UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Scarlet Moon has taken well to the winter game and followed a breakthrough Warwick victory with a creditable fourth in Listed company at Aintree. It might be difficult to concede weight, though, particularly against FALLS OF ACHARN. The son of Sea The Moon signed off his Flat career with Jessica Harrington with a Leopardstown/Cork brace, which will have played no small part in him then fetching 105,000gns at the sales, and Paul Nicholls does well up here. Belaya River showed some ability at Newbury and is another to consider.
Prediction : 1st Falls Of Acharn 2nd Scarlet Moon 3rd Belaya River

FIVEAFTERFOUR had yet to show her hand when hitting the deck on her chasing bow here and was in the process of making a promising return from a lengthy spell on the sidelines. Providing that has left no lasting scars, she can begin to make up for lost time in a race that won't take much winning. Lord De Vinci wasn't beaten all that far on his Carlisle comeback and is bred to be better over fences. Keep Marty Mcfly in mind too.
Prediction : 1st Fiveafterfour 2nd Lord De Vinci 3rd Marty Mcfly

Lucinda Russell won this for the second time in four runnings when Alan Doyle drove Bold Light home 12 months ago, although he is 8lb higher now and the stable might have stronger claims with improving novice Chanonry Point. Serious Chat arrives in fine form, but he was hammered by WISE EAGLE at Catterick just over a year ago and Adam Nicol's top-weight remains well treated in this sphere. Fasol and Moonbow also command attention in a really competitive renewal.
Prediction : 1st Wise Eagle 2nd Chanonry Point 3rd Fasol

JET TO VEGAS won a Grade 2 over hurdles and finished fourth in an Aintree Grade 1. He's yet to win over fences but has posted a couple of solid efforts at Perth and Ascot and now goes handicapping off what looks a workable mark. Insurrection won well here last season and is very much one to consider, likewise Tommy's Oscar and Rexem.
Prediction : 1st Jet To Vegas 2nd Insurrection 3rd Tommys Oscar

SNOWROCCO won well over this sort of trip at Newcastle latest and connections appear to have found their mare another good opening. In a race lacking proven form over 3m, she is difficult to oppose. Kool Raoul goes handicapping for the first time and is interesting, while it would be surprising if Paul Nicholls couldn't get Jena D'oudairies to win a race off 108.
Prediction : 1st Snowrocco 2nd Kool Raoul 3rd Jena Doudairies

Cueros boasts an attractive, unexposed profile and will likely have his supporters in the finale, while Afadil is a C&D winner and Mr Mcloughlan has won three of his last four starts. CITY OF DIAMONDS gets the nod, but is only a lukewarm selection. He's another unexposed quantity and his handicap debut success over track and trip was quite taking.
Prediction : 1st City Of Diamonds 2nd Cueros 3rd Afadil
