UK Horse Racing Tips: Musselburgh

SOD HALL LANE earned an official rating of 84 after winning comfortably at Hamilton on his second racecourse appearance and with further improvement likely, he can double his tally under the winner's penalty. Sable Noir left her debut form behind to finish a creditable third over C&D and is the obvious threat in receipt of weight, but Just For Monty will need to improve considerably.
Prediction : 1st Sod Hall Lane 2nd Sable Noir 3rd Just For Monty

A few to consider in what looks a trappy contest, including Priapos, who is weighted to go well on these terms. Kaleido and Nostrum fall into that category too, while the hat-trick seeking Sunriseontheboyne can't be written off given his current vein of form. However, the vote goes to WALSINGHAM. He's not pulled up any trees this season barring a Pontefract success back in April, but there were encouraging signs over that same C&D recently and the drop into a seller won't harm his chances.
Prediction : 1st Walsingham 2nd Priapos 3rd Kaleido

Ruth Carr's horses are flying at present and FILEY BEACH could be set to continue that trend. The five-year-old came from off the pace to score in determined fashion at Catterick earlier this month and he looks feasibly treated off 3lb higher, not least because the third has come out and won since. Monhammer actually had the selection two lengths in arrears when completing a C&D double in early August so is entitled to respect along with Misemerald, whose recent form also ties in closely with the former.
Prediction : 1st Filey Beach 2nd Monhammer 3rd Misemerald

BRANDENBURG has won twice this season but he could never really lay a glove on his rivals in a fiercely competitive York nursery last month. Eased 1lb in the handicap since and now afforded a drop in class, it would come as no great surprise were he to resume his progress. Rock Steady Beat belatedly opened his account in a Redcar seller and may well do better now upped to 7f. Spare a thought for Inns And Out, who returns to the scene of his sole career success.
Prediction : 1st Brandenburg 2nd Rock Steady Beat 3rd Inns And Out

STARTLING bounced out of the stalls like a greyhound at Redcar 15 days ago and showed them a clean pair of heels. Her rivals could just never get on terms with her that day and, assuming she breaks alertly again, she could quite easily get over from a low draw and go very close to completing the hat-trick. Azuinthejungle has won four of his last five starts and commands respect from a good draw in stall eight, while Anaisa is another to bear in mind.
Prediction : 1st Startling 2nd Azuinthejungle 3rd Anaisa

CALEF has shown improved form the last twice at Wolverhampton and is drawn well here to strike. Jason Hart is a really positive jockey booking for the juvenile and he might attempt to make all aboard the Blue Point filly. Lairy Mary would have every chance if coming back to her Beverley form two starts ago and is noted along with Tricky Jenny and Yorkshire Dream.
Prediction : 1st Calef 2nd Lairy Mary 3rd Tricky Jenny

RIDDIKULUS makes plenty of appeal in the finale. She's won two of her last four starts and still looked to be well treated when a close-up second at Ripon last time. She needs to prove herself over this trip, but looks well worth another chance over 1m6f based on her determined Ripon triumph over 1m4f in July, when getting up late. If the distance finds her out, then Falaise Blanc and Bollin Neil will be there waiting to pounce.
Prediction : 1st Riddikulus 2nd Falaise Blanc 3rd Bollin Neil
