Verdict
REFUGE (NAP) was narrowly beaten in an amateurs’ race at Ayr last week having earlier completed a course and distance double. He gets another chance in this having already beaten Sunset Glow and Astapor this season. Earn Your Stripes only won a seller here last time and Koropick went close in classified company at Musselburgh but Imperial Khan reportedly boiled over at the start when favourite at Musselburgh and is fitted with a hood.
