A useful handicapper over jumps, LE MUSEE was beaten only a neck at Carlisle last summer when last seen on the Flat. He should go close again in this if acting on the Fibresand. Sincerely Resdev could only manage fourth over track and trip back in October and has been hurdling without success but Never A Word scored over 1m6f here between moderate efforts over further, including at this track. The remainder are harder to recommend though Bolt N Brown is partnered by a leading amateur in Serena Brotherton and could go well.
