Muscika^v¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 9-10| J: David Probert| T: D O'Meara| OR: 76| CD

14/1

C&D winner. Respectable 1¼ lengths third of 10 to Jupiter Express in handicap (6/1) at this C&D 14 days ago. Nudged up 2 lb but likely to give it another good go.

50/1

25/1, 6¾ lengths last of 9 to Muscika in handicap at Wolverhampton (6.1f) 23 days ago, left poorly placed. Not easy to make a case for.

9/1

15/8, didn't need to improve to win 10-runner handicap at this C&D 14 days ago. Displayed a willing attitude that day and he should be on the premises again.

Forecasts

Shades Of Summer (1/1), Hello Zabeel (5/2), Em Jay Kay (6/1), Jupiter Express (9/1), Araifjan (10/1), Muscika (14/1), Winnetka (14/1), Sarah's Verse (50/1)

HELLO ZABEEL picked up where he left off in the autumn when successful at Lingfield, and given he may not have reached his level on the AW, he's selected to complete the hat-trick. Shades of Summer also chases a trio of wins and she's a huge danger, with Jupiter Express completing the shortlist.
