Infrequent winner but he goes particularly well here, gaining second C&D victory in April. Good efforts next 2 starts and whilst below his best at Epsom (7f) latest, no surprise to see a better showing returned to this venue.

4/1
Won 7 times last season, including over C&D. Good fourth in Thirsk Hunt Cup on second start back but subsequent runs have been well below par, doing too much too soon at Sandown (1m) latest. An uncontested lead would see him in a much better light here.

C&D winner. Fourteen runs since last win in 2021. 8/1, fourth of 6 in handicap at Redcar (7f, good to firm) 11 days ago. Visor on 1st time.

4/1
Dual C&D winner who is a largely reliable sort and resumed winning ways by a narrow margin at Beverley (7.4f) 24 days ago, leading last ½f and keeping on. No reason why he won't give another good account up 3 lb.

22/1
Lightly-raced maiden. Tenth of 12 in handicap at Newcastle (7.1f) on back of a wind op 61 days ago, hanging left 2f out and always behind. Needs to leave that well behind if he's to figure here.

On A Session (15/8), Gioia Cieca (9/4), Autumn Festival (4/1), Manigordo (4/1), Castleberg Rock (22/1)

15:35 Musselburgh - 5 July 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

ON A SESSION wasn't at his best at Epsom on his latest outing, yet he's produced some of his very best efforts over this C&D and he's worth siding with to get back to winning ways. Autumn Festival will find this less demanding than his latest Sandown assignment and the assessor is slowly relinquishing his grip. Beverley-scorer Manigordo can also figure.
