UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Rickety Gate finds himself up in class after winning at Kelso, but he faces a stiff task now effectively running off a 9lb higher mark due to being out of the weights. A chance is taken on CYCLOP, who has been dropped 5lb since a Newton Abbot fifth that came on the back of a 170-day absence and he could be to be ready to roll given how infrequently David Dennis sends runners to the East Lothian venue. Blakeney Point rates best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Cyclop 2nd Rickety Gate 3rd Blakeney Point

My Brother Jack sets the standard of those to have run over obstacles and, with two solid runner-up efforts, he should put his experience to good use. However, NOBLE ANTHEM was much better than him on the Flat and, likely to be suited by the emphasis on speed on his hurdling bow, he may have too much toe for his rivals. French import Soleil De Cannes is worth a second look on his debut for Iain Jardine.
Prediction : 1st Noble Anthem 2nd My Brother Jack 3rd Soleil De Cannes

HAREL DU MARAIS has been running some creditable races in defeat in Irish maiden hurdles and this appears a good opportunity for the five-year-old to gain a breakthrough success. Point-to-point winner General Officer may have more to offer in this sphere after finishing a fair third on his bumper debut at Carlisle. Sanosuke has failed to threaten the main principals on his last two efforts, but often runs his race.
Prediction : 1st Harel Du Marais 2nd General Officer 3rd Sanosuke

CHECK MY PULSE drops in class following a comfortable triumph over this trip at Carlisle and is fancied to secure a double. A 4lb raised mark for that win seems fairly lenient given he kept on to justify favouritism by a length and a quarter, and he should give another good account. Obey The Rules has been a model of consistency of late and shades the danger vote from Coolmoyne.
Prediction : 1st Check My Pulse 2nd Obey The Rules 3rd Coolmoyne

LIVING'S BOY AN CO was very impressive when bolting up on his most recent run over 2m3f at Market Rasen and a 10lb higher figure may not be enough to stop him given he scored by 20 lengths on that occasion. Mac Suibhne is another seeking to follow up a last-start success, which came in a Wetherby match, and he could be the selection's biggest danger. Shanbally Rose completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Livings Boy An Co 2nd Mac Suibhne 3rd Shanbally Rose

WAKE UP EARLY has been a revelation since joining the Richard Newland stable and having gone well fresh in the past, he can strike on the back of a 167-day break. A winner of two of his last four in this sphere, the eight-year-old has the potential for more improvement over further and is preferred to Court Dreaming, who was a determined winner at Carlisle last month. Stylish Moment looks the pick of the Lucinda Russell-trained pair.
Prediction : 1st Wake Up Early 2nd Stylish Moment 3rd Court Dreaming

From contesting the Tolworth on his domestic debut in January, WHIZZ KID was progressive throughout last season, notching up two wins, and this looks like a perfect starting point this time around. Holmes St Georges is a big player, having won a bumper here in January. Wild Shot also crosses the Irish Sea with claims and could be suited by dropping back in trip after a creditable effort at Cheltenham.
Prediction : 1st Whizz Kid 2nd Holmes St Georges 3rd Wild Shot
