Refractor beat the re-opposing Kuda Huraa over C&D three weeks ago to record his third win at this track. It seems he saves his best for this venue so a 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent another bold bid. However, the lightly-raced four-year-old ENTHUSIASTIC is making up for lost time as he scored at Wolverhampton on only his third start and there should be plenty more to come from him. The Bells O Peover is usually in the mix without being good enough while Rasheed did his earlier winning over 2m and The High Man is 10lb higher than his win at Lingfield in June.
