Emell took advantage of a slide down the weights to score at Haydock last week. But he has been upped 8lb for that success while stablemate Red Refraction won over track and trip last year but still looks high enough in the handicap. Fiftyshadesofgrey is upped in class having gone close at Doncaster but Red Avenger will find this easier than the Newbury contest he finished sixth in a fortnight ago. MAJESTIC MOON (NAP) also took on much tougher opposition in Listed company at Leicester last Saturday but acquitted himself well and finished a close-up fourth behind Coulsty. John Gallagher's charge should make a bold bid in this with a similar effort.
