3:40 Musselburgh Tips

Florida Dreams has been in the money without winning for all four runs since the return in Oct and is back on a 125 today, which is his last winning mark, and deserves another shot, with ground to suit and stepping up to 3 mile.

Consistent so far this season with three third-placed efforts before taking the runner-up spot at Cheltenham last time out. Up three pounds for that effort, but looks a solid selection for each-way purposes with ground conditions likely to suit and with many bookies paying out on extra places.

Has been running well recently and traveled well for a long way at Ascot last time before fading late on as though stretched by the 22f trip. Having said that, it’s a bit surprising to see him moving up in distance today, so while he has a good chance on form, the trip is a worry.

Highland Fashion is a consistent sort but so far has only one win to his name. He has done well in lower-class races and is a confirmed stayer. He has a chance to sneak into a place.

Looked out of his depth reverting to the smaller obstacles last time, but that was the Grade 2 Long Walk and some of the horses ahead of him filled the frame in the Grade 2 Cleeve Hurdle. So it looks a strong enough contest. Ahoy Senor dips into handicap company from a mark of 145 and should be suited by this tight, right-handed track, which will favour those ridden forward. He may now be an 11yo, but 145 arguably leaves him 10 lbs well in if improving for his spin LTO.

I love My Baie. He spent most of last year in better company without being in the money. In April he returned from a break to a C2 third off a 134. Although he was at the back of the pack for the two runs in Nov and Dec, the first of those was a G3 and the latest was in listed company. So he drops to C2 off a 131, which I think makes him worth an each-way 4-place (EW4P).
