Royal Brave (7/2), Signore Piccolo (5/1), Landing Night (5/1), Paddy Power (11/2), War Whisper (6/1), Merhoob (8/1), Tallinski (9/1), Oriental Lilly (12/1), Sfumato (12/1), Economic Crisis (14/1)

A typically competitive Musselburgh sprint where gaining a good position from your draw will play a part and despite the fact that MERHOOB has yet to win on turf he’s chosen to take this after his two very sound runs on the AW this year. Royal Brave can never be left out of things around here and he’ll find this less exacting than the 0-105 he contested at York last time. Landing Night has been knocking on the door of late and he another one who should be given a decent chance. Both Signore Piccolo and Economic Crisis have shaped well of late but neither have been that lucky with the draw while another to catch the eye of late has been Sfumato but 6f looks more his trip.
