Refreshestheparts was placed in three consecutive starts at Wolverhampton in September but is now 12lb higher than when scoring at Kempton before that. Breakheart won one of these events under today's apprentice a fortnight ago and should be thereabouts again while Exopuntia went close over C&D last time and can race off the same mark. However, a chance is taken on CAPTAIN KENDALL despite returning from a layoff as breeding suggests he'll appreciate today's longer trip on his handicap debut.
