Haidees Reflection is upped 5lb after scoring at Ayr last month but she should still have the beating of Dark Crystal on collateral form. Maulesden May won in soft ground at Redcar recently but Rock 'n Red needed 1m4f to win her maiden at Wolverhampton and has been well beaten since. Rosamaria and Bad Penny make the trip up from North Yorkshire for their respective yards and have more scope than most but CHELABELLA travels up from Newmarket for her handicap debut and Michael Bell’s filly may well improve enough to land this with last month’s reappearance under her belt.
