Musselburgh 1.50 The Johnston outfit tend to target this early season Scottish meeting and they have a prime candidate in Individualism who stands out somewhat on form ( Newmarket run looking very good ) & he could outclass these. Advised Bet Individualism 2pt win @ 7’5
Haydock 2.05 Course form over jumps is a big edge in my opinion at this track and the one that falls into this is The Churchill Lad. A win over C&D in December looks strong form & there is a bit of value in the current price too. Advised Bet The Churchill Lad 1/2 pt ew @ 15’2
Musselburgh 2.25 Gweedore has won the last two runnings of this & obviously comes to hand early , he is however a bit higher in the weights this time , but he has a good draw compared to plenty of the market opposition and maybe he can go in again with a good value claimer booked. Advised Bet Gweedore 1/2 pt ew @ 5’1
Haydock 2.40 A very competitive handicap and not one I want to have a bet in , so we move on
Musselburgh 3.00 Silke Wilkie won this last year and has obviously been targeted at this once again ( lower in the weights this time too ) , the current price gives nothing away & I am not sure about heavy ground. Plenty of cases can be made for the rest so I am just going to pass bet wise
Haydock 3.15 Another very tricky handicap for exposed veterans and I have no desire to have a bet in this set up
Musselburgh 3.35 The Johnston team go mob handed in this contest with 4 runners & a case can be made for all of them. The one I do like is Hope You Can Run , there is still plenty more to come from this gelding this season & looks the type the yard could do well with at Goodwood later in the season. Advised Bet Hope You Can Run 1/2 pt ew @ 14’1 firms offering 4 places
