MIDNIGHTREFLECTION prevailed by only a head at Doncaster but can effectively race off a lower mark here with Charlie Case’s allowance taken into account. She looks worth sticking with given today’s opposition are all upped in class including Lingfield winner Gerico Ville, who us fitted with headgear for this.
