Musselburgh Race 1 - Racing Post+ Maiden Hurdle (GBB Race)
QUERCUS ROBUR (6) improved from missing the placings with a fourth attempting a maiden hurdle at this venue to finishing runner-up at Kelso providing latest outing in December. Set to go one better. ALSAKIB (1) placed a respectable second on hurdle debut at Wetherby. Unable follow up when outside the top-three finishing fourth at Catterick. Warrants thought as might bounce back. LUNA GRACE (10) placed three consecutive times in jumpers flat races including latest at Newcastle. Might improve making first hurdling appearance. SCRIABIN (7) cannot be discounted having placed third at Perth two starts back.
