Verdict
Red Phoenix bids for a hat-trick raised 5lb for winning over track and trip last time, But there are plenty of alternatives including SCORCHED BREATH. The latter found only one too good in novice company here recently and is just preferred to Adelante, placed on the all-weather track at Chantilly on a trip over to France recently. Canal Rocks and Regular are others to consider as both return to action with the latter making his handicap debut along with Crackin Dream while Balata Bay was placed under today’s apprentice here last time and can go well again.
