Course specialist Eeny Mac made a winning reappearance over a mile here and is not easily overlooked despite a 4lb rise. But OCEAN APPLAUSE gets another chance on his recent placed efforts at Yarmouth given he found only Genius Boy too good last time and the latter won again last week. Red Shuttle ran a shocker back on Turf at Yarmouth but Chester winner Enzaal is not badly weighted on his comeback. Aryal and Tafawuk have a shout dropping back down in trip though Christmas Light scored over course and distance at this time last year and makes more appeal.
