UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Smart Flat performer FANTASY WORLD was engaged to run at Newbury last Saturday, but testing ground meant Nicky Henderson had to find another opening for his new recruit. This is far easier than the task he would have faced that day and while Keyboard and Gallivanted are the only two to show an aptitude for hurdling so far, the son of Make Believe might be far too strong.
Prediction : 1st Fantasy World 2nd Keyboard 3rd Gallivanted

Roses All The Way sets a modest standard with an official rating of 109 but should be more than capable in a race of this nature, although SIORAI is preferred. The Masar filly displayed promise in three Flat runs for Jim Bolger before moving to an in-form Harry Derham. Tuppence will need a first-time hood to work the oracle but is next best nonetheless.
Prediction : 1st Siorai 2nd Roses All The Way 3rd Tuppence

MAGIC GLOVES took a step forward when fourth over C&D on her handicap bow and the application of a first-time tongue-tie might elicit further improvement from the Russell/Scudamore inmate. She receives a tentative vote but that's only because Inca Prince ran with credit at Sedgefield most recently and has become too well handicapped to leave out of the equation. Sattam is capable, and veteran Scots Poet should not be underestimated either.
Prediction : 1st Magic Gloves 2nd Inca Prince 3rd Sattam

Having separated subsequent winners when runner-up over C&D last month, DIDNTGOTWENTY could be poised to open his account. A 1lb drop in the ratings could prove to be lenient for the seven-year-old and he's taken to repel Divas Doyen. Although Sandy Forster's mare was underwhelming at Carlisle recently, a repeat of her penultimate second over track and trip would see her involved. Handicap/chase debutant Siege Of Acres is worth a second look in the betting.
Prediction : 1st Didntgotwenty 2nd Divas Doyen 3rd Siege Of Acres

Wearelongterm appreciated a switch to hurdling when hitting the frame over C&D on New Year's Day and he must enter calculations dropping in class. However, there is a fair chance that this rise in distance could unlock significant improvement in handicap-debutant CRYSTELLO, who finished second in a 3m point-to-point last April. Harry Derham's charge gets the verdict, with Bollin Matilda the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Crystello 2nd Wearelongterm 3rd Bollin Matilda

Dropping in class can be beneficial for SPECIAL RATE, who wasn't beaten far when third over C&D two weeks ago and can use that as a stepping stone to success in this company. The low-mileage Jus De Citron is interesting back up in trip and could also have a big say with another step forward on just his third start since wind surgery. Inis Oirr tends to go well here and is also a solid option.
Prediction : 1st Special Rate 2nd Jus De Citron 3rd Inis Oirr

NATIONAL QUESTION received just a 3lb rise after his win at Sedgefield and the consistent six-year-old is a tempting proposition on these terms. Velvet Vulcan also scores highly on that criteria and is dangerous to underestimate as he gets weight all round. Cher Tara completes the shortlist after posting an improved display when third of 16 in this grade at Newcastle last month. That was only her second start since joining Daragh Bourke and there could be more to come.
Prediction : 1st National Question 2nd Velvet Vulcan 3rd Cher Tara
