UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

COLOCOLO showed marked improvement from first to second start when runner-up at Windsor last month and as long as he manages to settle better, the son of Mohaather must hold every chance of breaking his maiden tag. Horus may have only managed fifth (and last) on his debut at Beverley but that was behind the subsequent Norfolk winner, while Harswell Dandy may have her consistency rewarded at some point, having not been outside the first three in five starts to date.
Prediction : 1st Colocolo 2nd Horus 3rd Harswell Dandy

Not beaten far in his attempt to land the double at Hamilton last time, CRYSTAL GUARD should have no issue with the slight drop back in trip and he looks the one to beat, with Mohammed Tabti taking off a valuable 5lb. Penelope's Sister did it well when getting on top late in the piece at Hamilton and she is likely to be thereabouts, along with recent Beverley second Escarpment.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Guard 2nd Penelopes Sister 3rd Escarpment

WITHOUT DELAY is in the form of her life at present and returning to a track where she won over 1m in May can see her make it three wins in her last four starts. Tracy Waggott's charge gets the vote ahead of the returning Urban Dandy and Going Underground, who has a 7lb rise to overcome for a determined success at Ayr last month. Darbucks and Pembrokeshire are entitled to be thereabouts as well.
Prediction : 1st Without Delay 2nd Going Underground 3rd Urban Dandy

The removal of headgear appeared to work the oracle for Jumeira Vision when opening his turf account at Redcar recently. However, Katie Scott's gelding isn't certain to replicate that performance and a 3lb higher rating may find him out. With that in mind, this could prove a suitable opportunity for seven-time Flat winner SHINE ON BRENDAN to add to his tally. The Son of Society Rock arrives on the back of a close-up third at Hamilton and ticks plenty of the right boxes. Fanzone also enters calculations.
Prediction : 1st Shine On Brendan 2nd Jumeira Vision 3rd Fanzone

KNIGHTS AFFAIR has been knocking on the door in recent months and he should take all the beating if seeing out a first attempt over 2m. The four-year-old appears to have plenty in his favour, with his biggest danger forecast to emerge from Lord Torranaga. The Philip Kirby-trained gelding finished just under four lengths behind the selection last time and better is expected over this longer trip. Sea Master may fare best of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Knights Affair 2nd Lord Torranaga 3rd Sea Master

Having slipped leaving the gates at Hamilton last week, CUBAN ROCK is best forgiven his failure to justify favouritism. Jim Goldie's string remain in fine fettle and the son of Havana Grey holds leading claims now pitched into a classified stakes contest. The in-form Ustath is rated 1lb higher than the selection and is a viable alternative, while last year's winner Golden Prosperity shouldn't be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Cuban Rock 2nd Ustath 3rd Golden Prosperity
