UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

TIMETOCHILL won a Listed mares' bumper 12 months ago and scored for the first time over timber when striking at Market Rasen 18 days ago. Kelly Morgan's six-year-old remans open to improvement over obstacles and is taken to defy a penalty here to follow up. Shabba Dada Do has shown promise between the flags and is worth a market check now debuting under Rules and for Donald McCain. Animore is entitled to build on her reappearance fifth at Ayr and could take closer order.
Prediction : 1st Timetochill 2nd Shabba Dada Do 3rd Animore

CHATEAU ROBIN travelled smoothly when hacking up at Ayr last month and it might take more than a 7lb rise to halt his improvement. Castletown is worth monitoring in the betting on his return as he was a model of consistency last term and signed off the season on a winning note off 3lb lower at Ayr. Buyer Beware, who steps up in trip after scoring off 4lb lower over 2m here recently, looks best of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Chateau Robin 2nd Castletown 3rd Buyer Beware

TRAPPER PEAK has been raised 28lb since his winning run started in January and he could prove tough to stop once more representing Justin Landy. The 10-year-old rarely wins by far, but shows a nice attitude in the closing stages to go past horses and could give his small yard another successful day out. Buttevant Lady ran creditably when second behind a smart animal at Sedgefield last time and remains unexposed, while Nefyn Bay warrants a second glance given that he is 3-3 at Musselburgh.
Prediction : 1st Trapper Peak 2nd Buttevant Lady 3rd Nefyn Bay

Cracking Destiny had a busy time of things last season for Ian Williams and could do better following a break now starting life for Alistair Whillans, while Honourable Gent was travelling well at Carlisle 39 days ago before a fall four out and the 11-year-old could bounce back. SPORTING PRESS never got involved at Ayr earlier this month, looking uncomfortable from an early stage, and should appreciate this sounder surface. The six-year-old is often popular in the betting and is clearly thought capable of better.
Prediction : 1st Sporting Press 2nd Honourable Gent 3rd Cracking Destiny

Astute Boy only found odds-on favourite Ashington too good over C&D earlier this month and he is likely to show up well again, but slight preference is for REMEMBER THE DAYS, who drops in class after finishing third in 0-125 company at Carlisle. He is 1lb higher but should go very close. Wot A Shot completes the shortlist representing an in-form Nicky Richards stable.
Prediction : 1st Remember The Days 2nd Astute Boy 3rd Wot A Shot

A chance is taken on Irish raider VIKING HOARD, who still looked to be travelling well when falling three out at Kelso. Having top conditional Danny McMenamin take 5lb off his back is a big plus and he should be competitive in what looks a very winnable contest. Petite Ganache struck the crossbar off a 1lb higher mark over fences at Kelso two starts ago and he merits respect, while course scorer Frame Rate also has a squeak.
Prediction : 1st Viking Hoard 2nd Petite Ganache 3rd Frame Rate
