Verdict

JOHN WILLIAMS is always a force to be reckoned with at Musselburgh (a four-time winner at this track). Despite shouldering a penalty (on top of his initial declared racing weight of 10st 7lb) for his gritty odds-on win here yesterday, he can make the most of the chunk of weight that he receives from the Keith Dalgleish-trained Monsieur Co. Of the remainder Boy's On Tour is noteworthy with Perth (in April) beginning to loom on the horizon.
