Thrice-raced maiden on Flat. 22/1 and cheekpieces on for 1st time, first run since leaving Brian Ellison when twelfth of 13 in handicap at Newcastle (12.4f) 11 days ago. This should reveal more.

Forecasts

Amor Fati (3/1), Thawry (9/2), Double Reflection (11/2), Manfadh (8/1), Topology (8/1), Thunderoad (11/1), Brutalab (12/1), Tangramm (14/1), Puckle (14/1), Bug Boy (20/1), Destinys Rock (22/1), Smart Connection (25/1), Desert Dawn (33/1)

DOUBLE REFLECTION capitalised on a career-low mark when making all in good style at Beverley 11 days ago and, with her rider's claim off-setting her rise in the weights, all looks set fair for another big run. Amor Fati, Manfadh and Brutalab head up the dangers in the opener.
