It's a quiet time of year and I'll admit to having a quiet time on the punting front. There's not been a lot of joy since Aintree but it's a strange time of year. The end of the jump season and start of the flat is always tricky as it's challenging to know what horses are fit and well. There's some cracking flat racing in Scotland on Saturday however at Musselburgh.

Align The Stars 9/2, 2pts each-way (4 places)
I really like the chances of Charlie Johnston's 4 year old here. He was mightily progressive last year before finding the step up to Group company too much in the Autumn. He's fit and well after a cracking effort to be 3rd at Nottingham 10 days ago and I expect this has been the plan by connections to love to target this race. I think he could bridge the gap between handicapping and group company this year if he continues his upward trajectory.
