The veteran Alpha Tauri has won 11 times to date and all of them came on the Fibresand, including this race last year. But he’ll do well to get the better of MUQARRED (NAP) if the latter reproduces his latest effort here when beaten only a neck in a Class 3 contest. Majestic Moon also went close at the track in this grade recently but Mach One remains 6lb higher than an earlier course and distance win. Zaeem bids for hat-trick raised 5lb having landed a double over 7f on this surface but Monsieur Jimmy only landed a lowly Class 6 event over track and trip back in August.
