Musselburgh racecourse.
"Tracy Waggot’s stable has just hit top form and there’s a reasonable chance Nufoudh could get loose on the front end"
Musselburgh is the target for Sunday's placepot.
14:15 - There are more in-form sorts in the opener than the majority of claimers, but Ajdaad and Stags Leap stand out on form, so it's difficult to see both of them being out of the three.
14:45 - The second race is trappy too, but it's hard to see both Idler and Shevington being out of the two. The former showed much improved form returning from a break at Yarmouth last time and is entitled to build on that again, while Shevington was simply pitched in too high on the back of an encouraging debut and can get back on track returned to calmer waters.
15:20 - Cara's Request is really well handicapped and the return to a sharp, turning track might be just what he needs to spark a revival, so I think he's worth chancing for an in-form yard, while the consistent Kingswinford provides a slightly more solid option.
15:55 - Tracy Waggot's stable has just hit top form and there's a reasonable chance Nufoudh could get loose on the front end, so I think he's well worth having on side in the second of the seven-furlong handicaps along with Boy The Bell, who shaped as if still in top form at Beverley last time.
16:30 - The penultimate leg looks very competitive on paper, but both Metropolitan Miss and Deity fall into a similar bracket in that they're dropping down in class of handicap. The latter definitely has the most potential in the race after just three runs, so I expect at least one of that pair to make the first three.
17: 00 - Richard Fahey has already had an excellent weekend and there's a chance the final leg (a five-furlong nursery) will be set up ideally for Valley of Hope's hold up style. With that in mind, she goes in along with Doyouknowhoiam, who shaped particularly well at Thirsk a couple of starts ago and could be helped by the first-time cheekpieces.
