Forecasts

Alright Sunshine (8/11), Book Of Invasions (5/2), Highate Hill (11/2), Dothraki Prince (25/1)

Verdict

A small-field, yet a relatively interesting bumper with all four of the runners making some form of appeal. Olly Murphy is an infrequent visitor to Musselburgh but maintained a positive strike-rate at this track (67%) prior to the onset of this two-day fixture, so strong market support would shine a positive light on the chances of his representative Highate Hill. However, the preferred option is the Paul and Clare Rooney-owned ALRIGHT SUNSHINE. He has tasted defeat just once in three starts (at the hands of the very promising Lossiemouth) and has already accounted for today's rival Book Of Invasions.

  2. Highate Hill
