A same policy continues this afternoon, with the aim of spotting potentially severely overpriced horses in weak, and opens looking races. Action at Southwell (mixed card), and on the flat at Yarmouth and Musselburgh. Soft in the north and good in the south, disagree with both statements, not when discussing today’s ground however. There is also action from Tipperary; the highlight being a decent looking listed contest, headed by the Aidan O’ Brien trained Parliament Square.

Starting with Musselburgh, it looks to be getting rather sodden up in bonny Scotland, and with conditions testing, stick to those who have course form around a notoriously sharp track. The first fancy comes in the 3.00, with ROY’S LEGACY looking a tricky wee challenger. The colt seemed to need the run after a five month break at Doncaster, and put in a satisfactory performance on heavy ground at Hamilton. The three year old has also come down 5lb for the two runs and Shirley Teasdale is well worth her claim of 7lb. This month she has a record of 1-9-14, and the prices of the unplaced horses are 11/1, 22/1, 13/2, 9/2, 11/1, 7/1, 11/4, 17/2, 15/2, 20/1, 14/1, 33/1, 25/1, she is paving her way on some difficult animals. Eladdy Roy the boy!

RAVI RIVER shaped nicely on return from a little break over an inadequate trip to show there is more to come from this usually raced hurdler. The increasingly soft ground will make it an even greater test of stamina, and he has it in abundance.

SANDWITH has shown a tremendous level of form in sprint handicaps in the north, and especially Musselburgh, where the now nine year old has a particularly strong record, seldom out of the first three. Lee McNiff, a claimer we flagged up yesterday is on him, and although soundly beaten by The Nifty Fox last time out, he now has a 12lb pull at the weights. He is much overpriced, and in an eight runner race, although usually not a fan, looks a solid place bet at the very least.

SINNAMARA was a previously well bred sort for The Aga Khan, and it is interesting that after only three runs for Mick Halford, she was shipped off, despite showing promise. He turned up in a Doncaster handicap after 7 months after, finishing a game seventh, and went off favourite for a recent novice hurdle, before falling at the second. The filly strikes as having plenty of improvement left in the locker.
