Feel the Power in Musselburgh’s Virgin Bet Queen’s Cup. LIEBER POWER (3.35) has always shaped like he would come into his own over staying distances, so this 1m6f trip on drying ground could be ideal.
The only time he’s raced beyond 1m4f he found heavy ground too much to cope with at Newbury. His wins at Chepstow and York last year sandwiched a nose defeat to Great Bedwyn. The winner of that Newbury contest was unlucky not to beat today’s favourite Align The Stars in a hot Goodwood handicap.

There should be a solid pace with plenty of horses likely to attack early in the straight. That should allow my fancy to pick up the pieces late on if his stamina holds out. Have 1pt each-way at 33-1. Sky Bet is paying out on five places.
Lucinda Russell is well used to the Musselburgh winners’ enclosure after jumps races but she’s done well with her Flat team in recent seasons.
Her DAIN MA NUT IN (2.25) landed a hat-trick of wins last autumn – including two at this track – and he was a fast-finishing third on his return to action last Sunday.
He didn’t get the cleanest runs through that race and this should set up much better with stacks of early pace in the field.
Paul Mulrennan is in the saddle and he was successful on his only previous ride on Dain Ma Nut In. Have 1pt each-way at 10-1. Sky Bet is offering four places.
There’s an excellent jumps card at Haydock. It’s finals day for several season-long series and FLIC OU VOYOU (3.15) looks to have a great chance in the veterans’ edition.
He loves fast ground and he has been in tremendous form for Henry Hogarth. His back-to-back wins at Newcastle and Carlisle both came on decent ground and he wisely had a break after struggling to cope with a much softer surface in December.
The three-month holiday seemed to do him the of good as he put in a sparkling performance in winning at Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. He’s still well treated on his form for Paul Nicholls two years ago. Have 1pt each-way at 10-1
