REFLEKTOR attempted to make all over 6f here last month but was headed in the final furlong. This shorter trip should suit on that evidence and Tom Dascombe’s charge is taken to confirm running with third-placed Celebration. The latter is trained by Richard Fahey, who also runs Powerallied and Curtain Call, though the latter was behind today’s rival Discreet Hero at York last time along with Excessable and Midnight Malibu. Appleton is the least exposed having raced just twice last year but is having his first start since September.
