Verdict

Reflect did better dropped into a claimer last time and has his first start for Tim Vaughan here but LILY THE PINK is preferred. She wasn't disgraced over a longer trip trip last time having been raised 9lb for a runaway win over today's distance at Chepstow before that and looks capable of scoring off her current mark. Achalas is similar in that he too won over 1m4f before being well beaten stepped up in trip at Warwick while Daring Indian finished second to Queen's Estate, who runs in the previous race, at Hamilton last time. Multiple all-weather winner The Lock Master finally got his head in front on Turf when successful at Doncaster recently but this is tougher.
