Elsewhere on the day, supporting cards around the country contribute to a bustling spring Sunday of action, where both course specialists and lightly raced contenders look to make statements. Weather conditions appear to be favourable, ensuring a level playing field for those who thrive on genuine ground. Musselburgh’s tight, turning configuration favours nimble runners able to grab prominent early positions, particularly over this minimum distance where rhythm and pace judgement are paramount.
From established campaigners such as Arecibo and Only Spoofing, to rising names like Ziggy’s Queen and Eternal Sunshine, today’s fields brim with diversity and intrigue. Some, like Zarzyni and Castan, bring course form into the picture, while others must prove they can translate previous successes to today’s setting.
The 4:45 at Musselburgh stands out as the most intriguing contest, with several narratives converging: returning horses off breaks, class droppers looking to regain winning form, and recent eyecatchers trying to go one better. The blend of proven quality and current uncertainty makes for ideal betting interest, and one contender in particular makes a compelling case for support.

Nap of the Day: Alligator Alley to Win – 4:45 Musselburgh
Alligator Alley, now under the care of Ruth Carr, produced an encouraging performance on his seasonal reappearance and first start for this stable after a four-month break. His run at Newcastle in March suggested he still retains plenty of spark, closing to within two and a half lengths of the winner despite being up against it late on. Crucially, he now drops to a mark of 77 – two pounds below the rating he last scored off, offering genuine handicapping appeal.
Historically, Alligator Alley has shown a tendency to improve for a run, and his fresh start with Carr hinted that more might be on the way. Although winless at this venue, his overall record over the minimum distance is solid – six victories from 40 tries – and he’s consistently competed in much stronger company than he faces today. His recent Racing Post Rating of 94 is among the best in the field, highlighting a level of ability that, if replicated here, could be more than enough to see him home.
In addition, Jason Hart takes the reins, a rider operating at an 18% strike-rate over the last fortnight and who maintains a 20% win rate across his broader seasonal stats. Combined with a draw in stall 10 – ideally placed to track the pace before delivering a challenge – this looks like a winnable assignment for a horse that hinted at resurgence on his seasonal bow. Given the competitive nature of the field, backing a horse with the class to rise above rivals makes strategic sense.
