Crown a new queen at Musselburgh
Field of Exhibition ridden by Danny McMenamin crosses the finish to win the Betway Mares' Handicap Hurdle at Musselburgh Racecourse in 2019

ALTHOUGH the Grand National is only seven days away, there is some fabulous racing both on the flat and over the sticks with Musselburgh taking pride of place for their biggest flat card highlighted by the Betway Queen’s Cup over a mile and three-quarters at 3.35.

Trainer Mark Johnston is bound to have a say with five of the 14 declared runners, the best of which could well be Hochfield who is back down to his last winning mark which came at Goodwood last year.

However, that quintet may all be eclipsed by INDIANAPOLIS (nap) who has finally been given some mercy by the handicapper.
