Verdict

There was plenty to like about the way Forever Phoenix landed her brace of wins last month and the daughter of Shareef Dancer is taken to be a step ahead of the likes of Prince Aaron, Sounds Lucky and The Fisio, who have all been in fair form of late and are shortlisted as dangers. Whereas, Gun Salute and Polar Force will no doubt be popular choices amongst each-way players and could easily be thereabouts to fill the frame. However, Forever Phoenix is on the crest of a wave at the moment and could easily brush aside her steep rise in the handicap against this bunch of frustrating rivals. Prince Aaron arrives here with a similar improving profile and will give a good pointer towards the chance of Hard To Catch later on if he, as expected, comes out as best of the rest.
