UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Woohoo escaped a penalty for winning at Hamilton and duly followed that success with a cosy victory at Ayr. However, she will find life tougher now raised 9lb and KING'S CROWN makes more appeal. Michael Dods' inmate had to wait for a clear run at a crucial time when third at Carlisle and gets another chance with normal luck in-running. Pockley was narrowly beaten when last seen in this grade and could be in the mix.
Prediction : 1st Kings Crown 2nd Woohoo 3rd Pockley

Not at his best over a mile last time, ABDUCTION encountered plenty of trouble in the closing stages when beaten only a head over this distance at Haydock on his penultimate start. Jim Goldie's charge looked an unlucky loser on that occasion and he gets another chance. Power Of Gold has a shout on his recent third at Chepstow, while Cargin Bhui warrants respect off his current mark returning to the turf.
Prediction : 1st Abduction 2nd Power Of Gold 3rd Cargin Bhui

Karl Burke trained last year's winner and ALASKAN LIGHT appears to have solid claims. The daughter of Kodiac struggled in Listed company at York but this looks more her level, having finished runner-up at Ripon before that. Filly Foden enters calculations on her second at Thirsk in April, while Head For Freedom had the measure of third-placed U Turn when landing a claimer at Beverley and he is another to note.
Prediction : 1st Alaskan Light 2nd Filly Foden 3rd Head For Freedom

Silvestre De Sousa partnered Jabaara to success in this 12 months ago but, like last year, weight-for-age could prove crucial and it's FIERY LUCY who gets the vote. Fourth behind Lake Victoria in the Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf before finishing a creditable second in a Group 3 on her return at Leopardstown, Gavin Cromwell's filly can be rewarded now eased in class. Queen's Reign went agonisingly close in a Listed contest in France and is just one more to consider.
Prediction : 1st Fiery Lucy 2nd Jabaara 3rd Queens Reign

REGALIAN was perhaps a bit further back than ideal when keeping on into third over a mile at Newbury on his handicap bow. Upped in trip and with blinkers applied for the first time, it would come as no great surprise were the son of Kingman to find more, especially from an unchanged mark. Thunder Wonder (winner) stole a march on We Dare To Dream (second) when the pair met here in April so Paul Mulrennan won't want to give him that much rope. There would be few more deserving winners than Zarathos, but he might have to settle for minor honours once again.
Prediction : 1st Regalian 2nd We Dare To Dream 3rd Zarathos

Last year's winner of this race took things to another level by winning the Palace Of Holyrood at Royal Ascot on his very next start. Obviously, RESERVARDO would face a stiff test in emulating that feat. However, his recent Catterick success implied the son of Profitable has a bright future and is in the right hands to develop further. The hat-trick seeking Luna A Inbhir Nis and fellow last-time-out winner Dc Cogent are also evident players, while Topwarrior also appeals in a race that could be a useful reference point.
Prediction : 1st Reservardo 2nd Luna A Inbhir Nis 3rd Dc Cogent

Concert Boy is very capable of a bold showing and were it not for a record of zero wins from 17 starts on turf, he would have a rock-solid case in this company. A chance is instead taken on JUMEIRA VISION, who is a previous course winner and back on a highly competitive rating for a race of this nature. Last year's winner Scarriff and the still low-mileage Yorkshire Glory are others to monitor in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Jumeira Vision 2nd Concert Boy 3rd Scarriff
