UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

CASCADE HALL beat a subsequent two-time winner at Ayr on his penultimate start before going agonisingly close at Carlisle. The consistent seven-year-old has a good rapport with Lauren Young and another big run looks likely, with the step back up in trip not expected to be an issue. Elemental Eye was on the back of a short break on his most recent outing at Ripon and the betting market can guide for any expectations of a step forward. Simple Star is the pick of the rest.
Prediction : 1st Cascade Hall 2nd Elemental Eye 3rd Simple Star

TIME FOR THE MOON was a well-backed favourite when introduced at Haydock last month. He set the fractions that day and showed tenacity when headed by a more experienced rival and a well-bred newcomer towards the finish. Likely to be more knowledgable for that third-placed effort, he can confirm the form with Tribal Appearance, who wasn't beaten far despite finishing last of four in that race. Heldobeldo is noted too.
Prediction : 1st Time For The Moon 2nd Tribal Appearance 3rd Heldobeldo

Brian Ellison's horses are running better than the current win ratio might have you believe and HOMESTRAIT makes plenty of appeal. Like several of her stable companions, the three-year-old has made steady progress since being reintroduced and she is fancied to go one better after a close second at Catterick. Sandy Craic and Stoic Poet have similar profiles and shouldn't be taken lightly, while Maximum Velocity needs another personal best after going up 5lb for winning at Redcar.
Prediction : 1st Homestrait 2nd Sandy Craic 3rd Stoic Poet

Union Island failed to supplement his Leicester success when only fifth at Hamilton, but he is a course winner who might be worth another chance. Even so, STARLINER looks the way to go. The son of Showcasing finished two places in front of Charlie Johnston's charge when third in that Hamilton contest and can confirm the form, especially now Danny Tudhope is doing the steering. Poet's Dawn completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Starliner 2nd Union Island 3rd Poets Dawn

RIGHT AND EXACT accounted for Curious Rover (fourth) when beating a subsequent winner into second in this grade at Thirsk last month, and is expected to confirm that form. Off just a 4lb higher mark, Declan Carroll's gelding looks the one to beat. Tiva only found one too good at Hamilton and should remain competitive, while Miss Brazen is another to watch out for.
Prediction : 1st Right And Exact 2nd Tiva 3rd Miss Brazen

Longevity failed to show a lot on her three outings in maiden company but could prove a different proposition now competing in the handicap ranks. Catterick scorer Lope Y Linda is also noted, but the one who appeals most is MERESIDE PRINCESS. The daughter of Cotai Glory returned to winning ways at Carlisle last month and this looks a good opportunity to follow up.
Prediction : 1st Mereside Princess 2nd Longevity 3rd Lope Y Linda
