Lightly-raced winner. 15/2, bit below form 8¾ lengths fifth of 9 to Local Dynasty in listed race at Pontefract (8f, good to soft). Off 173 days. Cheekpieces on 1st time. No chances taken with opening mark but he's from a top family.

Won 7f maiden here on second start and made frame in Chesham Stakes on next outing. Failed to beat a rival on last 2 outings though, so now has good deal to prove.

Won at Chepstow and Bro Park last season but underperformed when bidding to complete hat-trick in listed race at Chantilly (7f, good to soft). Viable excuses there, so could get back on the up making handiap debut.

Two wins from 6 runs last year, both on AW. 16/1, well-beaten last of 9 to Local Dynasty in listed race at Pontefract (8f, good to soft). Off 173 days. Needs a couple of these to falter.

Won minor events at Haydcok and Thirsk last August before running a fine second at Ayr on nursery debut. Clearly not 100% on his final outing last term, so isn't fully discounted if ready to roll after 6 months off.

Ready winner of a 7f Leicester maiden on debut and followed up in impressive fashion at Newcastle in June. Finished last season withcreditable third of 8 in nursery at Doncaster (7f, heavy) and he's shortlisted.

Recorded successive victories in July, winning 3-runner event on nursery debut at Thirsk (7f). In-and-out after but his best form at 2 yrs would see him in the mix.

Improver this winter, winning 3 times on AW, most recently when landing 4-runner handicap (13/2) at Wolverhampton (8.6f) 43 days ago. Showed form on turf last summer so looks hard to rule out with the benefit of race fitness on his side.

Well supported and showed improved form when easily winning 12-runner maiden at Southwell (8.1f, 6/1) 30 days ago. Opening mark looks potentially lenient and he's much respected.

Forecasts

Dumfries (3/1), Lion Of War (4/1), Metahorse (11/2), Manitou (7/1), Gincident (17/2), Pol Roger (17/2), Finn's Charm (9/1), Captain Winters (12/1), Chillhi (22/1)

13:50 Musselburgh - 8 April 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

A highly-competitive three-year-old handicap, in which recent Southwell maiden winner DUMFRIES is fancied to follow up from that decisive success on handicap debut. Gincident has enjoyed a productive winter and merits respect back on turf, with Lion of War narrowly making most appeal of those returning from winter breaks.
