Today we have BALAKIREF (5.45 Thirsk)
This is a really useful and enlightening thread

Thanks fsharpminor!
I commented a few days ago

I regularly look up terms or composers that I don't know when I come across them on this thread - like I said, it's really useful, and entertaining too

Yesterdays results in previous post.
Today with good chances we have CHAMPAGNE ROSSINI (2.10 Market Rasen)
and ORCHESTRATOR (3.00 Folkestone)
Less fancied is MUSICAL SCRIPT (3.20 Wolverhampton)
If you class MEDLEY (8.10 Mewmarket) as being musical, it maybe has the best chance of any of them.

Serious apologies for going slightly off topic here...
..but my dog's registered kennel name is Rilloby
Carlotta Mia (from Phantom of the Opera) and she's qualified for Crufts 2008! She also won Best Puppy in Breed at the Scottish Kennel Club Championship show in May, and has a Best Puppy in Group and a Best Puppy in Show at 'open' level.
She's quite a diva and 'sings' to me quite often...
None of my other dogs have musical associations though...
