Chepstow winner Shesadabber failed to cope with a 4lb rise here latest and eventually finished behind Burtonlodge Beauty. Refuge is still 7lb higher than when scoring over course and distance in July but has gone close again the last twice. RORY has only run here once before and was a winner in May. He got his head back in front at Newcastle three weeks ago and may be worth sticking with, despite a 4lb rise. Lady Lade and Burj Malinka should also be thereabouts.
