Musical Mystery²³

Weight: 9-12| Age: 4

Forecasts

Musical Mystery (15/8), Al Baahy (7/2), Just Janet (5/1), Dion Baker (6/1), Touchwood (13/2), Pride Of Spain (8/1), Candy Warhol (16/1), Dynamic Talent (18/1), Luna Queen (33/1)

MUSICAL MYSTERY proved better than ever when scoring at Wolverhampton earlier this month and with Tom Marquand back in the plate, he's fancied to defy a 5 lb rise and make it 3-4 since joining this yard. Al Baahy wasn't seen to best effect in a steadily-run affair at Newcastle recently and he could emerge as the main danger back in headgear, with handicap debutant Pride of Spain and Luna Queen taken to fight out third spot.
