1.50 Musselburgh – Lazarus Bell £50 EW @ 9/1 BetVictor
Alan Brown has his horses in very good form at the moment and he has a good record at this track. I backed this horse last time out where I thought he was a little unlucky at Haydock. He finished 3rd in the end but could have got much closer with a clear run. I think the step up in trip should suit him and with 8 runners going to post, he looks a solid each way bet. The favourite was very impressive when winning on his handicap debut but this is a better race and he has been raised 10lbs for that win. Lazarus Bell comes in to this race in good form and has twice already ran crackers off this mark in slightly higher grade races. Much rather take this horse each way than back the very short priced favourite.
