Queen Regent was beaten less than a length when third at Kempton behind a couple of Charlie Appleby charges. That should give the latter a decent line on the chances of REFLECTIVE STAR, who was friendless in the betting at Southwell last time on the back of a disappointing debut but ran well for fourth and the third has subsequently won. Alpina Express is related to several winners and is preferred to Bosc Girl of the newcomers.
