Career best when landing 7f Chelmsford handicap in November. Couldn't back that up when only sixth at Lingfield in December but there's nothing wrong with that Chelmsford form. First run for 122 days.

Ten wins from 33 Flat runs. Better than ever winning 9-runner handicap at Ayr (7f, good) when last seen in September. No great record fresh so perhaps best to look elsewhere this time.

Landed Thirsk Hunt Cup (1m) in 2019 and as good as ever when readily taking 1m handicap here last September. Ended 2020 on a low note but he has a good record when fresh. Not discounted.

Much improved on AW for this yard, winning 3 times at Southwell (7f/1m) this winter. Well handicapped if he can translate that sort of form back to turf.

C&D success in October was his third success of 2020. Respectable fourth final start. Runner-up on reappearance in 2019 and 2020 so every chance he'll be primed for this.

Three wins from 12 runs last year. Ended 2020 with a below-par run on AW but had gone close at Newmarket prior to that.

Back to winning ways in 7f Newbury handicap (heavy) in October and final outing last term was easily excusable. Lightly raced for her age, so could do better still this season.

Inconsistent performer who failed to add to his tally in 2020, finishing tailed off at Catterick on final start. Has left David O'Meara ahead of reappearance. Others more obvious.

Unable to make an impact in handicaps for Richard Hannon last season. Mark has come down as a result but watching brief the percentage call on return for new yard unless betting hints otherwise.

Made a successful reappearance at Leicester last September. Hasn't come close to reproducing that on AW since but is on a favourable mark if a return to turf sparks a revival.

Struggled on turf at the at the end of 2020 and no obvious sign of a revival on Southwell return last month. Likely he's best watched again.

Forecasts

Stone Soldier (4/1), Marshal Dan (9/2), Molls Memory (13/2), Ejtilaab (7/1), Muntadab (7/1), Eton College (11/1), Hayadh (11/1), Manigordo (11/1), Redarna (16/1), Gallipoli (16/1), Three Saints Bay (25/1)

13:50 Musselburgh - 3 April 2021 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

STONE SOLDIER returns to turf off the same mark as when scoring easily on Southwell's Fibresand last time so looks well worth siding with to continue his winning spree since joining this yard. Hayadh has a good record first time up and at this venue so he's on the shortlist, while the booking of Hollie Doyle suggests Molls Memory could be primed to go well on her reappearance.
