5/2
Has appreciated a change of tactics of late with a switch to front running. 24L winner here in January and won again last time out, keeping on well. Nothing wrong for a 4lb rise for that success and he's the one to beat here.

Slowly getting the hang of things over hurdles but he could do with brushing up on his jumping. May need more time and opposable this time despite a fair handicap mark.

Winner on the Flat here but hasn't taken well to hurdles on evidence so far. Produced a better effort last time when sixth here and needs to build on that now.

Notched a hurdles hat-trick when scoring on deep ground at Newcastle immediately prior to Christmas (2m) and has continued in decent order since despite attracting the attentions of the handicapper. Each-way player.

Still a maiden over hurdles and out of form in both codes lately. Needs more relief from the handicapper before he becomes of interest.

Still a maiden after 12 starts and two runs this term have been particularly poor, tailed off on reappearance before pulled up last time out. Return to better ground is a positive but hard to fancy.

Failed to get his head in front in point-to-points and well beaten or failed to finish on all hurdles starts. Others preferred.

12/1
Moderate Flat performer and not taken to this discipline, particularly lately having only finished one of his last three starts. May do better when stepped up in trip.

Has only won one race in 26 starts. Handicap mark on the slide and ran okay at Market Rasen last time out but usually needs his comeback run and possibly one for next time.

11:30 Musselburgh - 16 March 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

NENDRUM has proven to be a different horse under a change of tactics on recent starts. He arrives in form unlike many in the line up and he's likely to prove hard to beat given the handicapper has only put him up 4lb for his most recent win. Titus Bolt needs to build on his most recent more promising effort while Morning With Ivan is in form despite a stiff mark and may be able to finish in the first three home.
