September Blaze ran well against Call Me A Star at Doncaster last month but has been done no favours by the handicapper. We'll take her on with the consistent PHASE SHIFT, who won on this surface at Doncaster before finding heavy ground and 2m4f too much in a valuable mares' handicap at Sedgefield. Synthe Davis is usually worth opposing but there should be more to come from Terre Du Vent and Candelita will be happier back over timber. Pass The Time and Dark Spirit appear to have a little to find on their efforts to date however.
