Reflexion Faite³⁰

Age: 2| Weight: 9-11| J: D Allan| T: K P De Foy| OR: 67

17/2

Lightly-raced maiden. 13/2, ran respectably when fifth of 7 on nursery debut at Ripon (5f, good) 30 days ago, losing place around 2f out before keeping on again. Eased 2 lb ahead of this but a return to 6f may suit ideally.

Zola Power¹⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-9| J: George Rooke| T: R Hughes| OR: 65| BF

10/3

Lightly raced maiden who ran up to best when second of 7 in nursery at Kempton (6f) 15 days ago, bursting clear 2f out but not quite getting home. Return to the minimum trip a plus and he's a player.

Form: 906822

Raft Up³⁸

Age: 2| Weight: 9-8| J: Kaiya Fraser⁽⁵⁾| T: Harry Eustace| OR: 64

7/2

Proved much shorter in betting and showed much more than previously when second of 8 in nursery at Brighton (5.2f) in August, challenging final 1f and just failing. Merits consideration with a repeat.

Elliott²¹

Age: 2| Weight: 9-2| J: P Mulrennan| T: R Menzies| OR: 58

11/1

Thrice-raced maiden. 200/1, sixth of 10 in minor event at Haydock (6f, good to firm) 21 days ago. That effort wasn't devoid of encouragement and he may yet have more to offer now handicapping.

Form: 656

Zaphea⁵

Age: 2| Weight: 9-0| J: Jonny Peate⁽³⁾| T: R Fell & S Murray| OR: 56| D

4/1

Winner at Musselburgh (5f) earlier this month and ran at least as well in defeat from 5 lb higher mark when second at Catterick (5f, soft) 5 days ago. Solid claims in present groove.

Regal Solitaire⁴²

Form: U8670

5/2

Thrice-raced maiden. Tongue strap on for 1st time, eleventh of 13 in maiden (100/1) at Windsor (6f, good to firm) 24 days ago. Will hold more chance now handicapping and worth noting if the market speaks in his favour.

Form: 490

50/1

Lightly-raced maiden. 33/1, showed more than previously when third of 10 in nursery at Carlisle (5f, good to firm) 21 days ago, every chance entering final 1f and keeping on. Needs to pull out more however to figure here.

Forecasts

Amroon (5/2), Zola Power (10/3), Raft Up (7/2), Zaphea (4/1), Reflexion Faite (17/2), Elliott (11/1), Quiet Affair (12/1), Lotting's Lass (33/1), Belvoir Kitten (50/1), Glamorous Joy (50/1), Bella Camina (50/1), Regal Solitaire (80/1), Harswell Star (100/1)

ZAPHEA matched the form of her breakthrough success at Musselburgh when finishing a sound second at Catterick 5 days ago and she looks sure to go well again in this groove. Zola Power rates the chief threat dropped back to the minimum trip ahead of Raft Up. Elliott demands a check in the betting on his handicap debut.
