Could argue here all 5 have chances here in this open looking hurdle race. Chloe Court may still need to come down in the weights before she gets competitive as she is still 8 pounds above her winning mark.
Rosieisaroseisarose was a bit disappointing on her last outing when being favourite and yet to win in 15 races under rules.
Coquelicot won a listed mares bumper a couple seasons ago and i can remember thinking she could be a good mare over hurdles but her hurdles form was a little disappointing last season. Had a run out at Nottingham last month so that would have blown the cobwebs off as she has had a wind op over the summer as well. Can see why she is favourite.
Misty Bloom will be a threat after her run under her belt for Emma Lavelle. But Ill take a chance though on Runasimi River for Neil Mulholland whose yard seem in a good bit of form in last week or so.
Runasimi River also has course form over here and has won 6 of her 19 races over hurdles which is a fairly impressive strike rate. This mare knows how to get her head in front. Conditional jockey Thomas Doggerell takes a hand 7 pounds of as well. I think a lot bodes well for a good run here
RUNASIMI RIVER (WIN)
15:20 Musselburgh
The 2nd last race on the card sees a interesting small field of four runners in this long distance handicap chase race (3 miles 6 furlongs)
The Ferry Master has not been seen since his Scottish National 4th and had a decent season winning and finishing in good races last season. Statistically has never won from a long break. So maybe one that needs a run and maybe a hard task carrying top weight.
Do not disturb chasing a four timer today. Is given a go at this further trip will he get it? Has won over 3-mile 2 furlong which suggest he would stay also all his wins have come from left-handed tracks.
Red Giant finished a good 2nd in the Durham National but was quite a way back from the winner that day and would need to be on that same level to get competitive
Generator City would be my selection in this race Brian Hughes has had 10 winners in his last 41 rides and is a man in great form. Picked up a five timer at Musselburgh the weekend gone so is clearly in form. Generator City himself is getting weight all round from his other competitors which may count for a lot at the run in. Won last time out at Carlisle seeming to enjoy the longer trip. Can see Generator City being in contention and shouldn't be far away
GENERATOR CITY (WIN)
