SAMBUCCA SPIRIT is penalised for winning at Redcar last week but Paul Midgley’s charge returned a clear winner and is taken to confirm running with both Rangefield Express and Hello Girl. Montalvan finished a close-up third at Ripon recently but that was over 6f and Q Twenty Boy is preferred after placing over the minimum trip at Wolverhampton on his return from a lengthy absence. Cuppacoco should also be sharper for a decent effort at Hamilton and is back on a winning mark while the returning Kodiac Dancer drops in class having switched yards.
