Musselburgh Race 7 - Virgin Bet Open Nh Flat Race (Gbb Race)
CABALLO DE GUERRA (7) was unable to capitalise on market confidence debuting at Wetherby beaten 2.5L. Indicated plenty of ability so could get off the mark here. BEYOND THE VERGE (1) has already scored in a jumpers flat at Kelso. Sure to be thereabouts. NOBLE GEORGE (3) is another to have found just one too good last time out. Leading player. Point to point winner SOLDIER IN MAYO (4) might provide a useful level of form and is considered.

Facing the starter for the third time today. When well in the market at debut, won by 0.5 len Kelso 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C4) on September 18 over 3200m defeating Blackwater Lilly carrying 71.5kg at $19 in a flat. Second-up finished second of 7 runners at Kelso 4-5yo HUNT FLAT (C4) on November 9 over 3200m, 1.75 len behind Humble Jumble with 74kg at $5. Can bounce back hard here. Sure to prove tough to beat.

Six-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Telescope out of La Vecchia Scuola. Doesn't profile as the likely winner.

Jumped well in the market at debut, finished second in a small field at Sedgefield 4-5yo WFA HUNT FLAT (C5) on December 6 over 3380m, slow track; 3.5 len behind Lady Kluck with 71kg at $4.30. Sure to improve again. Will take a lot from that run and a better result is likely.

Was well supported at debut, finished third of 9 starters at Wetherby 3yo+ WFA HUNT FLAT (C5) on December 7 over 3200m, on slow going 2.5 len behind Eagles Reprieve carrying 71kg at $3.50. Open to improvement. Has ability and looks a leading chance.

Four-year-old gelding who is first race starter by Great Pretender out of Queenly Mail. Tough assignment at his first outing so tempted to favour others.
