Phoenix Of Spain finished fourth at Sandown on his debut and is a likely improver along with Multamis. But ZMHAR was third behind a subsequent handicap winner over today’s trip at Chelmsford on his latest start and James Tate’s colt gets the vote on that form. Ocean Reach never threatened over track and trip on her debut but finished in front of Exousia while Elusive Brand is a newcomer to note.
