Musselburgh – Preview 9th December 2024

Gordon Brown – Race Reporter

Gordon has a wealth of experience of racing through his background in the written and broadcast media. His current principle role is reporting and supporting the scene in Scotland on Racing TV and relaying the latest news with Scottish angles.

You Some Girl, trained by Rebecca Menzies, bids to extend her winning streak to four-in-a-row in the opener at Musselburgh.

Again set to be partnered by Charlie Maggs, who has won three times from just four rides on the mare, she lines up for the Livescore Bet Best Odds Daily Handicap Hurdle over three miles.

She has been raised a total of 19lbs for her winning spree and Maggs said: “You just don’t know what her ceiling might be. I believe she will always deliver so that’s why I can ride her with such confidence.

“Last time at Musselburgh she just took off turning for home and before I knew it we were in front. She’s in great form and hopefully there is more improvement to come.”

Menzies will also fancy her chances with top-weight The Churchill Lad in the Virgin Bet Novices’ Handicap Chase over 2m 4f.

The County Durham raider has won and finished second twice on his three previous runs over fences and has hat-trick seeking local-owned Cardamon Hill as one of his chief dangers.
