Musselburgh Race 2 - Enter ITV7 For Free Handicap
BLUES AND ROYALS (2) had the better of some of these at Kempton. His 1L win over 1600m was a fine introduction to handicaps and a climb in weight might not be enough to stop him. IBN ALTHEEB (4) is a contender on his stable debut for Iain Jardine. He won by 1.75L with cheekpieces added providing his penultimate start over 1700m at Wolverhampton. A return to that form makes him a leading contender. There were excuses for the defeat of THESTRAL (8) at Kempton. May prove better than his 5.5L defeat behind the main selection. SAXON PRINCE (10) missed by a short-head at Kempton in March. Interesting making stable debut for John and Sean Quinn.
