I've also taken 16/1 Musical Slave for the Massey-Ferguson/Caspian Caviar this Saturday.

It's JP's only entry but I'm not sure how significant that might be considering his runners didn't get that close in the Mackeson. I backed this one last time at Newbury, though, and by halfway I was convinced I was on a total non-trier.

I'm not a fan of Johnson, something I've always openly declared, but he was godawful on this horse last time out. I couldn't help thinking he was deliberately putting the horse wrong at his fences yet he wasn't beaten at all far without being given too hard a race. The lasting impression I had was that Musical Slave is significantly better than he showed that day.

If he's just an iffy jumper the chances are they'll take him out so I'd have been on a loser anyway but if he gets into a rhythm just off the pace in order to show his real ability he can't possibly be far off winning.
