Phantasy Mac is upped in trip and raised a further 3lb after completing a double on the all-weather. Jalea Moon won over today’s distance at Yarmouth last month but runner-up SYLVIA BEACH (NAP) was beaten less than a length and the Gosdens’ filly is taken to reverse running on more favourable terms. Dal Mallart makes her handicap debut and this extra distance will suit the half-sister to useful stayer Dal Harraild while Lyrical Lady is another likely to improve for this extra test of stamina.
