Key races and best bets
AMERICAN AFFAIR - 3.00 Musselburgh
A cracking sprint handicap with AMERICAN AFFAIR the most persuasive option. He won at this meeting a year ago and was most progressive thereafter until having an excuse in the Ayr Gold Cup. He's landed the plum draw so has plenty in his favour, with Jer Batt and Mon Na Slieve feared most
SAFE DESTINATION - 3.50 Haydock
SAFE DESTINATION has had a fine campaign and with the form of his latest Chepstow second working out he's taken to resume winning ways here. Duke of Deception is the obvious danger.
LADY BABS - 1.42 Carlisle
Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and Andrew Crook's in-forn veteran LADY BABS is taken to bag a fourth victory of the season at the chief expense of the unexposed Arctic Fox who rates a big threat. Quaresome didn't take to fences at Sedgefield when last seen out but could also have a say now back in this sphere after a break.
WONDERING WHY - 5.24 Huntingdon
WONDERING WHY showed plenty to work on amidst inexperience when fifth in what is traditionally a pretty strong bumper at Newbury a month ago. Expected to build on that, he receives the vote in favour of Amber Waves and Chatty Girl, while Johnny Hooves is a likely-looking newcomer.
TRIBEMANS GLORY - 3.09 Newton Abbot
TRIBESMANS GLORY looked back in top form when third at Chepstow so gets the vote off a workable mark. The thriving Time To Bite looks the obvious threat, while Kadex was in the process of running his best race for a while before falling 2 out at Plumpton last time.
ROYAL ACCORD - 8.30 Wolverhampton
ROYAL ACCORD has steadily found his feet for the Stuart Williams' yard, building on his Bath second when opening his account at Lingfield 9 days ago. He's fancied to follow up with Warren Fentiman's valuable claim negating his rise in the weights. Wee Mary and Trust Sergei both showed more on their respective handicap debuts latest and may pose chief resistance.
