SPIRIT OF ACKLAM should be spot on for this after making a promising return from a break at Ayr recently and this unexposed 3-y-o can return to winning ways on ground which suits. Austrian Theory hasn't won for a while but he's run several good races in defeat this year and is second choice ahead of hat-trick seeking 3-y-o Inappropriate, who has yet to prove he handles the mud.
