THE TRACK A CIRCUIT OF THE TRACK IS APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE. THERE ARE 8 HURDLES AND 8 STEEPLECHASE FENCES ON EACH CIRCUIT, WITH 2 OPEN DITCHES ON THE CHASE COURSE. THE ALL-WEATHER FIBRESAND BEND WAS INSTALLED IN 2012 FOR SAETY REASONS ON THE TIGHT TOP BEND AFTER THE FINISHING LINE. THIS IS UNIQUE TO MUSSELBURGH RACECOURSE AND THE FIRST IN THE UK.

TODAY’S FEATURE TURE RACE

Ourr feature race of the Jumps Season Opener is the Racing TV Profits Returne Returned To Racing Handicap at 3.48, which sees 6 horses line-up for the contest. There looks to be some nice prospects iin the race as Return Ticket improved to win at Wetherby etherby last time out with Brian Hughes on board. Another interesting interestin prospect comes in the form of the Iain Jardine ne trained Gold Des Boi, who has enjoyed a series of consecutive secondssecond improving from a seventh at Tipperary inn July. The booking of Connor Farrell for the third time this season sparks further fur room for improvement, and the step up in trip should leave room for improvement also also.

JOCKEYS TO WATCH H Brian Hughes has enjoyed a 22% strike rate over the last 144 day days, and saddles a horse in every race this afternoon. His rides here this afternoon include Return urn Ticket in the fe feature Handicap and Morraman in the 2.03 Hurdle. Craig Nichol is the next best st one to Hughes, having had a strike rate of 14% over the last 14 days. His rides include nine-year-old Slanelough for the second time tthis season, having finished third at Carlisle in October. Danny McMenamin is the next best one, with a str strike rate of 12% over the last 14 days; he rides Cedar Hill in the 2.38 and The he King Of May in the feature rrace- both for the first time.

TRAINERS TO WATCH Top spot of the Edinburgh Gin Trainers’ Championship for the 2021 season was claimed by Keith Dalgleish with eleven wins and eighteen Best Turned Out awards. He has three chances here today, that come in the form of Arthur’s Seat (1.00), Taxmeifyoucan (2.03) and Le Magnifique (3.13).

Donald McCain is another one to watch, after his 36% strike rate over the last fourteen days.

He saddles five prospects this afternoon; Minella Plus (1.00), Armattiekan (1.30), Morraman (2.03), Gaelik Coast (2.38) and Constancio (3.13).

RACE DESCRIPTIONS 1.00 THE JOIN RACING TV NOW EBF ‘NATIONAL HUNT’ NOVICES’ HURDLE Novice races tend to be for younger horses that are still learning their way over hurdles or fences and allow them to race against each other before graduating up the ranks. Horses are classed as a novice if they have yet to win a race, under the respective code, prior to the official start of the season, towards the end of April although for wins between 1st March and the end of the season they may continue to contest novice races until the end of the following October. This particular two mile and four furlongs novices’ hurdle race is for four, five and six-year-olds which have not won more than two hurdle races.

1.30 THE RACING TV GO NORTH HANDICAP CHASE (GO NORTH MIDDLE DISTANCE CHASE SERIES QUALIFIER) This is a two mile and four furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 110. In a handicap the weight that each of the runners carries is determined by their official handicap rating which is based on their level of form shown so far. The aim is to ensure competitive racing by asking the higher rated horses to carry more weight than lower rated rival. As a guide, horses rated 60 tend to be at the lower end of the scale whilst the very best performers would be rated as high as 110.

2.03 THE EVERY RACE LIVE ON RACING TV HANDICAP HURDLE This is a two mile and seven and a half furlongs handicap hurdle race for three-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 140. To qualify for a handicap rating horses must have won a race, been placed twice or raced at least three times in order for the handicapper to gauge the level of form shown. This rating then dictates the weight to be carried in a handicap. In simple terms a horse rated 135 in this particular race would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 130.

