Meanwhile, at Newton Abbot, Book Of Secrets, trained by James Moffatt, will compete in a 2m1f handicap hurdle. This will be Moffatt's first ever runner at Newton Abbot.
Sovereign View, trained by James Tate, will compete in a 7f nursery at Newbury. Tate's horse ran well at Newbury and is expected to handle different ground conditions. Sovereign View recently bumped into a promising Godolphin winner when second at Chelmsford.
