Lofty is the only one with form on the surface having placed over track and trip on last year’s debut though he hasn’t raced since October. NIGHT VOYAGER showed signs of inexperience when slowly away at Lingfield on his recent debut and was left with too much ground to make up. But he’ll know more here and gets a speculative vote given James Tate’s yard has good strike rate at this venue. Snow Space can only improve having faded badly in the closing stages at Wolverhampton on his introduction while The Mackem Missile is related to five winners and preferred to Whistling Sands of the newcomers.
