UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

THE MEAN FIDDLER has filled second place on both of his previous starts and it would be no surprise to see the son of No Nay Never go one better on this occasion. Calef unseated her rider at the start last time but is a player based on her consistent previous form, while By Jove Grace is the pick of the remainder.
Prediction : 1st The Mean Fiddler 2nd Calef 3rd By Jove Grace

FOREST BERRY got off the mark in a Wolverhampton maiden a week ago and that form suggests that a mark of 71 should be workable on her nursery debut, especially with more improvement likely trying 1m for the first time. Bluestone Lady is a player based on her 7f win here two starts ago, while Rule Of The Agency completes the shortlist.
Prediction : 1st Forest Berry 2nd Bluestone Lady 3rd Rule Of The Agency

YERMANTHERE has finished second on both starts since winning over 1m2f at Ripon in June and Tim Easterby's gelding sets the standard in a moderate contest. That said, Falcon Nine has also been knocking very hard on the door of late and is an obvious threat to the selection. Miners Gamble edges out Motawaared and Theme Park to be next best.
Prediction : 1st Yermanthere 2nd Falcon Nine 3rd Miners Gamble

BLAKEFELL won his maiden here in the spring and might not be done improving yet judged on recent performances both here and at Kempton. He should go very close and gets the nod ahead of Two Commanders, who boasts an unexposed profile and might progress for going back up to 7f. Keep a close eye on The Resdev Scholar too.
Prediction : 1st Blakefell 2nd Two Commanders 3rd The Resdev Scholar

SO GRATEFUL deserves to win a race of this nature following a run of second-placed finishes and returning to the minimum distance should do his chances no harm judged on a fine effort at Thirsk two starts ago. Wee Mary definitely has a race like this within her compass and should be respected, while Sixcor should be in the thick of things.
Prediction : 1st So Grateful 2nd Wee Mary 3rd Sixcor

MISEMERALD can send her supporters home smiling in the finale. It's surely just a matter of time before she gets her head in front judged on recent efforts here and at Thirsk and stretching back out to 1m might help. Hostelry won a classified stakes race at Ayr and is noted back in handicap company, while similar sentiments apply to the second Due Respect.
Prediction : 1st Misemerald 2nd Hostelry 3rd Due Respect
