An open-looking sprint handicap with the vote in favour of REFUGE. He again went agonisingly close when beaten narrowly by a well-handicapped stable switcher at Catterick 4 days ago and the refitting of cheekpieces may just put an extra edge on him. Melody King looked well served by the drop to 5f when successful at Hamilton 3 days ago and, along with Machree, heads up the dangers.
