REFLATION scored twice at Hamilton last month and was well ahead of Wahaab on the first of those occasions. He won by five lengths last time so a 6lb penalty may not be enough to anchor him in this. Head Space has won just the once since 2014 and soft ground is not ideal. Rock Canyon is preferred with an apprentice’s allowance in his favour while Spirit of Zebedee also has a shout off his current mark and Captain Scooby will handle the surface and won off a higher mark here back in May.
