PHOENIX FLIGHT has been a model of consistency this season and is taken to get his head in front with both Sehoy and Summer Lodge worth noting. The selection has not won since March when scoring over course and distance. Since then he has lost nothing in defeat and is rarely out of the frame. He seems to act around this track so with conditions in his favour once again he is difficult to oppose. Sehoy caught the eye after finishing a close second to Petrovsky at Ffos Las last time out. He is still only lightly raced and he is sure to give his supporters another good run for their money. Summer Lodge ran well in defeat at Newcastle last time out and is only one pound higher in the weights so another bold bid can be expected.
