Course regular Alpha Tauri won this in 2016 and the veteran slips further down the weights while BEE MACHINE scored over track and trip in August and went in again at Catterick last month. An apprentice’s allowance cancels out a 7lb rise in the weights and Declan Carroll’s charge should go close again. Space War is a course winner and regularly placed while Bond Angel debuts on this surface after finishing third at Chelmsford. Song Of Summer slips further down the weights but Going Native is preferred returning to this track for the first time since placing here in February.
