Royal Brave won three times over this course and distance last year, including this race (2.40 Musselburgh), and is only 1lb higher than his last win. Fast ground is key to his chance.

Musselburgh) is also a first-time gelding (trainer 21 per cent with them) and wears a first-time hood (23 per cent).
