Admiralty scored over 7f in October but may need this and Alpha Tauri's four victories at the course all came over an extra furlong. Masai Moon is a course and distance winner who is back on a winning mark but so is CALDERCRUIX. The latter returned an easy four length winner over track and trip on his latest visit to this venue in March last year and is 3lb lower in the weights on his return. Hab Reeh landed a double at Wolverhampton last month but is up 6lb for winning an amateur race on his latest start and the veteran Dickie Le Davoir makes more appeal.
