Timeform assess the field for a handicap at Musselburgh staged over one mile and five furlongs...

Scatter Dice had a rare blip at Ayr last time but had been in reasonable form before that even if she hasn't won in 2013.

Guising has won maiden here and a Windsor handicap this term. Went off too hard at Doncaster last time but probably too high in the weights now.

Muntasir finished runner-up twice in handicaps last term after winning 1½m Kempton maiden. Not the same force now, though, runner-up in thin Nottingham handicap last time.

Alcaeus was much improved to complete 5-timer of handicaps this term and can bounce back having finished well held in Scandanavia last time.

Hawdyerwheesht scored twice within the space of 10 days in July and better signs since when fourth at Ayr last week, finishing well. Up 2 lb for that, though.

Merchant Of Dubai snapped losing run stretching back over 3 years when edging out stablemate Aleksandar over 1¾m in June. Good second next 2 starts but quickly gone off the boil again. Headgear back on.

Cosmic Sun has struggled for consistency in recent times, but has produced 2 solid performances back-to-back and can't be discounted now.

Timeform 1-2-3:
1. Alcaeus
2. Cosmic Sun
3. Scatter Dice

Timeform Verdict: Alcaeus can resume his progress back in a handicap now. Cosmic Sun and Scatter Dice are feared.
