Musselburgh Tips: The Nifty Fox

The 4.00 Musselburgh largely revolves around Burning Thread and can he repeat the form that brought him a 7-length victory at Bath. He has to carry a lot of weight in a much stronger race and at 5/2, he’s not an attractive bet.

With several front-runners in the field, the race should be run at a decent gallop and that suits The Nifty Fox. The nine-year-old knows the track inside out having won three times and placed on a further seven occasions from 18 starts.

Previously I thought fast ground was against him but he won on ‘good to firm’ at Musselburgh back in June. I suspect it is because the track is well watered; the GoingStick reading was 8.6 that day and is only 8.1 currently, despite the dry spell.

If the early pace collapses, The Nifty Fox could pick up the pieces at 11/1 (Bet365).
