HOSTELRY goes off the same mark as when second at Musselburgh at the beginning of last week and may be up to going one better now. Shine On Brendan is another who arrives on the back of a creditable runner-up effort in recent days and should figure again. The returning Esticky End won on his 2022 reappearance and is another to consider, particularly if the betting vibes are strong.
