My Reflection gets a narrow vote in a wide open contest, Silver Nun and Midge's Girl may provide most danger. Apart from an inexplicable poor run here the time before last, My Reflection does hold his form well. He put in a solid effort last time at Lingfield behind the much improved Garstang and a similar effort in this weaker contest should be good enough. Midge's Girl showed her first sign of form when runner up to Mid Valley over the seven furlong trip here last time. The drop in distance should not be a problem and so long as that wasn't just a flash in the pan she should make her presence felt. Tim Easterby doesn't run too many in banded company and Silver Nun showed enough in maidens last season to suggest she could play a part in this very weak affair. Beckoning may be helped by the first time visor and looks the pick of the reamainder, but we return to My Reflection as the percentage call.