2.38 THE VISIT RACINGTV.COM HANDICAP CHASE This is a two mile and four furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been rated from 0 to 135. Once a horse has qualified for a handicap rating this is regularly reassessed. A below-par effort could result in a reduced rating whilst a strong performance could see the rating increased. Occasionally, horses are entered to race before their handicap rating has been reviewed and so to avoid recent winners being un-penalised they are allotted a mandatory penalty – usually 7lb.

3.13 BET AT RACINGTV.COM HANDICAP HURDLE (CLASS 4) This two mile, seven and a half furlongs handicap hurdle race has been designed for three-year-olds and upwards which are rated from 0 to 120. In most National Hunt handicaps, there is a minimum weight of 10st so any horse whose official rating would allocate them less than that still has to shoulder that burden. The horses that fall into this category are said to be racing from ‘out of the handicap’ – usually a distinct disadvantage.

3.48 THE RACING TV PROFITS RETURNED TO RACING HANDICAP CHASE The penultimate race this afternoon is a two mile and four furlongs handicap steeple chase for four-year-olds and upwards which have been officially rated 0-140. As in all handicaps on this afternoon’s card the weight that each runner carries is determined by their official handicap rating. In this instance, a horse rated 140 would be required to carry 5lb more than a rival rated 135.

4.23 THE WATCH ON RACING TV ‘NEWCOMERS’ NATIONAL HUNT FLAT RACE (CATEGORY 1 ELIMINATION) (GO NORTH NHF SERIES QUALIFIER) As the title suggests, a National Hunt Flat Race or ‘bumper’ as they are more commonly referred, is a race that takes place without any fences or hurdles. Designed for young horses that, it is presumed, will go jumping in time; only debutantes or horses that have run in this type of race, or an Irish or French equivalent, are qualified to run. If they have previously run on the flat or in hurdle races or steeplechases (except for point-to-points), they are barred from entry. This particular contest is restricted to horses aged four, five and six and will be run over one mile, seven and a half furlongs.

PLACING A BET HAVING A FLUTTER IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THE FUN OF COMING RACING. 1. PICK YOUR WINNER!

Many people select a horse based on it’s name or jockey colours or go to the Parade Ring to view the horses.

Alternatively you may wish to follow a particular jockey or trainer, or a tipster in a newspaper. Others like to look at the horse’s previous races or ‘form’.

2. WHERE TO PLACE YOUR BET

1. In the Betting Ring, in front of the Grandstand, with a racecourse ‘bookie’. This is great fun as you can shop around for the bookmaker offering the biggest odds on your selection.

2. With totepool at one of their designated betting points all around the racecourse.

3. At the totesport betting shop in the Links Pavilion, which is identical to a high street betting shop.

4. At the totesport club office, if you are a member of the totesport club.

3. PLACE YOUR BET.

Decide how much you want to stake, and what type of bet you would like to place. Then Cheer your selection home! There are a few simple rules that you need to follow after placing your bet.

- Please check your receipt. Mistakes cannot be rectified after a race is off.

- Keep your bet receipt safe. You will need this to collect your winnings.

- Don’t throw away your ticket until the racecourse announcer says ‘Weighed In’.

- Even if your horse has not won, the result may be changed if there is a ‘Stewards Enquiry’.

GOOD LUCK!

PLAY SMARTER

This promises to be the ideal test for SOCIALIST AGENDA, who was impressive in winning all 3 bumpers starts in 2020, so he’s fancied to defy a 13-month absence and make a successful hurdling bow.

Arthur’s Seat also had a productive time of things in bumpers and looks an obvious threat, as does recent Sedgefield second Minella Plus.

This looks tricky and the tentative vote goes to BOY’S ON TOUR, who hasn’t got his head in front for over a year but he’s been given a chance by the handicapper and there were encouraging signs last time.

Doktor Glaz will be a threat if ready to roll, while Eagle Ridge evidently likes it here and he shouldn’t be far away, but there are doubts surrounding recent winners Armattiekan and Graystown.

PLAY SMARTER

Without the benefit of market clues, it might be best to side with WALTONS GROVE, who has plenty of speed in his pedigree and represents a stable that does well in bumpers. Kopa Kilana also makes appeal, but he’s unlikely to be suited by a speed test, so it could be that Martalindy emerges as the main threat to the selection.
