UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

WHITEOAK FLEUR has proven herself to be a consistent mare in her short career so far, and handler Donald McCain may have found her the ideal opportunity to open her account. Two-time point-to-point winner Toby Maguire is worth keeping an eye on in the market, making his first start for Ben Pauling following 635 days off. Order Of Thistle has looked in need of a trip in his outings so far and gets that here.
Prediction : 1st Whiteoak Fleur 2nd Order Of Thistle 3rd Toby Maguire

A mistake three from home proved costly for VEILED SECRET when he plugged on for third last time, but the six-year-old, who has been in good form this season, has the chance to make amends switching to fences off the same mark. Dahills Hill would be dangerous if returning from 647 days off the track at her best. Eagle Ridge should be suited to the drop back in trip having finished third over course and distance on his penultimate start, with Goldslinger is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Veiled Secret 2nd Eagle Ridge 3rd Dahills Hill

SAFE HOME should prove difficult to beat as he has clearly appreciated joining Terence O'Brien's yard. A Market Rasen success was followed by a creditable second at Southwell and, boasting a good record when fresh, he remains well treated off a mark of 88 and this looks a good opening. Titus Bolt performed well on his latest outing at Kelso in a better race than this, while Haasab should also be taken seriously.
Prediction : 1st Safe Home 2nd Titus Bolt 3rd Haasab

BLOORIEDOTCOM took a step in the right direction when third over this trip at Kelso last time and is expected to show up well off an unchanged rating now eased in grade. The main danger may be Wise Coco, who has been eased 1lb for her last run at Leicester, though there could also be a big run on the cards from Fourth Of July, who turned in an improved effort in a first-time tongue-tie when third over C&D last time.
Prediction : 1st Blooriedotcom 2nd Wise Coco 3rd Fourth Of July

CHANCEANOTHERFIVE has won his last two starts here over 3m, one over C&D and the latest over fences, and, 7lb higher than his most recent success over the larger obstacles, he could still be ahead of the handicapper and is difficult to get away from while he's evidently on good terms with himself. Court Baloo had won four on the spin before his latest Wetherby third and is respected, while Petite Ganache would be no surprise winner either.
Prediction : 1st Chanceanotherfive 2nd Court Baloo 3rd Petite Ganache

IRISH ROE only found one too good off a mark of 139 in a competitive handicap hurdle at Doncaster last time out and that form suggests that she will be hard to beat here if transferring that form to fences. Mahlervous was a useful hurdler last season and he merits respect on his seasonal return, while I'm To Blame is the clear pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Irish Roe 2nd Mahlervous 3rd Im To Blame

BLUESKYANDSUNSHINE failed to reward favourite backers on his debut at Catterick last month but he can provide his supporters with some valuable compensation with that experience now under his belt. Abington Park, Elios D'Or and Empty Quarter are others who merit places on the shortlist given their previous form, while Not At Present and It'llcomein are arguably the most eye-catching newcomers.
Prediction : 1st Blueskyandsunshine 2nd Elios DOr 3rd Empty Quarter
