Hidden Cargo was only beaten a length over track and trip 11 days ago but is 3lb higher and has had plenty of chances. Going easily when falling here in December, Space Safari started favourite at Carlisle seven weeks ago but was pulled up and doesn’t look straightforward. LE TUEUR has travelled up from Pembrokeshire off the back of a second at Plumpton and should go one better here with a clear round.
