Offer And Receive is penalised for winning at Hamilton and this looks a tougher race. Bust A Move looks the pick of Michael Dods’ two runners but Beverley fourth Glistening Nights makes more appeal. A good run from Volterra in the opener would boost the claims of stablemate SISYPHEAN, who finished just behind him at York despite carrying his owner’s first colours. Spirit Of Acklam has a couple of lengths to find with the selection but is also a promising type.
