Runner-up on debut, Act Of Will has gone backwards since and SPIRIT OF APPLAUSE has the best form in the book. Tim Easterby’s charge has placed at York and Beverley so far and only just missed out at the latter track last time. Three Yorkshiremen finished in front of Captain Wentworth at York and both will find this easier while Sam James abandons Elusive Truth for stablemate and Rockfel Stakes entry Electric Eyes.
