Situated approximately eight miles to the east of Edinburgh, Musselburgh is ideally positioned to take advantage of the tourist market. The sharp, right-handed gradients tend to suit nimble, speedy types, a fact that is accentuated by the decent ground, which is a regular feature of meetings here.

Effect of the Draw

High numbers are best over 7f and a mile, and over 5f when the ground is good or faster. But when it's soft, low numbers are best over 5f.
Concentrate on: the top four stalls when 14+ runners over 5f (fast ground), the bottom six stalls on soft ground.
