UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Timescape will need to improve on her fifth over 5f at Beverley in July but it wouldn't be a surprise if the daughter of Havana Grey left that performance behind. That said, preference is for STORMY IMPACT. Richard Fahey's charge was far from disgraced when fifth in a Group 3 at Ayr last month, and this looks a good opportunity for her to gain a breakthrough victory with her sights lowered. Recent Windsor runner-up Amestris has shown flashes of useful form and is likely to serve it up to the selection.
Prediction : 1st Stormy Impact 2nd Amestris 3rd Timescape

CASHLYN CAVALIER shaped with more promise than the bare result suggests when finishing seventh over 6f at Haydock in August, looking tapped for toe at a crucial stage before keeping on well inside the final furlong. Now stepping up to 7f for the first time, he gets the vote to score on his nursery debut. Herb Fennel has shown a fair level of ability and must enter calculations, while better can be expected from Storm The Dug.
Prediction : 1st Cashlyn Cavalier 2nd Herb Fennel 3rd Storm The Dug

WITHOUT DELAY showed a likeable attitude when winning over a mile here last month and, upped 2lb, she gets the vote to bring up the double here. The step back up in trip should see Ramon Di Loria to better effect, while Keep Me Stable can bounce back having struggled when turned out under a 5lb penalty at Newcastle last month.
Prediction : 1st Without Delay 2nd Ramon Di Loria 3rd Keep Me Stable

KYBER CRYSTAL had Royal Duke (third) and Sixcor (sixth) behind when regaining the winning thread in this grade at Hamilton. Rebecca Menzies' five-year-old is a previous C&D winner and has lots in her favour to go in again, despite carrying a 5lb penalty. Mrs Bagerran has had the selection behind her over track and trip the last twice and could prove to be the main threat as she remains in good heart.
Prediction : 1st Kyber Crystal 2nd Mrs Bagerran 3rd Royal Duke

AL MARMAR finished midfield in a class 4 handicap at Thirsk last time and possibly brings the best most recent form into this contest. Gemma Tutty's five-year-old has his first attempt at this distance and he could be the one to beat. Bint Al Karama is an interesting contender on her first start for the Iain Jardine stable and it will be interesting if the market speaks in her favour. Of the remainder, Autumn Festival makes the most appeal.
Prediction : 1st Al Marmar 2nd Bint Al Karama 3rd Autumn Festival

ZUMAATY escapes a penalty having defeated Temper Trap (second) when bouncing back to form in an apprentice handicap at Hamilton last Monday. Jim Goldie's gelding is fancied to confirm his superiority over that rival en route to further success. Angel Of The Bay arrives on the back of two creditable performances, including at Redcar in first-time blinkers, and he appeals most of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Zumaaty 2nd Temper Trap 3rd Angel Of The Bay

RORY THE CAT didn't appear to see out 2m2f here in the Portobello Cup last time but Lucinda Russell's charge, a C&D winner on his penultimate outing, can bounce back over this shorter trip. Bamboo Bay was on target at Redcar last month and is of obvious interest raised 3lb in the handicap. Reel Her In made a promising start for Ben Haslam at Newcastle and it would come as no surprise were she to take a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Rory The Cat 2nd Bamboo Bay 3rd Reel Her In
