I love betting at Musselburgh, and today will be no different hopefully. The 2:00 is an interesting race in that you've got Ipay Isay who looks a bit of a 'job' horse, which means the market will basically tell you what's going to happen with him. Given that I'm looking to back Sea Senor for a place, but will also have a bit on each way. He looks sure to go well, and whilst his lack of consistency is a mite concerning, I think he had excuses on at least a couple of occasions.
Later on we see the return of Harper Valley, a horse Gordon has done really well with, his defeat of Franchoek looking better all the time. Whilst Tamimi's History beat him on the Flat giving away weight, and gets 8lb here, hurdling is a different game, and I fully expect HV to enhance his Triumph Hurdle claims.
Sea Senor 1pt e/w
Harper Valley 3pts win
