Musselburgh

With only two races to her name, Anna Belardo is still finding her way — but she did finish third last time out at Newmarket, which is more than most in this field can say. Her odds have drifted sharply from what looked like a strong opening price, suggesting confidence has cooled since markets opened. She has a low draw (1) which is marginally the best place to be at this course and distance, and she brings more racecourse experience than half her rivals.

The race's editorial verdict singles this horse out as the one to beat, with the view that a debut fifth at Beverley left room for the kind of improvement young horses often show second time out. That said, the odds have drifted considerably, so the market isn't convinced. The jockey-trainer combination here wins roughly 1 in 18 races together, which is a modest record to lean on.

Three races in and still searching for a first win or even a placed finish — Furturra is the least productive runner in the field on form. A seventh at Chester last time out was the worst result of the three, which isn't the direction you want to be heading. The one small positive is that Furturra has already raced at Musselburgh, so the course is not new territory.

Autumn Jewel has never raced before and arrives wearing a hood, which is sometimes used to help a young horse focus and settle on their first visit to a racecourse. That small detail is worth noting — it suggests the team are thinking carefully about how to get the best out of her on debut. Beyond that, there is no form to work with, and at 11/1 the market views her as a mid-range unknown.
