This will be his third run back from wind surgery and whilst he would have needed the first run back he failed to build on that run next time. Now with cheekpieces on for the first-time and has plenty to prove despite the reduced mark.

Had shown early promise when coming to this yard from Ireland with everything clicking at Leicester on quick ground over 1m last time out. Partnered by the same good value claimer here but off a 9lb higher mark; still one to consider.

Formerly with Richard Hannon his form for this yard so far has shown that he ought to be capable off this mark (split a previous and next time out winner last time). Raised just 1lb for that effort (only beaten a neck) he's respected here.

Starts out for a new yard having previously been trained in Ireland. Still a maiden after four starts this will also be his handicap debut having run poorly when last seen in May at Sligo over 1m2f. One to note in the market from a shrewd yard.

Fair maiden who is now starting to look as though she can win a handicap on the evidence of her last run although that outing did come on softer ground. Now stepped up again in trip but on quicker ground but looks a contender on her last run.

Her latest run here will have to be ignored if she's to be given a chance in this as she finished last of eight. Her previous run here would though if repeated give her more of a chance although the extra furlong remains a doubt.

Supported a couple of runs ago over this trip when producing his best form so far he's not hit the same heights since in two subsequent starts with cheekpieces on both times. May be capable at this level but does need to show some spark.

Shown little in four starts for this yard having had a couple of runs for Ger Lyons in Ireland (both on softer ground than here). Drops back 1f in trip here but hard to recommend even off a falling mark.

Reverted to front-running tactics on his penultimate start (returned to form) as he got the run of the race; managed to follow-up that run in similar fashion last time (2nd). Closely matched with Power Sail on that run; could be well placed again.

Forecasts

Cascella (3/1), Military Madame (9/2), Power Sail (5/1), Straight Ash (11/2), Mystical Mac (13/2), Sosian (13/2), Valkenburg (11/1), Mi Capricho (20/1), Indie Groove (66/1)

16:10 Musselburgh - 29 August 2018 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A competitive heat for the grade with a few that will fancy their chances with Power Sail and Straight Ash closely matched on their Beverley form with this track looking to suit the front-running style of the former. Valkenburg needs watching in the betting for a yard that have a good record with their stable/handicap debutantes with Sosian another with claims although she has to prove herself on the ground. CASCELLA has been raised 9lb for her Leicester win but still looks capable of following up here given how she won last time in comfortable fashion.
