VOLTAIC (NAP) failed to land the odds when runner-up over track and trip last time. But today’s opposition is nothing out of the ordinary and Paul Cole’s colt gets another chance with a tongue-tie back in place for this. Quirky Gertie was narrowly beaten at Redcar last month but has something to find with the selection on these terms while Dreamingofdiamonds finished closer at Yarmouth last time without threatening. Reigning Ice is a half-sister to a couple of winning stablemates and is one to note with her yard in top form.
