MACHO MAC is the least exposed and was not beaten that far when only fourth at Redcar last month, his first start since April - Hughie Morrison’s charge may prove good enough. Compton Prince won here in August but was behind third-placed Swanton Blue at Lingfield last time while Intense Starlet landed a double at Newcastle in September but remains 6lb higher. Le Manege Enchant and Misu Pete finished closer on their latest starts and both are back on winning marks.
