Verdict
Rockin Fella was expected to do better at Musselburgh last time having finished much closer when third at Redcar on his earlier debut. He finished ahead of VENTURA GOLD at Redcar but the latter failed to get a clear run in the closing stages and could make a bold bid here granted normal luck in-running. Thrifty showed ability when runner-up at Newcastle and should go well while Villa Tora, Havana Star and Leeshaan are all newcomers worth a second glance in the betting.
