Verdict

Red Refraction was no match for Blessington over track and trip in May but has since landed a double over 7f. He's drawn next to Goodwood winner Slip Sliding Away, who went close again at the same track last time. At the high-end of the draw Shaolin arrives on the back of a win at Kempton while both Rebecca Romero and Pettochside were placed in lesser company last time. New Bidder needs soft ground to show his best while Highland Acclaim was well beaten last time having won at York previous to that. SHORE STEP found Ex Ex a length too good at Newmarket in June but Mick Channon's charge gets another chance here racing off the same mark.
