ZAMRA has improved with each run and gave supporters of Glance a fright over the course and distance three weeks ago, form that would be good enough for this. Mark Hoad won the race with a four-year-old in 2012 so Tax Reform should be closely watched in first time blinkers. Seaham had shown a bit of potential at Salisbury in August but didn't handle Fibresand at Southwell on his return to action last week. Honiton Lace wasn't beaten too far at Wolverhampton where he only weakened at the furlong pole in that 1m1f event.
