2/1
Dual C&D winner who took a hurdles contest at Perth 36 days ago. Fifth of 6 in handicap at this course (2/1) 17 days ago when going off too hard over 16f and paying for it. Drop back to 12f should therefore suit.

5/2
Ayr race she finished fourth in worked out well and she doubled her tally in 5-runner handicap at Ayr (9/2) over 13f last month, showing a good attitude. 3 lb rise won't prevent bold follow-up bid.

13/2
Won a handicap at Hamilton (25/1) when fitted with first-time blinkers. Finished last of 5 in handicap at Catterick (13/2) 16 days ago, softer conditions possibly a factor. Could bounce back on firmer ground based on previous form.

9/4
Still a maiden and didn't carry much of a win threat when third of 6 in 16f handicap at this course (4/1) 17 days ago, merely passing beaten horses after racing well off the pace. Back down in trip.

22/1
Often hampered by starting issues, finishing ninth of 11 in handicap at Ayr (9/2) 11 days ago when slowly away and never on terms. Step up in trip might help but he clearly needs things to drop right.

Forecasts

Simple Star (2/1), Cascade Hall (9/4), Naturalia (5/2), Me And Bobby Mcgee (13/2), Storm On Jura (8/1), Dingwall (22/1)

16:30 Musselburgh - 8 August 2025 - Racecard - Horse Racing - Sporting Life

SIMPLE STAR is a dual C&D winner and having won over hurdles last month, he can be forgiven his latest Flat run her having gone off too hard over 2m. Back down in trip he's selected ahead of Naturalia, who showed a willing attitude when successful at Ayr. Me And Bobby Mcgee could bounce back on firmer ground after disappointing at Catterick.
