Amy Murphy has acquired Phoenix Star from Chris Dwyer, who saddled him to victory at Yarmouth in June. He's comfortably the best of those with experience though RAKASTAVA could prove a tough nut to crack. Mick Channon's charge, a £36,000 yearling, is out of a mare who has already produced seven winners and her latest offspring can take this in receipt of 7lb. Killer Queen, who cost 60,000gns as a foal, went for 3,000gns at the May Sales and makes a belated racecourse debut while another newcomer, Empty Promises, is bred for this trip and his rookie trainer will be hoping to get a winner on board. Major Blue will have come on markedly for his run at Lingfield where he was very green.
