Race 1 – Musselburgh Racecourse
A DISTANT PLACE returned from 333 days off to sweep them aside and score with 5 in hand at Hereford. The 1lb hike isn’t a worry as Jonjo O’Neill’s charge guns for a double now the penny has dropped. THUNDER ROCK could challenge after chasing home a well-regarded type before bolting up at Wetherby.

SKYCUTTER made a splash on the flat when 4th in the November Handicap at Doncaster before attracting market support on hurdle bow at Wetherby. He warranted the support when scoring with 6+ in hand. He can strike once more in a sphere he is seemingly born for. COLLINGHAM also made a successful start to life in these ranks, scoring with 5 in hand at over C&D to land a cross-code hat trick.
Top Tip – SKYCUTTER (2)
One to consider – COLLINGHAM (1)
Race 3 – Musselburgh Racecourse
FIRST IMPRESSION returned to the hurdle ranks with a dominant 5 length win at Wetherby over a similar trip. Even after a 7lb rise he looks too strong for the Quinn team. MINELLA PLUS has a hat trick on the line after backing up an emphatic C&D win with an even better effort at Catterick off a very short price.
Top Tip – FIRST IMPRESSION (1)

Race 4 – Musselburgh Racecourse
GUN MERCHANT accounted for a moderate field at Newcastle on return from a wind operation. This is a tougher task but with that under his belt he can step up to the plate. PERMISSION GRANTED was an effortless winner at Ayr before finding one too good at Newcastle. He should be right in the mix once more.
Top Tip – GUN MERCHANT (5)
One to consider – PERMISSION GRANTED (9)

Race 6 – Musselburgh Racecourse
UPANDATIT fired up late to settle for 3rd on comeback run/chase bow at Ayr latest. He seems suited to this sphere and should relish the longer trip. RAECIUSFELIX has posted back to back 3rd finishes in these ranks after coming back from several months off. He should find his way into the equation once more.
Top Tip – UPANDATIT (2)
One to consider – RAECIUSFELIX (4)
Race 7 – Musselburgh Racecourse
UNIVERSAL FOLLY got back into shape when scoring at Carlisle last time out. The form has since been franked and he can double down in a tougher contest. DIAMOND STAKE caught the eye when scoring here with 8 in hand. He should benefit from the longer run here as he builds on that.
Top Tip – UNIVERSAL FOLLY (6)
One to consider – DIAMOND STAKE (8)
