Musselburgh Race 5 - Edinburgh Cup Handicap
REGALIAN (4) can improve following a solid 2.75L third over 1600m at Newbury last time. Leading claims. CITY OF GOD (5) resumed with a creditable 4.5L seventh tackling a 1640m Haydock Park contest. Main danger now stripping fitter. I AM ME (6) scored two back at this track. Might atone in view of a disappointing fifth attempting 1600m at Ascot. WE DARE TO DREAM (2) may fill fourth spot.

At the latest run came home strongly from last on the turn; 2nd of 8 at Chester on May 31 over 2100m, 3.5 len behind Topteam carrying 59.5kg at $29. The run before that ran on strongly from last on the turn; 4th of 8 at Haydock Park on May 10 over 1610m, 7 len behind Footwork carrying 59.5kg at $23. Will need further improvement to trouble these.
