A winner over a mile, LIVIA THE EMPRESS failed to get a clear run over today’s trip at Bath last time and gets another chance in this weaker contest. Wholelotafun also drops down in class having placed on the all-weather on the past while Wildcitydiva drops down in distance having failed to see out the 1m4f trip at Beverley last time. Swing Low is preferred to stablemate Valley Of Flowers and Loch Long of those handicapping for the first time.
