It may not happen very often but with Musselburgh going currently Good and the temptation of good prize money we have 5 runners at the Scottish course. Forth Bridge faces a tough task in the Scottish Triumph Hurdle Trial, taking on Project Bluebook and Fidux both rated over 140 and Soldier In Action who was rated 105 on the flat but making his hurdling debut.
Azure Fly runs in the Edinburgh National, he has been knocking on the door all season and will hopefully go close over 4 miles. Quieto Sol runs in a competitive Handicap Hurdle, he has been running well since going handicapping and will hopefully be with a shout at the finish. We have two novice hurdlers running on Sunday: Monbeg Charmer in the Albert Bartlett Trial Novices' Hurdle and Tree Of Liberty in a Novices' Hurdle.
Loose Chips heads back to his favourite track for the fourth time this season, Sandown, in the Betfred Masters Handicap Chase and Volt Face goes to Taunton on Sunday.
