Dave Nevison's horse racing tips: No scruples about Propriety at Musselburgh

Our website tipster Dave Nevison thinks three horses with more to offer can strike at Musselburgh and Chelmsford. Enjoy further Flat action from Redcar and the third day of the Punchestown Festival live on Racing TV and Racing TV Extra.
Here are three lightly-raced types who are in very good hands – and who can hopefully improve past exposed rivals.
Harry Allwood
Finished: 5thSP: 2/1
This lightly-raced filly might never live up to the aspirations of her pedigree and £1.2 million price tag, but she looks set to win a middle-distance handicap based on the improvement shown on her reappearance at Beverley.
Dropped 4lb in the handicap, she was beaten just three quarters of a length in second after being prominent throughout. That was her first run in headgear and her first run for David O’Meara, and she clearly benefitted from both.
Musselburgh suits prominent racers, and this contest certainly doesn’t look any more competitive than the Beverley race.

Finished: 4thSP: 11/8
El Ray is a half-brother to Irish Classic winner Phoenix Of Spain and has had just three runs. Though the handicapper has not been hugely generous based on his achievements so far, he has potential to improve out of this grade.
He showed definite promise on his return and stable debut for Stuart Williams last month, being slow to start but then not knocked about at all in the closing stages. If the application of a hood has a positive effect, it does not seem that big a jump to win a race such as this.

This lightly-raced four-year-old is the type of horse that trainer Sir Michael Stoute has excelled with for decades.
Satono Japan won on his debut as a two-year-old, but was then off for a year and not seen until the back-end of last year. He ran OK on the second of those starts, most recently finishing fourth in a Listed event.
The booking of Ryan Moore looks significant and the Stoute yard is in pretty good form, so the signs look promising for a good run from a lightly-raced type with the potential for further improvement. The market may guide us better.
