UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

A taking winner of the Hilary Needler on debut at Beverley in June, PERFECT PART was subsequently overturned at short odds when looking to overcome a penalty over the same track and trip. Brian Ellison's filly sets the standard and she is narrowly preferred to La Bellota, who showed plenty of promises when second to a subsequent winner at Yarmouth on his racecourse bow last month. Evening Saigon has switched yards since scoring at Tipperary in May and cannot be ruled out either.
Prediction : 1st Perfect Part 2nd La Bellota 3rd Evening Saigon

DICKO THE LEGEND was value for more than the winning margin when scoring over 6f at York last month, and the pace he showed late on suggests that he won't have any issue with dropping back to 5f on this occasion. Protest Rally had Wee Fat Mac (third) just under a length behind when runner-up over C&D recently and both are likely to be thereabouts again, along with the capable Ecclesiastical.
Prediction : 1st Dicko The Legend 2nd Protest Rally 3rd Wee Fat Mac

CRYSTAL GUARD may not be the most prolific but he has done well since getting back to winning ways at Ayr in June, and going further up in distance is likely to bring about more improvement. The six-year-old ran well when second here on his penultimate outing and he may have too much for Purple Gown, as well as Rory The Cat, who has scored twice at this venue over hurdles.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Guard 2nd Rory The Cat 3rd Purple Gown

Gressington accounted for his nearest rival by half a length in this grade at Beverley last month and he holds an obvious chance off only 3lb higher. However, the vote goes to JUDGMENT CALL, who finished over two lengths clear of the third when hitting the crossbar over track and trip last time and he was only raised 2lb for that effort. Linda Perratt's six-year-old lurks on a workable mark and could be the one to beat. Dain Ma Nut In completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Judgment Call 2nd Gressington 3rd Dain Ma Nut In

Lincoln Rockstar has been in fantastic form as she has filled the top two places on each of her last four starts and it would be no surprise to see her get involved off 2lb higher than her most recent second at Chester. However, FREDDY ROBINSON looks the way to go. Brian Ellison's five-year-old was denied by a nose when second in a class 4 event at Catterick on his latest outing and he competes off the same mark down in grade. If he can reproduce that level of form, the son of Adaay could prove hard to beat. Spanish Hustle is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Freddy Robinson 2nd Lincoln Rockstar 3rd Spanish Hustle

Scarriff has been thereabouts on each of her last four outings, including when she was victorious over a mile here three starts ago, and she should remain competitive at this level. However, the vote goes to SHINE ON BRENDAN, who occupied the runner-up berth at Ayr on his latest outing and he goes off an unchanged mark. The son of Society Rock may only need to produce a repeat of that display in order to go one better. Code Purple is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Shine On Brendan 2nd Scarriff 3rd Code Purple
