      Verdict

      The consistent Double Reflection should be in the mix again after placing at Newmarket and Solar Gold could go well stepping up in trip for her handicap debut. Alexandrakollontai beat Ce La Vie when scoring over a mile at Haydock but has yet to win over this far so a chance is taken on MOUNTAIN BREATH (NAP). She gave the impression this longer distance would suit when winning with a bit to spare over a mile at Thirsk and Chris Fairhurst’s filly has plenty of scope for further improvement.
