In depth
Verdict
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. The latter should be sharper for the outing and a chance is taken Tim Easterby’s filly handles the surface. War Empress never threatened when third over 1m6f here recently but Lonimoss Bareliere wasn’t beaten far in an all-weather bumper at Wolverhampton earlier in the week. Winning hurdler Liva has been thereabouts recently while Globetrotter won over timber when last in action back in 2018.
