In depth

Verdict

Martin Pipe rarely ventures up to Musselburgh, but arrives with a strong raiding party including Gone Too Far, who is tipped to beat Divet Hill and Teme Valley. Following wins at Sedgefield and Cheltenham the selection was beaten out of sight in a much better race at Newbury, today's opponents will be more to his liking and he should regain the winning thread. Divet Hill reverts to hurdling following some indifferent performances over the larger obstacles, on his best form he could be thrown in at the weights. Teme Valley takes a big drop in grade having contested the Fighting Fifth last time out, he tends to save his best efforts for Sedgefield, but does look well treated for today's contest. The lightly weighted Hollows Mill is another that can take a hand in the finish but we expect Gone Too Far to pay for Pipe's travelling expenses.
