UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

Despite having to shoulder a penalty for her recent Ayr triumph this could be another good opportunity for SAMRA STAR, especially because she'll be suited by the extra furlong on this occasion. Falcon Nine has filled the runner-up spot the last twice and is expected to go close again, as might Gemini Man, who bumped into an impressive winner here most recently.
Prediction : 1st Samra Star 2nd Falcon Nine 3rd Gemini Man

The Gimcrack entry and unbeaten BARNABY RUDGE is taken to come out on top. James Fanshawe's colt shrugged off a penalty to add to his Nottingham debut success at Newcastle and further improvement looks highly likely. Faith In Florence gets plenty of weight from the selection and might be best placed to challenge, but don't rule out Minster Man, who shaped with real promise at Yarmouth.
Prediction : 1st Barnaby Rudge 2nd Faith In Florence 3rd Minster Man

Bluestone Lady got the better of BIGALO (second) over C&D last time out, but the former must now shoulder a 6lb penalty having only won by half a length and that form is expected to be reversed as a result. Bella Lucia has shown plenty of promise in her three qualifying runs and she must enter calculations now upped in trip for her nursery debut.
Prediction : 1st Bigalo 2nd Bluestone Lady 3rd Bella Lucia

Having impressed on both outings for Harriet Bethell, there is every chance that EAGLE BAY can make a winning handicap bow. A rating of 85 looks workable given the calibre of opponent that the three-year-old made light work of at Chester last time and he's likely to prove a warm order. Passing Thought will find this easier than her effort in the Sandringham at Royal Ascot and she's feared more than recent York winner Jonny Concrete.
Prediction : 1st Eagle Bay 2nd Passing Thought 3rd Jonny Concrete

Having finished runner-up on five of her last six outings, WOOHOO could be poised to have her day in the sun. The five-year-old is wisely turned out before a 5lb higher mark takes effect and a similar performance to her latest neck second at Glorious Goodwood may suffice. Montezuma found only one rival too strong over C&D seven days ago and he may serve the most resistance to the selection, with Tiva the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st Woohoo 2nd Montezuma 3rd Tiva

Roc De Fer is sure to prove popular as he looks for a hat-trick after wins at Southwell and Wolverhampton, but he has a little to find at these weights. Last time he stayed on to beat MUCH by a length and a half, but the latter reopposes on 6lb better terms, leaving the James Fanshawe gelding with every chance of reversing that form. Willow Wood is also of interest, although she will need a step forward.
Prediction : 1st Much 2nd Roc De Fer 3rd Willow Wood

Filey Beach won at this level twice at Catterick in May and he could run well again if first-time cheekpieces bring about any improvement. Monhammer won by a head over C&D at the end of July, but he carries a 4lb penalty for that and has his work cut out to hold off runner-up MISEMERALD on these terms. Linda Perratt's mare struggled to find a path late on before being hampered that day, and a clear run here could see her exact her revenge.
Prediction : 1st Misemerald 2nd Monhammer 3rd Filey Beach
