Musselburgh Race 1 - EBF Restricted Novice Stakes (GBB Race)
HICKORY LAD (1) appeals as the leading chance after finishing 2nd at Thirsk over this trip, beaten 1.37L on debut. STATE OF GOLD (4) was 8th at Redcar last start but started at single-figure odds and may improve. STAY ON TAB (2) finished 6th here at Musselburgh on debut and needs to lift. KODI BEAR LIGHT (3) is an unraced filly and adds some intrigue to the line-up. Something for the Multiples: HICKORY LAD (1)
