Racing Preview - The Student Raceday in partnership with Dropkick Murphy's

JOHN WAINRIGHT is hoping Startling will go close in her hat-trick attempt in the Weatherbys Stallion Book Handicap at Musselburgh.

The Malton raider lines up in the £20,000 sprint after wins earlier this month over a similar trips at Southwell and Redcar.

She was given positives rides on both occasions by Jason Hart, who is back on board this afternoon as she attempts to defy a total hike of 11lbs for the back-to-back wins.

Opposition includes Musselburgh regular Jer Batt, who will be making his fifth appearance this year at the East Lothian venue for David & Nicola Barron.

Jim Goldie is double-handed with his course and distance scorers Montezuma and Thunderstorm Katie.
