      Verdict

      Unless Andrew Balding's Shirocco newcomer Band Of Thunder is above average, this looks a straightforward task for REFLECT who was third to the much-vaunted World Domination on his reappearance at Newbury and should strip fitter here. Sirius Superstar looks safely held on that run while Golestan Palace didn't show much in maidens at Nottingham and Leicester last year and Refusal only beat one home on his debut at Windsor last month.
