Verdict

Atlantic Affair finally ended a long losing run at Musselburgh during the week but carries a penalty in this tougher handicap. Dream Tune was not beaten far in a similar race over track and trip a week ago and can figure while Sandown winner Robins Pearl was well beaten under a penalty at Newcastle last time. But the lightly-raced MUST HAVE posted a better effort when third at Leicester recently and with this longer trip expected to suit, William Jarvis' charge gets a tentative vote.
