UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

BIG FUN didn't do much wrong when finishing second in each of his two previous starts and can make it third-time lucky, with the drop down to the minimum distance well worth exploring. Victaz fluffed the start on his debut at Hamilton last week, but will be wiser and should figure prominently with a step forward. Veiled Truth wasn't beaten far at Newcastle on Saturday and can also go well if reverting to turf and the quick turnaround don't cause issues.
Prediction : 1st Big Fun 2nd Victaz 3rd Veiled Truth

Yakhabar ended a drought at Ripon and has a feasible chance off just 2lb higher. Nevertheless, this is more demanding and solid cases can be laid out for several others. The well-handicapped CRYSTAL GUARD competes off his last winning mark and shades the vote with plenty of room to move from fully 24lb lower than his peak career rating. Made All, Falcon Nine and National Question are others with claims in a wide-open event.
Prediction : 1st Crystal Guard 2nd Yakhabar 3rd Made All

Individualism commands respect after hinting at a revival with a close second at Beverley last week, while Rhythm Master surely has another race within him and must be taken seriously from a highly competitive mark. However, THE TRICKSTER is far less exposed and with his weight-for-age allowance significantly bolstering his chance, a first handicap success could be within reach for John and Sean Quinn's progressive three-year-old. Castle Stuart also warrants close inspection.
Prediction : 1st The Trickster 2nd Individualism 3rd Rhythm Master

KEEP ME STABLE gained a fifth career success here on her latest start, having knocked on the door in recent months, and Linda Perratt's mare has every chance of following up on her return to 7f. Purple Martini got the better of the selection over C&D in May and wasn't at all disgraced at Carlisle when third last time. She enters the reckoning along with The Gay Blade.
Prediction : 1st Keep Me Stable 2nd Purple Martini 3rd The Gay Blade

This appears to be a golden opportunity for the consistent SIBYL CHARM to get her head back in front. The daughter of Charm Spirit has held her form well in recent months and boasts strong credentials in a race lacking any kind of depth on paper. Jewel Maker's recent fifth at Redcar entitles him to be in the mix, while a falling handicap mark might aid the cause of Detective.
Prediction : 1st Sibyl Charm 2nd Jewel Maker 3rd Detective

Yaaser has performed with credit since winning at Ayr in April, although he does look in the grip of the handicapper at present. The latter comment also applies to Vince Le Prince, who finished runner-up over C&D on his penultimate start when beaten by FLETCHERS DREAM. Fitted with a visor for the first time, Alan Brown's inmate returned the shock winner on that occasion but there was no fluke about it, having won off a higher mark last term, and another bold bid is anticipated.
Prediction : 1st Fletchers Dream 2nd Vince Le Prince 3rd Yaaser

SKI ANGEL has eased in the weights having won off a 5lb higher mark here last term. She showed signs of a resurgence when runner-up at the track last time, in a sprint that has worked out really well, and the daughter of Harry Angel is taken to go one better. Wee Mary went close to opening her account at Doncaster recently and makes more appeal than Mrs Bagerran, who has been raised 6lb for winning at Ripon.
Prediction : 1st Ski Angel 2nd Wee Mary 3rd Mrs Bagerran
