Musselburgh Race 4 - Bernard Hunter Metal Recycling Hcp

CURIOUS ROVER (5) managed to take advantage of a career-low mark and drop in grade to gain his fifth flat success securing a front-running 1.25L Ayr triumph latest. Remains well treated on old form and another bold bid beckons. JER BATT (1) is two from four among this company including a win at this circuit. Placed tackling track and trip when last seen in April. Key player first-up. In-form Connor Beasley rides the Michael Dods-trained MIGHTY MAGNUS (2) who secured his second victory attempting the journey here last month and looks a serious contender. MONTEZUMA (4) has a win and three placed efforts from four previous course visits. Danger.
