Specialized Allez Comp

After completing a few sportives whilst using a friends Trek Madone 5.2, I decided to purchase my first road bike
My budget was £1000, so I opted for the Spec Allez Comp. I really like this bike however it does have a considerably shorter top tube than I was used to riding, however I am not sure where the seat should be set (how far forward or back). Recently it has moved right to front of the rails as when I am down on the drops I think I am forcing it back
Can anyone give me any advice on seat position please

The standard way to alter top tube length is to buy a longer or shorter stem. Most bikes will come with a 10 or 11cm stem as standard and you could easily buy a 14 or 15cm replacement.
Your could also look at changing the bars for ones with a further forward throw, you could get an extra 1cm or so by doing this (a bit more if your current bars are 'compact')
