Forecasts

Shine On Brendan (3/1), Kalahari Prince (11/2), Ayr Poet (15/2), How Bizarre (8/1), Propagation (9/1), Chinese Spirit (9/1), Bulls Aye (10/1), War Defender (12/1), Tacitus (12/1), St Andrew's Castle (12/1), Urban Road (16/1), Mi Capricho (80/1)

16:05 Musselburgh - 5 July 2023 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

CHINESE SPIRIT chased home How Bizarre here last time and the pair may well dominate once more. The former is marginally preferred having conceded first run on that occasion, with recent Redcar-winner Tacitus the pick of the remainder.
