Verdict
RED REFRACTION faded away in the closing stages of a decent maiden at York last week. He'd earlier gone very close at Salisbury and looks on a fair enough mark for his handicap debut. Richard Hannon's colt is just preferred to This is Nice who tries a longer trip after a slightly disappointing third at Windsor on her latest start. Tough Lady has two ways of running and is due one of her better displays on the back of a dismal effort at Lingfield and Whitford may come out best of the remainder though he'll do well to trouble the principals.
