UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

YOU SOME GIRL has been a revelation since having a hood reapplied last month, with victories at Newcastle, Catterick and, most recently, over this C&D. Rebecca Menzies' mare still looks ahead of the handicapper and a 12lb rise may not be enough to prevent her from completing a four-timer. Evenwood Sonofagun improved for a rise in distance when finishing second over track and trip and he's feared most, ahead of fellow last-time-out runner-up Punxsutawney Phil.
Prediction : 1st You Some Girl 2nd Evenwood Sonofagun 3rd Punxsutawney Phil

JET TO VEGAS found only a more experienced hurdler too strong on his timber bow over 2m1f at Carlisle last month and he makes plenty of appeal. The Lucinda Russell-trained gelding scored on his sole outing between the flags over 3m so this distance is likely to unlock some of his potential. Point-to-point runner-up Smokeringinthedark is an intriguing debutant under Rules and the four-year-old may serve the most resistance to the selection, ahead of Kadjar Des Mottes.
Prediction : 1st Jet To Vegas 2nd Smokeringinthedark 3rd Kadjar Des Mottes

NO NO FIZZ appreciated a drop in distance when opening her account over 2m at Lingfield last month. The six-year-old is effectively only 1lb higher here if taking Tom Broughton's 5lb claim into account and she edges the verdict over fellow last-time-out winner Theirshegoes. Sandy Thomson's charge was a cosy scorer over 2m4f here 10 days ago and a 5lb rise in the ratings shouldn't prevent another bold bid. Winds Of Winter is another to consider reverting to handicap company.
Prediction : 1st No No Fizz 2nd Theirshegoes 3rd Winds Of Winter

STRINGTOYOURBOW put in an exhibition round of jumping en route to a comfortable all-the-way success over an extended 3m at Southwell last month and he is fancied to lead his rivals a merry dance once more. Cardamon Hill put in some good late work to score over an extended 2m7f here recently and he looks dangerous off 3lb higher, provided he copes with this step back in trip. The Churchill Lad is respected most out of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Stringtoyourbow 2nd Cardamon Hill 3rd The Churchill Lad

PRINCE OF PERTH stepped forward from his Hexham reappearance to finish a staying-on fifth in a minor event over 2m1f at Carlisle and, with this rise in trip promising to suit, he gets the nod to make a successful handicap debut. Flashthelights wasn't seen to best effect when seventh in a Fairyhouse handicap over 2m, but he was in winning form prior to that and must enter calculations. The step back up in distance should help Quian make his presence felt.
Prediction : 1st Prince Of Perth 2nd Flashthelights 3rd Quian

Okavango Delta showed a likeable attitude when scoring over an extended 2m4f here last month and he must be of interest off 6lb higher with his stamina drawn out further. That said, JONY MAX edges preference. He lost little in defeat when second over 2m7f at Taunton, and the suspicion is that the application of cheekpieces can eke out enough improvement to see him go one place better. Return Fire is also noteworthy.
Prediction : 1st Jony Max 2nd Okavango Delta 3rd Return Fire
