Musselburgh Race 1 - Virgin Bet A Good Bet Royal Mile Handicap

COMIC HERO (6) brings a progressive profile with a pair of placings last season preceding a 0.75L victory in a 1400m novice race at Kempton AW during February. The second that day has won since boosting form line. Open to further progress making handicap debut. Serious player. STRENGTH OF SPIRIT (4) is two from four in his career following a 1L success attempting a 1400m nursery at Newbury last July. Rates highly on return. VINCENZO PERUGGIA (1) recorded a promising debut third at Hamilton before winning by 3.5L a Beverley 1400m novice race. Struggled in the 1400m G2 Vintage Skates at Goodwood but drops sharply in standard making first handicap outing. Might feature. UTMOST GOOD FAITH (2) is a three-time winner including tackling this trip. Looks one to note.

Resuming after a eight months break. Not seen since he finished last of 10 at Goodwood in the G2 Vintage Stakes July 29 over 1400m, 10 len behind Zavateri carrying 58.5kg at $41. On debut third in a small field at Hamilton Park June 15 over 1200m, 2.75 len behind Gesayed carrying 60.5kg at $5.50. Not the worst in this and could find a place.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming 3rd of 7 at Southwell All Weather on March 11 over 1400m, 1.5 len behind Illy's Roo with 57.5kg at $11. Second run from a spell 4th of 9 at Southwell All Weather on March 28 over 1400m, 0.8 len behind Tamashal with 60kg at $6.50. Not going well enough. Would need to improve further.

Second-up. Comes off a 45-day let-up. First-up after eight months favourite; won by 0.8 len at Kempton Park All Weather February 18 over 1400m defeating Espanita with 56.5kg at $1.50. Previously second-up 3rd of 7 at Salisbury on June 25 over 1200m, 0.5 len behind Nifty carrying 60.5kg at $8. Fitter and looks one of the key chances.
