Alignak folded tamely at Ffos Las on last month’s reappearance when sent off the odds-on favourite. This shorter trip may help but he has something to prove now despite having leading claims on these terms. Sea It My Way showed a big improvement when fourth over 1m2f at Chelmsford last time and can figure but NOBLE MUSIC makes most appeal. The latter found a couple of John Gosden runners too good at Haydock last time but this looks easier and Ralph Beckett’s filly has the beating of both Omnivega and Master of The Moon at the weights.
