4:45 Musselburgh Tips

Winner here over seven furlongs in a Class Two eight days ago. Won going away that day, so today's extra furlong will suit. Looks the one to beat here, taking a big drop in class and with what looks a favourable draw in stall one.

Samra Green is dropping to a Class 4 today after winning in a Class 3 and should handle the ground well. I expect her to be there in the mix if she gets out fast. 31% strike rate for Sam James here and he works well with K. Burke. Each-way chance. 4 places.

Perfect Part was a decent fourth in a C2 off an 87 when she was running with the boys on the return last month. With a drop to C4 today off the same mark and now with the fillies, I think she has a chance EW 4P.

A winner of three races when trained by Alice Haynes, the mare failed to add to that total in five outings for Hugo Palmer. As a result, she has fallen to a mark two pounds lower than for her last win. Asteverdi has a decent record fresh, and his new handler has proved himself adept at resurrecting the careers of new recruits.

Back this one. Last time out should have done better. I think he will this time. He definitely will be in the mix at the end of the race.

Dunkfield Dreamer never ran a bad race last season and should be fit enough here on seasonal debut. The selection will handle the ground, and the yard is in form.

Ice Sovereign represents significant class in the Grade 4 fillies' handicap as she returns to a more realistic level. After a highly promising double at Carlisle, I feel she has what it takes with this drop back in class to a mark of 85 and can win here.

Janna's Journey is a multiple-time winner who has shown she can be competitive in strong handicap company, including a solid 2nd at Musselburgh in October and a 3rd at Hamilton over a longer trip. Her latest runs in higher-grade races have been tougher, but she now drops into a more suitable level. If she returns to her earlier form, she has the ability to get back on the scoresheet.
