Nick Alexander

12.30 Musselburgh Dance Of Fire 16/1

a horse with decent flat form he was disappointing on his stable debut a month ago and nothing subsequently came to light; he’s schooling well, working well and will appreciate the better ground but both divisions of this maiden hurdle have plenty of good ex-flat horses lining up that have come here for the better ground.

★★☆☆☆

2.30 Musselburgh Andhaar 13/2

2.30 Musselburgh Bracing 9/2

Bracing (Kit) and Andhaar (Blair Campbell) are both in good heart and should enjoy the trip, track and ground so will hopefully be involved in the finish in what looks like an average sort of staying handicap.

★★★☆☆

David Pipe

1.15 Bangor Cafe De Paris 22/1

This multiple French winner has shaped with some promise in this country although he will need to improve further if he is to land this under Michael Heard.

★★☆☆☆

2.20 Bangor Red Square Revival 8/1

He was a bumper winner on his racecourse debut before disappointing on his first start over hurdles at Ayr, I am sure he is better than that.

★★★☆☆

3.50 Bangor Celebre Dallen 15/8

He was in with every chance when falling at the last in an Irish point-to-point, form which gives him a good shout here.

★★★★★
