Refer made all on the fast ground at Bath and with further progress likely will take some catching despite a big weight. Strategic Strike also led all the way to score at Wolverhampton last month as did Continental Divide at the same venue so it's possible the trio will hand the initiative to a strong finisher. Duroble Man also likes to be up with the pace so it's WOODSTOCK, who was sent into Group 3 company after landing a Lingfield maiden but finished tailed off, who is handed the vote in a tricky finale though Plutocracy is another to keep an eye on.
