Boolass will find this more difficult than the maiden she won over track and trip last time while Age Of Innocence won here before a poor effort over 5f. Bapak Bangsawan is better over the minimum trip but the veteran Alpha Tauri has recorded all eight wins to date on this surface and is back on a winning mark. ELUSIVITY failed to give weight away in a claimer at Chelmsford during the week but his earlier fourth to Boomerang Bob reads well in this context and Conor Dore's charge should be in the mix again.
