ONE MORE BOTTLE is from a family that Kevin Ryan knows well and a number of the gelding's siblings have realised their form on a softer surface. Karl Burke has a couple entered in this affair with Respectful’s fifth at Nottingham receiving a timely boost when the winner scored at Goodwood last week. Ice Max was far from cheap at the sales and connections will hope he can build upon a fourth at Haydock Park on debut while Veiled Illusion held entries in stronger races than this so James Tate’s debutant is very much one to note in the market.
