Verdict

ROYAL REFLECTION (11) started in the red and got the job done on debut last start over 6f at this track. Bred to want a bit of ground so this sharp rise in distance should hold no fears. Big chance with Pike to steer again. Backmarker AWESOME FORCE (5) was in the money on three consecutive occasions before a poor one last time out at Northam. Won his maiden here at this distance so prepared to give him another chance. BARNEY ROMMEL (3) came from midfield to get up for third here recently in a similar race to this. Has been up for a while but the form is holding. Good each-way hope again. SHOW ON THE ROAD (1) settled handy then boxed on well for third over 7f at Northam last start. Nicely placed out to this trip at the third run back. BACK IN THE FOLD (6) won his maiden here at this trip last time and looks capable of going up a level.
