Verdict
PHASE AFTER PHASE has had a break since showing very good pace in the race won by Monarch Of Egypt with the smart Sunday Sovereign in fourth at Naas back in April and should be good enough with normal progress. Captain Corcoran has attracted strong support in both starts to date but has been well beaten and though Lisard Zara has shown good speed in all three starts she may do better in a nursery, a remark that also applies to Dragon Ryker. Jessica Harrington's yard continues to churn out the winners and the newcomer Millisle is a half-sister to seven winners though mostly over much further.
