Verdict

The market should give us the best idea as to the newcomers but unless there is something lurking in the wings, this looks to be an obvious opportunity for DR PHIBES to gain some compensation. Alan Swinbank's gelding chased home Ginger Goose at Hamilton last month, and. with that horse finishing fourth in the Richmond Stakes at Goodwood, the form appears to be the best on offer. The selection subsequently finished ahead of Byron's Dream when they met at Carlisle, though Jedd O'Keefe's inmate was staying on well at the finish. Kolonel Kirkup is worthy of respect having run above market expectations at Ayr on his debut while Lexington Blue was the most expensive of these to go through the sales ring and his debut at Southwell can be ignored as he did not seem to act on the Fibresand. Annie Gogh steps up in trip having already placed twice in maiden company while Richard Whitaker's Threepence is one to note for the future as he is related to a number of winners over further.
