Fair maiden on her best form although she's shown little of that since joining her current yard. Her best run for this yard came on her initial outing for them (been downhill since); upped in trip again to 7f, makes limited appeal.

All of three wins have come on the AW 5f-7f; well below form last time (halting his good run of form). Well below his last winning mark back from a break returning to turf (yet to score on this surface 0-11); trainer respected with his GB runners.

Second wind op appeared to have as little effect as the first when he ran poorly last time (finished last) over 1m1f at Wolverhampton. Now back on turf (0-8) off a mark that has declined rapidly without him being able to take advantage.

Gradually finding his feet after wind surgery with his last two starts suggesting that he's returned to some sort of form. Both those runs came over 6f though with his form at this trip looking debateable (0-5 at 7f); nicely weighted if he does stay.

Took advantage of a lowly mark (47) to score on the Tapeta at Newcastle over this trip in January 2018 (back down in trip). Only four starts since (all at the same course); well below form when last seen; now returns to turf with risks attached.

Ran consistently prior to a wind op winning a basement grade handicap over 7f at Newcastle last December. Took third at Southwell on return from wind surgery/absence last time over 7f (hung left in closing stages); 0-5 here but not ruled out.

10/1
Course winner over 5f that win coming off a mark of 64 so it's visible from her current mark how much she has deteriorated. On a losing run of 13 currently; not run on turf since finishing last over C&D in October 2017; others appeal more.

10/1
His Flat exploits are best summed up by his record of 0-18 with his latest outing on the level offering little (wore hood/eyeshields) at Southwell (unsuited by track). Two recent hurdles efforts haven't offered any hope; makes little appeal.

20/1
Placed here on three of his four starts his best form of late has been shown on the AW; a win at Newcastle over 6f ending a long losing run in February. Recent turf form hasn't matched that on synthetic surfaces leaving doubts about him here.

25/1
C&D winner (the only one in the field) his yard are really to get going this year (only had six runners so far). Ran no sort of race when seen on the AW earlier in the year with his losing run now stretching back to that last C&D win (October 2017).

One of two that the yard runs in this (also have Let Right Be Done in the field) but similar comments apply to this one who returns after an absence but remains a maiden. Decent fourth when last seen but slow starts can make life difficult.

16:25 Musselburgh - 2 May 2019 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A distinct lack of solid profiles in this low-grade handicap with a fair few of these having a lot to do given their recent form. Rebecca Bastiman has a fair record at Musselburgh (17% strike-rate) and a chance is taken that her representative MILTON ROAD can last out the 7f trip having looked as though he was running into form. Ahundrednotout deserves close inspection for a yard that have to respected with their GB runners, they boast a 3-8 record with their runners here. I Am Dandy makes some appeal on his second run back from wind surgery with his last run at Southwell showing that he was capable at this level and he has run well enough on turf before.
