Dalgleish looks to score with Glengarry

● Carluke raider eyes Musselburg­h prize

- By GORDON BROWN

Keith Dalgleish is looking for a big run from Glengarry in the feature race at Musselburg­h tonight.

The Carluke raider, partnered by Tom Eaves, faces five rivals in the £20,000 Shawbrook Bank Handicap over an extended seven furlongs at the East Lothian venue. Dalgleish said: “Hopefully he is still progressin­g and the ground should suit him

“His form is looking pretty good and a lot of the horses he ran against last season, such as Nicholas T and Sophie P, have won again.”

Glengarry is a course and distance winner from last August and one of his main opponents could be Mark Johnstontr­ained Thomas Cranmer, a scorer over this same trip earlier in the month. Four-time Musselburg­h winner Ralphy Boy, trained by Alistair Whillans and bred by his Cumbrian owner Frank Lowe, makes a quick reappearan­ce after finishing a respectabl­e sixth at Carlisle on Monday.

Dalgleish also saddles Sebastian’s Wish in the Racing UK Now In HD Handicap. The four-year-old is unbeaten in two starts since joining current connection­s and has been raised 8lb for his latest success over this same 1m 6f trip.

In the concluding Pay For Racing UK Via Phone Bill Handicap, 2015 hero Cyflymder bids to land the same race again, this time off a 6lb lower mark for his South Yorkshire trainer David Griffiths. At Goodwood, Raheen House can land the EBF Stallions Cocked Hat Stakes. Pitched in against Shutter Speed at Newbury last month, he had to concede 5lb to both the winner, who has since gone on to land the Musidora, and the third, Enable, who claimed the Cheshire Oaks in style subsequent­ly. The merit of Raheen House’s form is there for all to see and it will be disappoint­ing if he cannot step up on that.
