Early Morning has been running well over 7f and won over the latter trip here in November. But collateral form gives him something to find with Von Blucher, who also scored over 7f at Newcastle last month. Reflektor popped up at 25/1 over track and trip with Kasbah behind and the latter also finished behind Chelmsford runner-up Nautical Haven last time. MAKE MUSIC has had a couple of outings over 7f since returning to action and started favourite here on her latest start. She gets a tentative vote given Andrew Balding’s mare won at this venue the last time she raced over 6f.
