ONE WORD MORE made a pleasing debut when runner-up over 7f at Newbury last month with the re-opposing Nine Iron well behind. Charlie Hills' colt can go one better if handling the testing ground while Red Refraction is also going the right way judged on his recent second over today's trip at Salisbury. Zanetto found life tough in the Chesham at Ascot last time but makes most appeal of the remainder as Standing Bear went backwards last time and Whipper's Boy finished last in soft ground on his introduction at Newmarket.
