Graeme Rodway's play of the day at Musselburgh
The Churchill Lad
The 2m4½f novice handicap chase (2.15) can go to The Churchill Lad, who had form over hurdles here and made a good start to his chasing career when scoring at Hexham in October.
He looked like a natural over his fences that day when beating subsequent winner Caithness and has twice run well in defeat since. He ran into the smart Western Zephyr when second at Carlisle in October and made mistakes at a crucial time in second at Hexham on his last start.
He goes up five furlongs in trip, but stays this far and may hold a class edge off top weight.
