Trying to make a decision of whether to take my chances and run Amber Princess in the grade 2 mares hurdle or run her in the Musselburgh handicap, any help?

My take go for the one your most likely to win :)

If she if rated highly in the handicap and will land at the top of the weights she may struggle, most do. The grade race will be a significantly greater challenge period but at some point he rating will force you in this direction anyway and it is the only way to know.

Final thing look at next week, Cheltenham, is there a race there you want her for and or is there maybe a easy graded option as all the monster will be in the G1's?

Is how I would look at it

Your horse won off a rating of 98 it now rated 112 so it should still be able in the right handicap be competitive look for a race which contains a horse higher rated than yours if it wins again it maybe time then to step it up into group races its all about getting winners and learning for you in your first season if you run it in a poor Group race and it finishes in the top 3 your horse will be put up in the ratings and that could stop your horse being competitive for the rest of the season its all about planning ahead and giving your horses the best chance to win races.

Perfect for the advice! In that case Grey, could you scratch Amber Princess for race 7 and enter her into race 33? If not, it doesn't matter and she can take her chance in a group race! I just won't be able to get home in time before nominations close.

May want to check your horse, she does not seem to have updated in the TOM, looking at the race card for race 33

Hi Grey, looks like you've entered amber princess from the account that wouldn't let me in, so if you could remove 'amber princess' that has 9-0 in her form with the black silks and orange polka dots but keep the other one in (which is the right account) that would be perfect!
