After the first race Ross Birkett said that it was 'good to firm' ground.
2-1 Daytime Dreamer, 11-4 Hurricane Thomas, 7-1 Regent's Secret, 10-1 Chocolate Caramel
Daytime Dreamer is sweating a little in the paddock.
The 6.20 is an amateur riders' event, and Daytime Dreamer has an obvious chance as he escapes a penalty for winning at Catterick last week, and is due to go up 7lb from Saturday. His trainer Martin Todhunter said: "He's in good form, and we have to run him as he's on his old mark." An obvious threat is Hurricane Thomas, who was back to form when winning at Beverley on Tuesday.
In the 6.20 8 Dechiper carries 4lb overweight, and 13 Media Stars carries 6lb over.
Hurricane Thomas is 3.7 from 5.7 for the 6.20.
Red Skipper is 11 from 19.4 for the 7.55.
In the 8.30 there is a gamble on Star Links, who is 4.8 from 16. Elijah Pepper is now 6.4 from 7.6.
Grace And Virtue is 9 from 15 for the 9.00.
Two horses from Shane Donohoe's County Cavan stable have been well supported this evening. In the 8.30 Star Links has been backed from 14-1 into 4-1, and in the 9.00 Grace And Virtue has been supported from 16-1 into 9-1.
In the 6.20, Tuesday's Beverley winner Hurricane Thomas has been backed in to 5-2 from 4-1, and in the sprint at 7.25, Ridley Didley has been clipped into 5-2 from 11-4. He is trained by Noel Wilson, whose Red Skipper has been backed from 20-1 to 11-1.
Two others backed in the 8.30 are Burns Night, 12-1 to 6-1, and Cara's Request, 16-1 to 12-1.
It's a fine evening at Musselburgh, and the going remains good after plenty of rain earlier in the week. The GoingStick reading is 6.5.
There are three non runners
6.20 10 Front Rank (sc), 12 River Danube (vc).

Even given Liverpool's woes they are still vastly superior to the standard of Rabotnicky's previous opponents. However, finding, worthwhile bets in such one-sided contests is difficult.
