STARTS WITH THREE PAGES OF RACING

LINE OF REASON got up in the final strides to claim the William Hill Scottish Sprint Cup Handicap at Musselburgh. Paul Midgley’s charge was sent off an 11-1 shot after finishing ninth behind the reopposing Caspian Prince in the Dash at Epsom. He looked unlikely to take a hand in the finish with a furlong and a half to run as Harry Hurricane had assumed control and seemed certain to gallop on to victory. But Joe Fanning got Line Of Reason rolling down the middle of the track and he gradually pegged back Harry Hurricane before just edging in front by a neck on the line. Kimberella was back in third with Caspian Prince fourth. Midgley said: “That was great. He’s always been a good horse but we just lost him for a bit in Dubai over the winter and after he came back it’s just taken a while to get him back. “Fast ground and speed is what he’s all about really. He was due a bit of luck too as he’s not had too much in the past. “Joe gave him a good ride, he kept it simple as the horse likes something to aim at. He’s entered at Beverley on Tuesday and I might be tempted to go there, we’ll see how he comes out of this but the Rockingham in Ireland on July 2 at the Curragh would be the race for him.” Midgley was completing a double as Orient Class (16-1) had earlier landed the William Hill Tartan Trophy.
