Verdict

MIDNIGHTREFLECTION appeared to have lost her way prior to bouncing back with a solid effort at Plumpton and, currently 9 lb below her last winning mark, she is easily the most appealing of these based on recent evidence. Kansas City Chief may well finish closer to the selection here than he did at Plumpton but a bigger threat is likely to be posed by Paricolor, who will find both this company and ground more suitable than what he encountered at Warwick last time.

  1. MIDNIGHTREFLECTION
  2. PARICOLOR (FR)
  3. KANSAS CITY CHIEF (IRE)
