Reflektor did everything right when scoring at Thirsk and has won over this extra furlong. But runner-up CELEBRATION was having his first start of the campaign and can reverse the form on better terms. Richard Fahey also runs Birdcage, twice a winner at Dundalk for Ger Lyons, and Powerallied, who ran three times here last season and wasn't beaten far in any of them. Zebedaios dead-heated at Pontefract and will soon be winning again, though a very wide draw tempers enthusiasm, while Justice Angel looked short of the necessary pace over this trip at Windsor. But the lightly-raced Alsaaden can go well from her low draw, despite an absence since August. The tough and consistent Kingsley Klarion can never be ruled out and also has the inside berth to aid his cause.
