Business is booming

MUSSELBURGH

(4.25) was hugely impressive at Huntingdon last time and is taken to overcome an 11lb rise for fledgling trainer Harry Derham.

The selection left Paul Nicholls’ stable in December and we can be sure Derham wouldn’t have been given a dud by his great mentor. This eightyear-old could be smart.

Another improver to side with is BAK ROCKY (3.55), who can follow up his win at Uttoxeter on New Year’s Eve. It was a race he did well to win as he showed deep reserves of stamina to reel in Chanceux with the pair 11 lengths clear. He should relish this step up to 3m.
