Reel Her In goes for a Musselburgh hat-trick as the curtain comes down on the 2024 Flat campaign in Scotland.
Following two last-gasp wins, both gained by a neck, the Ben Haslam-trained filly looks the one to beat again in the concluding two-mile Join Racing TV Now Handicap.
Ridden one more by Paul Mulrennan, the J P McManus-owned four-year-old has only been raised a total of 3lbs for the two strikes, the latest of which came over course and distance 23-days ago.
One of the main dangers could be Different Drum, a winner at Newcastle in September and a first runner at Musselburgh for dual-purpose Newmarket trainer Louise Allan.
The most valuable race on the card is the £30,000 EBF Restricted Maiden Stakes, staged over seven-furlongs for two-year-olds.
With thirteeen victories to her name, Lucinda Russell is enjoying her best-ever year on the level and the dual-Grand National-winning handler may not be too far away with Storm The Dug, who has two good solid efforts over course and distance to his name.
