Musselburgh 2:13 Result

Priapos holds top form and rating (82) in this modest selling company, with recent figures reading 110056 - two wins and a placed run in his last six starts, showing he's fit and firing. He's stepped into cheekpieces which can sharpen a gelding who may have flattered to deceive slightly last time. Sam James takes over and Phillip Makin's yard has been in good form. Draw 3 is workable at Musselburgh over 1m1f. The key rival Walsingham (O'Meara) has been running over shorter/similar trips with a mixed 805783 line and looks to need this trip to fully suit, while Kaleido, also O'Meara, is up in trip questions and has been freshened with tongue-tie after a break - unproven claim. Humble Spark, Nostrum and The Stone Power all have inferior or more exposed profiles, with Nostrum's 580005 figures poor recently and The Stone Power unproven fully at this trip in this grade having been let down by a well-below-par effort last time (P). Priapos's rating edge, recent winning form figures, and market confidence make him the standout in a moderate seller. He looks the one to beat and the best combination of form and price.
