattern of a horse getting better as the trips increase. He has won his last two, arrives in form figures of 44-311 and still looks on the upgrade despite carrying 141. The obvious query is price rather than profile, because 8/13 is no gift in a race where tactics could matter and a couple of unexposed 3yos get lumps of weight. Still, Luke Morris is an ideal booking for this type and if Roc De Fer progresses again over 1m5f, he should prove too solid for this lot. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Much – 10/3 with Bet365
Jockey: Daniel Muscutt | Trainer: James Fanshawe | Form: 8742 | Rating: 78 | Topspeed: 65
Much makes plenty of each-way appeal in a race lacking depth beyond the top two or three in the betting. James Fanshawe’s 3yo showed a good deal more when runner-up last time, and that effort suggested this sort of trip can draw further improvement from him. He is rated 78, gets in here with just 130, and that weight pull with Roc De Fer is significant if this becomes a proper scrap in the straight. Daniel Muscutt is a positive jockey booking for a progressive sort, and at 10/3 he is short enough in a pure win sense but still the likeliest one to chase the favourite home, with every chance of better if the market leader underperforms. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Roc De Fer is the percentage call and the win bet, even if the price is on the skinny side. For those wanting a bit more juice, Much is the sensible each-way play in a seven-runner race with three places on offer. Willow Wood is the one I would fear most beyond the main pair if building forecasts or exactas.

A tight little six-runner handicap to close the card, and it doesn’t look especially deep despite a competitive market. Misemerald brings the most solid recent profile after a string of placed efforts and looks the one with the fewest questions to answer off a handy racing weight. Monhammer arrives off a win and is clearly thriving for Linda Perratt, while Filey Beach has the inside draw and enough recent form to get involved if things fall right. Keep Me Stable is the intriguing one on old ratings but needs to leave a few ordinary runs behind. In truth, this looks less a strong race than one likely to be decided by who gets the smoothest trip and who handles Musselburgh’s sharp 7f best.
Top Selections
1. Misemerald – 15/8 with Paddy Power
Jockey: Aiden Brookes | Trainer: Philip Kirby | Form: 662342 | Rating: 73 | Topspeed: 62
Misemerald is hard to oppose in a race where several arrive with something to prove. That recent sequence of 662342 tells its own story: this mare is running her race time and again, and she doesn’t need much more to take a modest Class 6 like this. The mark of 73 is workable, she carries just 122, and that weight edge could be telling late on around here. Aiden Brookes knows how to deliver one from off the pace when things fall into place, and at 15/8 she isn’t a giveaway price, but she still makes the most sense on current form. Bet: WIN
Bet: WIN
2. Filey Beach – 9/2 with Bet365
Jockey: James Sullivan | Trainer: Ruth Carr | Form: 411374 | Rating: 70 | Topspeed: 64
Filey Beach looks the value against the obvious pair at the head of the market. Ruth Carr’s 5yo had put together back-to-back wins earlier in the summer and, while the last couple haven’t quite been at that level, the form figures still suggest he remains in decent order. Stall 1 is no bad place to be over this trip at Musselburgh if James Sullivan can hold a handy spot, and his Topspeed figure of 64 is one of the better numbers on offer here. At 9/2, he appeals as the each-way alternative to the favourite in a race lacking depth beyond the principals. Bet: EACH-WAY
Bet: EACH-WAY
Betting Strategy
Misemerald is the straightforward win play on consistency, race fitness and a very workable weight. Filey Beach is the each-way punt at the bigger price, especially from the inside draw in a six-runner field where tactical position will matter. Monhammer is the obvious danger after scoring last time, while Keep Me Stable is risky but not entirely dismissed if the market speaks in his favour.
