UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

With the likelihood of a strong pace, this could be run to suit GIRL MAGIC, who is unexposed in handicap company and should have little to fear from dropping back to the minimum trip. Her juvenile form stands up to scrutiny at this level and a big run can be expected from the Alice Haynes-trained filly. Wreck It Ryley is consistent and is a prime contender, although Three Beauz is weighted to reverse recent all-weather form with that rival and is also feared.
Prediction : 1st Girl Magic 2nd Wreck It Ryley 3rd Three Beauz

It's difficult to evaluate the depth of the maiden MYCONIAN won in France last month but he showed tenacity that day and may well be able to cope with the penalty imposed for that success. East Bank has the same burden after his triumph over this trip at Beverley 11 days ago and he too merits serious consideration. Moonstone Boy is the pick of the rest given his previous C&D experience, although Lochaber is an interesting newcomer.
Prediction : 1st Myconian 2nd East Bank 3rd Moonstone Boy

It's possible that MYSTIC PEARL was simply in need of the run when she failed to justify good support on last month's reappearance at Southwell. That was her first attempt over a mile and, given she is likely to be seen to better effect back on turf, the daughter of Invincible Spirit has a lot going for her this time. Ana Gold is interesting starting out for a new yard, while Chealamy is unexposed and surely has more to offer.
Prediction : 1st Mystic Pearl 2nd Ana Gold 3rd Chealamy

NOTIMEFORANOTHER regained the winning thread when successful on his handicap debut over 1m6f at Southwell last month and a 6lb rise may not be enough to prevent him from going in again. His stablemate Heights Of Abraham was denied victory by a short-head at Ayr in September and is feared most if ready to roll on seasonal debut, with C&D winner Arrange another returning rival to be interested in.
Prediction : 1st Notimeforanother 2nd Heights Of Abraham 3rd Arrange

Urban Sprawl displaying a willing attitude when completing a double at Ascot in September and the son of Iffraaj isn't taken lightly off 3lb higher. However, he may prove vulnerable to the race-fit GINCIDENT, who posted a sound runner-up effort over C&D earlier this month. Last-time-out winner Out Of Shadows likely has more to offer now up in trip, while Solutre could also improve for his recent return at Nottingham.
Prediction : 1st Gincident 2nd Urban Sprawl 3rd Out Of Shadows

This represents a drop in class for Gioia Cieca and Keith Dalgleish's five-year-old must hold every chance of improving on his seasonal debut over C&D earlier this month. However, a 1lb lower mark could see MAYWAKE build on a promising third over this trip at Redcar last time out. He has now dropped to his last winning mark and commands respect, while Manigordo is another to consider off a break.
Prediction : 1st Maywake 2nd Gioia Cieca 3rd Manigordo

Shalaa Asker has been running with credit on the all-weather of late but he is yet to score on turf, so preference lies with MATTICE. Tim Easterby's charge is entitled to come on from his seasonal debut dropping in class and he can make his presence felt now 1lb lower. Monsieur Kodi kept on well to win over C&D earlier this month and is feared most, while Dun Na Sead finished second at Cork last time out and is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Mattice 2nd Monsieur Kodi 3rd Shalaa Asker
