Man Of The Sea was in good form in the autumn, winning at Stratford when Gavin was unplaced. Gorcombe Moonshine was third at Exeter last month and should confirm that form with Presgrave but PHOENIX RISEN (NAP) ran his best race so far in handicap company when a close third here last time and races off the same mark with David Prichard again claiming 5lb. Sassified still has a bit of scope and may be best of the rest.
