Le Musee won an amateurs’ race here before beaten at Newcastle and should go well again while Bill Cody won over track and trip last month and is fitted with cheekpieces having finished behind runner-up KITTY’S COVE at the same meeting at Newcastle.

Winning hurdler Liva has been thereabouts recently while Globetrotter won over timber when last in action back in 2018.
